That is correct. No personal assessments are allowed, only responses to the content. Unless one wishes to ignore forum rules.

"Somehow" he outgrew the truth....... (on this forum and other forums too, for years) Your key words "special pleading" caught my attention....... that one sure has a "special pleading" according to his own posts.... But you make an excellent point. Luke 7:36-50 - Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman In that passage, conservative readers will focus on one line " “Your sins are forgiven.”and they think by this one line that they are authorized to point out sinners. But they fail to notice Jesus forgives her sins without her repenting. Nor does he tell her to stop sinning. Yes, I have moved past judging people for their sins. I am on the side of Jesus, not His complainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scripture is not a critical as many hold it to be. Here is what scripture says about how Holy it is: "useful for teaching" Because it is God's Spoken Truth that He wanted us to know... I think you'll need to take that with Him! As for me I think this fully describes it's value 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. according to this it is absolutely all that we need here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEY! This means the APOSTLE PAUL , what the APOSTLE PAUL WRITES IN SCRIPTURE< IS profitable for doctrine, FOR REPROOF , FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN >>>>>>> RIGHTEOUSNESS !!!!!!!!!!!! Amen . And anyone who rejects those sent by Yahweh, rejects JESUS also. (this happens a lot with those who reject the Apostles - they reject Jesus first, and often never hear from Jesus ever, or ever again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fact reveals when we are not understanding correctly. The light that God gives the heathen will often be added to when he accepts truth about God unless he is being mislead by false teaching. My personal observations are that people no longer are being enlightened or receive discernment after they have bought into a lie. This is not referring to you but to others who have crossed my path. Many of these only accept the Scriptures that they like but reject those they don't like. So these people are also likely to accept the objective morality of God's Word through Jesus Christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as currently the ones who reject the Apostles and their posts reflect rejection of Jesus. 6 minutes ago, Willa said: So these people are also likely to accept the objective morality of God's Word through Jesus Christ. This is unclear, it doesn't seem to fit with the previous .sentences, or with describing the people who reject Scripture and the Apostles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if you believe that or not. They are part of Scripture. And the Bible calls Paul's letters, "Scripture." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
