I think that the argument over John 6 shows the inadequacy of the New Testament as a "final authority."

There goes Robby showing his true colors and general disrespect for the Word of God again. I'd call it blasphemous.

You have a low threshold for "blasphemy." Recognizing that different people come to different conclusions upon reading the text is called "having your eyes open." It isn't disrespecting the text.

For example, the last few days the NC's here assured me that "the flesh profits nothing" doesn't refer to Jesus' flesh. Now Havoc is here saying that it does. Which of you is right? Why do two "spirit filled" Christians being "led to all truth" come up within different answers?

Let's say I have milk and cookies. If I drop the cookies on the floor the milk gets spoiled. Likewise, if I spill the milk the cookies grow mold.

Listen to this old thick one. If you drink the milk you are not eating the cookies! If you are eating the cookies you are not drinking the milk. Get it? Your statement above does not change this fact.

If they are linked in despoilage, they are linked period. If an action to the bad on one affects both, then an action to the good on one affects both.

Be honest. You really don't give a crap about any text other than John 6 as long as you can make it jive with Big C catholecism.

For example, the last few days the NC's here assured me that "the flesh profits nothing" doesn't refer to Jesus' flesh. Now Havoc is here saying that it does. Which of you is right? Why do two "spirit filled" Christians being "led to all truth" come up within different answers?

Again dishonesty. A couple of days ago I explained to you that when Jesus compared spirit and flesh he said that the flesh "profiteth nothing". You keep wanting to change it to "His" flesh. Again if you can't handle the Word of God with respect I'd rather not be bothered with your foolishness.
