Wasn't it Peter who told Jesus "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." which proves that Peter did not agree with Jesus

you missed all the discussion and took only one point? True, there is nothing to talk about

I asked a question that determines the whole basis for the rest of the discussion, and you answered it.

If we are going to discuss the Scriptures, but you do not consider Paul, or now apparently Peter, as reliable, I would like to know what else you consider unreliable so I can speak with you regarding that, or at least within that framework.

We can try again. Which books of the Bible do you consider inspired?

A) That's quite the new religion you've created for yourself.

B) this whole thing may be considered against the forum guidelines... I'm not entirely sure.

C) you seem to be operating from a common but incorrect understanding of submission. Submission places greater responsibility on the one being submitted to than the one submitting. And it is only required when the example being set lines up with Jesus example. Meaning submission is more about husband's than it is wives... And many fail.

D) I understand your frustration with how it appears women are being treated, but your going about the solution all wrong. I recently preached about women ministers and in ministry (endorsing it) and tackled the misconceptions around 1 Cor 14 and 1 Tim 2 head on, without throwing them or any other scriptures out in the process. If you are interested I can PM you the details, but I'm not going to post them here.

The 4 gospels. I believe that Jesus is the son of God, he assigned the disciples to spread the word and not to create a new doctrine. I believe that Paul and Peter are saints that died for the name of Jesus, but not to call what they said as "Christ" said. the holey spirit can give different messages to people depend in the environment and the situation they are in, only Jesus words are eternal and not limited by time or environment.

Why do you limit the words of Jesus to the four gospels? What about other gospel accounts?

And since Jesus did not write any of the books of the NT, is there a transmission issue as humans wrote the gospels?


What about the OT? Is all of it inspired? Which OT books do you consider canonical?

Thanks for your reply. I am not angry, I really think that Paul changed the Christianity. I believe Paul is a saint; but not each thing that he said is from the Holey Spirit and should be applied till the end of the world. what he wrote in his letters could be from the holey spirit for a specific culture, time or environment. Paul did not mean for his letters to become a bible. wouldn't it be enough to follow what Jesus taught us in the 4 gospels?
I would appreciate it you send me the details of your sermon on Jesuslovesusall@gmail.com
Thanks and God bless you

Well, you are wrong. It would take a great deal of discussion as to why the whole Bible is the Word of God and I don't have that much time. If you care to start a conversation with me, I will be happy to explain why. I am the teacher at our Bible School. I've been studying God's word for 48 years. That certainly does not mean I know everything or that I am infallible. I do have a reasonable basis for my assertions.

Paul and Peter are saints who died in the name of Jesus, what they said is for their time. Not everything they said is from the Holey Spirit, and if it was from the Holey Spirit, it was for a specific people at a specific time. Only Jesus words are for all people and till the end of days.
If everyone concentrate on Jesus's teachings which are very spiritual, they will lead more people to know and love him

Believing in Jesus is enough, but Jesus is God, Jesus is the Word. If we reject part of the Bible, we are rejecting part of Jesus. If we say that part of the Bible shouldn't be there we are saying God is powerful enough to create the universe, but not powerful enough to publish the book He desired.

Not if He has also asked us to also believe in those He sent. Which He has.

Matthew 10
I believe he was a saint, but I think what the Holey Spirit says depend on the situation and time. only what Jesus said is for all people and all times. I don't think even Paul planned or knew that his letters will become a bible and that he will be equal to Jesus who died for us

Do you accept the OT as inspired?

But Scripture disagrees.

Christ did call Peter. And Peter does call Paul's letters Scripture.

2 Peter 3:15-16.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. If it involves something of principle, it doesn't change. How we are to treat others, what is right and wrong, what is expected of us and what we can expect from God. That doesn't change, and that is primarily what the Bible is for. What kind of God would he be if He changed the rules based on culture?

When it is specific for an individual its obvious. God told Noah to build an ark, that doesn't mean we all have to. But the leasons from that story are for all of us. Paul's writings are just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. Many have just gotten the stuff on women upside down... Which is itself a symptom of the fall that God predicted would happen... But the truth is still in there... I'll send you my notes later, but I can't at the moment, my power is out and I can't do it from my phone.

The whole of the Bible is Gods Word.
There is no Jesus bible versus Paul's bible ALL was written by people who were inspired by GOD.
Anyone who does not believe this may as well throw it away. You believe it or you dont , you can't just pick out the bits that appeal to you.
2 Timothy3:16a
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God "

Paul was chosen by the Lord to be His instrument. Who are we to question God and who He chooses to work through?
Agreed.

And by the same token, who are we to twist and re-interpret the apostle's words to our own liking?

Please understand what our Lord was teaching in the Gospels:

Matthew 15:24
But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Our Lord ONLY addressed the Jews, not the gentiles. The gentiles became Paul's responsibility.
