“Creation is continuous, and never stops” MFox

ha, you got it bad, huh? Me irdc if you discredit, Scooter, but at a certain point you might contemplate whether you are fighting God with this stuff? I understand that i have brought this out in you, ok, and i apologize for any baldn…lack of politic? which i def dont mean personally, ok. I...

14And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.g and Moses and Elijah, himself now, at the transfiguration, which commentary i guess would be pointless to get into here right now

ah, well, hmm. John Baptist, with a commentary—if you will—at the transfiguration, which, since you prolly wont, id prefer not to get into with you right now. Gotta run bye

well no offense Scooter but CoSI puzzles you too right? Meaning im not really sure what to say to that. Lotta stuff ive never heard of too. I mean, go with what you know, bro, and stick with “All Scripture…” at 2Tim3:16 regardless of the gramme there, for as long as you want to too! lol anyway...

Paul’s use of graphe—which he does do, more than ten times, if i recall correctly—is usually or always attributed to what we now call OT, i think? Seems like there are maybe one or two graphe refs by him of some NT writer too, though The chief Ethiopian claim is, i think, concerning a book of...

ha, youre kidding, right

ok,tks. There are books written on the subject, i read a couple good ones, only its been like 35 years ago. If i recall a title or author ill post. Understand that these really arent claims that i am making, except to you, ok? Meaning that its just a concept that either is or isnt, and im not...

Some interesting angles in here too, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterlife#Ancient_religions concerning the inspiration of the Bible…well, mostly how it so often directly refutes common beliefs, but thats subjective i guess

well lets admit that they already had a name for the OT, right. His refs to other wisdom schools…wow, gotten considerably harder to search since the last time, five years ago maybe…heres one about Stoicism...

Paul made many refs to other wisdom schools though, and they didnt have “Bible” per se then

um fwiw there is still an arg that in that context Paul might have meant what we now refer to as Scripture; being a letter to a Church, etc i havent pursued it, the def of gramme has surely drifted, what would Paul have…conceptualized when he used that term (in writing), did he use gramme in...

ya, there are a couple vv that i think most believers either just disregard or dont apply to that situation, The first to tell his side seems correct, until another comes along and questions him, Test everything, amd keep what is good, but these concepts are more or less discouraged in most...

cool, wherever seems best, ty

Well, hence “In 2 TIMOTHY 3:15, Paul uses this word, and not graphe, to refer to "Holy Documents" or "Sacred Letters." bc he used gramme and not graphe, apparently

The caduceus, in a nutshell, ya

To that i would say that God breathes in mysterious ways? And that Paul didnt use the common term for Scripture there, more like “All Writings,” prolly. The diff in graphe and gramme. Well, plus his frequent references to stuff that isnt “Scripture,” at least to us. May have been to him?

i would guess that the inspiration is of a subtly diff sort than Scooter maybe believes, and what i was also first taught; that concept where Yah more or less dictated what was written? I suspect that the inspiration is more like taking the best that other wisdom schools have to offer and then...

Aw Scooter, sorry to hear about your mom. Eating a lemon, i guess zest and all? Not quite sure how they gag that down but anyway, a lemon dramatically lowers your psa or whatever cancer numbers they look at, like overnight? I guess it causes an alkaline reaction, you can read more about it in...
