Yeah. And the lengths they will go to excuse murder, extortion, abuse, cruel behavior, bloodshed, etc.... This is in the pattern of Constantine who ordered the killing of others in the name of Christ. They are children of their father.

I never said Jesus was imperfect. The habitation for His spirit (His flesh) was perfect for what He needed to accomplish in its season. His temporal body aligned with the intent of God: to send His Son to shed His blood for the remission of sin for man. For this, a body of man was required: one...

Except the ones that don't. Some reject God altogether. But I know what you meant.

By the way, and maybe you know this @BartholomewB , but understanding that James presided over the council in Jerusalem, and not Peter, does violence to the Roman tradition of papal supremacy. You will find pages of online debates and explanations that try to square this with Catholic tradition...

Yeah, my ignore list is very short but cv5 is a charter member.

Yeah. What they want to do is install THEIR version of God as the sovereign.

"Once, it lasted so long I was worried my rectum would start gasping for air." Interviewer: "And a weakness...?"

Believers were “called” Christians in Antioch. The word was Only used by Peter and by Luke in Acts. Even then, Luke was recounting the use of ”Christian” in a conversation by an unbeliever. In Roman tradition, followers of philosophers were named after their masters. In the NT, the church are...

The document that established the U.S. begins "We, the people...". On the jump, we are given by whom and for whom the document was commissioned and by whose authority the actions in the document are secured.

You should look at my profile posts. Your refusal to be corrected has no bearing on the spiritual efficacy of your traditions, or lack there of. You sound like most people who separate their lives into "secular" and "spiritual" categories (a tradition of the Roman church) so they might excuse...

Of course God is sovereign over all. But the law of the US declares that the people are sovereign over their country. That's why I began the sentence with "In the US..."

Well, there is precedent in the OT: ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’ However, in...

We see in Acts 15 James presiding over the council in Jerusalem to answer the question about circumcision. The timeline is this: 1. But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.” (Acts...

If I may: in the US the people are the sovereign. They are permitted to choose leaders who represent them. Without support from Evangelicals, Roman Catholics, and many other church congregations, Trump would not be president. More over, they continued to support him even after he was exposed as...

Yeah, maybe he was like "Let me show you what soulsearch is talking about..."

Not in the natural. “In the Lord”. “..and are over you in the Lord and admonish you…”

Right. To my point: you've reckoned yourself still living when you should be dead. The Sinai law bears no weight against the dead.

So how is this verse fulfilled in your life: "Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you." If he never knew you, how can he give an account?

My question is based upon the scripture I quoted: "And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake." How are you to recognize who is over you in the Lord in order to...

I never mislead. "And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake." So, you would only be admonished by someone less mature than you? Please explain.
