PastorAIO:
Nothing you have said contradicts my point that Ideas evolved in christianity.

PastorAIO:

No they are not.

DoctorAlien:


Scroll down to the part of the page that says "Early Writings".

DoctorAlien:


You can believe whatever you want.

Deicide:
Doctoralien why don't you Quote the Verse out instead of citing them out?

DoctorAlien:


So that you can read it for yourself. You can access parallel verses of the Bible online on Biblehub.com or Biblegateway.com.

Deicide:

This is an open forum that's why I asked no one has the time to be going to their bible app and what not and also it would look as if you are hiding something and it also makes ur explanation "Not Clear"

DoctorAlien:


I understand what you're trying to say. I'll try as much as possible to type out the Bible verses I cite from now on.

DoctorAlien:


Jesus is called the Son of GOD in Mark 5:7, Luke 8:28 and Matt. 8:29.

Jesus forgave sins in Matt. 9:5 and Luke 7:48. Forgiving sin is a prerogative of GOD.

DoctorAlien:
On Peter's trance:

As a Jewish convert, Peter held the opinion that all Gentiles were unclean, and therefore unworthy of salvation. He would not preach to them or have any type of social interaction with them.

Peter received the vision just before messengers arrived at his Joppa home from Cornelius, a Gentile centurion. God had instructed Cornelius to send for Peter, and his servants were practically at Peter's door when the faithful apostle fell into a trance on the rooftop.

In that vision, Peter saw a great sheet descending from heaven, filled to overflowing with all kinds of beasts, birds, and creepy-crawly animals. Three times Peter was invited to eat the disgusting collection of creatures, and three times he refused. Each time a voice declared, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." Acts 10:15. Finally, the sheet was lifted back into heaven with its cargo of wriggling varmints.

DoctorAlien:
Here we plainly see that God had used the vision of the sheet to teach the prejudiced Peter that he should no longer shun the Gentiles. The vision had nothing to do with eating and drinking. It was addressing Peter's attitude toward people, not toward food.

What a dramatic lesson for that early church! And it's a lesson that all of us should learn, also. Let those be corrected who try to apply this vision to any cleansing of unclean animals. It actually proves the opposite, and then presses home one of the greatest lessons for Christians everywhere–count every individual of equal worth before God, and make every effort to win that one to Christ.

PastorAIO there was a Time Jesus called himself God in the Gospel of John... And I don't mean "God" as in a Title I mean he referred to himself as "Yahweh" and you know the Jews don't play with their God so they took stone and threw it at Him,But Jesus ran for his life o if not they would have killed him like they did Stefan in the bible

PastorAIO:


Yes, the Gospel of john was written about 100AD, 30 years after hte other gospels. That's my point. It shows a more evolved theology.

Deicide:
Paul also talked about sacrificial foods and he said eating it is not a sin Jesus also talked about this somewhere in the bible...

PastorAIO:


I see that it would suit you to limit that vision to refer only to cornelius and gentiles and not other unclean things.

However it doesn't change my argument. The fact still remains that Ideas evolved in Christianity. First you couldn't fraternise with unclean Gentiles, and then things changed and you could. Christianity evolves it's ideology.

PastorAIO:


I agree that Paul did. Jesus though, never said it's okay to eat food sacrificed to idols.

DoctorAlien:
PastorAIO,

"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." Isa. 43:25

While we can forgive sins committed against us, only GOD can forgive sins generally. If I wrong someone, I apologise to the person and to wrong for offending my fellow man. So sins are ultimately committed against GOD. Jesus forgave the paralytic all his sins. The Jews knew that only GOD could forgive sins and so they persecuted Jesus in Mark 2:7.

Deicide:

No he didn't there was a time Jesus was eating and drinking in a bar with sinners...I still can't remember the way he put those words when he tried to explain himself

DoctorAlien:


You can believe whatever you want, okay?

GOD is not bigoted: He is the GOD of mankind, and not the GOD of the Jews alone. Everybody is entitled to salvation, if they will.

PastorAIO:

It wasn't food sacrificed to idols though.

PastorAIO:
So Jesus must have misunderstood the Jewish leaders when he went on to show them that the Son of Man had power to forgive sins, and even went further to give his disciples the power to bind and unbind on earth and in heaven.
