There are no Pauline scholars of note, whom I am aware of, that would endorse your contention that everything Paul tells us about Jesus came out of his own head from revelations.
We now know with relative certitude, based upon ample textual studies that in Corinthians, Galatians and Philippians...
Thanks for that.
However, I do come across offensive to some.
You may not see that because you don't demonstrate hypocrisy and arrogance.
If you did, you'd be saying something different... like, "nPeace, you are the most obnoxious person I have ever met." ;)
I understand what you are saying...
Let me start by first saying you never come across offensive. :)
I think we have over-applied what I was saying. The context of what I am saying is only in reference to our position of Lazarus as historical vs parable. That is why I said that whoever is wrong won't change our future. Yes...
Denial is not a valid argument.
Here's the verse in the Hebrew scripture which Paul attempts to use for his loophole.
לֹֽא־תָלִין נִבְלָתוֹ עַל־הָעֵץ כִּֽי־קָבוֹר תִּקְבְּרֶנּוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּֽי־קִלְלַת אֱלֹהִים תָּלוּי וְלֹא תְטַמֵּא אֶת־אַדְמָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ...
" Galatians3:1 "
The verse " Galatians3:1 "* is not from Yeshua the Israelite Messiah , please. Right?
First kindly quote a verse from Yeshua and the gist of reason/ argument given by him so that the debate/discussion remains within the purview/scope of the same, please, right?
Regards...
Agreed. That is why I said, or I think I said, it would depend on the situation. So I affirmed your point but not 100% since it would depend on the circumstance.
Again, I don't disagree but disagree.
We are not to judge the heart (as you said). But we are suppose to judge the actions. If...
I see, the issue here is contradictions in the bible, there are verses that support your claims and there are verses that support mine, but contradictions are not the answer, contradictory verses are to be solved with verses that unravel or explain contradictions, which would take time, ex...
What you said there is nowhere in the Bible.
Who are the offspring of Abraham biologically, and where exactly in any of the scriptures you quoted, did it say that?
Where exactly in any of the verses you quoted, does it say "all of faith are also the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the...
Of course they are the offspring of Abraham biologically and because of their faith. Jesus is the promised seed but all of faith are also the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise. Those in the OT times with faith also benefit from the promise to Abraham and benefit from the work of...
The canonical gospels are all first century documents (themselves an amalgam of prior written and oral traditions, likely a Q logia source underlying the shared homilectical material in M/L dating from the 30s/40s and a signs gospel/passion narrative from the 50s CE behind the canon Gospel of...
Paul appears have had a bit of an inferiority complex because he was a later convert and 'apostle' who hadn't actually known Jesus personally in life like Peter and James his brother, both of whom he is extremely catty with despite sending the - obligatory - charitable collection to James's...
Tacitus (the early second century Roman historian) in his Annals explicitly states that this 'Christus' (Jesus Christ) was the recipient of the 'supreme penalty' (crucifixion) under Pontius Pilate:
Tacitus on the Christians - Livius
Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the...
Paul's context here is that one isn't a child of God just because he is a Jew, which is the point of Romans. And he makes a good point. Yes, the Jews being among the nations were the reason God's Name was being blasphemed, as they said that they belonged to him, but it seemed as if he wasn't...
I may get to some more but I am so hungry and tried of Paul,
1.
Paul here goes on a diatribe as usual and in context,
Romans 2:17-24,
Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being...
Why do you keep quoting the Bible, Nova? It's not evidence for the existence, nature or desires of God or Jesus. It's only evidence of what is claimed by the authors (and later editors).
Anyone can write a treatise claiming anything. It's existence, publication history or popularity have no...
We read of the sacrifice for sin made for mankind in (Jn 3:16).
We also read of mans response to that Sacrifice.
There are two parts to the gospel.
#1. Gods part (1Cor. 15:1-4)
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according...
New Testament Faith
Christianity is a system of faith, and in that arrangement the individual who is converted to Christ undergoes that change by his personal belief. God's scheme of human redemption makes salvation contingent upon one's response to His plan.
