Nevermind providing the evidence. I found plenty of correlations between Rood and TWI, including many statements Rood had been ordained as a minister in TWI.
Our argumentative follower of Michael Rood appears to have been misinformed.
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.
12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13 When they finished, James spoke up. Brothers, he said, listen to me. 14 Simon[a] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
16 After this I will return
and rebuild Davids fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things[b]
18 things known from long ago.[c]
19 It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. 32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers. 33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the believers with the blessing of peace to return to those who had sent them. [34] [d] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord.
HMMMmmm...
So do I; whole CHAPTERS.
And you then pontificate on what it 'really' means...
{clip} Genesis 3:1
yes or no?
It’s simple enough.
I guess your friend has left you...
Interesting question. why did you ask it?
Oh; Have I thanked you, and Catholics in general, and your church; too; for taking the block of characters the Scriptures were originally formatted in and breaking them up into chapters and verses?
If not; let me do so now.
It sure is a LOT easier to read and UNDERSTAND this new Roman way.
See there fellas!
E-S can't even get a quote from his leader right; so WHY should we care what he says about Scripture?
My translation is referred to as the MIV or the Marine Infantry Version...
so, the Holy Spirit directly related this passage, including Christ's and the devils very words and described the situation where they occured?
There is no “MIV”
Its just a term he uses to add “Color” to his teachings.
.
Are you doubting Jesus words or the Holy Spirit's ability?
>> It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath <<
.
Not exactly perfectly true to the Greek, but it still gets the complete thought across, yet you easy believers can’t even read that and get their whole message!
Massive mental block!
.
Are you having a mental block with answering my request to define what you mean by "easy believers"? You toss that out like some others here whenever the topic is justification by faith without works. It's used to disparage those who believe what God has said in His word - repeatedly - that we ARE saved by grace through faith and not our works so that NO man may boast. How about it? What is "easy believism" to you?
Easy Believers ignore the scriptures, except for a handful of easily twisted verses from Paul’s epistles.
They are the ones Peter spoke of in 2Peter 3:15-16
Their end result is Matthew 7:23
Can Our Catholic friends please explain why there’s the Islamic Crescent Moon in there symbols?
I knew a very ugly woman who added 'color' to her hair. She believed it made her look better.
I've given VERY good answers in ALL of my replies.
You can look at my history of postings and pick out bits and piece from various postings and come up with a comprehensive dissertation on Atomic Theory that PROOves that Einstien was WRONG!
