Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

[Behold]

What if someone put his faith in devil but thinking he put faith in Jesus?

What if someone places their faith in Mary, or in water baptism, or keeping commandments... thinking they are now become a CHIRSTian.?

What if a person places their faith in "doing righteousness".. (Self Righteousness) ...instead of faith in Christ so that God can give them "the Gift of Righteousness".


Satan is CLEVER like that....... He make the untrue seem true and deceives people..... Satan's ministers combine truth and error, and that is why what they teach can 'sound true" and in fact be a total Cross rejecting Lie.

They way we discover these people is to realize that Jesus is Salvation, and that is not something you can do.

What if someone put his faith in evil but thinking he put faith in good?

Everyone has faith......So, if its not placed in Jesus......then its misplaced.
Many Chrisitans have broken faith.....and that is proven by them not believing that Jesus keeps them saved.
So, they try to do it for themselves.

Jesus said why you call me good?

Jesus was sinless and perfect.
So, He was not suggesting that He is not Good.
God said that He was "well pleased" to be In Christ so that proves that Jesus is GOOD.

Jesus said why you call me god?

Jesus is not saying that He is not God., as He understood that He came from the Holy Spirit, and "was God".. in John 1.

If a man can't tell the good from the bad, can he be saved?

God has given everyone a conscience and this shows us what is wrong behavior.
its innate, until the person's conscience is seared, and then you have no moral compass, you just have Lust // Depravity.

An example.

On Oct 7, 2023.......Muslims came into Israel, and went into small Jewish communites very early in the morning......broke into their homes, and if they found a Jewish baby in a crib or bed, they took the baby into the kitchen, and turned the OVEN up to 500 degrees.. (hottest setting) and they put the baby in the Oven, and let it "cook"....burn to death..
And while this is happening.......they took their Cell phones and filmed it..... to watch it later with there families in GAZA.

So, how can anyone who has a functioning conscience, do something like that......and how could anyone in their family have one who would want to sit there and watch and HEAR Jewish babies cook in a hot oven.

"seared conscience".

You may not know the words of the Koran, they can use any means to resist those who occupy their land, this is what Allah says, unlimited means, They have exercised considerable restraint.


But good and evil, the methods used by both sides were not the teachings of Jesus Christ,


But the Palestinian Hamas is following the Koran's teachings.

If God and Allah are one and the same one, then Woe to anyone who says he follow the word of God or Allah.

If Palestinian think Jesus is the The prophet，
They should be martyred like the disciples, not solve problems by force or wars.

The same goes for Jews.

Are people who believe in God, will they still be afraid of death?
There are things that cannot be solved by the word of God.?

Why they can't pray to maria？
We are not living under the law,
You can't do this, you,can't do that.
That is you still living under the law.
If you know what I means.

I want to believe in god and Jesus and Allah and maria
What will you say something to me?
If I still call my self Christian.

What if you believe in me?

Is that make you not a Christian?

You may not know the words of the Koran,

Jews were the indiginous people in this Holy land, not Arabs. (Palestinians).

So, the Koran, the "Quran'" is a false piece of religious nonsense.
The Quran tells you to "drink camel urine" for health.
Its a Satanic Manuscript, that details a false prophet, that offers a muslim male a "whorehouse" in the Sky... if they will "kill jews and infidels" and die a martyr.
This is "allah's paradise".

Lets looks at the simple History lesson regarding who was in the promised land, originally.

The Gospel of Luke 12:1
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

13:21
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Why they can't pray to maria？

Because we are not to pray to anyone other than God and Jesus.

We are not living under the law,
You can't do this, you,can't do that.
That is you still living under the law.
If you know what I means.

Yes, when we try to be good to get God's acceptance, then we are under the law.

Whereas...."Christ is the End of the LAW....for Righteousness, to everyone who believes".

Christians are "not under the Law......but Under Grace"..

"The LAW came by MOSES........and GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus".

I want to believe in god and Jesus and Allah and maria
What will you say something to me?

If you believe in Jesus in your heart then God will bring you into His Family, as a Christian.

The law came by moses which didn't tell you can't pray to someone.

Yes.

Most Christians dont understand that a false Gospel is to simply add something to The Cross of Christ as a must do, or a must not do.

A few examples :

The Cross + Water Baptism

The Cross + Holding unto your faith

The Cross + keeping commandments

The Cross + confessing sin

The Cross + Trying to behavior modify

The Cross + Not willfully sinning

The Cross + Believing in the Deity of Christ

The Cross + Joining the MaryCult

Good points indeed. I agree. They carry it even further on the basis of the idea that one must "maintain" their salvation against an alleged loss, which cannot happen. The fact of our being sealed by Holy Spirit unto salvation, that just rubs some people the wrong way, with them claiming it to be "easy believism," and supposedly license to sin as one so desires without worries of loss.

If sinless perfection were the standard for retention of salvation, we're all lost.

Additionally, the salvation-loss gang can never seem capable of showing to us that imaginary line over which they think one must step in order to allegedly lose salvation. That myth has and is plaguing many people rather than them resting in the assurances of salvation and the peace therein...also freedom from guilt and shame. If we sin, we should indeed be ashamed, but we don't have to renew ourselves unto salvation because the price is already paid. This too is a point of contention based upon what was required of those who were under the Kingdom Gospel.

We must, however, be always mindful of sin and its effects upon the treasures and reward awaiting us in Heavenly places. Some will burn up all of what they built in their lives if that material turns out to be hay, wood and stubble, for:

2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

The Lord will never forfeit His own Spirit given in earnest for our salvation on the basis of sin, for He paid for it all.

I remember that old hymn Vernon McGee always played as the anthem for his teaching programs, "Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe..."

Amen

The law came by moses which didn't tell you can't pray to someone.

An argument from silence by itself is always...an argument from silence, which cannot be used as a defense for paganism or any assumed Christian doctrine. The Torah clearly stated that praying to any other presumed god, that is idolatry. Today, there is only one Mediator between God and man, and that is Christ Jesus...no other.

Islamics worship a false god also known to be deeply steeped in Luciferianism in its connotations, historic connections and origins.

[St. SteVen]

What if someone put his faith in devil but thinking he put faith in Jesus?
What if someone put his faith in evil but thinking he put faith in good?
Jesus said why you call me good?
Jesus said why you call me god?
If a man can't tell the good from the bad, can he be saved?

We have a God-given conscience to help us discern good and evil. But...

Jesus is word of God,the word of God is good @jesus Christ.

For Jesus come anywhere not for peace,but Son/Saw/See/Say word.

Amazing English.

What if someone put his faith in devil but thinking he put faith in Jesus?

Now that makes me wonder if you ask Muslims the same thing....that maybe they are putting their faith in the devil rather than in the one true God?

1Co 10:19-22

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
