@JamesPelton18 @William_E_Wolfe Will Servant @will_servant corrected me by noting that in John 21:16, Jesus tells Peter to shepherd the church. So we do have an explicit identification.

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi If all He did was show his orehuman existence which is like saying “I am Michael” then why did the Jews who knew their Hebrew Bibles well connect this with equating himself to God? John 8:59;10:33 shows they...

@ymmotrojam @Soteriology101 It appears you're mixing up two different concepts as "testing the spirits." John's discussion focuses on discerning heart attitudes, whereas Jesus addresses testing the spirits. Isn't it the case that Jesus is concerned ...

On the one hand, John has a point because to agree that scripture clearly teaches male only leadership and then to willfully ignore this is clear evidence of rebellion against the Bible. However, I want you to know that this is not what the New Test...

@BiffSport @JJacobs63985241 @WomnOfValor No I didn’t mean that he can’t read 1 Cor 7:1. There are no quotes in the oldest Greek manuscripts. It all has to be inferred from the context. John misses this one completely. Otherwise Paul is contradict...

@WomnOfValor John MacArthur for all his learning has no idea that Paul since chapter 7 has been responding to things that the Corinthians wrote in their letter to him. He quotes them and then refutes them: “What? came the word of God out from you[m...

@Ken_FiveSolas @megbasham John MacArthur completely misinterprets 1 Cor 14:34-35 as he doesn’t recognize that Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote to him (see 1 Cor 7:1). Paul quotes and then refutes them: "What? came the word of Go...
