well, Paul was

😬

I claim that Paul was and that the rest lost sight of what Jesus said

yeah that's fine

And you already admitted you need to reject Jesus to maintain this

I'm not a part of your church so I guess I understand why you see that as a rejection

a s a
haha grammatic error = argument invalid

Ok

No, you said I was only convincing you that Christianity was false

Because you refuse to accept basic Christian principles

While claiming you are a devout Christian

I said you were working to convince me it was false as you only sought to highlight the contradictions in the teachings of Jesus versus the apostles

No, you held a position that was not thought out, put in context or anything, and refused to change when I pointed out how you should view it.

For someone into numerology and such you should know context matters

You said, "the Bible was written by fallible men and we have no written testament from Christ; how do we know we have his words?"

That is working to convince me it is false

No, I was using your claims

If you hold those positions, you cannot be a Christian

It's that simple

We are more than the sum of our intentions @Eoppa

That was entirely not relevant, but thanks

The Bible is completely infallible.

He rejects that

sounds like numerology is about context not mattering..

This dude gets his knowledge from the occult

Contradictions do not exist in the Bible, it is literally impossible for there to be a contradiction in the Bible because it is infallible.

Thus the apostles and Jesus cannot contradict

Okay. I can work with that.

I declare myself to be a conduit of the father like my namesake and will be the new rock of the church.

Rephrase

In simple terms

Like Paul, I too declare myself to be the father of the flock and the new foundation of the Church

Under who's authority?

why would you want to be an apostate?

Well, Paul used God's authority so... God I guess

@ComradeChaos Except in the Bible it is mentioned that Paul was given this

It doesn't mention you in the Bible

It was given to Paul according to Paul

Peter and other apostles said the same thing

It's in the Bible

My name is paul: my initials are peter
