No, it isn't. There were Jews all over that area of the world and they continued to minister to those groups throughout their lives. Not only was Matthias chosen in accordance with the qualification spelled out by Peter but the Eleven had been given broad authority to act in Christ's absence...

Exodus 20:11a For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested...

Excellent question! The fact that you're asking an intentionally irrational crazy person to make sense just means you won't get an answer.

That's my line! The fact is that they had been doing so but then stopped following it at all, and intentionally so, in response to Paul's divinely directed trip to Jerusalem to explain "his gospel" to them. (Gal. 2:6-9) Unresponsive. The sentence this was in response to was that he did NOT go...

It isn't quite what the English reading of Jesus' words would seem to suggest in regards to the love of money being the root of all kinds of evil. First of all, almost everyone leaves out the word "kinds" and turns it into much more of a blanket statement than it was ever intended to be in the...

So there was a time before light existed, then God spoke and then it did exist but that isn't "creating light", according to you. You are an idiot! I see that there's still good reason to leave you on ignore.

Okay, so first of all I want to say a very heart felt thank you for actually making a real argument! Imagine how much more interesting and engaging and edifying this website would be if everyone did what you've done here. Not that every single post someone makes has to be a fleshed out argument...

More conspiracy theories? Let me guess, the Freemasons founded the CIA, right?

Then what's the point?

I submit that this is a policy that you cannot follow. Why? By what logic? Who is being harmed by an honest use of such terms? How is it more honest to avoid the use of accurate labels?

Yes, I am more often than not. On the contrary! I find it amusingly flattering that you think I'm the genesis of that teaching! Do you read anything that isn't written by a Catholic? "John 1:1 In the beginning was Logic, and Logic was with God, and Logic was God. 2 He was in the beginning...

I was big fan of Spock when I was a teen but now, as an adult, I notice constantly how illogical the character was. As for my avatar, I like using any form of triquetra. Until I just now looked it up, I had no idea there was anything that was called a "Triskelion", never mind that the avatar I...

No, it isn't. Yeah, well since He never said that, you're point is sort of lost, isn't it? Nope! Still not a ad hominem. The term "ad hominem" IS NOT synonymous with "insult"! It just isn't what it means. If you refuse to figure it out or find that you cannot figure it out then the term...

You missed the point. It was a rhetorical question. The point was that "honestly representing God's word" cannot be separated from what we believe. Baptists and Catholics disagree on a great many biblical issues. Do you think that one (or both) of them are being dishonest or isn't it true that...

That's you, reading your doctrine into the text. She believed what the angels told her. Being a Christian requires one place their faith in Christ for the remission of their sin, which you don't even believe she needed! Yes, if you understood the dispensation of Grace that was given to Paul by...

Saying it doesn't make it so. Make an actual argument - PLEASE!

I have yet to have A.I. do anything that's all that super impressive other than to be able to properly (mostly) interpret and respond to human language. I mean, it's an amazingly useful tool but its nowhere near becoming sentient or even intuitive, so far as I've seen. One thing's for sure, the...

This statement is more true than you're likely willing to admit! Jesus wasn't simply logical, He is Logic! John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing...

I agree that no such right exists but the argument here is incomplete. It isn't immoral because God said so but rather the reverse. God said it is immoral because it is objectively immoral. Why then is it immoral? Simply put, because it leads to death, which is what it means to be immoral...

Yes.
