TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT

I thought I explained it. I can copy and paste my own words if you'd like . . . but that seems rather elementary.

Edit - But now that I see that you've given me a "red X" only to then ask me to explain; I refuse to do so.

I find it impossible that the Holy Spirit would guide and teach the Apostles to in fact, guide and teach Gentiles and Jews alike to follow the Law of Moses.

Acts 15:29 NLT - "You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell."

And then we see the correction in 1 Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 8:10 NLT - "For if others see you--with your "superior knowledge"--eating in the temple of an idol, won't they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?"

The Acts 15 quite cannot possibly be correct, for the idea is corrected in 1 Corinthians.

Hey, I could always be wrong . . . I am always open to that possibility and fact.

Well, no . . . I'm not dead. In fact, I've been made alive by the Circumcision of Christ. See Colossians 2:9-15.

he's been snarking at people since he got here...calling someone stiff necked, saying shame on you to someone else, doesn't need to think about sin or confess sin, blah blah blah

and now we know we don't have to take the Bible all that seriously cause it's a bunch of opinions, and of course the all caps thingie

I predict this behavior will grate sooner rather than later the usual boring person who tries to become the forum bully but wants respect

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

YEA, SHOW ME WHERE WE ARE COMMANDED TO CONFESS OUR SINS AFTER WE HAVE BEEN SAVED. AFTER. AFTER, YOU GUYS ARE CONFUSED. AND WHEN ITS SHOWN TO YOU, YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN. THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED STIFF NECKED.

Really? The two accounts of Potters field and who purchased is totally, TOTALLY different.

And I agree with what else you've said regarding those disagreements. How can we say that the Bible is infallible if the Apostles couldn't agree?! LOL - It's crazy! And how about the fact that the early Apostles were literally teaching new "believers" to follow the Law of Moses? That . . . is just insane, considering that Jesus (the Nazarene which means to Set Apart) sets us apart (free) from the Law? Jews are no longer to follow the Law, and Gentiles no longer follow the Moral Law that has been written upon the hearts of all people (including Jeffrey Dahmer, Gary Ridgeway, and Adolf Hitler). Jesus sets us apart from these Laws, yet as mentioned, the Apostles were trying to figure things out themselves, and actually taught people to follow it . . . just unbelievable. Of course, I don't think that most even understand these things, because most don't read their Bibles and when they do, they don't try to even understand it.

Just because different writers present different aspects of the same event does not mean that there was an error or a mistranslation. So since you brought this up why don't we try to harmonize the accounts.

1. In Matthew we read that Judas cast down the thirty pieces of silver in the temple and went and hanged himself (with no further comment). The chief priests refused to take the money back but purchased the potter's field with it, so that "strangers" (presumably non-Jews) could be buried there (similar to Boot Hill for outlaws in the Wild West). And because it was blood money, the field was called Akeldama (the Field of Blood) in Aramaic.

2. Mark simply states that Judas went to chief priests to betray Christ.

3. Luke says that Judas went to the chief priests and captains, and they covenanted to give him money.

4. John says that the devil put it into the heart of Judas to betray Christ. So after Christ fed Judas a morsel, Satan entered into him, and Christ sent him on his way to do what he planned to do. (Jesus knew all this in advance).

5. In Acts Peter said that it was Judas who purchased the field. But that would simply be because the money belonged to Judas. However Peter also said that Judas fell headlong and burst asunder in the midst of the field, and his intestines gushed out. Therefore we must conclude that after Akeldama was purchased, Judas heard about it, went to visit it, hanged himself in that field (presumably from a tree standing there), and when he died he fell to the earth and his abdomen was injured very seriously (perhaps impaled by a sharp rock).

how do you suggest we change others' lives? what can we use if we do not have an infallible NT?

If Jesus himself told you that you ought to do something would you argue with him or just do it?

Well the stories may not entirely be incompatible, I know it is a stretch [no pun] but he may well have tried to hang himself and failed and falling headlong burst asunder.

They become ingrained in their thinking. I think it is a result of their personality, a lot of insecurities

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

you lost me here

“PEOPLE OFTEN LOVE TO QUOTE "JUDGE NOT AND YE SHALL NOT BE JUDGED" AS JESUS TELLING US NOT TO JUDGE. NOT TRUE.”

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:35‬ ‭

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s not going to change from Jesus jidgement he is the only way to believe the gospel things like the first example I could t get past in your post sorry I meant to read the whole thing but saw where it was leading

“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:48-50‬ ‭KJV‬‬

To accept Christs word is life to learn to forgive others , not condemn sinners like the Pharisees continually did , but to embrace them , love them , forgive them and teach them about repentance and his eternal Kingdom , like Jesus continually did

It’s not a good idea to reject Jesus authority and judgement

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭

@Hakawaka re: your Post #48 (about the two thieves)...

Consider the following post:

Post #98,744 - https://christianchat.com/threads/not-by-works.146296/post-3912493

--AND...from other poster's article, in the post immediately above mine there (at link):
[quoting from article] "Thus we see that once again our difficulty in figuring out a “contradiction in Scripture” comes about by assuming that two similar things are the same." ; His article says pretty much what I was trying to explain in brief, in my post. = )

Follow the bread crumbs....the proof text of the whole bible is the Holy Spirit.
There is homework to be done saints... homework 😜😜😜😜

Actually the word says it in a few places bro

if we confess our sins. We are believers

we are also told to confess our sins to others that we may be healed.

Peter had a vision.
Peter begins to live and eat like the Gentiles.
A group of Jews show up sent from James, and suddenly Peter becomes a hypocrite and sins towards his Gentile Brothers/Sisters in Christ.
Paul confronts Peter in Antioch concerning Peter's sin.


Now we know for a fact that Peter is [Saved] through Christ and full of the Holy Spirit.
But we see that Peter commits a sin that caused division between the Gentile Believers and Jewish Believers.
Then Paul [Rebukes] Peter for committing this sin.


I am willing to bet Peter sought forgiveness after Paul pointed out this sin.
Otherwise, why would Paul point out Peter's sin if there was no need to make it right?
Clearly, there was a need to make it Right.
Clearly, Peter sinned and his sin became a public Rebuke by Peter.


I believe had Peter sinned and then asked for forgiveness to those he sinned to, Paul would not had Rebuked him.

The moral of this story by Paul in Galatians is sinning after we've accepted Christ, been filled with the Holy Spirit, is still a sin and we are held accountable for that sin. Therefore, Forgiveness of that sin is necessary!

This is a very interesting statement. Are you able, within a matter of a few sentences, tell us what you mean?

I find it impossible that the Holy Spirit would guide and teach the Apostles to in fact, guide and teach Gentiles and Jews alike to follow the Law of Moses.

Acts 15:29 NLT - "You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell."

And then we see the correction in 1 Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 8:10 NLT - "For if others see you--with your "superior knowledge"--eating in the temple of an idol, won't they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?"

The Acts 15 quite cannot possibly be correct, for the idea is corrected in 1 Corinthians.

Hey, I could always be wrong . . . I am always open to that possibility and fact.
