    Baptism is it required?

    (Alpha and Omega;54529) Well we look at the King James version and it has never been revised. It has been edited however. But this does not mean that words were changed it simply means spelling errors have been corrected. However the Catholic church has had many Bibles and many revisions...

    Praying to saints past?

    (treeoflife;54457) Should we (Christians, knowing Christ, washed by His blood, given open access to the thrown of grace by His Gift), be praying to or through other believers who have died?I say other believers who have died, because by God's Word, all believers are called saints. When Paul...

    How can a person get to know God?

    There is a danger that in studying scripture we get to know about God rather than knowing God. For this we need to pray scripture.There is a method called Lectio Divina (Divine Reading). We read a passage of scripture several times allowing it to sink in, then we meditate on it, perhaps just a...

    Baptism is it required?

    (Alpha and Omega;54481) Catholic Church did this. Countless new Bible versions. Why? Sounds to me like they do not obey God by changing his word. Can you explain this comment. What new Bible versions?

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (treeoflife;54455) I don't trust wiki. I trust God's Word, which tells us what a believer is. Wiki doesn't have it even close, and 3:1 is a joke.Even so, maybe I should say this instead -- "Not including Catholics, most believers do not believe that saints past should be prayed to." There...

    What is Sin?

    (treeoflife;54447) By God's Word of course. Titus 3:5-7: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being...

    What is Sin?

    (treeoflife;54445) The man said he kept all the commandments. Jesus never said it was true (that the man had actually kept all the commandments), and I do not believe the man was telling the truth. I believe the man was playing Jesus, trying to show him how righteous He was, and trying to trip...

    What is Sin?

    (treeoflife;54442) Praise the Lord, Jesus has done all the work for us, and made us perfect by His blood. How did Jesus make us perfect by his blood?

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (treeoflife;54440) According to Watt, since a person (such as myself and indeed, most believers) understand from God's Word that saints past do not need to be, and indeed should not be prayed to... You are wrong. Most believers do not believe that saints past should not be prayed to.The numbers...

    What is Sin?

    (treeoflife;54442) Sin = imperfection. If at any moment in the day, you are imperfect, you have sinned.Jesus said, "Be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."Praise the Lord, Jesus has done all the work for us, and made us perfect by His blood. Then someone came to him and said...

    What is Sin?

    What do we mean by Sin?Jesus summarised the commandments as “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ On these two...

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (setfree;54370) From the scriptures you quoted Eph. 2:19-20. This is the foundation that the church was built upon. What was the foundations that the Apostles and Phophets laid out with Jesus being the chief cornerstone?I believe it to be the doctrines and teaching. Not the men themselves but...

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (kriss;54367) This was not my study but another veiw as you can probably tell I do not buy the fact there there is plenty of eveidence that this was refering to Peter as the verse as been debated for generations if there was plenty of proof that this was so it would not be debated as it is. It...

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (kriss;54364) Another explanation :Jesus was referring not to Peter, but to Peter’s confession of faith in verse 16: “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” Jesus had never explicitly taught Peter and the other disciples the fullness of His identity, and He recognized that God had...

    Keys To The Kingdom Of Heaven

    (setfree;54357) So you say that the church is built on Peter? (setfree;54358) It says on this Rock, if Peter is called Rock it is beacause of the meaning behind the name not the person. Why wouldn't He say upon you I will build the church. It says Rock-a man like a rock(strength of soul) . Paul...

    (setfree;54332) Luke8;10 talks about the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you(believers)....We are given the secrets(keys) of the kingdom....not just Peter. Luke 8:10 talks about secrets not keys.You can come up with whatever imaginative interpretations you like...

    (Alanforchrist;54326) The "One baptism" That Ephesians Speaks of, is, The rebirth, being born again. The Spiritual baptism into the body of Christ 1 Corinthians 12: 13.Ephesians 4: 5 mentions, "One baptism" but Hebrews 6: 2, Mentions "The doctrine of baptisms" Plural, why, because there are...

    Baptism is it required?

    (Alanforchrist;54325) A Lot of those scriptures that you quoted were not talking about water baptism. But the Spiritual baptism into the body of Christ. No, baptism with water, which is the baptism into the body of Christ.
