Are Protestants dead?

[Righttruth]

Yes there is, the rich were depriving the poor and it's explicit in the text, try reading it.

The issue is totally different. How about you quoting in parallel to show similarity in James and Paul?

 

[Righttruth]

Yes they did, and accepted him as an Apostle to the Gentiles:

For God, who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the Jews, was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles. And recognizing the grace I had been given, James, Cephas, and John — those reputed to be pillars — gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews. They only asked us to be mindful of the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. (Gal. 2:8-10)​

Very funny! You quote Paul to defend him? We need other witnesses to prove the truth.

 

[Righttruth]

What does that even mean?

John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

Any teaching that contradicts the Gospel of Jesus got to be discarded.

 

[Righttruth]

He was a Pharisee, are you just trying to cause division or are you going to actually make a point here?

Read that verse again. Paul did not say that he was a Pharisee even after conversion in his public testimony!

 

[Righttruth]

Sometimes, and then sometimes he said this:

Did God’s word originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached? If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command. But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored. (1 Cor. 14:36-38)​

What a self-glorification from a rank outsider!

 

[Righttruth]

The Holy Spirit would strongly disagree with your false notion of what is Scripture and what is not.

Where does it say that the appendix of the Gospel (anything after the Gospel books) got to be considered as Scripture?

 

[Righttruth]

You don't accept the creed, the Scriptures or the rules of this forum, so you have no authority here. So why should we listen to what you think about Paul?

Truth matters. Jesus is the truth. Anything convenient concepts that go against the preaching of the Lord got to be rejected. Because Jesus leads us to salvation, none others.

 

[Righttruth]

You don't accept the creed, the Scriptures or the rules of this forum, so you have no authority here. So why should we listen to what you think about Paul?

In that case, how can you accept the apostleship of Paul as per his own claim unsupported by Jesus and other witnesses?

The issue is totally different. How about you quoting in parallel to show similarity in James and Paul?

How about you read them and tell me what is the Royal law in James 2 and why is it that some were sick and others sleep in 1 Cor. 11.

 

[Strong in Him]

In that case, how can you accept the apostleship of Paul as per his own claim unsupported by Jesus and other witnesses?

It was Jesus who appeared to, and called, Paul, and the 12 who accepted him. This has all been written down by Luke, a historian, and inspired by the Holy Spirit.
But you don't accept it.

 

[Strong in Him]

Truth matters. Jesus is the truth.

Yes, and the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Scriptures to be written, is the Spirit of truth.
You don't know the truth because you don't believe the Scriptures or consider Paul's teaching to be important.

 

[mark kennedy]

What a self-glorification from a rank outsider!

Did you completely miss the point or just ignore it. Paul was accepted as the Apostle to the Gentiles by the 12 at Jerusalem.

 

[mark kennedy]

In that case, how can you accept the apostleship of Paul as per his own claim unsupported by Jesus and other witnesses?

It was confirmed with signs, miracles and mighty deeds for one. Jesus did call him on the road to Damascas as a matter of fact. What's more his Apostleship was confirmed by the Holy Spirit through the elders at Antioch of Syria. Do you even own a Bible?

 

[Micah888]

Where does it say that the appendix of the Gospel (anything after the Gospel books) got to be considered as Scripture?

Where does it say (outside of the Bible) that you should even read the Bible?

 

[Righttruth]

How about you read them and tell me what is the Royal law in James 2 and why is it that some were sick and others sleep in 1 Cor. 11.

The onus of proof is on you on similarity on two different chapters of two people

Read them and tell me what you think.

But you don't accept it.

Jesus called Paul a 'chosen vessel', not an apostle since He had called 12 already, and there is no way it can be increased. You are imagining things blindly! You don't have solid witnesses to your imaginations!

 

[Righttruth]

Yes, and the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Scriptures to be written, is the Spirit of truth.
You don't know the truth because you don't believe the Scriptures or consider Paul's teaching to be important.

Every writing is important. The Holy Spirit helps us to remember the words of Jesus. Anything that contradicts is not from the Holy Spirit but by person's spirit.

No point in imaginations! Show me by quoting the verses.

Just signs and miracles are not sufficient. Apostleship is different and discipleship is another thing. How about quoting the verse for your claim?
