Folks, scoring etc. is not really necessary. If we expect Payattention to be courteous we should too. I have failed to in the past, and it doesn't help my cause. So please keep the posts addressed to his logic.
I got this from your unwillingness to take direct statements from Paul. You have done it at least three times. But then you use incidents from Paul's life, or his teaching when it fits your criteria. If you argument is that he seems dimly, why would you feel it safe to take anything from him?
And you have still failed to say why you feel you don't see dimly.
Paul did not commend the Bereans for testing his teaching against the facts revealed in the natural order, which is your method. He asked them to test his teachings against the Scriptures, because he held them to be authoritative.
payattention said:I don't know where you got this . Please deal with what I say not what I sound like. It is possible my ideas will sound like someone you have heard before. Don't assume we share the same philosophy. Can you do me that favor?
Paul commended the Bereans for taking the same posture. Why should you object to it?
