    Let's TALK about Paul...

    If you are supposedly a scholar who has read "thousands of books", why can't you even spell your own "handle" correctly @amatuerscholar?

    What is the Authority of the New Testament?

    No. You clearly lack understanding of what I write. I am NOT contradicting myself.

    He will be called "Nazarene"...

    That may be the simplest answer, but not the best one. You, like others, think that the Gospels are a variant of Western journalism. They are not. They are portraits of Jesus Christ, His life on Earth, the many miracles He performed, the teachings He gave, etc. are more like impressionists...

    Why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    1) Can you give evidence of this? 2) Only belief in the Messiah can save a person.

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    I don't know how many times I have to point at that the New Testament is all about faith, i.e., having peace with God through Jesus Christ and knowing (not believing) that what the Bible says, confirmed by our own experiences, is 100% true. There are all kinds of cynical doubters who, not...

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    I don't recall seeing any post from you before, but I AM VERY. VERY HAPPY that you are here. There is a lot of ignorant nonsense posted by people whose goal, it seems, is to write whatever uninformed, hostile garbage they can come up with. Please continue to participate! The more informed...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    Then why did you bring it up in post #290?

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    Paul was most definitely not a fake apostle. On the contrary, he was probably the greatest apostle, having written most of the New Testament and having spread the gospel and formed churches in the Mediterranean region. If you have evidence of your claim that Paul was a fake apostle, then...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Read your own "signature". Or have you included it as a sick joke?

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    You have no idea what you're talking about. None.

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    The ancient Roman empire is the definition of a centralized leadership and/or unified authority structure.. Everything, including the society of the Palestinian, Asia Minor, and Mediterranean region was under the direct control of Rome.

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    It's called the theory of evolution for a reason. If you don't think that flora and fauna change over time to adapt to changing circumstances, you "have your head in the sand".

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    You don't live? Interesting. That explains a lot!

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    All that you have shown is that translation from one language to another is not an exact science. There are simply too many variables and nuances of meaning to come up with a one-to-ine correspondence. The Septuagint was the Bible in use in the Greek-speaking world and is often quoted in Greek...

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    Thanks @Kenny . I appreciate the kind words! Such a difference from the cynical, nasty posts from so many on this forum. I agree 110% with the last paragraph. Blessings to you also. See you with Jesus one day!

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    We agree: you are clueless!

    Physical Christianity

    He "ascribed" to what He learned from His Father in heaven. He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life". He taught a new doctrine.. He was neither an Essene nor a Pharisee. He taught an entirely new doctrine that far surpassed that of the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, etc. Remember in...

    Physical Christianity

    That is funny? Really?

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    After I was healed and saved by Jesus Christ, we sold our farm and moved to St. Paul, where I simultaneously went to Bible school and received training in computer programming. Both were worthwhile! I am still a devoted, passionate Christian and had an excellent career in various forms of...

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    a) I do not accept your Jewish interpretation of what is written in the New Testament. b) Read you "second" above for the answer.
