Think about deeper context. Go below the surface.

Yeah that's the better way.. straight from scripture itself! Thank you.

From the article: https://godsbreath.net/2011/04/28/reject-paul-but-accept-jesus/ 'By rejecting Paul’s writings, one would have to dismiss the Gospel of Luke since Luke was with Paul and agreed with Paul (Acts 16:10). Paul quoted Luke’s Gospel as Scripture (1 Tim 5:18; cf. Luke 10:7; 2 Tim...

Yes COC goes way off on salvation and baptism. But this article itself is mostly right on biblically

You don't understand biblical analysis..I'll agree to disagree.

Wait... the teaching of how they are to be corrected remains with the same doctrine from Jesus thru Paul and John. The same admonishments Jesus has fir these churches are what Paul was writing about in different situations. It's the sane teaching! End.

Well, if you go down this road of denying Paul was inspired in some of his writings, you'd be putting your own opinion above the weight of scripture. Some of the greatest scholarly minds agree Paul's writings in total are inspired. It's true the bible does also, being true, show men's...

Oldest doesn't mean best. You gotta apply other tests to historical texts. The KJV textus receptus agreed with the majority of over 5000 manuscripts when compared with their findings later unearthed. Even though it was based on not many manuscripts, what those manuscripts had agreed with the...

In regards to the deaconess reference.. not all bible translations call Phoebe a deaconess. The KJV says 'servant'.. and the Greek behind the word is more akin to this than the official role of deacon. Along with this though..if she did actually have a deacons role..she would still be bound by...

It takes a long time for Jesus to become number 1 in every area of your life. It's a whole lifetime journey. So we can't 'make' Him Lord at salvation. Me thinks you are mixing up daily service with salvation here.

Different contexts. Acts pleasing to God as just in His eyes are different to conversion at justification by faith in Christ for getting initially saved. James is mainly writing about THE faith ..what happens after conversion. Paul though writes alot about freedom from the Law thru...

This Acts 2 passage is in a different context to the apostles. But even so.. it was still mostly fulfilled right then with Peter talking about it. It still doesn't support continuationism. The prophesying etc.. was happening right then and there.

https://www.the-highway.com/cessation1_Warfield.html This is all you would need to know about cessation of some of the gifts of the Spirit. I'll leave it there.

Paul gave up pharisical teaching big time in his conversion. That's his testimony. Going from Judaism to being a christian. He fully understood being saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Romans is a great book for this. He knew freedom from the OT law. How was he going back to past...
