1 | Churchianity to be answered: | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman | 7923 | ||
Steve Butler: "Radioman ... it is by implication." Radioman speaks: "It is by implication?" No, it isn't. It may be by the infallible inference of one who was "correct most of the time." However, no such implication is made anywhere in that entire chapter of Acts. Remedial reading: The Bereans corrected Paul and he accepted it? Where does it say that in Acts 17:11? Notice, the question is not 'where does it IMPLY that?' The question is 'where does it SAY that?' By what stretch of the imagine do you take "they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" to mean they corrected Paul and he accepted it? You have a real knack for changing the subject, ignoring the question, and then answering new and different questions that you made up. |

It does not SAY it anywhere. My question to you is, how did Paul know they were checking him out? |

You're absolutely right this time: "It does not SAY it anywhere." It sure doesn't. Your question about checking Paul out is totally incomprehensible. Again, who said or where does it say in Acts that "they" were checking Paul out? To quote Hank: "Steve, from what version of Acts...were you able to infer that ["they were checking him out]?...What are you saying and what do you mean to say?" I say again: You have a real knack for changing the subject, ignoring the question, and then asking/answering new and different questions that you made up. |

What does "they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" mean? In the NIV it says "to see if what Paul said was true". Both give the same meaning. I'll let you answer YES, NO or DON'T KNOW ... 1. Does this mean they were checking what Paul said? 2. Did they tell Pual they were checking him out? 3. Was Paul always right? 4. If he was wrong, dis he accept what they said? 5. Do you know where Paul talks about false teachers? ... if so, what did he say to do to them? Again, I say it is by implication. |

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. About the essentials of the Christian faith? I hope so, since a good chunk of the New Testament has his name on the by-line. I hold that his words in the epistles were divinely superintended rather than brought about by convincing arguments from other infallible people. 4. "If he was wrong"? Where do we ever get the slightest hint from Acts 17 that the Bereans proved Paul wrong about anything? They examined his words in light of the Scriptures, and -- surprise -- it checked out! Therefore, many became believers. That is all he wrote. 5. Yes, and I also know what Peter wrote about them in 2 Peter 2. Much more colorful, in my opinion. Still, I don't know where this question fits into your argument. What we have here is an extreme leap in logic. Examination does not equal correction. If I come to you and insist that sinners are saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, and then you go examine my claims for yourself in the Bible, does that mean I am wrong? --Joe! |
