Doghouse:
Where have you been? I am still waiting to hear from you regarding my last couple of PM's.
quote:
...If Christian Doctrine were on trial, the Bible would be called as a witness. The Church serves as the judge...(Acts 15:28)
I also have a question about your signature line quoted above. Exactly how does the verse Acts 15:28 support your statement?
Here is the verse as written in the KJV.
" For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;" Acts 15:28 KJV
I am just wondering where the connection is between your signature line and this verse? Probably best to PM your answer to me rather than answer here. It may get us off topic.

Ah Ha!!! so you do engage in "private interpretation"!!!!! I thought so. I say that because I have never seen those words interpreted that way before.
Just playing with you man. Thanks for the answer. I was wondering, but I thought it would be something like that.
Peace to you my friend.

The key words to me are underlined. It was not just up to the Holy Spirit, but also "to us" It's not just up to God?....I sure wouldn't admit that's what I believed.
So, when the "us" adds burdens to the people, apparently the "us" doesn't feel the need for the burdens to "seem good to the Holy Ghost".....just to "us".
Yep, another perfect example of how not to read Scripture - pick out the "key words" you like.
