Is The Bible Inerrant?

To which you reply with citations from Acts, like this one "2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart."

Obviously, as you well know, the disciples were not offering animal sacrifices in the temple in order to worship God, and atone for their sins. They used the Temple complex in order to meet. But you knew that. But instead of acknowledging my point, you twisted it against me.

That's playing me for a fool.

Not. Not what I was doing at all. If you feel I twisted it, then point it out. That's why we discuss these things. All you had to do was point out where I was wrong. I know you're to smart to try and play you for a fool. That's an extreme reaction.

And what about the dispute between Paul and James, and how Paul was required to prove he wasn't negating the law, and what he had to do to prove it?

And what about James, who was practicing the law? It wasn't as clear back in the earliest days of Christianity as you made it sound. Weren't the earliest Christians still practicing Jews ... even requiring circumcision of the gentiles?

But that wasn't your point. You were trying to point out how God had changed (not God, God doesn't change) but how he changed his expectations after Jesus ; that God expected worship in his son.

Then you said "The more I hear you boasting that you can know God without His word, the less I hear God in your words."

And that's a twist on what I've been saying, that, God has, in the past, spoken his "word" without the Bible. Which is undeniably the truth. The Bible wouldn't even be here without that truth.

But sorry for the mix up between us. It happens. And my intention was never to offend you, or play you for a fool. My bad. Mea culpa. I can be stupid some times. Feel free to point it out. I mean no malice by it. And besides, I really like you.

Now if I and Untohim can straighten things out. That's my current concern. You may be rid of this idiot soon, as I may not be a member much longer.
