Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he's saying they do it

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, you can deduce from that,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's the way to salvation.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually there's another phrase\Nattached to there
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is important, too.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did you notice it, Peter?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Peter) It says, "as the rest\Nof the Scripture."
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Derek) Okay, so he's including\NPaul's testimonies,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not only as a wisdom from God\Nlike Christine said
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but as part of Scripture, God breathed.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is God breathed, right?

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right, but that's interesting.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, implicitly he's saying,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right, so Paul is recognized
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by at least Peter, but I think
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we could say by the Christian community.
