Shlama Friends,
Dave, have you ever MET Otto?
I mean face-to-face? In real life, in flesh and blood?
I've been writing here on the Net since 1999 or 2000.
And one thing that I've seen for sure is the internet is very ONE dimensional.
Your a "Pastor" right?
How can you say these things to Otto?
"Brutish" "natural man".
I mean you've NEVER even met Otto I.R.L. (in real life), as they say here on the internet.
HAVE YOU?
We've got a sign on our living room wall, a saying by the Dali Lama:
"Do you want to be happy? Practice Compassion."
"Do you want OTHERS to be happy? Practice Compassion."
In The Way International Aramaic/English New Testament almost everywhere that Yeshua says "Mercy" in the Greek to English N.T., it is translated as "Compassion".
Do YOU want Compassion practiced towards YOU?
Go and do likewise, towards others.

I don't think we can deduce the words of God intellectually, Otto. We need a higher source than human intellect by which to discern them. For you to
wave your hand and dismiss five books as spurious that have been held to be God's word by millions of believers for 19 centuries, many of whom were illustrious and wise followers of The Messiah, is the height of arrogance on your part.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
You strike me as a very "natural man". "Dvanphesh" in Aramaic means "soulish", "natural" or "brutish".
How a man in whom dwells The Spirit of God could write what you wrote about 2 Peter, 2nd & 3rd John, Jude and Revelation, not to mention John 7:53- 8:11
is beyond me.
