Jester of glass asked:
"Is that statement infallibly true?"
I countered, based upon his "argument," above:
"Chapter, verse that asserts that my teachings, or any other respective member of the body of Christ's teachings, are infallible.
"Chapter, verse, that asserts that the church, i.e., me/any other respective member of the body of Christ, is the source of objective truth."--saint John W
His "response:"
"God is the source of objective truth.
The question is, by what means does God's truth reach the ears and eyes of men?"-saint John W
"Do you believe that Christ's apostles taught any falsehoods?"-him
You missed it. What they taught, was given to them directly by the Holy Ghost, ...
They received the gift of the Holy Spirit=power from on high=baptism WITH the Holy Spirit, not baptism BY the Holy Spirit.
And associated with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, per the Lord Jesus Christ's own words, why are you studying and learning and teaching? After all, per the Lord Jesus Christ's own words:
"But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak." Mt. 10:19 KJV
"But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost." Mk. 13:11 KJV
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26
Thus, during this time, "Back to Pentecost," the prophetic program, when the sign gift, miracles.....were in operation, the apostles were given absolute, "perfect" knowledge," before the completion of the word of God. This includes the "word of knowledge," explaining how Peter knew that Ananias, had lied to the Holy Ghost-survey Acts 5 KJV.
That was temporary.....Then, a dispensational change, as the prophetic plan was (temporarily) set aside.....No more sign gifts/word of knowledge/apostles.........
The means by which God's truth reach the ears and eyes of men,is through the written word, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. But, in this dispensation, nowhere does the LORD God promise that we will all have "exhaustive knowledge" of all truth, as in days past.....Hence, the admmonision by Paul, to study, teach.......................................................Another thread...
