You have yet to show me a version of Christianity that does not recognise the seperation between Ot judaism and NT Christianity. Nor have you produced any evidence that would suggest that Jews accept Nt theology and put it into practice.
My stand here has never been about that specifically, only about what credibility you have to be making any assertion about that at all. You can still be wrong along with the rest of your church, nobody is saying otherwise. Because those on my side of the fence can and have shown passages from the bible that say that the law shall never change, the same as you can provide scriptural references saying that it has. The question becomes, then: which of us is right? We can't both be, and for your position to have any credibility, you need to show us why. Not why you think that is, but why your thinking isn't flawed. Yet you keep refusing to do so.
You're fixating on an issue that's really just one component of a broader point; what makes you think you're the only one who has a direct line to god? Why are cult leaders wrong when they say they're the son of god, yet you're right in your assertions?
I'm not comparing you to a cult leader btw, just demonstrating that there are lots of crazy beliefs regarding christianity, and if you want credibility for yours you have to demonstrate it.
Quote:It shouldnt unless your seeking biblical truth.
This would be an excellent chance for you to demonstrate to us how your interpretation is biblical truth, and all the others aren't.

My, 'philosphy' seems to be different than your assessment of it.
By necessity, if you claim to be correct than any claim that differs from yours is at least slightly wrong.

Well, the existence of false prophets hints that at least a little authority is needed.
Quote: I simply answer the questions you ask, and point to common sense contextual interpertations of scripture.
The thing about common sense is that it's always so different from person to person. What makes your common sense divinely inspired?
Quote:I Speak where the bible Speaks and remain silent where the bible is silent. I take full responsiablity for everything i say and know I am answerable to God for it. Let God be my final judge. Let the rest do with what i have to say, as they wish.
Is that as close to an admission that you may be wrong as I'm going to get?
Quote:Then that would be bigotry as well.
Now your turn Clarice, Quid pro quoe.
My turn? Why do I need to say anything at all? As far as I'm concerned, you need to prove you have anything credible to say before a conversation can occur, and you remain doggedly evasive. It leads one to conclude you're just talking out your arse with an undeserved sense of esteem.
