2 | Where is the Scripture? | 1 Cor 15:3 | Infinity700 | 233517 | ||
Hello Azure, I am taken back from your post. For some unknown reason to me, you seem to believe I said others were unkind to me. Maybe you should provide evidence of this claim. You also seem to believe that I made unfair accusations against the forum. Maybe you should provide evidence of this claim, as well. Here is what I did say. Upon reviewing the requirements for posting, I came to the realization that I was in the wrong forum, that my queries were not appropriate for this forum. I stated that the forum serves a particular clientele. So, I apologized and stated that I would not return, but would seek a more appropriate forum to satisfy my needs. I was not upset at the forum or anyone who posted. Nor am I upset now. Yes, I was disappointed. After all, I was in the wrong forum. I am not upset with you, Azure, for your criticism of me. However, until you present evidence of such, I shall be puzzled by your accusations. I remain in God's peace and hope you shall be where I am -- in his peace. God bless you, Azure Infinity700 |

Hello EdB, Thanks for your sincere response and good ideas. I appreciate them. Yes, I am disappointed, but I did not realize how restrictive the forum is. I now recognize that it is established for a specific clientele. Although the forum claims to be open to teachers and scholars, yet postings must not “oppose the Bible's sole authority.” That’s quite a stretch, knowing human nature. To assume this axiom, the originals and copies and redactions and translations over the past 2000 years would all have to be divinely inspired. Otherwise, we don’t have a divinely inspired Bible for today. I had previously proposed another possibility to the dilemma of verses 3 and 4, which no one has responded to. Here goes again: Throughout his epistles, Paul boasts that he only received his gospel through divine revelation from God, Spirit, or Jesus Christ. He did not get it from any person, including Jesus’ disciples. Paul writes in Ephesians 3:5, “which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men”. Therefore, if it was not made known, it could not have been put in a written form. That leaves me with this conclusion: Paul did not write verses 3 and 4. They may have been added by a well-intentioned redactor later on, thinking he was strengthening Paul’s claim. Anyway, I choose not to interfere with the intended clientele. I am simply not a surface-thinker and this forum is not for me. Don’t worry, I’m fine and will search elsewhere. I do truly appreciate your concern. Jesus said, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.” (John 13:35) God bless you, Infinity700 |

5 | Where is the Scripture? | 1 Cor 15:3 | Infinity700 | 233468 | ||
Here is Hosea 6:1-2. "Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence." Notice the word 'us'. This passage is about the hope that God will soon revive his people, not about God raising his messiah from death some time in the future. As for Isaiah 53, the Jewish understanding is that the Messiah is a reference to the righteous Jews who shall suffer for the well-being of all the people. This makes sense when you read about how the Messiah was so disfigured, etc. This refers to the state of affairs of the Jews. This chapter does not address my question regarding the Scripture of which Paul spoke. As for a paradigm shift of starting with Paul's statement, that is what I have done. And it has led be to my question. Putting myself in Paul's shoes, I find this passage in 1 Cor. 15 to go against everything he has said about his Source. And no one has commented upon that issue yet. Still looking for meaningful responses. God Bless, Infinity700 |

6 | Where is the Scripture? | 1 Cor 15:3 | Infinity700 | 233443 | ||
Thanks for your response, Doc. Having researched many, many Christian sites on-line, every single site stated there was no such scripture, but then proceeded to spew out a litany of outrageous attempts to defend Paul’s claim. In verse 4, Paul continues, “that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”. Again, there is no basis for this claim – a claim which is quite specific – “on the third day”. I’m interested in and perplexed by the quotes, not only because they don’t exist, but also because they conflict with Paul’s major theme of revelation. In his epistles, Paul consistently acknowledges his Source. Everything is revealed to him by the Spirit. (Galatians 1:11-12) “For I want you to know, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed and made known by me is not man’s gospel [a human invention, according to or patterned after any human standard]. For indeed I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through a [direct] revelation [given] by Jesus Christ (the Messiah).” The phrase, “nor was I taught it”, implies to me that it was not in written form. That is, he also did not learn it from reading the Scriptures. In the following passage, this is reaffirmed in the phrase, “was never disclosed to human beings in past generations”, which to me implies again that it was not written down. Rather, Paul concludes, “it has now been revealed … by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:3-5): “[And] that the mystery (secret) was made known to me and I was allowed to comprehend it by direct revelation, as I already briefly wrote you. When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. [This mystery] was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles (consecrated messengers) and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit.” You wrote: “The Lord Jesus Christ is on every page of Scripture.” I’m certain you are being most serious, but, I’m sorry -- I don’t know how to response to this! And I know I have spewed out a bunch of stuff. Forgive me if it’s not appropriate and/or if you are not interested in such an exploration into the unknown mysteries of the Gospel. God Bless, Infinity700 |

8 | Explain Lamentations 4:10-11 | Lam 1:8 | Infinity700 | 225410 | ||
I spent a lot of time responding to your questions, only to be told to go back and state whether this is a question or a note. Returning, I found everything deleted. I now realize the Holy Spirit is guiding me to forget this avenue of expression for they don't want to hear you. I have better things to do. I shall not be back. | ||||||

12 | Explain inaccuracy of | Amos 9:15 | Infinity700 | 224122 | ||
I don't sense any compassion for the Jewish families who were uprooted from their homes. If you were a Jewish citizen exiled from your nation Isreal, would you buy into such a metaphysical interpretation? Or would you angrily claim Amos to be a false prophet? I'm sure Amos was intending to encourage his community with hope. | ||||||
