Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: [6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
This was in my prior post - you can read I presume?
"not the Gentiles exclusively. Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles" since Paul also taught Jews as well as Gentiles there is no basis for this.
Paul taught a Gentile audience - that was his ministry. How can you be a Christian and not know this. Peter was commissioned to teach the lost tribes of Israel. Neither was forbidden to teach the stray israelite or gentile. That did not make the opposite their charge. Sheesh, I feel like Pete Burke trying to talk sense to Urko.
This is sort of like saying "since I am not having eggs until tomorrow, you could not have had them yesterday." Clearly, the author of Revelations is using this very statement of Peters to create the relationship in the first place, since everyone knows what Peter meant.
Not possible as John was taking dictation. Do you not know the scriptures? Revelation is a dictation of events shown in a vision - not popular creative writing. The linkage came from a vision that occurred 35 years after the writing of Pete's 1st epistle. Pete established nothing. Or were you not aware that it was not until after the writing of revelation that the linkage began showing up in other manuscripts. Your desperation is showing.
Lastly, still waiting on that "dating methology" that proves Paul wrote to Timothy at the same time Peter wrote from "Babylon." I know we are not talking carbon dating here. That would be the last remaining bit of evidence proving your thesis, would it not?
Ah, so now you not only don't know the scriptures, you don't know anything about the history of how the texts were authenticated and dated. For once I find myself chuckling inside wondering where your fellow Catholics are that screem to the heavens about bucking what is undeniable. Did you not get an education on this? Did you not also know that the dates to which I refer are not only widely agreed upon but agreed upon and sealed by your own church. I have to admit one has to go a long way to get a Catholic to question the decisions of their leaders; but, to see one pop forth so readily is heartening. Alas, these things are web published, or are you not also aware of that.
Again. No. Not Scriptural. Wrong. (sigh)
Anyway, my questions to you were:
I tried to keep them simple.
