The Bible, the justice system and common sense dictates a person cannot testify on their own behalf. Therefore the Bible cannot testify on its own behalf.------------------------------ Since the New Testament did not exist at the time of its own writing, it is impossible for anything in the New Testament to testify about the New Testament. ----------------------------------- The Bible isn't a Book, but a collection of books by different authors. Therefore authors may testify for another book as long as they weren't the author of that book------------------- Where legitimate testimony exists, what is being testified to? For example Psalm 119 may testify about Torah; "the word is perfect" but that does not equate to inerrant, but rather, perfect for the job it is intended for.----------------------------
The bottom line is the Bible is a extremely valuable written record by and about the relationship with God.our physical and spiritual ancestors had. The Bible is a God inspired tool designed to bring us into relationship with the "Living Word" rather than bring us into relationship with a Paper Pope.
Your still wasting time and space. Post the Scriptures that Paul has authority to supersede the Commands given through Moses and Jesus.
Cupcake;
You are correct, only Jesus has the authority to change Commandments because he is greater than Moses.
TOHT;
You've already accepted the con. I'm just trying to point it out to you. Feel free to post Scripture proving Paul has authority to supersede the Commands given through Moses and Jesus - ( there's your con!)
Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ even changed the OT law which greatly increased the love in the Old Testament law of loving your neighbor as yourself!!
John 13;34,35: Jesus says, "A **NEW COMMAND** I give you: **LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**! As I have loved you so you **MUST** love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples!"
John 15:12-14: Jesus says, "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: **TO LAY DOWN ONES'S LIFE FOR ONE'S FRIENDS**! You are My friends **IF** you do what I command!"
Then Littlestdavid made this ridiculous quote:
Here we go again, the “prophetic” thinks Jesus actually tinkered with God’s word and decided it’s high time we start loving our neighbors in the NT... WHAT RIDICULOUS NONSENSE!!
Llittlest david I just quoted God's word showing that Jesus gave us a **NEW AND BETTER COMMAND** and you call it **RIDICULOUS NONSESNSE**???
"The question is and always has been: Does Paul have the authority to expand, modify and add Commandments?"
Chuckles: Wehave severe disagreements on this forum but we all agree that the 14 books by Paul in the New Testament are all inspired by God and have **ZERO ERRORS** and all of Paul's commandments are also commandments of God. and all apply to the present day.
Acts 9:15: The Lord said to Ananias, "This man{Paul} is My **CHOSEN INSTRUMENT**to proclaim My name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.
Acts 26:16-18: The Lord said to Paul, " I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of **WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND WILL SEE OF ME! I will rescue from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me!"
2 Peter 3:15,16: Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our **DEAR BROTHER PAUL ALSO WROTE WITH THE WISDOM THAT GOD GAVE HIM**! He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand {For the Lost}. which IGNORANT AND UNSTABLE PEOPLE DISTORT, as they do other Scriptures to **THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION**!
Actually the question is not as you say that Paul has the authority to add new commandments but whether Paul was inspired by God to write new commands in his 14 books which is over half of the New Testament of God's inspired words.
John 16: Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify Me because it is from Me that he will receive what he will make known to you!"
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write everything Jesus told him to write which includes all of the 14 books of Paul.
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “All authority in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to Me {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** {The entire NT inspired by Jesus} I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!”

chuckels unless you are brain dead it is very easy to understand that God inspired Moses what to write just as God inspired Paul what to write!!
Acts 9:15: The Lord said to Ananias, "This man{Paul} is My **CHOSEN INSTRUMENT**to proclaim My name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.

chuckels: It is very easy to understand. God inspired Moses what to write in the first 5 books of the OT just as God inspired Paul what to write in the 14 books in the NT!!

"chuckels: It is very easy to understand. God inspired Moses what to write in the first 5 books of the OT just as God inspired Paul what to write in the 14 books in the NT!!"
*You are mistaken. Moses had a nation of witnesses. Paul had no witnesses except some soldiers with conflicting stories who didn't know what just happened.
You assert;
"God inspired Paul what to write"
*Many were inspired to write. God gave Moses dictation. Moses had 6 million witnesses.
Inspiration is not Authority. I am not asking for proof of Paul's inspiration, but proof of his authority.
We have now 6 pages on record of you side stepping this question. Hopefully this will lead others to the truth,
No Pinocchio the long nose prophetic, I’m saying that your adding to scripture is what’s nonsense!!
Jesus was restoring the true meaning of the law that the religious leaders of his day had diluted with their human traditions—sorta like you do with your traditions
