Laugh out loud. Please show me the bones of Noah. Perhaps he's alive as well. Since you can't provide them, he might just be alive...[emoji849]

The purpose of Hebrews 11 is to get to Hebrews 12. Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder...

Your quote of the verse has nothing to do with the topic. You butchered the scriptures to abuse it as a prooftext. One just wonders how you could twist it so badly in your attempt to discuss healing or monetary wealth accumulation.

Can you prove John is walking among us as a 2000 year old man?

A Christian, chosen by God who is a child of the King. No sect, no denomination, but fully adopted and loved by the Father. My faith is gifted to me by my Father and is rooted deeply in His Word which surpasses all human traditions in a church organizational structure. Time for you to pull...

Does God give his love to all humanity? Does God give His love or is God Love? There is a distinction. My answer: God does not give His love to all humanity. God is Love. God chose to love those who believe throughout the whole world, within all of time. Thus, when John says "For God so loved...

Not all tradition is Godward. Paul is Godward. Rome...not so much. In fact, I say that Rome has no connection to Christ anymore. It's traditions are perverted twists from scripture.

So let's look at the passage you quote. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruitsto be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. To this he called you through our...

I think this was addressed by AustinC earlier, but your comment above states God gave the gift of himself to humanity. Where do we find God telling us that He is a gift to humanity? Austin laid out the gifts God tells us He gave us. Are you trying to make a philosophical connection that Paul's...

Not at all. However, I note that you are making a distinction between a little a, apostle and a big A, Apostle. I can live with a generic, little a, apostle that merely fits the general greek meaning. John Piper states:

Wow, talk about ignoring the entire context of the letter to the Hebrews and the faith chapter. You have provided to us a perfect example of a person with an agenda who takes a sentence in the Bible out of context as proof that his agenda has legitimacy. It is an utter waste of energy to argue...

I read my Bible. I know you have no documentation that Jesus directly commissioned others outside of the Bible as Apostles. God has given evangelists who spread out across the world. This is biblical. No bias involved.

Where does the Bible say that scripture is tradition? Answer...it doesn't. You have made an illegitimate assertion. The Bible is the inspired word of God. That's much different than tradition. Better go watch Fiddler on the Roof again, utilyan.

None of these verses even remotely relate to what you claimed. Did you just open the Bible randomly and quote?

You just changed your assertion with your present statement. God created humans and all that is in existence. Is God a gift? If so, is there specific scripture that declares God as a gift to humans? How would we know God was a gift to humans without God telling us? Is God the gift or is His...

Adonia, you are adding a "central authority." Which central authority? Paul? Peter? John? Thomas? Barnabas? Phillip? Which one? The entire "central authority" concept is a control teaching of your denomination. It's no different than the scare tactics of Islam, Mormonism or Jehovah's Witness.

Ironic that you quote scripture when you're all about tradition...

Well that settles it. The Holy Church at Jerusalem is the Real Church!!! [emoji849]

Are you a neuro-scientist, utilyan? I doubt it. You're coming across as a person who has watched the Matrix one too many times.

Please show the documentation where Jesus came to them and told them they were commissioned by Him to spread the gospel. The onus is upon you to show this. Otherwise, I claim that God gave them both the gift of evangelism and teaching. Just because a person goes into an unreached area that does...
