Islam: Our Partners in Peace...

[Mr Peabody]

I don't understand your point, are you saying the "four gospels" of the NT are valid but the rest of the NT is not or that none of the NT is valid? Jesus told the apostles he would send them the Holy Spirit to aid them in starting the church. The NT writings were inspired by God.

With all that being said there are so many denominations of Christianity, obviously JM found one that twists things to his liking, I'm not sure what you believe, not all of the NT can be taken literally as some is written in apocolyptical language, some figurative, much of it is straight forward, but to understand it you have to read it with an open mind and not have your own biases. The Acts of the apostles gives us our pattern for the NT church so if you dismiss that then you go astray for sure.

My point is not against your belief but against the method of argument...and the effectiveness of that line of argumentation.

One can argue that something is immoral or sin due to divergence from the literal word of God. Boom. That's quotable. It's defined and debatable.

Augmenting that line of argumentation with works of a political hack with an agenda does nothing to advance your point because it introduces inconsistent variables, including but not limited to a timeline in which previous Laws have been abrogated and the fallibility of man.
