in saying Peter is wrong about resurrection, when that’s the whole point of his sermon, you’re not only calling Luke a liar, but saying we can’t trust scripture unless it agrees with your interpretation. That’s a very dangerous position to take, my friend. Instead, we should always be willing...

Are you not a Trinitarian? Revelation 2:5 (KJV) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Revelation 2:16 (KJV) Repent; or else I will come unto...

We throw this word around quite a bit. I thought it would be a good thing to discuss. From Cambridge Dictionary: the power or authority to rule From Encyclopedia Brittanica: Sovereignty, in political theory, the ultimate overseer, or authority, in the decision-making process of the state and in...

Who are your people?

Peter talked about David’s current state, how is still dead and buried and is not ascended. If you are unwilling to see that, then your presuppositions have clouded your eyes to the scripture. You need to let go of false doctrine. Acts 2:29 (KJV) Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you...

I'm surprised to see that you subserve the Spirit of God to Calvin. Free will is not the same thing as "the flesh". Free will is merely a statement of how God made us. Free will is merely a necessity for relationship. Free will is a component of worship. The flesh is sinful. Of itself...

That’s a winner post, if I ever saw one! Calvinism at its finest! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, he most obviously was. And you admitted as much when you said Peter was wrong. Acts 2:34 (KJV) For David is not ascended into the heavens...

Obviously that’s not what Barnabas was saying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only if time stopped at that point. God is still working, and there is still a resurrection to come. David’s hope is still alive, even if David is still “dead and buried” as Peter said. “Many bodies of the saints arose”, but not all. Peter tells us David was not one of those. I appreciate...

I guess you’re also ok with salvation by works, as Barnabas said this: This is the way of life, either labouring by means of the word and proceeding to exhort, and practising to save the soul by the word, or thou shalt work by thy hands for the redemption of thy sins.

I have another point to add. Paul explains to the Thessalonians that they needn’t worry about there loved ones who have already died, because they will be resurrected before we who are alive and remain, but they haven’t yet been. The interesting thing is the part where he says to “comfort one...

Maybe I can help @timtofly out here. If Peter describes David’s words as speaking about the resurrection, and David wasn’t yet resurrected at the time of Peter’s message, then his soul was still “left to Hades”.

Perhaps you didn’t mean it quit like you wrote, but in fact it wasn’t “written” by God at all, except a few select portions (like the 10 commandments, and the handwriting on the wall). It was written by men to other men, though inspired by God. And it wasn’t always written to God’s children...

You’ve made a lot of statements you have little evidence for, except your own presuppositions, which are not worthy of presenting publicly without a more reliable source. But even the other evidence you presented, from the gospel of Barnabas, speaks against your position, as you admitted...

Actually, he did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, but are you allowing God to have His say in what it means? What if another believer does the same, but you both come up with different meanings? Seems like one of you might be wrong (or both). Well, at least not someone else’s hermeneutics. It’s difficult not to advocate your own...

I think both are important, and one may inform the other. Is there hope without a bodily resurrection? Paul didn’t think so 1 Corinthians 15:19 (KJV) If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:26 (KJV) The last enemy [that] shall be...

Your reasoning, which is similar to that of many, seems to rest mainly on that phrase, “in the day”. Yet that kind of phrasing is used numerous times in the Bible, so we can glean information about its meaning elsewhere in scripture. But the best comparison would be its use by the same author...

You’re assuming it’s a bad thing. Perhaps the food, with our angelic metabolism, makes what comes out more valuable than what went in. I’m guessing gold, since that’s what the streets are made of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
