I am not a wordy person. If I can condense my thoughts into a single sentence, I would prefer to do that. If my meaning is not clear, all you need to do is ask for me to explain. You can do this without taking offense, can you not? As for the paragraphs, many of us have found that when communicating on the message board, it is easier to read the points broken apart. Paragraphs tend to be skimmed over rather than actually read. Likewise, after about three paragraphs, people tend to stop reading the rest of the post. This is another reason for the replies with short posts. I can provide 2 Scriptures that address this: Ecclesiastes 6:11(RSV) - The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better? 1 Corinthians 8:1b (RSV) - "Knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. My initial response was short because I wanted to be sure I was interpreting correctly what you were saying: It sounds to me like you are condemning the Apostle Peter. Is this what you are doing? Here are my objections: Peter was the first of the disciples to confess Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. Peter was the one who delivered the sermon on Pentecost resulting in the salvation of about 3000 that day. Peter was the first of the Apostles to perform a miracle (the healing of a lame man). Peter was the one whom the Lord used to first preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. Yes, Peter did deny Jesus 3 times. However, Jesus prophesied this would happen, and He instructed Peter to strengthen his brethren after he "turned again" (Luke 22:32). Thus, I do not understand why you would make such an attack on Peter as you did. Would you please explain?

actually all it proves is that the Syrian "church" of the 2nd century was already re-interpreting with a greek spirit. My first question (of many) about what they say is "Was this statement made during or after Origin??" because it was him who introduced "spiritualizing" scripture to bend it into whatever shape they want. There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that the Lord's Day is anything but the Sabbath. None whatsoever.

Funny how they say they are pro-Choice. Not pro-Death. Cannot face the truth. I am Pro-Life and Pro-Choice Choices 1.Don't have sex if you don't want a child 2.Use birth control 3.Give up the baby for adoption 4. Keep and raise the kid. Many choices, however, notice that murder is not an option.
