That’s your response? A Search Engine question? I have no idea where those answers came from nor a reference to 1800

Where did you come up with that? There was a moderately sized dispute between the Eastern and Western church about its author validity and relation to the “Other Hebrews”
Before 1800 everyone believed Paul was the author of Hebrews, John carone or whatever his name is said that they were all wrong

I said we don't know who it was and implied there are scholars who think it was Priscilla.

The amateur theologizing was too hard to endure, couldn't make it through.For the record I have seminary training and majored in biblical and theological studies but that doesn't make my opinion anymore valid than the ups driver's, people need to read for themselves, I put zero stock in anyone's schooling or degree on anything, I don't care about a surgeons schooling or degree, I care about what they have done in the operating room, I'll take a surgeon who has performed thousands of successful surgeries with limited formal school than a decorated surgeon who has performed zero surgeries, the more school you attend the more foolish you become
It could have been a good discussion, but Ballcoach pretty much makes that impossible these days.

But asking these questions is irrelevant, I've found on Twitter when dealing with atheists on topics when they can't defend their position they start asking for your education and credentials, it's a deflection tactic. My track was a two year program, I was not going for a full mdiv. Most mdivs I know are the most liberal Christian's I knowWow

Someone who has trained in and/or studied something has a more valid opinion on that matter than I do.

My wife - an oncology nurse - has a much more valid opinion on cancer than me because of her training and experience.
Haize - a drug dealer - has a more valid opinion than me on what I should take if I were to feel a certain way because of his training and experience.

This is just getting borderline Scientology crazy now. Think about that statement.No, I would not. I would take a variety of opinions and then research, I would not put more weight on what the doctor says
stokesjokes wrote: ↑January 6th, 2020, 4:49 pm The thing that hasn’t been addressed from Tnobes and Ballcoach in this thread is this:Except that God meant for it to be read and understood without a guru needing to tell you what it says. The Bible is Crystal clear. I find it funny that someone says they believe the Bible, but they believe that God lies in it. It's very interesting
The choice to take the Bible literally is an interpretive choice, and, frankly, a lazy one.
(How’s that for a pot stirrer?)
