Etc. Maybe we should have a church made exactly how he says. Edited May 31, 2017 by Absolem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated before the information is what has been debated by the very authorities that approved the books in the bible. This is not of my doing. I was simply sharing the information. Addressing the OP that is all. No confusion. Choosing to believe any 'authority' that opposes Scripture is not an excuse at all for opposing Scripture. I saw in some posts several 'authorities' listed, none of which can override Scripture, so using any of them to reject Scripture is already failed. What the reason is for rejecting Scripture, is perhaps unknown. Might perhaps remain unknown. But it is clearly seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people dismiss Paul's letters as biblical authority about issues . Thats basically contradicting 2 Timothy 3.16. God's word is absolute. Only exception being aspects of the old covenant which was explained as having passed away. When people do this its basically rebellion to parts f Gods word they don't like Do you ever wonder why epistles of the one apostle that did not serve with Jesus during his ministry occupies near 2/3rds of the new testament Jesus came to deliver to the world?

No I dont. I have never doubted the 13 books Paul wrote .I dont pretend that I am wiser than The LORD. I take in ALL Gods word as God breathed. What is the point in postulating oneself as wiser than the Holy Spirit who teaches? If God had an ant write some of his word;I would be alright with it! Sounds like a silly statement doesnt it? Its about as silly as those who doubt the LORD writing through Paul the 13 books It is very very shaky ground to be standing on. Satan is glorified when we doubt ANY of Gods word. Proverbs 26: 12Do you see a man wisein his own eyes? There is more hope for a foolthan for him. Thought that contradicts Gods work is worldly: 1 Corinth 3:18Let no one deceive himself.If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may becomewise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.

I'm like? ya....Paul the same one that SAW JESUS face to face and was struck blind? The same Paul that the Lord made the greatest evangelist? the same Paul that was taken up to Heaven but could not speak of what he saw? It is mind boggling that anyone looks down on Paul.

Men look down on Paul to lift themselves up. They are wise in their own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are one set of scripture that state Paul saw Jesus. These scriptures are clearly talking about how people Physically saw Jesus alive after the crucifixion. 1 Corinthians 15:3-10 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

That passage isn't having Paul say he met Jesus face to face as did the others who not only walked with Christ when he was alive before the crucifixion, but who saw him when he came to them afterward during his 40 days . Paul is referring to the the encounter on the Damascus road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it make a difference if a person see Jesus in the flesh or in His glory, as long as they see Him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
