Would an absoulte be a woman should not cut her hair?
That is not an absolute that is abstract.

Daniel,
For once I have to state that you have missed it by a million miles on the "brother" issue but are unwilling to admit it. Ananias calling Saul "Brother" is no different than Simon Peter calling lost Jews "Brother." Yes, it was tradition. And one that they honored. In no way can such terminology be used to show one to be saved or lost.
If we assume that Ananias, in calling Saul "brother" was considering him saved, then we must also conclude that Simon considered those Jews whom he called "brother" as saved also. That just doesn't work.

Is this pursuit for the love of truth .... the concept???
Paul said that he want to know Jesus in the power of his resurrection and in the fellowship of his suffering ....
I think we've become idolaters of truth .... married todoctrine ... divorced from Deity.

I follow the salvation plan in Acts 2:38.

That doesn't explain how what I said is "dismissed"..You are implying Ananias accepted Paul as a brother in the Lord, which implies Ananias considered Paul repented of all his past deeds...so that shoots your idea in the foot. He would NOT have any reason NOT to call him a brother as a Jew...one nationally just as Peter called those other unconverted Jews and just as those unconverted Jews called Peter...clearly we can see from scriptures Jews called each other brothers for other reasons than they accepted that both were Christians

That's right...if you really love the Lord you WILL obey Him.

No, it is an interpretation. Much the same as what you are doing when you say it is the wrong one.

Just because Ananais called Paul a brother nationally does NOT argue against us being a family....dude you need a lesson on logic
