A truly stupid statement Danoh. Go back to comprehension 101. I said the MAD/D'ist uses his own categories over those of scripture, IMPLYING THAT SCRIPTURE IS FULL OF ENOUGH OF THEM TO BE HAD.
So many of your comments are dis-eased with put downs first; think later. Please try to find things to agree on; this is, after all, the one faith of Christ. Sheesh.
O quit being such a baby - take as strongly as you yourself often harshly give.
And A9D's organizing statements / organizing principles / frames of reference are...all...based on Scripture's Own.
It is is, you dunce, why we repeatedly quote passages identifying organizing principles.
Case in point, you incompetent, in the following exchange between a Gentile women and Himself, His answer to her in verses 24 and 26 are a statement by Him to her about the very basis of His ministry in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
It is an organizing statement or principe describing the overall frame of reference or outlook behind His every Word and Action throughout those four accounts: duh - uh.
Matthew 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 15:24
But he answered and said, I am
not sent
but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 15:26
But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Only when she responded from within said frame of reference - that Israel is above all the nations of the Earth (as was then still the case) did He bless her.
And I am posting out this based on the operating statement, organizing principle, overall frame of reference, or outlook on this that was first noted by Moses, about that, in the following...
Deuteronomy 4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 4:7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Interplanner, it's time you put away your endless books "about" and get in THE BOOK...
