Okay, Isaac. Replied you on your mail.
Tec...... long and wide issue.
To understand John 10:16 you must understand the context of that verse.
CONTEXT IS:
1st LEVEL: 10th Chapter of John
2nd LEVEL: Complete Gospel of John
3rd LEVEL: Complete "Christians Greek Scriptures" or "New Testament"
4th LEVEL: Complete Bible
I am still on 2nd level.
Do you want a cafeteria approach to the Bible Issac?
This is an interesting remark given that the "compilation of writings" known as "The Bible" can also be viewed as a cafeteria approach to the religious writings existing during the initial growth of Christianity. Certainly those who decided which writings would be included in "official" canon took it upon themselves to decide which ones would be considered the word of God and which ones would not. Regardless of one's 'faith', simple historical facts remain - there existed a body of religious writings from which a "group of men" chose and declared are the word of God. If "men" can do this, why cant "men" (and "women") take it upon themselves to explore, research,question and decide which parts within "officigal canon" may or may not be truly from God?
Thanks, Isaac and Titus.
I have read John, the NT, and the bible in entirety, but I've never once 'seen' that application of John 10:16. I don't think anyone should have to search that hard for context (though I've certainly done it to myself before :) ) But I won't speak any further on this topic, at least not here, out of respect for Titus' wishes.
Tammy
feel free to pm me Tammy at any time if you would like to discuss this or any other Bible topic.
Titus;
JWFacts.com may be of interest in regards to the UN scandal,also it documents the Malawi/Mexico case in which The WTS sent thousands of it's brothers to rape/torture/imprisonment/murder yet a double standard ensued by allowing it's Mexican brethren to purchase forged/stolen National Service Exemption Certificates.Anderson Info and Silent Lambs document hundred of child abuse cases world wide.
No, Tammy, you can discuss that if you want. I will not participate this time. You can if you are willing to.
just a few pointers
Thanks Jook.
Titus you're a freaking idiot! The Watchtower admitted to be part of the UN.
