Just because something is convenient doesn't necessitate it is false. John 15 is comparable to Hebrews 6 - both are describing what occurs due to the loss of fellowship. So no contradiction with 2 John 1:2 - even those who experience a loss of fellowship have the Holy Spirit "forever". The truth abi...

The husband is his wife's "master"
In that the husband is referred to as his wife's "kurios" in 1 Peter 3:6 it is indeed true that he is her "master".

The context of Metzger's comment has to do with the ending of Mark's Gpsel. Seeing you don't like what he wrote you simply reject it. You have not answered if the two earliest Greek manuscripts lack them. Does it appear in the "earliest" known commentary of Mark? Did Jerome state that it was lacking...

I never said that Scriptres are defined as what "alone" exist in the mind of God. I'm sure there is much more to Him and He has other thoughts that go beyond (although not contradicting) the Scriptures.

John 15 - Is speaking about loss of fellowship not loss of salvation. The truth will be with us forever but it does not guarantee it will be with us forever (2 John 1:2). Nice.

To the first post, I think your question ought to be asked to the person who started this thread. They assume it is Scripture.

I don't understand your question when you asked "To what did man add Mark 16:9-20". Mark 16:9-20 is what man added. They were added at the conclusion of Mark 16:8. Man has continually been trying to alter the text. Spiros Zodhiates agrees with Tertullian (On the Flesh of Christ Chapter 19) that John...

It is true that Romans 6:3; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27 and Colossians 2:12 all refer to the same baptism. This baptism is the baptism with the Holy Spirit.

When the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them in Acts 2:4 this placed them into the NT church. That is what the pouring out/baptism with the Holy Spirit does. It places a person into the NT church.
