In a thread regarding someone else's views on scriptural authority, Steve said this: > The books written by inspired prophets and chosen apostles carry divine authority, due to their authorship > not due to any later person's recognizing them.

"The disciples" and "His disciples" in John's gospel

I'm doing a study in John's gospel parsing the character groups. Example: the Jews, disciples, the world, the crowds. I'm noticing that two different phrases are used for disciples. "The disciples" and "His disciples." Should I discriminate between those? John 6:66 demonstrates the difficulty of dis...

Re: Just my idea? (changing churches)

Re: Advice on how to help a weak/hurting brother?
