I am going to show a pattern here for everyone on your forum, and everyone who ignores it is foolish and bewitched, so is anyone who disputes on the forums any longer.
Here is the pattern from the very beginning.
The first to speak back against God was the serpent. ( Genesis 3:4.)
The next was Cain. (Cain, it is testified, was of that wicked one. Genesis 4:9. 1 John 3:12.)
Then came the flood, and after that the dividing of nations, including the land of the Canaanites. ( Genesis 10:19. )
Because they were together, God confounded their gathering together, because they would be able to do too much in unity. ( Genesis 11:6-8.)
Then God Himself calls Abraham the Hebrew, alone, ( not the divided separated people of the rest of the world.) and Abraham did as God had spoken to Him. ( God declared, all that bless Abraham, will be blessed, and all that curse him, will be cursed, and all are blessed in him.)
After this the seed of Abraham, Jacob, and the twelve patriarchs go down to Egypt. The Egyptians would evil entreat them, until God promised to deliver them, then they serve God. ( Acts 7:6-7. 7:15.)
The time of the promise made to Abraham drew near, and Moses was born ( Acts 7:17-20.)
The Hebrews did not understand that Moses had come to deliver them. ( Acts 7:25.)
After Moses had fled from Egypt, God appeared to Moses, and Moses was trembling. ( Acts 7:30-32.)
God told Moses, He would deliver the Hebrews, and send Moses to do that. The Hebrews had refused, questioning Moses, but God sent him to deliver them. ( Acts 7:34-35.)
Moses told the people, ( who refused to hear God any more in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 5:25. Hebrews 12:19-20. 12:25) that they had to hear a prophet or be destroyed, ( Acts 3:23 ) Jesus Christ, God would send, because they thrust Moses from them and would not obey. ( Acts 7:37-39.)
But the Hebrews remained stiff necked and resisted the Holy Ghost. ( Acts 7:51.)
Jesus calls HIs twelve disciples, ( just like God called Moses.) and they always did as Christ told them, but ,many other disciples did not believe in Jesus, and went away. ( John 6:66-69.)
Then just as God called Moses and Moses was afraid, the Lord Jesus Christ appears to Paul, who did as Jesus instructed him, and was not disobedient to the Heavenly vision. ( Acts 26:16-19.)
Paul was sent to the people, as Moses was, and just as Moses was refused, the people also refused Paul, but God said He would deliver Paul from them. Paul was sent to turn the people from satan, to God, from darkness to light, to receive forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ and inheritance among those who are sanctified.
Paul had to withstand Peter, and Peter did not refuse the correction, and did not answer a word, ( no dispute, no contention.)
Paul continued to correct the Galatians, because they were being foolish and bewitched, to not believe in the truth of Jesus Christ set forth before them, and crucified among them, he asked them many questions, no to be answered, not to be disputed/contended, but only to reveal how they never believed in the truth. ( the same as the Hebrews had refused to believe in God.)
Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians 3:O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
All who questioned Christ, and did not do as the Apostles did, to hear, even though they were hard words to follow, have gone away as the Hebrews did in their heart, and turned back to Egypt. ( John 6:60. 6:67-69. Acts 7:39.)
But we are to do do as we see all did, to refuse HIm that speaks, because we shall not escape if we turn away from HIm that speaks from Heaven.
John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Acts 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven.
Dispute, contention, it began with the serpent, as I have shown, and it was exampled in the Hebrews, until Jesus preaches the Gospel, until Paul was sent to the people, until the Hebrews and Gentiles ( Galatians) still refused, and instead of hearing, disputed and contended.
Peter summed it all up, if we look for the new Heavens and earth, we have to be found of Christ in peace, without spot. We have to account that the salvation Paul spoke of, spoke in all his Epistles, things hard to be understood, ( as it was hard for many disciples that walked away from Christ. ( John 6:60.) and the unlearned and unstable, wrest these, ( resist and refuse) as they do the other scripture3s too, to their own destruction.
Beware unless you are also led away with the error of the wicked, it is falling from stedfastness, and not the growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, which we need, in glory, both now and for ever.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
