I clicked and sure enough there was another place where you commented on Hebrews Chapter 6 for the most part and then there I found another place to click and again it was you with a slightly more detailed discourse. Let me say that I don't quite understand the nomenclature you use in your list, I think I agree with much of the underlying basis for your conclusions. I still don't understand how anything there is relevant to my belief that we shouldn't spend our time or efforts on anything other than what Jesus instructed us. That's all I'm saying. I have no definitive opinion of the actual topic, only a belief that when we get bogged down with such details that have no bearing on our daily walk with God that we tend to lose focus on what Christ taught us to do with our time and energy.

If I had just a dime for every time someone disagreed with me I'd make Donald Trump look like a pauper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said there are 7 mentioned in the word of God but not part of man's selection of the 66 the West chose. Still not interested? Nope, I do not believe there are 7 books. But God knows. I will leave it with Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a library in Heaven. As an aside, books were originally handwritten in scrolls...which is useful to know when reading these verses. (Isa 34:4) And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. (Rev 6:14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
