Why do I call it pointless?
1, yesterday I found out that Mr Thought Police about reading 'other books' HAS BEEN READING OTHER BOOKS this whole time!
2, yesterday I found out that the big contradiction that MAD was supposed to have solved was James 2 about faith. Honestly, the density of these people. It is not a contradiction with Rom 4. James 2 is a question of whether faith is dead, Rom 4 is not. How can the two passages contradict?
I am seeking to know why the pop MAD teacher Del ___ said that in 68 everyone left Paul, and whether he meant they went back to Judaism, or just away from his letters and justification as in Romans/Gal/Phil/2 Cor. Also whether he meant those in Judea, where the pressure to conform to radical Judaism peaked that year. This is a new question to me. He mentions it in his presentation linked at the other thread on Gal 2.
I also think his chronology has problems. The confrontation of Peter in Gal 2 was not Acts 9. Peter, therefore, strayed more than once.
yepHi and in 1 Tim 4:6-14 is what you should read !!

That teacher was Les Feldick.
DanP, the question was 'departed him for what?' Feldick thinks they 'went back to the gospel accounts, and dumped his letters.'
Cool down. I'm asking if anyone knows if he meant 'deserted for the gospels' or 'deserted for Judaism'. He didn't clarify in that presentation. You might know; I don't. Not everything is about (for or against) you.

Seriously, you actually think I need calming down - after all my icons in response to you?
Here, have another :chuckle:
Lol
Personally, I think he doesn't know what he is talking about on some of those points.
Sounds like Stam's own conspiracy theories in his (Stam's) otherwise great commentary on Galatians.
That right there is my point about the "hazards" of OVER relying on books "about."
MADs are no exception.
My point has never been against books themselves.
As with a loaded gun; it's what people too often do with books that is too often the problem.
In both cases, people too quickly rely on either too readily, too often, and to too great an extent, as their means to an end.
One should challenge the heck out of what one reads - even when one thinks it is sound!
I guess we need book control :rotfl:
Anyway, my sense is that in 2 Timothy, Paul is referring to Believers far and wide, but also, far from the Jerusalem saints. Believers who abandoned the gospel of the grace of God for the very issue Paul is found dealing with throughout just about every one of his Thirteen Epistles - a mix of Law and Grace.
To this day, it is this very "other gospel; which is not another" that appeals to the masses.
Darby writes of having been under its bondage.
As the Reformers never really broke completely free of it.
As with you - you think you are "spiritual Israel."
Ten to one you believe in some sort of conditional blessing.
No, but you have to interpret Heb 8:13 don't you? Since it is true, why does anyone bother with MAD for even a moment?
Spiritual Israel has no connection to mixing Gospel and law. There were no Reformers that did not distinguish them. If they did not, they were not reforming.
Spiritual Israel means those people who have faith in the Gospel, no matter what ethne. They are mature, not under the child-trainer. They are at work in the mission of the Gospel, announced centuries earlier in the Promise and by the prophets.
'Conditional blessing?' About what?
Thanks for a topical post, instead of one about a person.
Your denial about 'books about' simply means that you want everyone to agree with you. You have to earn that. You're not doing very well.
I said yesterday that I recently was told that MAD exists to resolve James 2. Do you know of some other reason? Did it think it resolved Gospel and law--ie, those who mix them?
That does NOT change the status of the new covenant which is for all, 2 Cor 5! Are you pathologically trying to make the Bible complicated??? Sheesh.
Obsession is unhealthy.
I prefer Abe Vigoda.
Steve Landesberg reminds me of IP too much but with better humor.
Fish was good!
I liked all of the Barney Miller characters.
Hebrews was written to the Hebrews, remember?
Find something in it that does not apply to non Jews, going forward. It was written to those who had been Hebrews, but not to them only going forward. Not one chapter is limited to them about things that are now true in the Gospel.
Are we really going to have people who think that way here?
Yep - Mid Acts Dispensationalism.
Which you - ever the expert amateur - are completely clueless of.
