Circular argument. How do we know about the Law, in order to keep it? From the Bible.
Yeah, so when we dis him, he'll claim that all God's prophets were dissed, which must prove that he's a valid prophet.:super:Ramrod must be God's mouthpiece now! Oy vey!
Historical dates have very little to do with theological truth.A) 5 April 30 AD
B) 5 April 2010 AD
c) U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945
Only one of these answers is the truth absolute.
Why does it matter? The theological truth of the crucifixion does not depend on the calendar.What day of the week did Jesus experience Crucifixion on the cross?

SomeSimply asking for Christians who claim to be of the truth too share with me truth. does that make me God's mouth peice? If a Christian were a true follower of God they should be God's mouthpeice since they keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.
if they do not keep the commandments of God can they still claim to have the testimony of Jesus?
Jesus spoke truth from heaven that was not in written form. Why are christians reliant on written form when Jesus promised them a spirit of truth. the same spirit Jesus received on the Day of his Baptism?
Ramrod the majority of mainstream Christians don't rely on the written alone. They believe the Spirit continues to guide the Church to truth, and that's why there's tradition.
That particular truth does not lie within the set of truth that is efficacious for the salvation of the soul.It does matter if truth is important for salvation of the soul.
The Church doesn't reach the truth. It is truth, as Christ is truth, since the Church is Christ's Bpody on earth.At what point does the church reach the truth?
Ball games and horse races are started. Lawn mowers and chain saws are started. The Church is and always has been the Body of Christ.are they the true church that jesus started
Jesus loved the harlot, just as she was. The Father received with joy the Prodigal -- just as he was.or are they simply playing the harlot and prodigal son not knowing they are existing in half the truth becuae they no not that they are missing the other half of the truth?
Some
Christians are not that reliant on the texts. Some are informed by the Tradition of the Church, which is the Body of Christ -- which, as you claim, received the Spirit of truth.

Think bigger. Tradition includes the celebration of holy days, among many other things.Which tradition of the church reveals the truth? Is it Easter? Is it Christmass?
Since fulfillment of the Law entailed a parabolic move to counter the mythic, I'd say not.For jesus to have fulfilled the Laws of moses would he not have been physically born on the first day of the feast of tabernacles?
Since Christ overcame death, I'd have to say that's fairly self-explanatory.How does Easter reveal Jesus fulfilling the Laws of moses concerning the Passover?
The Tradition isn't false. And it points us toward God -- not the other way 'round.'Just becuse Christian men have accepted false traditions that keep them cut off from the spirit of God, does that mean they are saved?
God saves.Can they save others?
I don't know what you mean by "evangelize."if they cannot save others for what reason do Christians feel the need to evangelize a book of fragmented historical recordings that does not always speak a truth?
We endeavor to do that, as best we can.would they be more productive to keep the Law,
Been there, done that. To wit: Pentecostreceive the baptism of spirit
Why should we do that? What part of Moses' Law says to "take the gospel to the world?"then take the gospel to the world thorugh living example?
The Church is one.Which church? The Catholics? the Baptist? The adventists?
If your body is a temple, then church has nothing to do with salvation. Tradition helps people maintain good behavior. But, do you really think it is truthful to follow rules in order to attain salvation? Moses's laws were to establish moral behavior as best as possible in people who would otherwise have no conscience. Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within, and do not judge. Tradition is all about judgment. If you don't follow a rule, however arbitrary it may be, you are wrong. Shame is not what Jesus taught. He tried to show us love and forgiveness.
Christ fulfills the Law. When one follows Christ, one enters into that fulfillment.The fulfillment of the Law is love.
Since the Tradition of the Church is to follow Jesus, I don't see how that's true.Traditions can cause men to break the law.
At what point does the church reach the truth?
Many claim the bible is truth from God. At what point is the spirit of truth inspiring truth when it places the anointing in bethany event 6 days before the passover according to John. Matthew and Mark place this one time event 2 days before the Passover.
I know that truth from God is pure truth absolute. I learned this by using God's word (Prophecy) as a light to the differing testimonies of Men from with in the bible as well as Christian denominational history as a whole.
So in effect it is a learning tool in regards to prophecy fulfillment that the letter kills and the spirit of truth is the only thing that can give life.
untill men see truth from Error/ Good seed from Bad seed sown in the same field, They will remain in the darkness of human perception choosing lies over the truth that can only come from God. For example, page 25 of the below link illustrates the differing perceptions of human imagination for the fulfillment of 3 days and 3 nights. Which illustration on that page is speaking the full truth from God about God?

Feel free to choose a colored arrow on the top time line if it represents your perceptional starting point for the beginning of the 3 days and 3 nights prophecy. After making your selection please explain yourself as to why your choice was more of a correct truth than what other denominations present which are objectively reflected on that page.
