Before anyone shoots me down, hear me out first:
The Apostles made a lot of mistakes when Jesus was around with them. They even made mistakes after Jesus was crucified. You can read these in the Bible so no need for me to put them here to keep my thread as short as possible.
And then they recieved the Holy Spirit. Does this make them infallible? Based on the results we see today, even with our best Spirit-filled Christians, the answer would be NO.
And then we actually visit their teachings in their epistles (in the Bible) which left the majority confused....If nobody believes me, just look around the many denominations in Christianity who don't agree with many subjects in the Gospel. That's hard enough proof for everyone.
The only reason why any Christian would do a "Hard Settle" on their denomination and belief and shut off their mind entirely to the possibility they might be wrong, is the assumption that the Apostles are infallible.... However, facts and closer inspection doesn't support this assumption.
Our leaders (except for Christ) made errors or the ones listening to them who eventually wrote their pieces misinterpreted them.
Ironically, the writings on the Bible concerning the "wicked generation", a considerable portion of them are actually Christians, based on the outcome of their actions.
How it is possible for anyone to be saved but act and behave like the wicked generation? Is absurd on so many levels. Does not make any sense to sound reasoning. If anyone thinks "sound reasoning" is a bad thing, is in for a suprise, the Bible does teach about using sound reasoning.
Many have not discerned the Bible correctly and thus, fails to understand it.
