Gary appears to be 'reading the same bible' as I am, Dean. Hmmmmmmmmm? I guess the obvious question would then be..........
cd: The only thing it could be Lance is which part do you and Gary ignore and which part do you believe?I personally think that the whole should be researched and formed into one's doctrine. This is the core of our discussion/debates within this entire group-How much of the Bible does one believe-whole or part? Epaphras believed others could do this and prayed to God for this- why not us Lance?Would he pray for the impossible.
Col 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
These guys didn't believe in the whole word of God either.
Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
But I am at a loss on how to convince one who will not receive the whole by using the truth of the whole that they deny-to make my point. A paradox then exists and confusion reins that God is not the author of-that then only leaves Satan's handiwork-You know the one who promotes sin against God's commandments that you group declares one does not have to keep.
