On the authority of Paul or on the authority
of the Apostle Council at Jerusalem?
The Apostles letter to the Gentile Church in Antioch
and Syria.
"The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers
in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings.
24We have heard that some went out from us without
our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they
said.
25So we all agreed to choose some men and send them
to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul-
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by
word of mouth what we are writing.
28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you
with anything beyond the following requirements:
29You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood,
from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.
You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell."
Acts 15:23-30
Paul To The Gentile Church
3They forbid people from eating certain foods, which God
created to be received with thanksgiving by those
who believe and who know the truth. 4For everything
God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected
if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated
by the word of God and prayer. Paul
"25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising
questions of conscience,
26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."[c]
27If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and
you want to go, eat whatever is put before you
without raising questions of conscience.
28But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice,
" then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told
you and for conscience' sake[d]-
29the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours.
For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
30If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced
because of something I thank God for?" 1 Cor 10: 25
YOU CALL THIS THE WORDS GOD?
"12Even one of their own prophets has said,
"Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."
13This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply,
so that they will be sound in the faith
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to
the commands of those who reject the truth."
Paul to Titus 1:12.
As we know the above is quoted from Epimenedes,
a pagan poet... So,Paul quoted a pagan poet.
Are the words of the pagan poet God's words too?
Folks, I am really sorry for those who read the "New Testament"
or approach it as a dictated word of God. For
by doing so, lock themselves out of the intellectual wonders
hidden through its pages.
This New Testament is nothing but a JUMBLE of competing
doctrines.
THE NEW TESTAMENT IS NO WORD OF GOD
