Is this post really the earliest one with the label "Standing for Truth"?

I'm concerned that earlier posts with my comments could have been taken down for some reason. Hope it doesn't happen to this one!/HGL

PS, on this other one, I'm not making a post. Mr. Wagner is obviously correct that the Beroeans don't prove Sola Scriptura. But he was sloppy in reading up whom they were being compared to, here is his video:

Here is my comment (wonder if it will be taken down), here:

1:31 It doesn't say those of Thessalonica were simply accepting uncritically what Paul and Silas said.

Look up the chapter. The synagogue in Thessalonica had some few respond by faith, but a good deal by persecution, leading to the road to Beroea. If they walked on foot, they would either have taken more time than just that night to get there or have been very exhausted when arriving, it's 72~73 km away (like the number of books in the Bible).


So, the critical eventual acceptance of the Beroeans was not contrasted with uncritical acceptance, but with "uncritical rejection" ... an uncritical acceptance of a knee jerk reflex to reject. Most of those in Thessalonica had not bothered to look up the OT Biblical arguments for Jesus as Christ. That's why Paul and Silas fled to Beroea./HGL

PPS, it was taken down ...
