You are really not wise are you.

• “Is the Didascalia Apostolorum written by the apostles?”

The correct answer based on exegesis is yes the text claims to be written by the apostles. You personally do not believe it is vs we scholars do( see what I did there).
You do not do exegesis you do eisegesis - you start with the assumption the internal claims to authorship are a lie for all these texts, then reject the internal claim of authorship of them. You believe the torah is pseudepigrapha but you are so dishonest you will not say it publicly. Chat GPT will assume the text is pseudepigrapha because websites written by people like you, and it was trained on that data which is why I have to tell it to do exegesis - that is assume the text is historical, and not pseudepigrapha.

Acts of Pilate is just one section of Gosp of Nic. There is another section not written by Pilate.

Also I forgot to ask- are you Christian? I will not waste my time any more if you are not.

I'm a Christian, and a New Testament scholar of thirty years. You still need not waste your time, because I don't intend to waste time on someone like you. I have better things to do with my time than try to convince people of facts who can't be convinced of anything beyond the sound of their own voice.

You have a great day. I won't read your response, so don't bother.

Good point/Post..
What you read..is correct.

I hope other judges will realize they are not above the law.

Maybe a modern day example might be to be wary of those who bring financial giving or selling of products into healing or gospel presentations. Perhaps they should not be given a platform in church. God Bless All.

Hello

It reminds me of Jn 4 : "23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

i don't mean decorating a chrismas tree would be a lying worshipping, but may be it is an external one, distinct from this internal the Father is seeking for

Growing up in the Roman Catholic Church the Crucifix was always the symbol we had in the home. After leaving the church and becoming Pentecostal, now it is a Cross.

Which do you choose, and why.

Let's show our good Christian attitude and take jabs at each other.

For me - I choose the Cross, because I view it like I view the empty tomb - the Risen Savior.

Never thought over this. Thank you for the thread. i use indifferently both

I listed a litany of lies I feel Reiner spewed. It's not my job to make you move away from deceit and dishonesty that the Democrats victimized Trump with since 2017:


•he said that Trump posed a threat to American democracy.
•In 2017 he said he believed Trump was “mentally unfit” to serve as president
•he said Trump is the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States
•he said Trump showed no interest in trying to find out how government works
•In 2024, he said that another Trump presidency could turn the United States from a democracy into an “autocracy.”
•he said Trump "can probably spell the word ‘bible’, I don’t think he’s ever read it and I don’t think he has any idea what’s in it."
•he said this about us Christians who support Trump, "but they excuse all that by saying God works in mysterious ways, and that he sent us this flawed vessel by which we can achieve the goals that we want to achieve."
•he called Trump a criminal
•he said Trump "basically lies every minute of his life”
•he once compared Trump’s repeated political comebacks to a “zombie or a cockroach.”
•he said Trump has declared war on this democracy.
•he said Trump takes funds that were appropriated by Congress and then refuses to distribute them, in clear contradiction to the Constitution, the separation of powers.
•he said Trump was threatening the Hollywood community's First Amendment rights.

Lackadaisical.

If the White House believes that, why doesn't the president pardon the crime, rather than let the stain of this Biden lawfare stand?

Buit why compare- rather than applaud it wherever it's happening? And my denomination happens to have such a system anyway. It's called Catholic Relief and it's one of the hugest and most efficient relief agencies out there.

As I said before: The Body of Christ does not have the spiritual or material power or authority to make a social justice plan applicable to the world.
Catholic Relief does what it can, but it does not have the spiritual or material power or authority to make a social justice plan applicable to the world.

The whole world is not clothed, housed, and fed.

That is not our mission. It wasn't even Jesus' mission.

Where I believe those 15 time periods fit into the final 7 years of this Christian era;

Revelation 11:2 & 13:5 - The 42 months from when the AC sits in the Temple, to the Return of Jesus.
Rev 12:14, the same period, the time the faithful peoples will be kept safe far away.
Daniel 7:25 & 12:7; again - the same period, the world under Satanic control for three and a half years.

Daniel 8:14, the 2300 evenings and mornings; actually 1150 days; is past history. It refers to when King Antiochus 4 conquered Judah and placed a pig on the altar, until it was cleansed in 164BC.

Daniel 9:27, After the supernatural destruction of a huge army attacking the people in the Holy Land, led by Gog from Magog, the leader of the rest of the world will make a 7 year peace treaty with the leaders in Jerusalem. He will break it at the halfway and conquer the Holy peoples.

Ezekiel 39:9 & 12, There is no way we can pinpoint this time of the cleansing of the Holy Land. It must start before that 7 year treaty. Probably overlap some.

Revelation 11:3 & 12:6, the final period of 1260 days before Jesus Returns, Same time as the 42 months and the three and a half years.

Revelation 11:11, refers to actual days, Those 2 Witnesses will be raised by Jesus when He Returns, along with all the martyrs killed during the 3 1/2 year time of world Satanic control.

Daniel 12:11 The extra 30 days after Jesus Returns, is for the Atonement of the people and the removal of the abomination.

Revelation 9:10, fits somewhere in the final 3 1/2 years. 5 months of torment by stinging critters, part of the Great Tribulation.

Your question fields at least this theological concern. If a human lived on another planet would Satan have any influence there?
Revelation 12:9 (ESV)
9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Deceiver of the whole earth, or world? If world does not include other planets, a man not born again would still have a sin nature, but if living in another planet, perhaps there is no demonic involvement at all? It would be an interesting experiment to see if even the space station has demonic involvement.

It seems like man will press the boundaries of earth plus cultivate potential resources from other planets so I think when the tech is there will be visits and maybe occupation of other planets. Of course God could thwart any successful attempts in all kinds of ways.

Thanks for pointing that out. I edited to the message to reflect that. God bless!

I really didn't know if David would be just alright, decent, good, etc. I ended up loving it. It's the best theatrical release this year. Best Christian animated movie since Prince of Egypt. One of the best Christian movies ever made. Stunning animation, great music, sincere, and heartfelt. David is handled so well and I liked how it did more with his family.

I was never taught that December 25 was the birth date of Jesus. I don't see the problem with celebrating his birth just because it's not in the bible.

I don't understand the lecture but I really don't care about it all that much, either.

Celebrate it or don't?

Interesting.

I forget where I read it, but I did read an article somewhere about how most of Israel is not even religious. The younger generations refused to follow the orthodox ways, saying it was just too much.

Maybe there are some similarities here.

So says everyone who promotes a bible + tradition doctrine. History has shown that tradition has fallen short. If you're unwilling to defend a doctrine without extra-biblical support, I must view this as a doctrine that cannot be supported biblically.
