Yes, it does (cf. Acts 2:1-4). The problem is that it also supported my view, or at least, didn't contradict my position. Peter was given the authority to do so by Jesus Himself. Special pleading. Keep reading. As RD pointed out, and as Scripture states quite clearly, yes, he is. "He...

Appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy. Don't base your beliefs on logical fallacies. As stated above, in this case, it's not an appeal to authority, it's an appeal to tradition. Appeal to authority is "X is an authority, X said P, therefore P must be correct." Appeal to tradition is "P...

Because that's what this site is for. And you've been repeatedly answered that we believe the Bible. Why do we need to believe a creed or statement of faith? The tenets of our theology are contained within the Bible. If you have a problem with that, then maybe the issue doesn't lie with...

Uh.... Hmmm. You're delusional. @Idolater "Scripture" for the Apostles WAS LITERALLY what we now today call the "OLD TESTAMENT." The entire thread is still there for everyone to read, you numbskull.

No, it doesn't, because you changed the topic. Which was in response to this: No one has decided that God's choice was to let the Apostles choose the candidates. That's LITERALLY what Scripture describes. The Apostles chose two candidates, and then cast lots to determine which should take...

Considering I gave them the authority to decide what they want to do, I would go along with whatever they chose. I wouldn't grill steaks. However, if the circumstances changed after they chose, that prevented me from continuing in providing the food they chose, then I would switch to the plan...

@oatmeal who are you talking to?

It's like this passage doesn't even exist for you... And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth...

Saying it doesn't make it so!

Yes, He SPOKE light into existence, because it did not exist before. Indeed. Yes He did. Right, He created light by speaking it into existence. Just like He created animals and celestial entities by speaking them into existence. Yup. Just like He said: "Let there be lights in the...

You're right, not twelve walls. Twelve foundations, and twelve gates, somehow became twelve walls in my head.

That is what you need to establish. Something you haven't done yet. Book, chapter, verse, please. Paul's "dispensation" was not the Great Commission given to the twelve Apostles who would sit on twelve thrones ruling over the twelve tribes in the city with twelve walls... His dispensation...

They're called "near death" because they didn't actually die. And because they didn't actually die, they were never in the presence of God. .You've been bamboozled, if you believe them when they say they've been in His presence. If they had ACTUALLY died, if they had actually met God or been...

And they do so in spite of what the rest of Scripture says. Which just makes them wrong. I already addressed this. Repeating your claim won't make it magically come true. "Replenish" just means "to fill." It does not mean "to fill again." The "war that took place in heaven" took place in...

What evidence? What logic?

There was nothing at all cryptic about what RD said. As you have been told repeatedly, our authority is Scripture, not writings of men. Your problem is with Scripture, not Dispensationalists. What's too easy is if you actually were to steel man our arguments, instead of knocking down straw...

Love is the commitment to the good of someone. God is committed to the good of all men, unconditionally. Yes. No, because not all men have turned back to God. No, because most have covered their eyes and ears, and have refused to see and to listen to it. "Will" here means "desire." God...
