Thanks for taking the time to give that explanation.
Thanks for elaborating. I wonder if truth really can be knowable by all.
So which was the one truth in the Bible--the OT commandment to slaughter those caught in adultery, disrespectful children and gays? Or the NT commandment to forgive, to not kill and not even be...
Maybe the forum does need an artificial stimulant to bring it back from the dead :)
You make some good points, IMO.
"Or, it is just the same old arguments and no one really trying to understand each other."
and that is how a forum ends up dead.
" why come to a dead forum to be abused, maligned and lied about"
Hmmm, maybe you are right. Why SHOULD I come to this dead forum to be abused, maligned and lied about?
I guess I should stop...
"Making false accusations is a sin"
Yes, it is. That is one MORE reason to stop being a troll. Maybe we could amend the dictionary definition using your insightful statement, as follows:
"In...
Not necessarily projecting--he may just be trolling:
"In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting...
I would like to know the reason, so i will try to send a PM
i find those claims hard to believe. i bet i could find at least one word you have posted in this forum, that is NOT found in the bible.
Can you prove it? What denomination do you belong to?
By the way, you might want to re-think your recent comments in light of the forum rules as quoted in my sig line.
i didn't notice what you're claiming when i read what pastor roger williams said in the 1600s about the loss of authority to run christianity. he said that it was no longer being run by authorized,...
i think your summary of this p***age is very good, up to this point. the good works the man was doing was casting out devils in Jesus' name.
not sure it says they were thinking about spreading...
"Good"???
in what ways was it good?
1. it was insulting.
2. it was false.
accusations such as that poster's don't fit the definition of good in any dictionary i have seen.
maybe to...
so you believe that the decision to replace judas iscariot with a new apostle, was not what Jesus wanted them to do.
and you believe that ceasing to have apostles leading the church, didn't have...
If you can find a quote of a person named joey smith claiming that those doctrines that are called, in some Bibles, "the heart of the gospel" were destroyed, THEN I will admit that a joey smith said...
it is pretty much like i said it is--which is pretty close to what you believe: saints who have died are up in heaven pleading to God to extend mercy to some of the people who are still alive down...
that isn't very substantial proof. if that's the only thing those apostles have been able to do after being up there for 1800 years, maybe they aren't trying very hard?
so it's kinda like the catholic church's belief that dead christians are up in heaven doing stuff to intercede for living people, trying to convince God to do this or that for them?
my other...
what active role do those dead apostles in heaven take in directing Christianity down here, today?
or maybe you believe that Peter, Thomas, Jude, Paul, etc. come down from heaven to tell the...
if you are saying that within Christianity the religion, there are many, many people, and many of them have different beliefs regarding God and Jesus, i would say you are right.
if you are...
Actually, it makes a lot of sense to those who understand the following from the Bible:
1. Resurrection is a free gift that Christ, who has power over death, gives to all people who are born and...
Is it necessary that they be pulled out of their sins before they die?
Did Ananias and Sapphira turn away from the light given them? Didn't they die in their sin? So, according to your...
Yes, I have several questions. One of them is: What is a "whinny voice" ?
is that the kind of voice a horse has?
