There will never be unity between Christians and the heirs of the Gnostics. Your self described elect are the Pharisees of our day. John 10 does not address the ability of men to walk away from God. I gave you the very words of Jesus that do say that. Why do you ignore them? John is explicit.
Do you realize that the gospels are actually Old testament? They record for us that Jesus kept the jewish laws perfectly. They tell us about the miracles God preformed through Him preformed to verify His divinity
You've mentioned this a couple of times, if I recall. What an odd thing to say. No Christians have ever believed that Christ is OT. Will you rearrange the rest of the NT now?
The entire scripture comes from God ...No one was following jesus around with a recorder.. God breathed the memories that were to be reported for our benefit in the scriptures..
I am enquiring where the words of Nahum are as important as the words of Jesus. Where does it say that in Scripture? Who says that the tallies of the Chronicler are as important as the words of the Sermon on the Mount? Are you saying that God dictated the Bible? According to the Torah itself, it contains the only God-dictated books of the Bible. Luke specifically is not; John's Revelation most certainly is not. According to them!!! Jesus thought the OT was inspired.. He quoted all the time.. "it is written"... "Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
You can't have it both ways. Either ALL scripture is equal, and scripture says it, or else you as a 'Bible Believer' must reject that statement.
