    The Close-minded Christian: A Serious Spiritual Problem?

    I think you have the right to be proud of your accomplishments in motivating others to succeed. I don't think you are being confrontational. Besides isn't this forum supposed to be about controversial topics? Go for it.

    No ...I would be very wary of David.

    How should we read Paul?

    I think you are asking me why I think Paul changed to join the Christian movement. Here is a clue..... 1 Corinthians 9:9-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He? 10...

    How should we read Paul?

    You wrote...4. The reason you are hoping for the true Messiah to come is because you are just like those jews in Jesus days that was looking for a conquering Savior and the physical KOH and forgot the spiritual KOG in their hearts. Do you think you know what is going on in my mind?

    How should we read Paul?

    You wrote.....""3. The jews were astounded at how he taught the Torah and the authority he used. He accomplished plenty for all mankind and is the reason that he is the all time champion of Love. OK...so tell me what Jesus accomplished for all mankind.

    How should we read Paul?

    Another reason why Isaiah 53 is not about Jesus Isaiah 53:10 King James Version (KJV) 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall...

    How should we read Paul?

    Let's take a peak at Isaiah 53..... Isaiah 53:3 (New American Standard Bible) 3He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Do you think that description fits Jesus? I...

    How should we read Paul?

    Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. Did Jesus do this? NO! But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove...

    How should we read Paul?

    Why are you always interested in me and not in my theological presentations? I am irrelevant to this discussion. Focus on the Scriptural messages i have posted.

    The Close-minded Christian: A Serious Spiritual Problem?

    I think it is a great asset if one is willing to change their mind. I used to be a traditional Christian. I defended the status quo against all comers. But then I was chosen to lead a Bible Study at my church. I wanted to do a good job so I literally spent several hour each week studying and...

    How should we read Paul?

    I think you know I am correct but you have too much invested in the status quo to correct your theology.

    How should we read Paul?

    I don't think that there is enough credible evidence to believe in Paul's Damascus Road experience. I have pointed out that Paul was a murderer, that he was an unrepentant murderer. I have pointed out that Paul was a liar. Would you believe a lying murderer? I don't.
