Scriptures that trinitarians Don't Want You to Know About - #4

Again, Mt. 28:19 holds no relevance to what was under discussion prior to this more recent attempt in your posting to go somewhere else in the discussion.

You would do well to validate what you cite in your posts. Below is the article from which the above contrived quote is found; and where it has been purposefully stripped of the context it was published in.

From page 2637 with context:

• "(1) In regard to Baptism it has been argued that as Mk 16:15 f occurs in a passage (vs 9–20) which textual criticism has shown to have formed no part of the original Gospel, Mt 28:19, standing by itself, is too slender a foundation to support the belief that the ordinance rests upon an injunction of Jesus, more esp. as its statements are inconsistent with the results of historical criticism. These results, it is affirmed, prove that all the narratives of the Forty Days are legendary, that Mt 28:19 in particular only canonizes a later ecclesiastical situation, that its universalism is contrary to the facts of early Christian history, and its Trinitarian formula “foreign to the mouth of Jesus” (see Harnack, History of Dogma, I, 7, 9, and the references there given). It is evident, however, that some of these objections rest upon anti-supernatural presuppositions that really beg the question at issue, and others on conclusions for which real premises are wanting. Over against them all we have to set the positive and weighty fact that from the earliest days of Christianity Baptism appears as the rite of initiation into the fellowship of the church (Acts 2:38, 41, et passim), and that even Paul, with all his freedom of thought and spiritual interpretation of the gospel, never questioned its necessity (cf Rom 6:3 ff; 1 Cor 12:13; Eph 4:5). On any other supposition than that of its appointment by Our Lord Himself it is difficult to conceive how within the brief space of years between the death of Jesus and the apostle’s earliest references to the subject, the ordinance should not only have originated but have established itself in so absolute a manner for Jewish and gentile Christians alike." (Lambert, J. C. (1915). Sacraments. In J. Orr, J. L. Nuelsen, E. Y. Mullins, & M. O. Evans (Eds.), The International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia (Vols. 1–5, p. 2637). The Howard-Severance Company.)

As I've mentioned before in another instance of a manipulated quote, V. G. Tasker's 1961 Commentary, it is important to recognize that phrases like, "it has been argued", "These results, it is affirmed", and "It is evident, however", are all clues to the reader that the writer is not arguing for that position.  

In the future, utilizing a credible Internet resource to check the validity of supposedly authentic quotes would be to your favor.

Internet Archive.org, a large online digital library, is a great resource for this sort of thing when you don't have a particular resource in your own library.

First, and foremost, you're greatly mistaken in thinking I've entered into a discussion with you regarding Mt. 28:19 proper within this thread. Affirming, or denying, this text as original is not relevant to our previous discussion in this thread; nor, do I believe is the new entrant, Catholic dogma. 

Therefore, your entire claim above is completely fabricated and false, as no such discussion exists between us in this thread on the Mt. verse; other than, the pointing out of poor and improper methodology used in your less than credible citing of supposedly trustworthy quotations.

I was, however, as made clear in my previous post, pointing out once again the continued citing of quotes that in their own, and complete, context do not at all agree with the position you say they represent. 

In this case, the new misuse of a quote from an ISBE article taken out of its own context perpetuating falsehood; and, that there is a way for you to verify the validity of a quote via Internet Archive.org, a very helpful internet library resource should you choose to use it.

And by the way, you do have a thread available and specific to Mt. 28:19; where, to your hearts content, you can express yourself.
