The Bible makes many claims, all true. Since no one is higher nor greater than Yahweh, nor even remotely close, there's really nothing else to appeal to, in what Yahweh Says, that would make any difference at all.

"These "oppositions" have been supposed by some to be a special allusion to some of the Gnostic theories of the opposition between the Law and the Gospel, of which peculiar school, later, Marcion was the great teacher. It is hardly likely that any definite Gnostic teaching had as yet been heard in Ephesus, but there is little doubt that the seeds of much of the Gnosticism of the next century were--when St. Paul wrote to Timothy--being then sown in some of the Jewish schools of Ephesus and the neighbouring cities. (Comp. the allusions to these Jewish and cabalistic schools in St. Paul's letter to the Colossian Church.) The "oppositions" "here may be understood as referring generally to the theories of the false teachers, who were undermining the doctrine of St. Paul as taught by Timothy." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because someone told you but that you know for sure from your own research. I think I can admit there is a God. Sometimes I have problems believing Genesis. Any suggestions are comments I welcome. There is a book written in 1951, "THE FLOOD, In Light Of The Bible, Geology, And Archaeology" by Alfred M. Rehwinkel You may be able to find a copy on Amazon. Interesting read. He had sons at an age starting to ask questions that deserved deeper answers and was taken back by the lack of compiled facts about the flood so he did some research and put one together himself.

John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. This water represents information. It gives life to those that thirst for spirit and truth, but can drown those that seek the concerns of the flesh, because their flesh rejects the truth. In Revelation 12 the dragon uses his own 'flood' of misinformation to try and drown (make spiritually dead) our desire for truth and its children, and I believe its what we are even experiencing today. Honestly, (I know its an unpopular view for Christians) I don't know if the flood really happened, but I know what it represents: The ones that seek truth and spirit will survive the depths of the waters of information, by the power of God and his Son, who are fishers of men.

Learn and decide whether the Bible is God's Word--it will change your life, your destiny, and your eternity! God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
