The righteous gold in Scripture is usually quite accessible to the simplest child of good heart.What vernacular is the OT (or NT) written in?
In that time period what was written by whom? Are those thoughts crude?
What does Scripture intimate about God's thoughts concerning "wisdom" and the "educated"?
You're absolutely correct in your assessment. Let me tell you one thing with certitude:
this is NOT an excercise in intellectual proficiency. I can cite you emminent professors that have major portions of Scripture memorized and don't believe a single word of it.
There is NO way that one can be illuminated by truth without the Holy Spirit's influence; that will NEVER come without asking for it.
There is also cousin in #1291NAsbU Colossians 4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his
greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received
instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);
Amen. How much clearer can that be? Arghh.
The trinity is not extra-Biblical, as if you don’t know that. All three persons in the God-head are clearly identified and established in Scripture. Just because the word doesn’t show up don’t mean the principle ain’t there.
No human can fulfill the sacrifice of Christ. He declared “It is finished!” (or “It is paid in full!” depending on which translation you prefer). All any saint - including Mary - can do is point people to Jesus. Neither she nor anyone else can fulfill what He completed. No one’s salvation depends on Mary or any other earthly priest.
You fail to answer the question I posed, only bringing up peripheral arguments to detract from the issue: Why is Jesus not enough?
Oh, of COURSE it is...LOL.
It is clear to those who have eyes to see it is not clear to fence posts
>>Amen. How much clearer can that be? Arghh.<<
So when someone calls my adopted sister “your sister” it magically makes us blood relatives?
I do want her skin tone though.
Or you can download an Excel file from this page, look for “Read the Bible in a year” near the top of the right column: http://menofhonorministry.org/Discipleship.htm
You can put in start date and it will populate a chronological reading plan for the year for the whole Scripture. I print out each month’s reading and use it as a bookmark.
Sorry, but most protestants don’t go for this stuff. Never heard of Stewart.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
That is correct. Just like your bible. Your worship sevice. Your concordance. Your AWANA club. The essayists you read. The sermons you listen to. They all lead to Jesus.
I don’t keep that much track of such things though I agree strongly with you.
The RM would know. He has referred to it in open threads 2-3 times, IIRC.
You might find it quicker doing a search of all his posts the last 3-4 weeks.
WHAT is so hard to understand about that scripture? Arggh.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Why? So we can get slapped on that one, too? LOL.
Lutein.
WHY IS CHRIST NOT ENOUGH? I can’t help but wonder about that myself. It boggles my mind.
>>Why? So we can get slapped on that one, too? LOL.<<
Didn’t Christ command that you do that?
