Priscilla and Aquilla completed Apollos.

Hi, Dom. Sorry about that, Dom. But you don't get to decide for me what I enjoy or don't. You also don't get to decide if I'm Apostolic or not. Nor if you are the top dog or cop, of AFF.

I do enjoy examining the points of scripture you present. I also enjoy pointing out the weakness of your views, thinking that it shows the AFF audience the deficiency of the Apostolic view with you as its representative.

The following will simplify for you. If you want to defeat/show in error what I say about Ro14, then take these steps:
1. disprove that the Bible is capable of being read 'between the lines'.
2. disprove what the Bible shows in Ro14, coming from reading between the lines.

Thus far (I haven't yet read/responded to all your posts), you have said to readers that Ro14 is only about weak/strong saint relations. I agree with this. But this is an incomplete view.

Priscilla and Aquilla didn't set out to disprove to Apollos what he preached, when he wasn't wrong, but explained to him the way of God more accurately Ac18. His view was not wrong, just incomplete. So I do also, with my Ro14 commentary.

Your view, the weak/strong saint view, shows what readers of the OT will often see - the Lord defending the weak righteous against the strong carnal. This practice does not die with the OT, but continues as a demonstration of righteousness/justice values which God holds dear. Nothing I say about Ro14 contradicts this view or your view of Ro14. It completes it.

Do not continue with your efforts to disprove me an Apostolic. God has demonstrated that I am, by his Word. If you continue, you place yourself as contradicting God. This would be silly for anyone to do. It would also be silly to argue against that which is seen as truth by reading Ro14 between the lines.

Why have you not yet disproved my view, with the many words you've written? Do you lack discernment to see that if you destroy the foundation the building crumbles? Of course, if you are too busy portraying my character as bad, or my lack of being Apostolic, then it doesn't leave much time to attack the foundation. This shows your weakness as not understanding the right steps to take. Does it also demonstrate why you do not grasp what reading between the lines in Ro14 fails to show you?

Give it up Dom. Stop fighting God. Accept what is seen in reading Ro14 with a between the lines method. Accept that Paul shows that God allows the holding of multiple contrary views of scripture (the scripture he has presented which naturally allows for multiple views) as acceptable. Apostolic's have wrongly projected that God always speaks with clarity, resulting in those who have varying opinions as seen believing false doctrine. Ro14 sees Paul showing otherwise. Apparently?, some Apostolics have not 'caught up' to Ro14; 15.1-7 in their beliefs and practices.

Instead, what we see is someone who thinks they represent all Apostolics, fighting what Ro14/Paul portrays. This is sad.
