Thank you, good stuff. The scripture seems pretty clear on what it takes to be considered the greatest. Matthew 5:19 states what it takes to be considered the least. What I’m trying to understand is if Jesus described a hierarchy in heaven, then there must be some importance to your status in...

Are you talking about a single church or the Church? First question to address is why you think it needs to change? I made a pilgrimage to my grandma’s home town. She passed decades ago and I was in the same state and decided to make the trip. I went to her church. It wasn’t ever a big...

The disciples asked ‘who is the greatest in heaven?’ I find this a very odd question. I think in Matthew 5 Jesus explained who the greatest and least are. I’m assuming chronologically Matthew 5 occurred before Matthew 18. Was it Jesus who first brought up the existence of a hierarchy in...

Good stuff. A few questions. What’s an example of whatsoever ye shall bind and whatsoever ye shall loose? How are we to treat heathens and publicans? If the remedy was to pay a fine and you refuse to, you carry that debt into heaven?

In Isaiah 1:11-14 God basically asks the people ‘who told you to bring sacrifices to me?’. 1 Chronicles 16:40 has Levites making sacrifices morning and evening in accordance with what was written in the Law which the Lord gave Israel. Was the Law misinterpreted?

Found couple more, 1 Corinthians 7:20-21 and 27-28.

Our Sunday school is having a little sleepover and my wife wants to show them a movie. Any recommendations?

I enjoyed it. Written like a biblical game of thrones without all that gratuitous game of thrones stuff. Who doesn’t like the story of David and Goliath? I think even Muslims like the story of David and Goliath

I agree to the extent that some people are fans of actors and want to know what they wear, what they eat, where they go, etc. the main difference I see is actors don’t view themselves as an ordained authority on how people should live their lives. TV, movies, music, sports are just...

The guy is more religious than I am. He’s more of a god’s wrath on the wicked kind of religious than the be kind to the least of us. He’s probably a member of this forum. I’m a little conflicted because God gave us domain over the animals. I’m fairly confident he’s not doing it to be cruel, or...

Was on another thread and the topic came up about animals in heaven. I don’t like taking a thread sideways so decided to start a new one. The basic argument was animals have soul and when they die they go to heaven. It might not be the same heaven humans go to, but they too reunite with God. A...

Part 2 is are our beliefs the simulation code? First of all, the simulation would have started on day 6 with Adam. How could God have written in the universe and all the laws of physics without Adam’s beliefs? If the simulation changes as our beliefs change, was the earth flat until someone...

It will all come to end on earth eventually. For earth to become lifeless, it would would take the sun gobbling us up or God decides to pull the plug. I don’t think it would be nukes b/c the roaches and tardigrades would still survive. It wouldn’t be an asteroid or AI or zombies. The end of...

There’s animals in heaven? That’s reason enough to go. But that’s beside the point. I get why the Vatican started to preach hell is for humans. If you just cease to exist when you die, then there really is no difference. You should live right regardless. It matters what you do in this life, for...

You got that I don’t believe in hell from that?
