To be honest, I can't imagine Paul saying anything different than the Gospel he preaches. Someone mentioned maybe Paul had a dual purpose and message, but I really think we can rule out Paul as the author of Hebrewsl. I also think we can rule out this Timothy as being Paul's close companion. He's a brother in the Little Flock.
Sorry for the grave-dig, and I too believe Paul wasn't the author, but it's possible (supposing he was the author) when Paul wrote 2 Thess, that it was true he'd used his name in all of his epistles up until that point in time. If Hebrews was written later by him, it doesn't make his statement in 2 Thess less true.
Fact.

Where did Paul say James was spying?
Galatians
No one here would ever suggest that there isn't anything to learn from the books of the bible that weren't written by Paul. The entire Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and the New Testament books from Hebrews through Revelation are all scripture and "profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16). No one is suggesting that we throw these sections of scripture out the window but merely that we read them in context which means that we have to bear in mind not only what is being said but who its being said too. Basically, when you read Hebrew or James or whatever, in order for it not to cause confusion, it must be kept in mind that you're reading someone else's mail.
Do you really think James, a "pillar", was a false brother or spy?
I'll remember that when I read the letters to the Galatians, Ephesians, Collosians, etc.
Just read the scripture. I never said that James was a false brother or a spy. That is just you misrepresenting what I said. The perfect Hoping is lying again.
I didn't say you said "James is a spy", so quit the falsity.
Though you asked it as a question, it's clearly an accusation and a false one at that. Stop falsely accusing.
I simply quoted scripture that spoke of people "spying out their liberty" that were sent by James.
This is the sort of flippant stupidity that got you ignored in the first place. Are you simply incapable of substantive discussion?
I know you didn't write that James was a spy, as it was written by Mark M in post #64.
By ignoring exhortations and admonissions to the believing Jews, you harm yourself greatly.
It's a PUBLIC forum and these are PUBLIC messages.
Thank you.
I haven't ignored anything. I haven't suggested that anyone ignore anything.
That's true of those in the Body of Christ. It was not true of those in the Kingdom, who were of Israel, who were of the Circumcision.
I didn't. God did. I'm simply reading what the bible says and applying it accordingly.
