Well i'm addressing the topic in hand do you want me to address an off topic issue like gb? we have leaders did the trinity sit in asynod and have a caesar tell them to preach trinity to there followers thus changing chrisitanity forever? We are given the bible and holy spirit for guidance if we wouldn't have such a fractured faith now.
to be honest I find it hard to believe there are so few monotheistic christian faiths, I know christianity had a policy of killing and destroting all heresy but even so the percentages just don't add up.
Did paul and others use biblical priciple and debate to decide on circumcism?
the answer to that is why we have leaders and as to whether the Jws are the one true faith.
mathew 13 : 24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'
28 " 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29 " 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
and the explanation
mathew 13 : 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37 He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
this is a prophecy from Jesus how do you understand it?
