Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? @jackdouglas I question the relevance. I'm just saying that the text of John never limits the group to the twelve. He only specifically addresses the twelve in the setting of John. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? @joseph I believe you're straining the interpretation on Jn 6:66. I don't think that means that only the twelve remained. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? @JackDouglas i read that "if" as "since" because he went ahead and described the parallels. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? @JackDouglas ... Joseph made the claim in his first paragraph. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? Additionally, your question betrays your bias. Joseph, I was wondering if you'd be willing to interact with other scholarly sources and, perhaps, justify the claim that the sermon on the mount and the sermon on the plain are the same event |

How should James 2:18 be translated? that's a lot of theology to read into a translation. |

If a “house divided cannot stand” how did non-disciples cast out demons? Jack, this is a good answer but there's nothing in the text itself that would lead one to believe that these deeds are invalid. The context of Matt. 7 is a family talk that Jesus is having with his disciples (Matt 5:1-2). You rightly note that the context of Luke is one of sign-seeking and some of those doubt the authority/ability of Jesus to do this. They look for some other authority for this miracle. I think we are pressing if we try too hard to harmonize these accounts instead of taking the lessons as we should from each of them. |

How should James 2:18 be translated? Punctuation is not part of the original text and the grammar of the source text lends itself to a degree of speculation. Please cut the weasel words "painfully" and "obvious" and the other filler ("I can't figure out ...") and shore up this answer a bit. You've missed a significant portion of the debate. |

If a “house divided cannot stand” how did non-disciples cast out demons? This is rooted in a false dilemma. This false dilemma is rooted in the insistence that those whom Jesus did not know are necessarily of Satan. |

Before the Tower of Babel did all speak Hebrew as the original human language? Could you pleas explain the relevance of these observations to the question? |

Why is the “give to Caesar what is Caesar's” answer so great? I have attempted an edit on your question. The more I attempted to sort through what you were trying to say, the more I realized how much of it is really just a thinly-veiled ad hominem strawman argument. I agree with the ultimate conclusion (which you state near the beginning), but I also think that there's another answer that fits the format better. |
