Are you kidding. Read the history of the book of revelations. Rev 1.1 3.14 have never been modified and yourbtheory fails on historical, written word, common sense and you make God in your own image cause that is what you were taught.
Also. I have not found but researched much any denomination that has not added the traditions of man (and always the ones in power) to the gospel. You see with the tree of good and evil you can't get absolute truth. It has been that way since we before we left the garden.
Jesus gave man's...
Wow the traditions of men. I believe in the word as faith come by hearing.
Let's see. Just like in Jesus day. The traditions of men were by the early 300s was to kill all those that didn't believe the churches line and don't try to understand it or read it or translate it came we will brand...
Now on to semi logic
Can we as the created tell the creator what He can do.
How easy would it have been for deity to come down and raise himself??
But for a created being. Much harder. Now in John 12 49.50 Jesus state he only says what he is told to say. And in john 10.17-18
And Jesus...
Next if you believe the scriptures (the actual words). Let's start with rom 3.4. Let God be true and every man a liar.. Then onto James 1.13 God can't be tempted with evil. Now on to matt 4.1-4. Jesus was tempted by satan.
So as I stated. Believe the written word above mans tradition...
I also am not a fan of creeds. Especially taken in the historic context if this one.
The wolves were already in the flock during the apostolic age. So with that we are to assume that some how man got it back together 260yrs later. Plus the out and out putting man's word above the word in tje...
John 1.1 in the beginning. Rev 1.1. Jesus' own words state that rev was given by him to John. Rev 3.14 Jesus again stated that he wes the first creation of God. Again in Isaiah 45.11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker
And the word was with God. Asked ref above
And...
So. Let me understand. Jesus lied in rev 3.14
Again in John 12.50. Yes Jesus/jehovah. God of the old Testament state he had a maker in Isaiah 45.11
Again Jesus lied again in John 20.21 and John 20.17
Sorry but I think you only believe what your pastors have taught you your whole life.
I...
We either believe in our Saviors word or the Bible is a farce. Look into how rev became Canon. There were no changes to rev 1.1 or rev 3.14
Therefore I trust the words of Jesus over man's theology
I agree. The traditions of men keep Christianity from Eph 4.11-14 and on.
Christian. How did you get to the point that you believe men over the words you say are infallible
we are looping on each others email. I see the email you just sent but it has not posted on this site yet
Luke 20-14-16: I can hope it does not, but with that said I believe you are right as the protectors of our faith have not done that good of job.
Ariunism was the first heresy: Think...
I respectfully disagree. Again: Please look into the history of the book of revelations: how, when and what is whole and what had to be put together from separate sources to make whole.
I have to believe in the books as written because if I believe in a theologians work above the Bible then...
