    Did Paul see God?

    1 Timothy 6:16 Speaking of God, he say, "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen." Is he talking about the light, or is he saying no man can see God? If he is saying the...

    Which is greater, voluntary or compulsory sacrifice?

    The first thing that came to mind was the first chapter of Isaiah where the Lord tells Israel that He is tired of their vain sacrifices, meaning the sacrifices of the law of Moses. (Isaiah 1:10-15)They were continuing to obey the law even though their hearts were impure and their motives were...

    When did the Bible become the word of God

    Anyone who worships the book, claims it as the only divine authority needed to use priesthood, and rejects continuing revelation from God as impossible, is someone that makes the Bible an idol. Anyone who follows the Bible and is not led by Jesus Christ through His authorized servants is living...

    Which God do you worship

    The confusion comes from the fact that unholy and uninspired men in the 4th century turned the reality of 3 gods into a 1 god trinity. So when you ask what god do you worship, all of mainstream Christianity can clearly answer that they don't really know. I cant tell you how many times the...

    Covenant Relationships & the Bible as Literature

    Very nice post Wormwood, thank you! Context is so important when reading the scriptures! When things are taken out of context, crazy doctrines start appearing in the churches, such as infant baptism, original sin, etc. Thanks again!

    Clerical Celibacy

    One dire mistake is the idea of Peter being the first Pope. Peter was not a Pope, he was an Apostle. Peter was not a Bishop, he was an Apostle. As we know, our friends the Catholics say that a Pope is a Bishop, a man that is ordained to be the chief bishop over the whole Catholic church. All of...

    Making others work for you on the Sabbath Day

    I would like to see the calendar that Adam and Eve had! Anyone have that information handy? If you're claiming sundown to sundown Fri to Sat, that was done after the alternation of the calendar of the Hebrews when they were brought out of Egypt. Their whole reconing of time started over and that...

    When did the Bible become the word of God

    The Bible came about when some of Constantine's men decided what should go in there or not. Of course "Bible" isn't mentioned in the Bible because when the prophets and apostles wrote their stuff there was no such thing! They didn't know their writings would be put all together. They didn't know...

    Non sinful activities within Video Games (Please Understand I am young)

    You are putting yourself into a bad place when you play games like that. This would be like saying it's ok to go to a strip joint because you aren't really there for the girls, you are there to talk to your friends and enjoy spending time with them. The fact is, you are placing yourself into an...

    Do you kiss your little cross?

    I think you are right, Sammy! The emblems of His body and blood are the symbols of Christianity. Nice post!

    When a church becomes too large...

    That's a little out there. Jesus was telling John by direct revelation to give very specific messages to 7 very specific churches in very specific parts of the world. All those other churches you named did not even exist at the time of the revelation, so it would make no sense for Jesus to tell...

    Who created evil and death?

    The Father created all things. Therefore, He created Lucifer. We know Lucifer was a son of the morning, a bright and shining star, obviously someone pretty powerful and persuasive. But, Lucifer wanted more power. He wanted to be above his father, he wanted all the glory of the Father and to have...

    I feel like my soul is glowing!

    I have recently decided, over the past few months, to strictly keep the commandments of God, to be sincere in my prayers and to pour out my whole soul to God on a daily basis, to study the sacred words of God regularly, and to follow any direction given to my by His Holy Spirit.... and guess...

    Biblical and Godlical Christians

    Just one thing to say, Anyone who thinks their Bible is infallible and absolutely perfect in every way is in serious error.

    split from "Feamle Pastors" was he always the Son or did he become the Son on our behalf ?

    While some may teach that Jesus' Father is a spirit essence that floats around through space, or is some sort of spiritual mist, etc, that simply is not true. We are created in the image of God, which is the human image, the mankind image. We weren't created in the image of a dog, or a whale, or...

    God Knew Adam and Eve Would Fall

    I'm not a Mormon, but thanks for the compliment because they are good people. I didn't mention what Mormons said, I mentioned what Paul says so I am unsure of your statement about Mormons. Anyway, You claim an orthodox Christianity belief, but you really don't accept it. What you really accept...

    Due to this verse made by Jesus there are many who do not believe that any of the OT saints will be

    People often get confused with the term Elias because it is a proper name and also a title for a person who is a preparer, or a forerunner. Yes, there was a man named Elias. There was also an Elijah. And to confuse things somewhat more, there are times when Elias is the Greek form of Elijah...

    A Catholic's reflections on capital punishment

    I like this post, thank you! The Bible clearly teaches capital punishment for a number of crimes, not just murder. Such things as adultery, bestiality, blaspheme, and even a child who grossly disobeys and dishonors their parents were to be put to death. I kind of agree with that last one! But...

    Salvation

    Why do a lot of you insist on acting like works is an accident. Why do you want to go to be judged and be able to say, "Sorry Lord, I didn't mean to do anything good, it was just a result of my love. Really Father, it was an accident, I wasn't trying to do good to mankind and prepare the way for...
