Can you give us a "for instance" DaveH?

DAVEH:
As I understand your position (and please correct me if I am
misunderstanding your position), many Christians (specifically you, in
this instance) believe that everything written in the Bible is
specifically applicable to Christians today. So, if a
prophet of the Bible used a technique of mocking, that means it is OK
for you to do the same thing. If a prophet of God in the Bible
is commanded to go preach on the streets, you assume that instruction
applies to you as well....is that correct,
Kevin?
To me, that isn't logical at
all. Just as what he compelled the prophets of the OT to do was
not necessarily applicable to the prophets of the NT, what the Lord
wants us to do today may or may not be what he wants us to do
today. It seems to me that the Lord over
time has commanded various people to do things that he may not have
commanded at a subsequent time or other peoples.
Hope that makes some sense.....

NO
How so?

Don't you think they were arguing the truth as they saw it,
perhaps in the same way it is done on TT occassionally?
Please show me where God admonished Paul, for his "much
contention" DAVEH: My last post about
admonishment was regarding the bickering (if that's the proper
word for it) Christians who Paul admonished.
If you were an apostle as was Paul and
admonished me for arguing about theology, I would pay heed.
But I don't think you've even claimed to be an apostle,
Kevin. (Am I wrong on that?) From my perspective
you seem to be one who is contributing to the contention.
Why do you think Paul's admonishment not to contend (Titus 3:9)
doesn't apply to you? Isn't it just a matter of
perspective? If another TTer were to argue against your
understanding of whatever doctrine, why do you think you would be
in the right and he would be in the wrong? Do you sincerely
believe you are right on all your points of doctrine, or do you
allow you may at times be wrong?
Show me where Elijah was admonished in the scriptures for
MOCKING.
In fact right after Elijah Mocking the prophets of Baal,
God answered his prayer. DAVEH: And
because some of the early prophets mocked with God's blessing, you
believe it is your right to do so as well? Isn't that
stretching logic a bit beyond it's breaking point?
God Mocks
Prov 1:26 Because I have called, and ye
refused... But ye have set at nought
all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will
mock when your fear comethDave

Were not a lot of early Christians in contention, and

Do you suppose that could have been one of Paul's
