The book of Acts is the best commentary we have on the gospels and the letters. We can see what Jesus meant by what he said in the way the Apostles understood him. But on two counts so far, those being your views on violence and baptis…

You can furnish millions if not billions who rejected Peter's and the entire early church's interpretation of Jesus' words.

Regardless, you reject Peter's interpretation of Jesus' words and rely on your own interpretation, which is exactly the same as the Catholics' interpretation.

Thanks Bill, I need to spend more time with this. But the Jews divorcing their pagan wives during the return from Babylon was never about racial purity. It was about the Jews marrying foreign wives who did not convert to Judaism, as Ruth and Raha…

Who do you trust more? Peter or yourself and others who favor the Catholic model?

Why did the disciples baptize everyone in Jesus' name? How do you defend the catholic model when scripture clearly refutes it?

Where's the beef David? Help us here, we are starving. Throw us one morsel or shred of scripture supporting Baptism according to the Roman Catholic model.....

This is another position you cannot support from scripture.

For the sake of not eating crow? Could it be the majority of Baptists, protestants, evangelicals, and Catholics are disobedient to the Word? Or do not understand it?

So are the Catholics right? About baptizing in the names of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Or are the Disciples right, baptizing in the name Jesus Christ?

The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263: "The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century."
We have a lot of Catholic baggage polluting…

It is not. Or else they would have taken Matthew as you do.
-
Notice Matthew says "name" singular and not the names Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And the disciples not only baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, but healed as well saying: “And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ name, his very name has made this…

Why did the disciples baptize in Jesus' name if your way was acceptable to them?

Thanks. But did the disciples cast out demons in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Or in Jesus' name?

I still pray asking God to forgive me for what I am at the start of every day. And that he would clothe me in Christ's righteousness as I have none of my own. And that he would consider his wrath poured out on Jesus in my place before he takes me…

Paul says you are wrong. Israel was mostly unbelievers. “But God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘It was not to me that you offered slain animals an…

How then do you know how to react? If Jesus left loopholes in his teaching as you assume?

How about loving enemies? Do you interview them first to see if they are just thugs, or religious persecutors?

(Quote)
Paul fell among robbers and other situations where persecution was not the issue. Yet he taught us to leave vengeance in God's hands and not our own.
Besides, are we to interview attackers to find out if it is a faith issue or …

Can you provide scriptural evidence where the disciples did not follow the Sermon? I can show many examples where they did. And not one mention of violence on their part. The only exception was Peter trying to defend Jesus with the swo…

The disciples ran and hid. But did not resist violence with violence when cornered.

How can you give your life for Christ by squeezing the trigger as you preach?

No.

But, how can you know if your position is correct? The examples of those who gave their lives for Christ in the NT show they believed exactly opposite from what you believe and teach.
