I quote from wherever the facts and issues take me, or even better, from wherever the Holy Spirit leads me

Oh, sure. Very convicing. And I imagine with a little star dust you can fly too...right? So, this is not really you doing the answering but the Holy Spirit? Should I porstrate myself to the ground now? This is the type of self-deifcation that the Reformed thoelogy does to people, by elevting their own interpretation on the level of God. I have news for you: it's called ego and it is spelled self0righteousness.

you still are alleging that "God" contradicts Christ

Christ of the Gospels contrasts a lot of the OT. The two are often diametrically opposed.

("Moses wrote about ME!")

You have still failed to show me where. Raising of a prophet is a far stretch of one's imagiantion.

By my own stated beliefs you have me saying that God trumps God because I say that all scripture is God-breathed. That's impossible.

By your stated beliefs, yes. But your stated beliefs are about as credible as anyone else's stated beliefs. They are not a certificate of truth to anyone except you and those who think like you, but not in any absolute sense. I hope you realize this one day. It's a humbling experience, FK.

No one holds a monopoly on truth. It's a choice what we believe.

Kosta: True Christians put Christ first, Paul and Moses second.

FK: In terms of their PERSONS, yes of course. But we are talking about scripture here. God-breathed does not trump God-breathed as to truth

You have no proof that the Bible is God-breathed (as you define it). You choose to believe it.

No star dust necessary, with God all things are possible. :)

Only to the extent that what I say is God's truth. When I blow it, that's on me.

Christ certainly didn't think so, in fact, He supported the OT, the scriptures, every jot and tittle. Maybe one of you has to be wrong about this. :) BTW, I read somewhere that there are no jots and tittles in Greek so this must have been Jesus making an MT reference.
