Best that you start a thread on some topic you want to discuss and demonstrate your stated abilities to fend off opposing views, no?

I'll pray he lets Christ back into his heart. (I pray for your salvation, too, allsmiles.)
Chris look on the bright side.... think of all the hundreds of folks that register on TOL and are greeted with nary a whisper. You have got some attention... ain't it grand?

I certainly hope it's a silent prayer... I wouldn't want you wasting your breath :chuckle:
Why do you want me to be saved?
What specifically did Paul lie about? Or at least what do YOU think he lied about?

To keep you smiling
A better idea would be to pray that Dice-K continues throwing strikes.

ChatMaggot:
Many things, but I will point out one in particular. In Galatians 2:9-10 Paul recounts what he says the Jewish Christians - the ones who walked with Jesus and served with him as well as his actual brother James - said for him to do while he was traveling and preaching. Paul says they only told him to remember the poor - which Paul says he already had covered. But this not true at all. In Acts 15:19-21 Luke says they told him to preach four things: 1) Abstain from polluted idols 2) No fornication 3) No eating strangled animals and 4) from drinking blood. This would constitute works in Paul's gospel and so he lied.
He never mentions anything about the poor.
But the Galatians don't know that - do they?

Because I don't want you burning in Hell for eternity.

Small potatoes.
Paul didn't say anything in Galatians 2:9 about James being Jesus' actual brother. When he does refer to James as being "the brother of the Lord" he uses the word adelphos which is a generic term he uses elsewhere in his epistles without any hint of a blood connection. "Brother of the Lord" is a title that was ascribed to James, not an indication of his physical kinship with Jesus.
I thought you knew Greek?
It's a bit of an aside... don't let me distract you too much

Why not?
Are you serious? That was pathetic!
Can you come up with a better example of Paul lying than what you have presented?
ChrisGergen
New member
No its not pathetic. What say you?
Explain the difference?
Allsmiles - are you really under the impression James is not the half brother of Jesus? I do know Greek, and in this context (the verse in question) the Greek is an aside. I wasn't trying to assert James as Jesus Brother through this verse. If I had - you would be correct.

I think I had something like eight people walk through my introduction thread...and squeaky accounted for four of those... :think:Chris look on the bright side.... think of all the hundreds of folks that register on TOL and are greeted with nary a whisper.

Bitter? No, why?

That's because you didn't mention homos, abortion, the Obamessiah, or home schooling in your intro thread! :chuckle:

:squint: I'm afraid you're really not helping your claim of being "well educated" here. Textual critics generally do hold that Mark is the first Gospel but date it to post-70 AD, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Q-source (which is the name given to the material shared by Matthew and Luke, but not found in Mark). Textual critics generally date John to between 90-100AD, and there is much speculation and little consensus regarding it's authorship.
One may take issue with any of these (and I myself do on a couple of counts) but they represent the broad consensus of modern textual scholars and not accurately knowing them shows that you really need to re-visit your studies of the subject.
