Admittedly the authorship of 2 Peter being written by the apostle Peter is questionable.
right.....

I don't feel particularly bound by following the mitzvot. In fact, it is rather freeing and gives me a greater appreciation for God and His grace. Also, I have realized it is much easier to read the Torah now that I look at it as more than "that boring part in the OT with all the laws."

Exactly. Torah isn't "bondage", it's freedom.

1) Yeshua never called Paul an apostle. In fact, I'm prepared to show that He called him a FALSE apostle.

quote]
regardless if you are jewish or Christian or atheist don't say you are prepared to show us something that completely defiles the Christain Bible and Not come through with your statement show me also where Jesus said that paul was a false prophet that is after paul's encounter with Jesus through the Light that came from heaven
:) Amen!

So is Peter a true apostle? Can we trust 2nd Peter 3:14-18? If so, we can trust Paul as an apostle, unless of course you question Peter as an apostle that is a whole other problem.

Why would anyone not like Paul! He was an amazing follower of Christ with an amazing story!...before becomeing a christian I argued with all kinds of things in the bible...but once you realize Jesus is! and is who He says He is, then you naturally trust His word, because it is part of who He is. Why argue with Perfection? we are the flawed ones, anyone who has truely been saved knows just how true that is.

Well.... Just as Peter said.

2 Peter 3
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Untaught and unstable people who twist the Bible do not like Paul.. (According to Peter that is)

Let's not forget, Peter was also a liar who denied Yeshua, and was even called "satan" by Yeshua.

But of course, let's let him be the determining factor on what is Scripture. You guys are looking awesome. Not only can a man be considered Scripture by saying he is, but he can also be confirmed Scripture if a lying, messiah-denying "satan" says so!

G-d is so pleased :p

Um, no. He said that untaught and unstable people twist the Scriptures to their own end. Like when people use Paul to argue for Five-Point Calvinism. Or when they use his prohibitions against female preachers to justify sexism.

These unstable people like Paul's scriptures because it helps them get their way.

Well that is what we were talking about, you consider Paul's writing "Scripture" some people here do not. But in order to deny Paul's letters you have to deny Peter's as well. I agree with you on everything you said though.

So, at the moment Mobius is unable to respond due to being banned while he was eating dinner. He has, however, assured me that he is working on a response for this thread, and will somehow get it posted for y'all to read.

So, do not think Mobius has simple decided not to respond because he doesn't have a legitimate rebuttal for the arguments made against his beliefs. He does. He just can't post it right now.

And Paul was not.
My point was if you agree Peter was an apostle appointed by Yeshua then why can't his writing be trusted?

The Jesus of the bible commissioned 12 apostles one of them Peter and also Paul to continue his work and ministry on earth. Deny them, you deny the Christ of the bible. Your Christ or Yeshuah as you call him, Arel, is nothing more than a fictional character of some idealised hero or example of Judaism and high moral standards.

I never said his writings could be trusted. I'm just saying not ALL writings from those men should be Scripture.

For all we know, in order to promote himself, PAUL could have written the books in which "Peter" allegedly lifts Paul up.
