    Peter and Paul

    Except that Paul's epistles are not the only place where he spoke about such things. He obviously thought of the church as a flock of sheep because: Acts 20:28-29 KJV — Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the...

    A little comedy break....

    I went to a doctor a couple years ago that actually still used one of those things.

    Peter and Paul

    None of which requires that there be different gospels between Peter and Paul; or the angel, for that matter.

    Peter and Paul

    We're not supposed to "worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters"? That's a different gospel???

    Peter and Paul

    Meaning, of course, that you're stumped and the best you can do is assert your preconceptions.

    Peter and Paul

    Didn't know? Or were willfully refusing to hear? Jesus telling them He would die and rise again: Matthew 20:17-19 KJV — And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the...

    No nuttiness for awhile, anyway. Nice to see you posting again, AB. ;)

    Peter and Paul

    Paul to the Gentiles: [Rom 1:17 KJV] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Somebody else (or Paul) to the Hebrews in the New Testament era: [Heb 10:38 KJV] Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw...

    I've given that briefing before.

    Peter and Paul

    What you seem to be saying is that if James, Cephas, or John wrote letters or presented their gospel to Gentiles, then that would make them bald-faced liars, right? And the same standard applies to Paul, that if he wrote letters or presented his gospel to Jews, that would make him a bald-faced...

    Our biological evidence of creation and the seventh day Sabbath

    Me personally? I started my rest when I was 7. It's more of a reminder not to return to works for salvation, like keeping sabbath days.

    Peter and Paul

    Not so clear and unambiguous, if the people Peter wrote to were also written to by Paul, because Paul said: 1 Corinthians 10:32 KJV — Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Indicating that the church was neither Jews nor Gentiles. Galatians 3:28...

    God is one.

    You're using your model to attempt to confirm your definition, but you should be using the definition to support your model, which it doesn't do. Multiple, small, separate seas isn't a unified plurality, unless the water is connected under the land mass, as a sort of water table. Is that what...

    God is one.

    Right, I like the idea, but it's one possible way to explain the scriptures. Like "the seven seas", a term that refers to the connected oceans? "Oceans" isn't used in most English translations of the old testament, because it's a Greek word. But it would fit: Definitions from Oxford...

    God is one.

    How about..."This gives an idea of what earth might have looked like..." Another possible view that might align better with the text is that all the continents were together in a single continent and all the oceans ("seas") connected surrounded it. Genesis 1:9-10 KJV — And God said, Let the...

    Peter and Paul

    Not just the suffering, but it was for their sin ("iniquity*)

    Peter and Paul

    The riches are unsearchable, but not the scriptures. Jesus and Paul both explained using the OT scriptures why Jesus had to die. It was hid, but not once the object of the hiding was achieved--then it could be revealed.

    Peter and Paul

    Maybe this one: Isaiah 53:5 KJV — But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

    Peter and Paul

    Which scriptures was it according to, if it's not found in any other scripture?

    God is one.

    That wasn't a list of verses, that was one verse, repeated numerous times.
