Bible Note: Hi, Jer... Sure. Two simple questions. The first is just a syllogism verifying your root premise: (1) You have stated that the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) was a command given none but the apostles (post #241552 , #241559, and #241562). Christ commanded the apostles to teach the newly made disciples (v19) "to observe all that I commanded you [the apostles]" (v20). If your premise is true, then you must contend that Christ meant "all commands" with the except for this final commission. Do I understand this to be your conclusion? The second is a request to identify the source of the teaching you espouse: (2) Which congregation or Bible scholar or teacher is the source of the perspective that you have expressed in the posts previously mentioned?
