That interpretation would BE the slippery slope. Paul was correct. Peter did not defend his actions. There is no view from Peter to discuss. We can assume that Peter agreed with Paul when confronted. draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who...

This was not a case where Paul and Peter had opposing views. Peter did not articulate a view, he simply drew back and separated himself, there is no mention of a view. When Paul confronted him I am sure he agreed with Paul about it and apologized for his actions and so there never was two...

I think it we can use the theological context rule of interpretation where Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote so much about the equality of the Gentiles and Jews via the cross of Christ. So we conclude that he is correct in all such passages including this one. Peter did not write anything...

So you really think that Paul was wrong here and that Peter was innocent of these charges? Then you can't believe anything else Paul said. This is some pretty weird stuff here you are coming out with. 11When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned...

Yes, the text is very clear. @Runningman, I am shocked. Are you really saying Paul was wrong here and that Peter was innocent of these charges? I just don't believe you really believe that. It's way too bizarre. You can't possibly believe it in your heart. You must be just saying stuff...

It's great. We never worry about what we look like. We don't even own mirrors. We don't have to carry 20 lbs of useless stuff we never use in a purse every time we leave the house. We never cry when someone criticizes us at work, we never feel the need to even talk about it in the middle...

No one has to read a book on hermeneutics in order to be doing it. It comes naturally. Or I should say if one is literate and can read they are already practicing most of the rules of interpretation (which is all that hermeneutics means). It is pretty much impossible to abandon hermeneutics...

I think the number one reason why saved people make mistakes when interpreting scripture is not because the Holy Spirit is not willing to show them the truth, but because they are not following basic rules of interpretation (called hermeneutics). Things like context, what was he talking about...

There might be a disproportionate representation of mentally ill people on this site. That would explain the bizarre interpretations. Some people might not be able to pass a college entry level reading comprehension skills assessment test and therefore can't use these same common sense skills...

You might want to consider "Ancient Near East Manuscripts" Even if you don't live long enough to complete the degree, it will be a fun journey. :) I might join you.

There is value in knowing about those ancient rabbinical writings. Sometimes there are clues within a bad interpretation that helps scholars confirm details about a good interpretation. And not all their interpretations were wrong. Of course this is the world of the scholar and experts on...

Because the first post asked..."How do Jews interpret, what Christians interpret as Genesis 3:16? " That was my answer. Jews will probably interpret it the same as Christians. However, there is a lot to understand about ancient Jewish rabbinical forms of interpretation of the Old Testament...

The biblical definition of work would depend on the scripture where it is used. The context. In the example you gave it was physical labor. In another scripture like where Paul talked about the works of the Law he was talking about that religious duty, expecting to earn a right standing...

Looks like I was correct. The study you posted proves that mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies more effective than natural immunity in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 and its high affinity variants. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-06629-2 This is a good thing. There is not a hint of...

As a follow up: I mean I know it might require looking up some things to grasp it fully, but if this Summary in the science study was used as an example of a more advanced reading comprehension test paragraph on a college assessment test where you were asked to give your best answer as to...

Doesn't this say that the antibodies produced by your immune system triggered by mRNA vaccines had advantages over antibodies produced by your immune system triggered by infections of COVID alone? Isn't that what it proved? Summary In this study we profiled vaccine-induced polyclonal...

OK I understand. Many AG churches will have corporate prayer time that is not something we teach people how to do, but sort of just happens organically. It's not an AG thing, it is not unique to AG churches. Everyone will be spread across the room in whatever position they prefer, some...

In real life most people don't ask my permission about such things. And I don't go about soliciting uninvited advice about people's personal lives. Most people won't care about my opinion on such things unless they get close enough to know me and feel that I genuinely care about them. This...

Right. I never thought that He was telling them to recite it verbatim. The "how" seems to indicate that he assumed they would pray for each other and would lift up corporate petetions as a church. Praying that the Lord would mold them as a local fellowship as one body doing the will of God...

I am not following you. Luke's abbreviated version is not contradictory. We don't know if Jesus gave these instructions more than once. Since auditory teaching was the mode of scriptural instruction at that time, He probably did. But even without the Lord's prayer example, the book of Acts...
