1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | Taleb | 73855 | ||
Greg, for a quick minute I thought one of my relatives came back to life. We used to argue over these same matters. He also would pull verses out of context, ignoring the "opposite" verses. He would criticize me for not keeping the feasts, covering my head while praying and not facing Jerusalem when praying, etc. While he KNEW the book of Hebrews specifically denounced his logic (?) he refused to accept that writing because he claimed Paul was an unbeliever. All of Paul's epistles do give credence to the same truths that Tim and EdB have stated. While, so far, he was one of a few of my relatives who accepted the Lord's birth, ministry, death and resurrection, he also, by ignoring what the NEW Testament REALLY says (rather than, for what he wished it said), he lived and died in bondage to the LETTER of the law that Christ lived and died to set us free from. Interestingly, you are almost there. You wrote, "Pretend for a moment that Torah was a requirement". Greg, forget what the books say about the book. (I’ve got too many of the same books.) Read THE book. Read Hebrews out loud, and ask the Lord if what Hebrew says is really true, OR is what you want to believe true. (If you are honest with yourself, you will notice that BOTH can't be true, because they disagree with each other.) You may even notice how much the rest of Scripture “matches” the truths of Hebrews. Here’s my prayers, Taleb |

Hi Taleb, You do not have to believe Paul is an unbeliever to explain his writings. I ask you why do you think the following statement made its way into the Bible, realizing whom the author really is? 2Timothy 3:15 "...as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness." Sounds like he is trying to warn people not to misinterpret Paul's writings like others have in the past. This is no trivial event when you really think about it. That is what I see. What do you see? Note: The word wicked is Strong's 113 "athesmos" which means 'one who breaks through the restraint of law and gratifies his lusts' One truth-seeker to another, Greg Boone |

Greg, apparently, while I was typing up my “epistle” to you, our posts "crossed" in cyber-space. I don't want to think, I "ignored" this post here when I was preparing that one. You asked some legitimate questions. Looking forward to "continuing" our conversation another time, "cousin" :) Good-night, Taleb |
