Dude where are you getting this?And so they put it on the same level as God.
Indeed, but then again there is this:God's words and teachings are infallible. We find His infallible words and teachings in Holy Scriptures. It is why we call the Bible Holy Scriptures because only God is Holy, Holy, Holy.
Thanks.I like what you wrote. If this was a thread in Romans 8 and walking in the Spirit and not the flesh, you would have a home run here.
Except for how you deciphered that they are inspired and Holy. See if you can do that without using circular reasoning.
The Jews were going to stone Jesus for "making himself God." Jesus is reminding them that God called men gods (Psalm 82:6).Then you don't understand me well at all, infallibility is not the same thing as immutable.
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’ ? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and the Scripture cannot be broken — then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? (John 10:34-36)So what is the Lord saying there?
We agree that the words of the Lord are infallible. It is in defining the words of the Lord we disagree. I believe the words of the Lord are when God and Jesus are directly quoted.God's words and teachings are infallible. We find His infallible words and teachings in Holy Scriptures. It is why we call the Bible Holy Scriptures because only God is Holy, Holy, Holy.
That's right, indeed the term Elohim could be applied to God Almighty, or a priest or a judge, that much is true. But Jesus explains they were called 'god' not because they were equal with God but because the word of God came to them. You understand that right?The Jews were going to stone Jesus for "making himself God." Jesus is reminding them that God called men gods (Psalm 82:6).
Your post says "Scripture alone is where we find the rule of faith" but you need a definition of what is and what is not scripture. .
I believe the Word of the Lord is when God and Jesus are directly quoted. You believe that the entire Bible is the Word of the Lord, apparently. I doubt if we are going to change each other's mind any time soon.Dude where are you getting this?
If I write you a letter those are my words. Of course someone can say yep those are the words of Redleg. The actual ink and paper are not me but what was communicated by me in the letter is mine.
You could wave the letter and say "hey redleghunter wrote to me, let's read what he says about the abysmal season the Texas Rangers are having."
What about the great commission? Jesus ordered the apostles to teach whatever He commanded. They can do this without directly quoting the Lord. For example, the Lord never spoke about circumcision, yet we know the apostles teach us that we dont need to be circumcised.We agree that the words of the Lord are infallible.

I agree with the part that men aren't equal to God. As for the part about the word of God coming to them, that never occurred to me. It's always seemed like a strange thing for the Lord to say, though maybe he was looking ahead to the day Jesus would walk the earth and be accused of making himself God.That's right, indeed the term Elohim could be applied to God Almighty, or a priest or a judge, that much is true.

Well, the Lord did teach many things that aren't found in the Bible (John 21:25), but I know not to put my hand on a hot stove, even though it isn't mentioned in the Bible.What about the great commission? Jesus ordered the apostles to teach whatever He commanded. They can do this without directly quoting the Lord.

The Bible, as we know it, hadn't even been created when Jesus walked the earth.Jesus said that the Bible is the Word of God and condemned any and all attempts to delete/edit/ignore it in Mark 7:6-13 beginning with "in vain do they worship Me..."
Here are the Lord’s words. He said that they all were gods, not just those who had received the word:It's in the text, the reason they were called gods, which is Elohim, was because they had received the word of God:
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’ ? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and the Scripture cannot be broken — then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God? (John 10:34-36)
The same was said of Moses, who was by the way, from the tribe of Levi:
Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. (Exodus 7:1)So you understand the point Jesus was making was with regards to the fact that they had received, and were called to deliver, the word of God?
The Old Testament had been, the early church didn't need a canon of Scripture when the Apostles were with them. It's when they started losing Apostles that the New Testament as a written collection became necessary.The Bible, as we know it, hadn't even been created when Jesus walked the earth.
I was unaware of that.The Galatians didnt know to keep their hands off a hot stove.
But I didn't see anything in Mark 7:6-13 that suggested to me that Paul had the authority of the Lord.The Old Testament had been, the early church didn't need a canon of Scripture when the Apostles were with them. It's when they started losing Apostles that the New Testament as a written collection became necessary.
