  • 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.

THIS WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OTHER APOSTLE !

You do not have to take my word as when you read 2 Peter 3:15 and 16 explain why !!

#1 Even as our BELOVED brother Paul also according to the WISDOM given unto him HATH WRITTEN ( I believe it is Hebrews ) unto you !!

#2 Beginning in verse 16 , ALL / PAS in the ACTIVE CASE , and in the PLURAL

#3 And speaking in his EPISTLES / EPISTOLE , is in the DATIVE CASE , and in the PLURAL .

#4 In THEM / AUTOS , is a PERSONSAL POSSESSIVE PRONOUN in the DATIVE CASE in the PLURAL .

#5 THESE THINGS / TOUTON , is a DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN , in the GENTIVE CASE , in the NEUTER and is PLURAL

#6 ARE / ESTI , in the PRESENT TENSE , INDICATIVE MOOD and means that verse 16 is true , in the SINGULAR .

#7 Are HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD / DYSNOETO Iis in the NOMINATIVE CASE , means the subject of the verse , in the PLURAL , and is in the NEUTER which means either , male or female .

#8 That they that are UNLEARNED / AMATHES , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , and is PLURAL .

#9 ARE UNSTABLE / ASTERIKTOS , also in the NOMINATIVE CASE , and PLURAL .

#10 WREST / STREBLOO in the Greek PRESENT TENSE , ACTIVE VOICE , INDICATIVE MOOD is a FACT and PLURAL

#11 THE / HO , DEFINITE ARTICLE that is pointing that they are always WRESTING all other scriptures , unto there own DESTRUCTION .

Why do we follow Paul , 1 Cor 11:1 says to be IMITATORS of him , just as I also am of Christ '

I don't know why any of that would make Paul more important than any of the other Apostles. There were Christians who lived and died without ever knowing who Paul was.

And you disagree with 2 Peter 3:15 ?

Why did PAUL's message important , and Eph 3:9 tells why !

To ILLUMINARE all as to what the DISPENSATION of the MYSTERY the one having been kept SECRET from the ages in God , the ONE having created THE ALL THINGS/ TA PANTA by Jesus Christ .

Romans 16:25 and also verse 26 , having been made known to all the GENTILES and known why , FOR THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH .

This is just the beginning of where began salvation by GRACE !!

Salvation by grace has been the teaching of the gospel since the beginning of Christianity. Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins...". It is by grace that those sins were forgiven. The unmerited favor of God. That is the same message Paul preached, see Ephesians 2:1-10.

#1 What does the word CHRISTAN / CHRISTIANOS mean ?

#2 Where does it say that Acts 2:38 , is the beginning of Christianity

#2 If Christianity began in Acts 2:38 , how was Peter saved ?

#3 How was Adam and Eve saved ?

#4 If Acts 2:38 is the way to salvation , to REPENT , explain why Jesus was BAPTIZED by John in Matt 3:15 !
John 1:31 ?

#5 How were Adam and Eve , saved ?

It doesn't say anywhere that Christianity began at Acts 2:38. And I don't know how you reached that conclusion. And I don't understand why you are comparing the baptism of Jesus with Acts 2:38.

I think I am going to believe Paul not you "For I am the least [worthy] of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I [at one time] fiercely oppressed and violently persecuted the church of God"

Salvation is always by God's grace.

But works were still required from Israel at Acts 2, otherwise they will not be able to maintain their salvation to the end (1 Peter 1:9 which says the same as Matthew 24:13)

In Acts 9:13 Ananias answered , Lord , I have heard from many concerning this man , how many evils he did to Your saints in Jerusalem ,

And in verse 15 And the Lord said to him , Go , because this man is a vessel of CHOOSING for ME , the one to bear My name before GENTILES , and kings , and sons of Israel .

SINCE Israel has rejected Him , Christ is turning to the GENTLIES .
