    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    This is consistent with the key of David: And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Corrupting history to make Christianity look better is apologism, yes. Ehrman is not an apologist, but your post is apologism. Paul having a mystical experience is completely different from Paul actually meeting a physical, historical Jesus. Obviously. I can't believe you're even trying to...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    The onus is not on anyone to disprove your claims, the onus is on you to support them. Your 3) paragraph, Suetonius and the gospels are the same genre??? Did Suetonius write narratives with storied plot lines? Did Suetonius copy most of gMark as did the other gospel writers when writing his...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    How is this apologism? Is Ehrman an apologist because he believes Jesus existed and that Christians were martyred? Is doing history apologism now? 1) Paul met Jesus in a vision. According to Paul, this is good enough because he believes that Jesus is still alive. Whether you believe Jesus is...

    Catholic - Christian (Same or Different)

    What you'ere missing with the above is the Jewish tradition of having major players be shown with having at least one defect of some type, and a Jewish commentary on this is to show that they are fully human and not demigods. Matter of fact, the Apostles in general are shown as being morally...

    Catholic - Christian (Same or Different)

    I would never say clear, or unequivocal. As far as the Scriptures are concerned, there is a focus on Peter more than the others. but for both better and for worse. And, quite evidently, Paul is the dominant Apostle in the book of Acts, and in regard to his contribution to the New Testament...

    Jesus Said "It Is Finished"

    By the word of God -- to gain salvation through works of Law is impossible. It is only by having faith in Jesus Christ can we have a standing with God. There was a problem in the Galatian congregation, Paul knew it. Chapter 2 helps to explain what that situation was. "Yet not even Titus, who was...

    The Idiocy Persists

    :smoke: god exist becaused We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 4:13 KJVA nothing exist without a cause and the cause for nothing to exist is god when theres an instant...

    Paul vs "the law" (can humans earn righteousness?)

    I'm not Paul. Paul was certainly more logically consistent than his predecessors in regards to the zeal of God's creative control- but, had he understood that God's creative zeal is whole and perfect? It's difficult to know. As for humility.. Neither Micah, nor Moses, nor perhaps even Paul...

    Paul vs "the law" (can humans earn righteousness?)

    Only Paul teaches this type of logic. Never mind the fact that it is an important part of the Law for man to know his place and humble himself! If people kept all the Law they wouldn't be boasting anyway. "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do...

    Jesus and Paul's teachings, Is there a difference?

    Paul, the greatest apostle! "Paul's view of himself as an apostle didn't stop at only claiming to be an apostle. He also did what he could to communicate to his followers that he topped them all. He even had the nerve to belittle the very apostles that Yeshua had called and trained for three...

    Why Islam, Christianity and modern Judaism are all apostate religious institutions.

    Still no Romans 9 comments.... No one ever claimed there were 13 Apostles/Disciples (I capitalize these because you probably mean the original 12)? Paul doesn't claim to be one of the original 12, nor a "thirteenth." He says only that he is an apostle. Guess what? I'm an apostle! AHHHGH...

    Why Islam, Christianity and modern Judaism are all apostate religious institutions.

    "Now we know that whatever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that (for this purpose) every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the Law is the knowledge of...

    Why Islam, Christianity and modern Judaism are all apostate religious institutions.

    Before I get to Romans 9, I want to address what you just said about Paul. Paul did claim to be one of the twelve and he even titled most of his letters with the declaration "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ". Funny thing, Jesus ONLY chose twelve to be his apostles…not 13. Paul claims to...

    How Paul wrote the old testament.

    Is not Paul making the same point in all of these translations?

    How Paul wrote the old testament.

    Galatians 2:6 might be a case of needing a linguist added to the translator. In English, "contributed nothing to me" does sound harsh. 6 Moreover, [no new requirements were made] by those who were reputed to be something—though what was their individual position and whether they really were of...

    How Paul wrote the old testament.

    Dear Koli, Paul not only dismissed angels from heaven, but Peter, James and John. Galatians 2:6, "those of reputation contributed nothing to me". Paul should run for the presidency, or at least mayor of New York. A little backing from Satan takes one a long way.

    Jesus exposes Paul as a false apostle

    Paul actually claimed to be greater than the apostles! "Paul's view of himself as an apostle didn't stop at only claiming to be an apostle. He also did what he could to communicate to his followers that he topped them all. He even had the nerve to belittle the very apostles that Yeshua had...

    Paul on Women, Sex and Dress

    I have done no such thing. I was not the one saying he was not an apostle.All I was asking is why should it be that he has to be called it by someone else. I don't think he so much mean that it was his territory, but it made sense if there were to be differences, which there were, Acts 15...

    Paul on Women, Sex and Dress

    You have just painted yourself into a corner my friend. Paul claims to be an actual apostle MANY times. He even goes so far as to claim to be "the most eminent of apostles". "For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles". ...."As the truth of Christ is in me, no...
