I don't accept dictates from anyone; get over it. There has to be reasons; there has to be 2-3 witnesses on a question that is found in reference material.

How did the dispensationalists on ECT get to the point of being mockers in resisting the truth according to II Timothy 3:8, II Peter 2: 2, II Peter 3: 3, and Jude 1: 18?
Is it that they are influenced by the Leftist mainstream media of 2016-2017?
I keep thinking of probably mostly older dispensationalists - Steve Quayle, Doug Hagmann and Rodney Howard-Browne - who are not obvious mockers and who have opposed the Marxist Left and the mainstream media in contrast to the apparent thinking of dispensationalists on ECT.
Steve Quail was one of the populist-patriot short wave broadcasters in the middle and late nineties who were the forerunners of the contemporary patriot-populist media. Doug Hagmann is a private investigator whose Hagmann Report became part of the Populist-Patriot new media. Like Quail, Hagmann is a dispensationalist and also like Quail, Hagmann is probably over 60.
:french:No, I was referring to what James and Peter said right there in Acts 15. I do not flit about the NT electronically or otherwise trying to jumble the passage in front of me.
Neither do I accept your silly dictates; get over it.I don't accept dictates from anyone; get over it.
Perhaps, but a million incorrect commentaries is of no use at all.There has to be reasons; there has to be 2-3 witnesses on a question that is found in reference material.

Your story is only true in your feeble little mind and those of other commentarians that believe like you.As I have said many times, it's one of the passages that totally busts the D'ist mentality, which is why they play cartoons instead of grow up and deal with it.
So this is a dictate?
"Simon has described to us how god at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. The words of the prophets are in agreement with this...
After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent...
that the remnant of men may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who bear my name
says the Lord who does these things
that have been known for age."
The 'taking a people' was happening before them and was the prophecy.
Just listen to RD and STP and Tam. They know no languages and they despise commentaries. Perfect candidates to dictate what D'ism says because:

Story? Context! The council was coming to terms with the reality of Gentile christians. If they were slow in Acts 1 about 'the kingdom of israel' they were really slow about the reality of Gentile christians! Amos 9 is quoted to say yes, they were coming and it has been known for ages!
It is no more complicated than that.
Best of three? So do you randomly select commentaries and open them up?I don't use a million. I use enough to settle a question with a best of three.
the first thing you find out is that not all of them speak about an issue that you would like them to. So you have to do some digging. If the publisher is respected and has a high view of Scripture, and the type of commentary is a Greek text commentary, then, yes, go with the best 2 of 3 that speak to a certain issue.
I have tried to paint the context of Rom 11 1000x and you have the same tapes running in your heads as now. Context means you tie in to chs 10 and 9 and even 2 about a true Jew. You have issues with Judaism the way Paul does.
You don't just find soundbytes and do electronic word searches, you really enter the person's world.

Why not just look at what the Bible says, and look at the context to see what a verse means? Seems to me that your method wouldn't be as reliable...
Why not just look at what scripture says, and then go from there? Skip the commentaries entirely...I don't randomly select commentaries; I have to know the publisher has a high view of Scripture. Or other references toward that.
