    How did the early church view "Peter as the rock"?

    All the 10,000 manuscripts, early and late include the Gospel of Matthew and all parts of it. No false teachers included any of it. The only variations are minor ones that do not affect the teachings and history of the Bible. Where is your proof that false teachers included anything in the Bible?

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Arguing from silence in any literature is a bogus argument. You speak as if Nicodemus' authorship of Matthew is a fact. No, it's just your unproven theory that will never be proven. The four authors of the gospels included and excluded details and events with the purpose of meeting their...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    No, share the good news and let God do the rest!

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    Many of us Calvinists believe that God is, of course, able to save everyone and that he has a very good reason for not doing it, but he has not revealed that reason to us, as he hasn't with many biblical mysteries.

    A blessed Christmas: the birth of Jesus, the God-baby!

    May all of you have God's blessings today through Jesus, who was all-God and all-human!

    Adam and Eve

    Well, God kicked them out of the garden because they did something wrong, that is, disobeying his specific command about the fruit of that tree that he knew would cause them to be controlled by evil.

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    No, look at all the prophetic books, in which they say that "the word of the LORD" came to so-and-so. And 2 Peter 1:16-21 seems to contradict your ideas. After all, the prophets beginning with Moses wrote the Old Testament: 2Pe 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made...

    How did the early church view "Peter as the rock"?

    Are you saying, JustTheFacts, that this part of Matthew is lying to us by saying that Jesus said it? If you're right (and I disagree with you), aren't you taking away from Scripture's inspiration and possibly saying that God was lying to us by arriving at that conclusion? Interestingly, it would...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, I do think I agree with you, friend! :p

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    With what theology that Christians focus on do you disagree? I'm curious; I guess that's my fault in having a writer's curiosity. I look at the results of your analyzing and concluding; and after a lifetime of focusing on biblical interpretation after being an English teacher and then a pastor...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    In your first sentence, you did not tell us the passage in which the Pharisees confronted Jesus with the two verses in Deuteronomy to give us Jesus' exact response, which we needed to evaluate your interpretation. Quote exactly what he said, please. By the way, the first reference is about...

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    Frank, I too want to go the Bible to find out what it says, not what people say from their own reasoning. Here are a couple passages for you: Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Rom 8:29 For...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    Brightfame52, please consider the contexts of the verses you use, since the verses around them often points to a different interpretation. The most obvious example is the last one you use. In the conversations between Job and his so-called "friends," Job and his friends all have a false theology...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    I agree with you, Lanman87! As near as we agree with the assumptions, history, and teachings from the Bible from its own viewpoint, we approach the Bible as nearly as possible in our interpretations. As a result, all of the Protestant and Catholic groups that use that principle about biblical...

    Mark 13:10

    I agree with the early church that it was written to Jewish Christians by Matthew. That's why I think it was. Besides, no one questioned its authenticity when the Bible was put together, when a number of other books were, like Hebrews, which was questioned because it didn't have a name attached...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Where did you get your ideas, JustTheFacts? The content of 2 Peter agrees with the rest of the Bible. That's the reason it was included. It is part of God's Word and was inspired by him. Yes, Jesus had his disciples (disciplined followers), and they did become his apostles (sent out...

    Problematic verses?

    I agree, JustTheFacts! God has taught me a very effective way to channel our desires only to a spouse and to no other person. 1) As true believers, we are attached to Jesus spiritually (John 15, as a branch to a vine). 2) Thus, we are raised with Jesus to new birth and life (Colossians...

    Mark 13:10

    You neatly deflect from my post back on me. Please answer my post for me. I'm curious, that's all. I don't have any secret knowledge. The early church accepted Matthew's authorship; so, I do. That's all.

    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    The reason I don't call people the elect is that I don't know for sure, since I can't know their hearts. Only God knows for sure. I have a lot of assurance for myself, but there are a lot of hypocrites out there who appear to be saved but are not. I was one of them as a Pharisee following all...
