This entire argument can be refuted by a "so what"?
Polycarp never knew Paul. He was dead five years before he was born. And though he may have met John, and even that is highly dubious, John may have met Paul, but what makes you think that he would have know if anything...
It’s not me doing the refuting. I said, “they (the quotes) refute most scholars with their (the quotes own) words.” As I said, I have no problem following them. You still won’t hear their words let alone see their correct.
That’s guessing and assuming. Yes, there is evidence Polycarp knew...
This discussion is very relevant to the OP because the Gospel of grace as preached by Paul does not require the spiritual body of Christ to follow the weekly Jewish sabbath!
Galatians 2:11-16 is Paul's rebuke of Peter, and Galatians 2:17-21 is about free justification. In verse 19, Paul is not...
Where I believe your post falls down is that it does not mean what you are saying it means. Why do I say this?
The GREEK words used for law nomos and other words such as etole are in general reference to the law as is the Hebrew word Torah but it does not determine what laws are being...

... It was not considered on par by the Jews themselves. They did not include it. Why did Jesus never rebuke them for not...
The Bible sets forth the fact that God is working out a two-fold plan and purpose for the salvation of those whom He sent His Son Jesus Christ unto the cross and to those whom He sent the prophets of old and His oracles in the Old Testament [The Law, Prophets, Writings].
Israel was that first...

So what you're basically doing, is trying to prove that Jesus is not God. Why? This can't be proved. Or if you think the contrary, please do, try to explain why Jesus was not God. Why Paul didn't really see a resurrected Jesus, and change completely. And if you doubt that he saw Jesus and was...
