Do differences in practices of faith mean we follow the same Jesus Christ? (reject, gospel)

Gee whiz. See upper left hand corner of member's post and use the appropriate term. If you're doing this on purpose, it's infantile and completely destroys any credibility you make think you have that would give weight to any rhetorical devise that you're trying to exploit.

My apologies!

I am at work. The RF window is usually minimized to about half my computer monitor, which usually hides the upper right hand corner of post. Especially when i type in my responses.

I will try to take the time to check. thank you!

What is a synonym for LAST? you can only get out of this if you have your own dictionary sir.

1 Cor 4:6

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Paul explicitly said "do not think of men aobve that which is written"

Paul also wrote to the Galatians:

Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

So, will this mean there are other references to the Gospel of Christ? remember, ""do not think of men aobve that which is written."



He referred to the Prophets he sent, those prophets who were consistent to his righteousness.

Keep in mind the Apostle's ( LASTapostles) warning

1. Matthew 7:15
   Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2. Matthew 24:11
   And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
3. Matthew 24:24
   For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
4. Mark 13:22
   For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
5. Luke 6:26
   Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
6. 2 Peter 2:1
   But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
7. 1 John 4:1
   Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

How can we be guided then? how do we know whats true or false?


1 Cor 4:6

Okey dokey, I don't have time to ask this question in pictures so please try to read slowly.

Besides the fact that your color choice is obnoxious, you still have failed to address my point. I find it hilarious that people think they get to throw out random scripture and expect others to accept their interpretation of the scriptures.

HOW DOES ANYTHING YOU HAVE SAID SHOW THAT THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHERE THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF CHRIST CAN BE FOUND?

Even if I pretend that your fanciful interpretation of some out of context verses while ignoring other contradictory scriptures is correct, it still only would be saying that we should accept the written word over the spoken word.

YOUR ARGUMENT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE BIBLE BEING THE ONLY SOURCE... (which was the question if you have forgotten)

I didnt know i had to explain everyhing word for word sir.

The apostles lived with Christ, Paul was brought up to the third heavens. Paul said they were the LAST.

The Last. no one will teach Christ teachings after them. that is why LAST mean LAST.

so, how will Christ's teachings continue for the next generations? Paul said "do not think of men above that which is written"


now, if they were the last, and they instructed to keep to what is written. will there be other sources?

If there were other sources, then the apostles wouldnn't have been the last and the keep to that which is written instruction will be put to naught.


Now, to further reinforce my point, i included the apostles warnings of false Christs and prophets. meaning, it proves why the apostles were last and why the christians were instructed to keep to what is written.

I did not forget to answer your question, you just failed to comprehend.
Please take note, i did not interpret anything.

Last means last, in any dictionary. and the statement "do not think of men above that which is written" is pretty simple. it can never be "SANELY" interpretted to mean that we should refer to other writings.

ok, how would you interpret the "the apostles were sent last" to mean that there were apostles who came next??

and how would you interpret " keep to what is written " to mean refer to other writings? do you need to be highly intelligent to "comprehend" that?

You will have to explain your nonsensical gibberish...

The apostles lived with Christ, Paul was brought up to the third heavens. Paul said they were the LAST.

No, Paul said he *thought* they were sent to *them* last and no matter what way you would like to take that verse, it doesn't address my question so I am a little confused as to why you keep harping on it. All I can figure is that you don't have an answer and you don't know what else to say.

The Last. no one will teach Christ teachings after them. that is why LAST mean LAST.

so, how will Christ's teachings continue for the next generations? Paul said "do not think of men above that which is written"

This is your fanciful interpretation. It says nothing like that AND more importantly, EVEN IF IT DID, it doesn't address my question.

now, if they were the last, and they instructed to keep to what is written. will there be other sources?

I don't see any reason why your fanciful interpretation of scriptures would preclude other sources. That is kind of the point...

If there were other sources, then the apostles wouldnn't have been the last and the keep to that which is written instruction will be put to naught.

Uh, wrong. Your conclusions don't follow your premises.

Now, to further reinforce my point, i included the apostles warnings of false Christs and prophets. meaning, it proves why the apostles were last and why the christians were instructed to keep to what is written.

Sorry, there have always been false prophets, the existence of such has nothing whatever to do with whether or not there are other sources of scripture. If you think it does mean that, you will have to show why rather than simply assert it.

I did not forget to answer your question, you just failed to comprehend.
Please take note, i did not interpret anything.

tee hee. you are so uh... original...

Your entire argument is silly interpretation followed by non-sequiters. Nothing you have provided says anything about OTHER SOURCES. The only connection between the scriptures and the question are in your head.

Last means last, in any dictionary. and the statement "do not think of men above that which is written" is pretty simple. it can never be "SANELY" interpretted to mean that we should refer to other writings.

LOL. At the time that statement was made, the majority of the NEW TESTAMENT WAS NOT WRITTEN... That means by your fanciful interpretation, the NT is not to be trusted as it is OTHER writings...

All it says is that apostles were sent after Christ. It doesn't say there was an end to Apostles. That would be where your fanciful interpretation comes in.

"keep to what is written" means to trust the written scripture over the spoken word. AS I HAVE SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES ALREADY, IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT OTHER WRITINGS AT ALL, JUST THINGS THAT AREN'T WRITTEN.
