I'm surprised to find this kind of fair and balanced reporting coming out of CNN. Especially since usually they're like many other news media; they love Europe; Europe walks on water; Europe's skubalon doesn't stink.

RD basically believes that the "New Testament" books are all the books except for Paul's letters, and that Paul's letters form a third part of the Bible, iow he sees the Bible dividing between the Old Testament, the NT, and then Paul.
It was more than just that 2nd Timothy was written specifically to the man Timothy. It was also written, as was 1st Timothy, and Titus, to bishops. This is a very special gift, that Timothy and Titus the bishops have provided to the Church; literal letters written to them personally...

I'm not doing any of those things, JudgeRightly.
I'm not moving any goalposts. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The everlasting covenant (Heb13:20) being 'put on hold' is...
Because it was the police who said it, and they obviously are all liars. It was probably a baloney sandwich, and they saw it and thought, "That was probably made with a knife," and then thought, "Close enough"---POW!
That's not what the Lord Jesus Christ said. He didn't break it and say, "This is bread," He said, "This is My body."
I don't do that.
Yes I did. Just recently too. Didn't see anything in there about a newsflash that the "everlasting covenant" was "put on hold". Romans 11 is actually more...
