Paul was taught by Christ. Peter was taught by Christ and affirmed Paul's teachings were scripture. So, they are from God himself.

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.

As I said, that is your opinion about Scripture and you are welcome to it. Other Christians' mileage may vary. They have opinions, too, just as good as yours. Remember, you don't own the Bible and aren't in a position to dictate to others what they must believe about it.

Or I could stay and not give anymore money. See, its a choice. One we don't have with the government.
And with the governemnt no matter how often we vote for new representatives. Nothing changes. Thats the difference between rhat and a local church. Volunteer giving. And the ability to actually make a change. With an all encompassing federal government we have neither the ability to voluntarily give nor make any significant alterations. Since we did vote for someone to do that and he got sued six ways to Sunday to stop going after the fraud waste and abuse.
Its something the progressives love to do. Totally waste money so they can feel better.

I never shared an opinion about it, just quoted what it says.
Opinions are useless where the scriptures are concerned. The truth of God's word is not opinion based. That is what is wrong when it comes to some of these topics. This is how we get the cherry picking. It is my opinion that I like this scripture so I will use it and I dont like that scripture so I won't use that one. We see a lot of "I believe is this scripture, but I don't believe in that one".
If you are doing that you are wrong. Yes, I believe in ALL of it. The parts I like, the parts I dont like.
God owns the Bible. Its His word. He is rhe one that says we must believe in it. ALL of it. Not just the parts we want to while rejecting the parts we don't want to believe.

So much for the dietary laws, mixed fiber clothes, and gathering sticks on Saturdays being "nailed to the cross".

If you don't understand the word of God you should ask rather than show that you don't.
I would be happy to have this discussion with you if that is what you really want.

He's teasing you as well.
No, he posted that we must believe all of the Bible, not just the parts we like. I pointed out some parts that a majority don't follow. If he is willing to learn biblical Hebrew, I will be happy to be "schooled" in God's words.

You do? If you do you wouldn't use only certain parts of it as a justification for governmental law while not wanting other parts to used as justification for governmental law.
It seems to me you only want certain parts to be enforced. Thats not real belief in all of it.
The fact you think its a political manifesto, or at least part of it is, the part you want to be, is evidence you really dont believe all of it. Because if you did you would want the greatest commandment enforced by government and not just the second.
Scripture is NOT a political manifesto. For anyone. Including me. Using it in that way diminishes it and its message and purpose.

I don't want any part of it used as a justification for government law--except as it influences the opinions of the individual voter.
I want the government to enforce its laws, period. It's not the business of government to enforce any part of the Bible.
I don't want either commandment to be enforced by the government.
So you never make any biblical arguments against, say, gay marriage? Or welfare? Almost every political argument you make goes back to the Gospel according to Paul.

Actually, it's alledgedly Peter who said it. Paul just thought he was writing letters of advice to his various congregations. What Peter actually said was, "...just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him" which actually undercuts the notion that Paul's words were actually God's words. It doesn't help that while Peter's authorship of 1 Peter is regarded as established, the authorship of 2 Peter in which that quote occurs has been debated since antiquity.
