Stop taking the NT as a replacement for the OT. You act as if God was just mulling around with the Jews for 100os of years, toying with them. God doesn't think any more of you than me or a Jew. Get off your high spiritual horse.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 23 2008,20:57)Hi KJ,So you would find the loving servant of God an evil man and be scandalised by his ironic comment. What if you read how he thought the ones upsetting the Galatians by demanding circumcision would go further and mutilate themselves!Surely you must be horrified and call in the guards and have him tried…[Read more]

Truthfully, I have nothing against Paul. I'm just lowering him to the same notch of humanity as the rest of us so you'll quit worshiping him.

Gal 5:2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Gal 5:3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. Odd, isn't it?Luk 2:21 And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name…[Read more]

2Co 11:8 I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you;

Php 1:18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, Pretense: The act of pretending; a false appearance or action intended to deceive

I have no assurance that any human being has ever spoken the words of God in all they say.

No, but why would God hate idols for one people but be OK with them for another? Same God, right?

Is Christ in all true Christians? Or did he stop 2000 years ago?

Then we can throw everything out past GoJ? Those where someone else's (Paul, etc) words.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 23 2008,16:22)Hi KJ, I do not think that anyone is totally enlivened by the Spirit at all times because we have been told it is as a wind that blows where it will. But when Paul sat down to write the words we are blessed to read then his pen was guided by the spirit of wisdom from God.And your assurance of this is?
