Why not just agree in through the bones not into them



Like looking through the curtains (where they part or something).

That way no one makes the other an offender for a word and all is good

Sure, I hope. Afterall his hands consist of skin, muscle and bones (together) and nails went in through the same which would mean as through the bones that make up the hands, but wouldnt necessarily have to mean into a bone but rather through the bones (almost as if in between them). So maybe I dont understand a problem with saying through the bones so much as long as they are not broken.

Because that is not what was expressly said, and if you were following, you would know that, and if you were not, then I can only see your interference as a means to help Jason avoid taking responsibility for his repeated false accusations. Instead of giving him a loophole, you should be encouraging him to be honest. I know I have unrealistic expectations of people. Sorry!

and do you understand anatomy? its not possible that the nails didn't go through His bones.
Yes, the foot has more than a hundred bones in it. That does not mean any of them were pierced by a nail. Even if a nail DID pierce Jesus' bone/s without breaking any, you are STILL adding to Scripture to insist it was so. For some strange reason, I would have thought it would be easier for you to admit when you were wrong. Serves me right for thinking that, eh? Should I just say the most offensive things I can think of under the circumstances and then say I apologize if you are offended? Actually to match what you did I would have to falsely accuse you repeatedly also. Well, maybe next time. I'm not feeling up to it right now :p Oh, and if you ever figure out which "group" I belong to, please let me know! A few others would like to pigeonhole me as well.

The few times the Lord did tell of His death and resurrection the disciples walked away not knowing what He was talking about. As a matter of fact, Peter rebuked the Lord on one occasion for speaking such words. The Gospel in it's entirety and the doctrine for the church can be found in Paul's 13 epistles.[/QU

WOW I missed this one earlier, so you are clearly saying then that the 4 gospels aren't even necessary correct? your saying Jesus and all of His own words are not necessary WOW. IF THAT DOESNT SHOW AS FALSE someone will never ever see the doctrine as it is. thanx for this one. and my response to this is that. you will FIND NO salvation without Jesus and all of His words. you could completely elinate all of pauls writings from the new testament and still have everything you need for salvation. so basically its like I knew already, you guys really are followers of paul and NOT Jesus. okay well that confiems why I have no more need to discuss with ANY person who takes that stance.

I myself, am a follower of the gospel. the one paul was telling you to obey. thanks that just cleared up everything. This comment you left is absolute proof that there is no medium between this doctrine and The 4 gospels bless ya still. my belief is the exact opposite paul is NOT the authority in the Church, Jesus is, was and will forever Be.

Heres how I was following him

Listen. Jesus already did enough for us don't you think? He was rejected, falsely accused, SPIT on, beaten repeatedly, mocked, made a spectacle of, spit on again, insulted, whipped, drug our cross up a hill, where He willingly accepted the nails driven through the bones in His hands and feet, was lifted as a spectacle for onlookers, mocked and insulted again, where He forgave us, and slowly died over 6 hours of agony. that's enough, Hes done enogh of our work, He didn't stop there tho. He went and crushed death and hades, took the keys to eternal Life and rose again, all to make us new and clean, forgiven By the Lord justified, born again children. that's where grace ends friend, and who among men is going to complain and say He didn't do enough??? that doctrine is insulting to me. anyone who denys Jesus or His words, insult me deeply. I see its deception oi see people fall into it and who its from.


time for the believers to Choose Jesus.
didn't say there were bones broken, I said there were nails driven through the bones in his hands and feet. do you know how many bones are in the feet? they didn't break your correct. they were pierced tho by our nails
Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:they pierced my hands and my feet.

ahhhh........ wasn't really quoting scripture magenta was I? and do you understand anatomy? its not possible that the nails didn't go through His bones. either the heel bone wich was most common in those days for a crucified victim. and actualy YOU added that I had said they were broken, I didn't, I said the nails went through them lol is this what you feel as if you can nail me with hahaha. God bless you. peace and good will.

might wanna pull up a quote of me saying his bones were broken if that's your accusation :) you added to what I said. you imagined it :)) no hard feeling tho.

haha no magenta do this, go do research on a crucified victim in jesus day and see where the nails went. that's just another accusation that has zero basis, find where I said His bones were broken, and youll HAVE ME....wait wait....behind you,,,theres a Mormon....lets get him!!!!

just kiddn, peace magenta, you have no ground to stand on here. in the first place, I wasn't quoting anything from Isaiah 53, I was ranting about what Jesus did for us because of Gods grace. and in the second place, I did not say what you are saying I said...wait!!! wait!! a catholic behind you, gimme a torch lets lynch em!!!

hahaha ;) just playin around. its all good if you feel " I'm misquoting scripture" on that you can hold to that false doctrine :p
Thats what I was following, I just said, why not agree on through as through the hands is though skin muscle and bone

You can show objects going through the bones (as in between them) since there are more then just one and the spaces between allow for the wording.


Why not just agree in through the bones not into them



Like looking through the curtains (where they part or something).

That way no one makes the other an offender for a word and all is good
And again I said


Sure, I hope. Afterall his hands consist of skin, muscle and bones (together) and nails went in through the same which would mean as through the bones that make up the hands, but wouldnt necessarily have to mean into a bone but rather through the bones (almost as if in between them). So maybe I dont understand a problem with saying through the bones so much as long as they are not broken.
I thought I was following along,

I falsely accused you ? and said all the mean things I could think of and then apologized to you repeatedly? wow I don't remember all that magenta. I think I misquoted what u said. I said your quote was "i was misquoting scripture" and you actually said " I was adding to scripture" and then I looked back and apologized once and then again later I said I submitted......is that what you are referring to?

And honestly, I wasn't "wrong" to begin with, I was never quoting any scripture and never said His bones were broken. I honestly never even understood what you were doing with that whole thing. obviously I wasn't quoting scripture. I was making a point of what Jesus had done for us already. just talking. and the nails DID go through His bones most likely, through the heels according to common roman practices of crucifixion. it doesn't mean I was saying any bones broke, and also again, I wasn't quoting scripture anyways. by your thinking, every day nearly every person who is talking about Jesus in thoier own words would be adding or taking from scripture unless they were quoting the bible each comment.

why is this suchan issue for you and how did I falsely accuse you and say mean things to you? I was trying to joke with you about lets get the catholics n stuff. I am sorry, I think maybe there was some sort of mistake there. if you want me to say the nails didn't touch the bone, okay, I'm wrong the nails went only through the flesh.

okay?

Didn't say you were. In fact, I quoted Scripture.


Nope, that is a false accusation. I would appreciate if you retracted it.

You need to pull up this non existent quote. I said no such thing, so it is in fact you adding to what I said as well as adding to what Scripture said. You might want to get a handle on that. Just a friendly suggestion.
this is your next response, which is what I apologized for I had thought you said "i misquoted scripture." you said " I was adding to scripture" which honestly I kinda think is basically the same, but still corrected in the following comment.... and it all began with me Not quoting scripture at all, because I said He had nails driven through the bones in His hands and feet for us."

to which your reply was I was adding to scripture and His bones weren't broken. I honestly still do not see your original point or why this is a big deal to you. it seems like you just wanted me to say I'm wrong??? is that the thing ? If I had said " isaih 53:5 says " he had nails driven through his bones , breaking them" you would have a good point that I was adding to scripture.

do you at all see that the comment made was not scripture to begin with but a way to say He was nailed to the cross, and I never said that His bones were broken anyways? I see how things escalated for you, but I honestly didn't realize until this last comment you made how I insulted you and said all the mean hurtful things and then repeatedly apologized to you. and wanted to pidgeon hole you. but listen, sincerely, whatever I said to you that caused this I fully take the blame and was very wrong to hurt your feelings. honestly and sincerely. I'm sorry magents, hope you forgive and forget. I'm gonna forget now and let it go. and just so you understand sincerely sorry to upset ya. I was wrong about it all. God bless you

ahhh here is where it went wrong huh? yeah okay. I'm assuming from anatomy and the roman practice of crucifixion through the heel bone. so I'm sorry magenta, didn't mean to imply something about bones being broken. God bless.

1 Corinthians 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 Corintians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ

1 Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I ofApollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

There’s should be no dividing line TO REAL CHRISTIANS, while others say they follow Paul’s teaching or of Peter, James or John. They are the same being taught by the Lord. They were ministers given by the Lord to every man to be saved by grace through faith. Now if we want to follow Christ but No to Paul, then we are in disagreement to what the scriptures sayeth. Paul was taught by Christ and he follows him. Paul’s beg the Corinth believers, “be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” so if none in the Corinth obeys him, they are not obeying Christ. Likewise, one cannot say he obeys Christ but not obeying what Paul says of Christ and the wonderful, amazing grace.

The truth is Christ. He is the truth, thus his words are true and because He is the truth and his words are true, His teaching is of truth. Christ is the personification of the truth, the scriptures are the written truths while the Holy Spirit is guiding us to the truth. We have to remember always that

Romans 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Romans 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I'm absolutely OPPOSED in full to anyone who thinks that Paul has even a tiny bit of authority over Jesus words. absolutely in perfect opposition. and you've like a lot do not heard me. I understand paul, He is not opposed to Jesus, Hes enabling sinners to be righteous by and only by revealing what the atonement meant. WHAT I AM saying is this, all Christians every single CHRISTian is called to folloe JESUS and the gospel. paul didn't =create a new gospel, and the death and resurrection is not the whole gospel at ALL. The gospel is also and much more the 4 gospel accounts of Jesus birth, life, words, death and resurrection. you are right, there is no difference they were ALL teaching Jesus. I'm not the one who has to omit a single word from paul or any other apostle. WHY? Because Jesus is the Lord, those great men were teaching to obey Jesus. People are lost here big time. they I guess assume these churches paul wrote to weren't established upon the Great commission.

matthew 28:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

THIS is the very foundation of any CHRISTIAN church. a "real
Christian as you put it does one thing, OBEYS JESUS GOSPEL. His teachings or "commands" anyone trying to be saved through paul, or any other apostle will find a terrible end. Jesus is the ONLY salvation. His gospel meaning His words, teachings and commands are what all of these churches, all of these men taught the churches. absolutely they carried that commission out to all nations and established all churches on the ONLY gospel. Paul is a good man, an apostle of Jesus true story, I thank God that I understand what He is saying. no argument hes a good example. He did not ever make up some different gospel. He taught the atonement. Jesus Christ is the only King well have, only savior, only way, only truth only Life to mankind for eternal salvation. period end of story.

actually, peter 1 and 2 has everything that paul taught as well, but even clearer and more to the point. he also taught the grace for salvation, the atonement, rebirth and obedience to Jesus. same as paul, and same as paul he taught that all men will stand berfore God and give an account of their actions. all the same things JESUS taight them to teach, the actual Gospel of Jesus Christ.

look at the chapters before your quote. look how upset paul was at someone saying " I follow paul" he thanks God that he didn't even baptize them so they couldn't say that why???was paul crucified for you? were you baptized in pauls name?? no that upset paul dearly because CHRISTIANS FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST.




10I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[SUP]a[/SUP] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[SUP]b[/SUP] ”; still another, “I follow Christ.”
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

we aren't saved by the apostles at all, they are servants of the only one who saves that's it, all they were doing was carrying the Gospel to the nations, the onlt=y gospel is Jesus and His words. peoplecan choose to lord paul over Jesus, trust pauls words but their mistaken badly. those few letters came after all the gospel was established that's why you see the references to " now you have obeyed the truth" or by obeying the gospel" by following paul as the authority of scripture it is absolutely OMITTING the only one who has the gospel, which is Jesus words.


so yep, anyone who is following paul, is opposed to me in every way. because to follow an imagined doctrine that they think paul made up and changed at all, when all he was doing was describing the atonement and sharing Jesus teachings the same things different words, by doing that they come up with a doctrine that OMITS the only salvation. so yeah, pauls NOT the authority in scripture, that is One name, One word Jesus. so if you must differ, differ and keep your peace, I'm not EVER moving from the Lord and King and everything elose. people will get there to Jesus eventually so long as they don't omit Him lol


Good nite imna get back to work. see the difference in this here is this, if your following Jesus, pauls things are already in you. and you don't have to try to follow paul, BUT if they are omitting JESUS to follow paul......THAT is my issue. I love paul, but I follow JESUS only. those men are good and worth repsect and honor they are far and miles above me, as you, and any other believer is above me. BUT I will never EVER not FOLLOW Jesus words. a person can study 1 and 2 peter n depth and have all the knowledge of pauls many epistles. condensed. I love paul don't get me wrong began reading Him in my early teens, love His writing learned of the atonement through Him. but never ever would I have taken him as an authority over Jesus or thought paul meant to not take Jesus words as the TRUTH and only gospel.


sorry, I'm passionate about Jesus and this subject and this doctrine that omits Jesus words in favor of Pauls. this is just a rant not aimed at you I love your comment actually especially the end part God bless. but any human who is OMITTING Jesus in favor of any apostles words is mistaken. the only authority, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine is found in matthew mark Luke and John. Jesus words. I was meaning a person "could" remove pauls writings and still find all he said in peter and james and john easily, actually just peter pretty much covers pauls writings really. but id never omit paul I love him and every w0rd he said is true, its just reeeellly misunderstood to think it somehow takes precedence over Jesus words, that's a huge blunder on anyones part. Night and God bless

Did the Master give you a talent of gold?

Our faith, given by God, is likened to gold so refined, so pure that one may gaze into it. Do not bury your faith in the dirt.


Mat 25:24
And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

Mat 25:25
and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.

Mat 25:26
But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;

Mat 25:27
thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.

Mat 25:28
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.


Mat 25:29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

Listen. Jesus already did enough for us don't you think? He was rejected, falsely accused, SPIT on, beaten repeatedly, mocked, made a spectacle of, spit on again, insulted, whipped, drug our cross up a hill, where He willingly accepted the nails driven through the bones in His hands and feet, was lifted as a spectacle for onlookers, mocked and insulted again, where He forgave us, and slowly died over 6 hours of agony. that's enough, Hes done enogh of our work, He didn't stop there tho. He went and crushed death and hades, took the keys to eternal Life and rose again, all to make us new and clean, forgiven By the Lord justified, born again children. that's where grace ends friend, and who among men is going to complain and say He didn't do enough??? that doctrine is insulting to me. anyone who denys Jesus or His words, insult me deeply. I see its deception oi see people fall into it and who its from.

time for the believers to Choose Jesus.


I honestly wouldn't have picked on this first post, I can actually agree with the above in the same way it might be figured to agree in the following


Phil 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:
they
pierced my hands and my feet.

Although, it was after Jesus was found dead (even after his hands and feet had already been pierced)
when these two come in.

John 19:33
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs:

Breaking the bones in their legs would hasten ones death, and that was unnecessary in this case

John 19:34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and forthwith came there out blood and water.

John 19:36
For these things were done,
that the scripture should be fulfilled,

A bone of him shall not be broken.

John 19:37
And again another scripture saith,

They shall look on him whom they pierced.

No problem with you using "through" (if by that you mean "pierced") as it pertains to his hands and feet and for sake of argument I suppose you could use the achillis heel part of the foot, no?

You can pierce that through I believe without needing to mention bone, I would think, this guy did it




Not sure whether this kind of example could be used in that manner of crucifiction or not, I would let someone else battle the details on the bone issue.

The last thread I posted on was "God Lied", this was a grace thread. My last paragraph was:

I am tired and frustrated by all this, I need to build up and be built up not knock down and suffer the same. I have mentioned in a few posts that the 'Ten commandments' in Christ turn about to ten promises, commandments are hard and unforgiving, promises are soft and Weald comfort. Instead of "Thou shalt not . . . " we get, "In Jesus you wont want to . . " The Lord showed me this a long time ago and it has stuck with me. I want us all to be on the same page here for Jesus sake, and ours.
As I was reading this thread I became aware of the tiredness flowing away. I felt drained after the last post, as I read this one I was filled up and Praised God in the Spirit, in My spirit. As I read further, I felt built up because I was being built up and not knocked down as I had been. I always regard my quiet reading time in the morning as my breakfast, then I feast with toast or egg or other.

WOW this morning I have feasted on the finest of meats, I have drunk from the fountain of life I have eaten and drunk of the best and been refreshed to my innermost marrow (if I can be permitted to say this) and all the while was prompted by the Holy Spirit to think of a friend I had stared to miss dearly, although he hasn't been gone long he has been in my thoughts and prayers constantly, well nearly constantly, well quite often as with anyone we love.

Then magenta said a name and my heart jumped and I could not contain my excitement until I had looked at a profile. I still cant contain myself, but Welcome back Bro, I have missed you sorely even though Just a short absence. Thank you for building me up and for the feast you provided. I praise God for you and thank Jesus for your faithfulness. (jj)

If a nail went through a bone, the bone would have broken, most likely shattered.

And scripture and prophesy has been proven to be a lie.

Well i cant tell you bro how important that comment you left eas to my heart. I havr been wearied of this argument so deeply since that last comment. Was drawn back in hopes of some comfort and as he always does God answered that need in me with your kind and loving words. Sincerely thank the lord for what u just wrote. And for you yourself alomg with a couple others are the only reason i am on here. The new name i like follow jesud lol thats better than my own name i feel

I do wish i wasnt so quick to argue doctrine with the same grpup it always wears my jpy down. Yet it just is npt in me to accept omission of jesus. He is truly everything i know. Have.love.want.hope in.trust.my every breath is his word of life that is spoken over me for comfort.peace. and strength to step. This doesnt mean im not in error in some of this nonsense arguing. But bro i cannot be anything but who i am. I forgot whp i was years back and all i jave left is Jesus. The love of my life. The one who has made me to beat to only his drum. Only bow to his name. He is my life and i know nthing else. I habe truly forsaken all things for him. I just think i need to fellowship with golks i dont have doctrine issues with for a bit. Bros n sis like yall folks. Thank you for yje lift. I knoe it came from yhe spirt
