Did you see any where in my post a place where I tried to show error in the teaching of infallibility? I didn't bring that up for very well did I know that catholicism teaches a pope is only infallible in matters of faith and morals alone. At any other time, however, a pope can be a dirty...

If everything I've read about your position is true then none but Messiah are abiding in Messiah. I don't say this to insult but in despair if your interpretation is true, for, even Peter sinned after the pentecost. Paul had to rebuke him for hypocrisy, a sin of the Saducees and Pharisees...

I don't understand your reply.

Were not saying that you will never sin right because in context 1 John 2:1-2 ESV My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not...

May I ask how we know that grace and works of the law can't be mixed? I gather from Rom 11:6 that they can't be mixed for the same purpose, i.e. salvation. However, never how they were mixed in scripture anyway. Salvation from slavery was given freely to the Israelites and then a set of commands...

May I ask then what part of our faith is our own works? Not that you need works for the gift of salvation mind you. The works of our faith that James talks about showing others. Also, why command what His spirit will automatically do in us? Shouldn't He have stated, "When the spirit abides in...

I have been to both sides of this argument. And, most of the time this is the results, one side thinks the other is lawless while the reverse says the other side is saved by their works. This may come back to the quote that your not happy unless the other person sins are the same as yours. I...

This has been happening in the 10/40 window. GFA is a missionary outreach who is working miracles in Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist countries. Miracles in this sense of salvation and in the sense of miraculous healings and demon expulsions.

I recognized the importance of those verses a long time ago but not the implications. It has only been through the teaching of Francis Chan that the reality of those words have struck in me in a real way. I've been humbled by those very words on occasions to my shame and Yahweh's glory. I hope...

Whether intentional or not you have insinuated that I'm a potential false teacher since I'm the one who started this thread. However, my beliefs do not undermine scripture, the 66 books found in most protestant bibles. I believe that sound and harmonious doctrine can and has been found in...

I hate to say it but I fear that people, that its unbelievers and young believers alike, see the later more that the first, if they ever see the first. It is why we really need to discuss unity and the great commandment to love one another, love the way Yahweh desires and does love. I believe...

If what your saying is true then those moral values are not objective but subjective; subject to the constraints of the society they reside in.

The opening post doesn't stress unity no matter what. Seeking truth and foregoing all other things is equally wrong. Paul in his letter to Corinth states we should seek hope, faith and love. He didn't emphasize truth because he commited to know only theessiah amd him crucified. Paul also...

You seem to be skirting really close to the fallacy that reality is as we make it. You may have even committed it at times. If you'll excuse the interjection then how do you respond to the notion that we all live in the same reality, same laws govern us all, same consequences if we do similar...

Actually Andy, I disagree with your interpretation of Acts 6. I believe disagreements will come up but how you and the rest of the people handle the disagreement shows unity or not. Since the group in Acts 6 didn't just break up into hellinist denomination and jewish denomination, I believe they...

Let's assume for the sake of the argument that everything in Acts displays how to behave in unity in such large groups of people.

Read John 17 first. Pay attention to this verse: John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. It may just be an incorrect interpretation on my part but these days I don't see...

My journey has been a long one. I do hope to find kinship here on this forum, but I know that I can be very difficult and down right stubborn, if not altogether stupid. If you will forgive me when I make those kinds of mistakes then I believe I will be able to learn how to form lasting...
