@colinsmo Apt analogy. Works for abortion too.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@JoshuaBarzon The names are legends. The Veronica myth was made up in the late Middle Ages to create a story for how iconographers knew what Jesus looked like.

@TradCathGuy @5Solas You just lied about those verses because you think you can mindlessly repeat whatever your self-serving sec tells you. But you will face the judgment of God why you did not believe Him but believed in a self-serving sect instead.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@TradCathGuy @5Solas Your self-serving sect is not the church the Lord Jesus established. His church keeps the second commandment.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@AmericanTorah Your unteachableness suggests that you lack of a fear of God.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@AmericanTorah No, it absolutely is not. Israel, from its inception, was the church (Gen 28:3, 35:11, 48:4).

@EliAfriatISR Believe in Jesus, the true God incarnate.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@AmericanTorah Jeremiah proves that God's true Israel is not an ethnic group.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@MateyYanakiev No, there's no allusion to Wisdom. It's a reference to the psalm and common phrases.
Enoch is not in the apocrypha.
Even if they were quoted, that wouldn't matter. Paul quotes pagan poets. That doesn't make them canonical. The Lord Jesus excluded the apocrypha.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@MateyYanakiev The NT explicitly and overtly quotes the OT with a formal introductory formula (eg, "as it is written") c. 224 to 283 times. Not once does it do that for the apocrypha.
"he trusted in god let him deliver him now" is a quote from Psalm 22:8, not from the apocrypha. Stop lying.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@MateyYanakiev No, He did not. There is not one allusion to the apocrypha in the NT.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@Matthew56193629 @TheresaArueyin1 This is exactly right. Learn the rest of the Bible and then use Revelation to illustrate it.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@TheresaArueyin1 For preaching, I think it is Hosea, except for the first 3 chapters.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@jstephentrotter And an editor of a seminary journal. Imagine what he includes and excludes from publication.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@GeneDarkwrites @EliAfriatISR Technically, Moses is not Jewish. He's from the tribe of Levi, not Judah.

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@highestintell @EliAfriatISR The Lord Jesus said that as one receives His apostles, so they receive (or reject) Him (Matthew 10:40).
Your rejection of Paul is a rejection of the Lord Jesus Himself.
Your fake use of "Yeshua" doesn't hide the fact that you're an opponent of the Lord Jesus.
Repent.

@Joshua_M_Hump "All under the sun." Things from above the sun are not vanity. 😀

[John B. Carpenter @CovenantReform2]

@lukestamps Okay. I'll trade you, then.
