Zone1 Mormons who have apostatized or stopped going to Church

[Cougarbear]

Who made Paul an apostle? Is Paul found in the Hebrew Bible? On whose authority was an NT written?

We don’t have who called Paul. But, he knew Peter as well as James and John and those 3 were the First Presidency. I would assume then they set him apart.

Well, you group us with the JWs. I group you with the 40,000 apostate so-called Christian denominations.

He essentially conceded your point by admitting that Protestantism is a quagmire of confusion with its 40 thousand different groups.

Diversity is good. God created it.

The churches in the New Testament were all different, yet they preached Jesus. You're no different than JWs in that because you're all indoctrinated you believe that's unity. It's not unity. It's cultic brainwashing to believe that only your organization is the truth. The good news is that Jesus is the truth. Period.

Jesus appeared to Paul, not an angel. I think you're losing your grip.

Who claims that? Paul? You? Your buddies? The ROMAN Catholics? Jesus said that there would be false apostles and teachers who would claim to represent him. He also warned Christians not to listen to stories of him being in the wilderness. That's exactly what Paull claimed to have, an encounter with Jesus in the wilderness, that blinded him due to how bright the light was emanating from this being, he called Jesus. How does anyone know it was Jesus and not the angel that you mentioned to in your critique of Mormonism?

Jesus called Paul. Read your Bible.

What is weird is that he doesn’t see his so-called non-denominational church as just another splinter group of Protestants. A hodge podge.

Paul claims that in the Book of Acts. You're falling apart. I'm beginning to get concerned about you now.

Jesus called all of the apostles then and today.

You can assume whatever you want, but there is no evidence for Paul being an apostle, chosen by anyone in authority. He wasn't at the level of the 12 apostles and yet you base your whole theology on his doctrine rather than on the doctrine of the 12.

You are the one that falls apart and tries to change the subject.

Yes, the part of the book of Acts written by one of Paul's disciples. The book of Acts according to scholarship, was written by two people. You're falling apart because you're unable to show on whose authority your NT scriptures were added to the OT. Or what would justify your Christian beliefs in light of the Hebrew Bible? Nothing. You're just pulling rabbits out of your Christian magical hat. Biblically you have no support justifying an NT or anything in your scriptures.

Luke wrote the Book of Acts. Jesus appeared to Paul and blinded him for a while, the later opened his eyes.

Because he has one testament only, the Bible, his reasoning can only be circular. With the Book of Mormon, we have another testament of Jesus Christ and his Gospel Doctrine. That breaks the circular reasoning he’s in. We have also two more testaments as well. It takes 2 or more to testify properly as the Bible also says.

Delivered by an angel. There's only one Gospel. Read Galatians chapter one.

I didn’t say there was more gospels. But, in the name of two or more witnesses the truth is.

Who gave you or your Christian buddies the authority to canonize the Book of Acts as divinely inspired scripture? Who gave Christians like you the authority to add Acts and the epistles of Paul to the Bible?
