It offends me as much as it would offend you for me to make a cartoon of Muhammed bowing and confessing that Jesus is truly Lord. (Which, by the way, is what the NT teaches Muhammed and all his followers--along with every creature in the universe--will one day actually do; Philippians 2:10).<br /><br />Also, as I told you in another thread, every comment in which you proselytize for Islam (or attack the foundations of Christianity in the name of Allah) is off topic and therefore a violation of our long-standing blogrules. You're welcome to read and participate in the discussion here, but if your real goal is to proselytize Christians or blaspheme Christ, you have come to the wrong place.<br /><br />You will be banned permanently from commenting if there is another infraction.Phil Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649092052031518426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-77535928534649345172010-06-21T12:54:58.832-07:002010-06-21T12:54:58.832-07:00Excellent teaching.

The 12 disciples he spent 3 years with were just there to make up the numbers ? JEsus needs to turn to a person who kills Christians for a living. I think he did see a vision but it was not from Jesus pbuh. <br /><br />If Jesus pbuh did commission Paul then he has not done a good job.<br /><br /><i>“We have already noted that every teaching of Jesus was already in the literature of the day….. <b> Paul, the founder of Christianity </b>, the writer of half the NT, almost never quotes Jesus in his letters and writings."</i> (Professor Smith in his “The World Religions”, p 330)<br /><br />You would have thought Paul teachings would have been reinforcing Jesus message not teared it down.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640347127584435534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-49627938758750574122010-06-18T16:22:20.916-07:002010-06-18T16:22:20.916-07:00I'll leave it to Phil to respond more fully, t...I'll leave it to Phil to respond more fully, this being his meta, but:<br /><br />(A) We neither know nor are interested in a "Jesus pbuh," nor any other fictional Jesuses.<br /><br />(B) The actual Jesus hand-commissioned Paul, so that what Paul wrote was the continuing self-disclosure of Jesus (John 16:12-14; 1 Corinthians 14:37).

It is consist with redemptive history. We hold them to the "law" until that point in their life and then once we believe they have been reconciled to God, we use more of a form of training that mimics Jesus' teaching, then as they get older, we move to the epistles.Rob Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893938431904825170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-50065208378067854402010-06-14T15:46:16.932-07:002010-06-14T15:46:16.932-07:00Thank you - that whole "not under the Law&quo...Thank you - that whole "not under the Law" teaching is, I find, hard to articulate when explaining sanctification and justification to our kids (or a new believer).
