CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Did Scripture end with the OT?

I know that Jesus is the Word of God but that is not my question. The words that Jesus spoke was spirit and life. We cannot understand anything that Jesus was really saying with our natural mind. After all the disciples couldn't even understand him and they lived with him. What is the Holy Spirit's job in helping us understand what exactly is the Word of God? The only way to know the spirit and the truth behind Jesus' words is by the Holy Spirit teaching us. The Gospel of Luke tells us some of the things that Jesus said. The Gospel of Thomas also says that Jesus said things. But the Spirit of God will show us the truth or lack there of in these words.

Paul clearly says that he got his gospel from no man but it was from God. He had been preaching several years before he met Peter.

Much of what we see here is people minimizing the Word of God to rely on some spiritual revelations. The only revelation for the Bride --the Church, is the plain Word of God. Certainly God will also speak to individual believers to lead and encourage them, but He fully expects the saints to keep His Word (and not be changing words to get a more acceptable message). His Word will be opened in the Judgment and saints will be judged out of it, as God shows.
