Do you agree that what he said was a statement of fact?

Here’s what I had asked: Here’s how you replied in answer to my question: How is that not a statement of fact?

Stating something as a fact when you don’t know it’s a fact is disingenuous at best, lying at worst.

I agree He hasn’t fulfilled all the feasts. I’m not sure I agree He hasn’t fulfilled the moral law. If His adherence to the law was perfect, and He is our righteousness, and the propitiation for our sin (our breaking of the moral law), and because of His death and resurrection we will defeat...

Agreed, but let’s not make it a statement of fact.

Never said one did. But you gave specifics about what they didn’t imagine, so the burden of proof is on you.

And which verse told you that?

Haven’t men imagined going faster than the speed of light?

I think He's far beyond what we can do*, but He tells us what He's like, that He doesn't lie, and that He changes not, and that we can trust Him. So if He says He made the whole of heaven and earth in 6 days, I believe Him. However, I haven't been able to figure out the details yet. *God...

Are you saying God could have used an improbability drive to get light here quicker? I like the idea!

I draw your attention to the post I was responding to:

Then you both would say that Christ fulfilled the law in the case of idol worship? Jesus reworded them more positively: [Mat 22:37, 39-40 KJV] 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ... 39 And the second [is]...

But what was the purpose of the different house rules for the Jews? Did God really tell the Jews to do something (and to continue doing something for 3000 years) that had no meaning. Was it purely just an exercise in following orders without question? But you can see the importance for the "do...

"So let me now spend the rest of my post commenting on what you beg to differ about." Here's the thing. If idols are nothing, and it doesn't matter if anyone eats meat sacrificed to idols, why do Jews have to abstain from eating meat sacrificed to idols? Is God's command to them of no import...

Yes--it was because he was preaching it. He also used the terms: "the gospel" "the gospel of God" "the gospel of Christ" "the gospel about Christ" "this gospel" "the gospel of your salvation" And he used "the gospel" in connection with Peter: [Gal 2:14 NET] 14 But when I saw that they were not...

Paul said he was preaching the same gospel: [1Co 15:9, 11 NET] 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ... 11 Whether then it was I or they [the other apostles], this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed...

That doesn’t mean he takes pleasure in the eternal punishment of the wicked.

So why was the gospel of the kingdom good news for Cornelius, who wasn't part of the kingdom? How would he benefit from hearing the gospel of the kingdom? Not yet...keep talking. That's what I was asking you. Why would Peter offer anything to Cornelius except the best good news he had for...

In other words, you just start with that presupposition, and use your presupposition to reject what the Bible plainly says, that Christ died for all, but all will not believe. That puts your presupposition in a position of higher authority than the Bible. That’s what Adam and Eve did with God’s...

But the good news Peter offered to Cornelius was the same good news Paul offered to the Gentiles, right? If so, then Peter was preaching the gospel of the uncircumcision, which you said he had agreed not to do. If not, then Peter was preaching the gospel of the circumcision to a Gentile, which...
