Wallis,
This reply concerns no one except those keenly interested in Biblical precepts - core, fundamental Christian precepts at that, and is directed specifically to yourself because of the comments you have made in this thread. Period.
First of all, you give me far too much credit, and say things that I have never, ever attributed to myself - which is a thinly veiled ad hominem. I appreciate the vote of confidence, bit I am far, far from infallible. Yet, I reserve the right to respond in kind.
Regarding your posts on this topic, I do know false teaching and false Biblical doctrine when I see it. I also notice that you still have utterly failed to address those specific issues I directed for you to resolve for the sake of your own comments in this thread.

But, excuse me. I am not in error.
Well then, get on with it already - show me and all other readers that you are not in error. Respond to the specific, directed questions I posed to you to prove your point.
That means come back in your next post to this thread with Biblical narrative which supports your contentions - which less we forget by all of your huffing, puffing and non-Biblical dissumulations is actually quite concise and easy to identify...
i.e.:
Quote:
Name one passage where Jesus Christ refutes, criticizes or belittles the Biblical narrative (i.e.: the Old Testament) which predated His appearance on Earth?
Show us the Bible verse which disproves this. I quote the Bible above to back up my theology - TIME FOR YOU TO DO THE SAME.
I guarantee all that you cannot possibly support non-Biblical precepts utilizing Biblical quotes.
So, let's go already Wallis, BRING IT ON!!!

And, this is not the forum for proving or disproving the Bible.
Hey, a gentle clue and a hint for you here Wallis - I AM MAKING IT ONE!!!
You made some Biblical commentary - I am therefore hard-pressing you to back up your commentary with BIBLICAL PROOFS OF YOUR POSITION.
Simple as that my brother.

I have posted elsewhere on the Internet other views (especially archaeological) regarding certain "events" that supposedly occurred or were reported in the Bible. I have decided not to repeat those posts here simply for others to pooh-pooh the sources; it would be just as easy for me to pooh-pooh the source twice or thrice quoted above (and I am familiar with this site).
Well, if this is tantamount to admitting that you won't provide proof of your statement in this forum for fear of them being shot down in flames - well, golly gee, let's all walk over the the nearest corner, pout and suck our little thumbs.
Number 1: if your sources are non-Biblical - YEAH, ROGER - I will shoot that nonsense down in flames quicker than you can say your own name.
Number 2: It will not be just as easy for you to "pooh-pooh" my source because my source will by the Holy Bible. Period. See what I have to say below about any pooh-poohing of the Biblical narrative, and catch an advance clue as to how I will respond.

The original question posited that "because it is in the Bible, it must be true." Whether or not peope wish to believe this is a matter of faith by the individual. It has no bearing on salvation.
If you publicly deny the words and testimony of Jesus Christ - yes, I am so sorry to have to inform you, it most certainly does have a bearing on your salvation. Need I post Biblical chapter and verse on this as well? Don't you already have enough on your plate to address?
Again...

There is a mistake here, though: to equate the Old and New Testaments as equals.
To which i responded and steadfastly maintain that the massive mistake here is yours and yours alone. Jesus Christ maintained the writing of the Old Testament as valid, in fact, He specifically relates the Old Testament as inspired of and by Himself prior to taking on human form. He used the text of the Old Testament to validate the multiple prophecies of His own coming, as well as His Second Coming.
In other words - your theology is radically flawed, you are denying the testimony of Jesus Christ about Himself and the Word of the Father.
Whether you realize this or not - the proper terms for such public enunciations are heresy and blasphemy - and I am publicly rebuking you for this as directed by the Word of God which I have quoted to you verbatim in my post above this one.

You may rant and rave at me all you want. That is not only your right but your freedom to do so.
You are confusing "rant and rave" with what I have specifically pointed out to you is the Bibilical need for the rebuke. It is my Christian duty to do so specifically per the Biblical adminitions I have related.

But to demand a conformity to your view or any other view as a condition or prerequisite to salvation is not a right
I am not demanding conformity to my particular view. I habe never stated that this is the case at all - and it is disingenuous, in fact - a redirection and dissimulation to suggest that I stated such a thing. I DiD NOT!!!
I am demanding that you back up your theology -allegedly Christian theology - with chapter and verse from the Bible as its basis in fact.
That is the bottom line. Period.
