Who's law? That's the problem for the faithful to God: it would be considered murder by God's standards, but not by human standards. People aren't perfect, I get that, but it's no excuse for not trying.
Your whole premise with Paul isn't a valid one. Try to listen carefully: Barnabas was an apostle. I'm an apostle. There's a lot more than 12 apostles. I've tried to make this as simple as possible.
You need to stop, you're not even arguing a point worth arguing. You just sound silly...
Prove it. "Likely illiterate"? Really? Drawing conclusions from speculation, isn't that what you just said to me, eh?
It is compelling it was canonized, it had to pass the scrutiny of people much closer to it than we are now.
I mean, the best evidence is the similarity to Jude, but 2 Peter...
You really just made a case for a fetus, and failed to see how it's the case for a new born baby. You realize that, right? The only contrast is "inside" versus "outside" and now you must consider a third term baby versus a baby who's just been born.
Go.
Good Lord. If you're going to pretend to read the book, at least read it in depth rather than relying on websites to break it up and chew it up for you.
Acts 22
12 “Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there, 13 came to...
I posted a comprehensive list of Jesus and Paul's teaching aligning, on CARM. Remember?
How long do we go round and round posting random links that support each's position? The fact is you're position is so outside the norm, you have nothing but conspiracy theory websites to make a case for...
Inconclusive. But the fact it's canonized as Peter is evidence enough for most. Though, you're right, there's people who think Peter wasn't the author (for example, it's quite possible a scribe was used in 1 and Peter himself wrote 2, thus the discrepancy). The truth is, like your anti-Paul...
Still no Romans 9 comments....
No one ever claimed there were 13 Apostles/Disciples (I capitalize these because you probably mean the original 12)? Paul doesn't claim to be one of the original 12, nor a "thirteenth." He says only that he is an apostle.
Guess what? I'm an apostle! AHHHGH...
God stated the hardness... foresaw it, predicted it, whatever you might say... As God says, He sees into the heart, He knows the unseen things; He knew ahead of time. He knows what's going to happen. Why would God need to override someone's will? Not saying He can't surely He can do anything...
I guess only Israel has not disobeyed God. If only we didn't ever sin like David... Hold on a minute......
Did you read versus 19 and 20??
If any could uphold the law, what's the purpose of Jesus? Yes, it's an ideal you can't fathom, but then again, you're watching Star Wars alone, and not...
It isn't a Christian ideal. "Christians" might have done this, but so goes the story; God, the great scapegoat? I don't know. It isn't a biblical concept, though.
Oh, is that your limited scope, god who is still "learning" the ropes? So let me ask you this: what's the difference if God knows beforehand whom will or will not obey? Is it your opinion He's incapable?
In light of that, explain Exodus 4:21 to us.
Romans 9? Well, clarify then, because I don't see how you mean.
He wasn't among the original 12, no, nor did he claim to be. He said he was least of all. However, Jesus elects apostles, and Jesus elected Paul.
Right, so if Paul spends a lot of time writing, with educated scribes, his lexicon might be more vast, can better put it into words... So because Christ doesn't say "predestination" outright, it means it's not what he's teaching? Is that your position? Because you're muddling words, not...
Yes yes, conversions from paganism, etc, overlapping holidays, we get it. It's not a biblical holiday. Christians celebrate halloween too, we gonna make that Christian? Thanksgiving...? Sheesh.
Read the link I posted, there's a section on predestination.
