@smashbaals Hogwash! Sexist? Misogynist? He has 10 women leaders listed in Ro 16. Racist? Isn’t Paul literally the apostle to the Gentiles?

@Methodios007 You mean can I go back to the original autographs and validate from the hand writing that it was the apostle himself? Obviously I cannot do that. All the books of the New Testament identify the author except for Hebrews, and 1 and 3 Joh...

@Methodios007 I don't think you will accept any answer. You have your belief and

@Methodios007 I showed you problematic things from other gospels showing how clearly they are not scripture. The earliest church in the time of the apostles who were also alive at the time that the events occurred knew which were the true apostolic w...

@Methodios007 Or how about the Apostle John? Is there any reason why you defer t

@Methodios007 @smashbaals It’s unnecessary. We all follow Jesus and the apostles

@RichardFinke69 @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii No one should be changing doctrine

@CylonSaysNo @Synaptic_Rabbit @masonmennenga That’s quite convenient that the Roman Catholic leadership gave themselves sole rights to interpreting scripture. In scripture, what do we see? 1. We see the Bereans testing what Paul the apostle said ag...

@CylonSaysNo @Synaptic_Rabbit @masonmennenga Also, the Bible is the final author

@quackitude @TimAAmor That point about swords into plowshares is a specific statement about a specific time. Does Jesus desire Christian’s to start wars? Definitely not. We clearly see Jesus’ response and the apostles’ response to oppression in the f...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV You are elevating 'the saints and church teaching' against the apostles' teaching? If it is consistent with the apostles' teaching in scripture, then it will stand the test and we can examine it against the...

@AmateurOrthoInq @ChadRutter_ @smashbaals The Orthodox appear to be carrying forward the OT priesthood into the New Testament. Was Peter, Paul, James or any of the apostles ever called a priest like that? Any description of them wearing the priestly ...

@sethhezekiah @BaileyJoy9 These so called fathers also disagree with scripture.

@herman_order @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning The only history that is authoritative is the history documented in scripture that matches the teaching of the apostles. Historical context means what was going on in the context of what is being describ...

@sunbrightskills @eorre_ecc Actually, there should be no new doctrines established since what has been laid by Jesus and the apostles is sufficient. If you meant to uphold church doctrine, it would depend on which doctrine as only the fundamentals of...

@springbrease @KaeleyT Thanks for asking. The comment I get from a lot of patriachalists is that their view reflects the view of the church fathers and 2000 years of church history. And they are right (though it doesn't reflect the view of the apostl...

@ZRWJ_ @jtdxn_ Why didn’t the apostles form a crusade against the Romans?

@MikeStalingrad @BeanofChrist @jtdxn_ Show me a single example of where the Apostles interpreted this as taking a place in government. None of them did. And they were all martyred for preaching the gospel, not for trying to enact anti-abortion laws (...

@jtdxn_ @gxp11 @MikeWingerii Or how about “thou shalt not legislate Christianity”? The apostles were politically neutral. Paul says simply to pray for those in authority so that we might be able to lead a tranquil life. "2:1 First of all, then, I ur...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn You took a text out of its context and the improperly applied it to another text. What appears to be driving your interpretation is a disdain for egalitarianism. The equal treatment of women was practiced by th...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn Making disciples means to teach people everything that Jesus taught the apostles and to do it. It doesn’t mean everyone is a bishop or teacher or apostle, but it doesn’t in any way refer to role differences which...

@Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Unlike Jesus, this is how the apostles spoke: "But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, 'Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at u...
