    We're FIGHTING because...

    We’re fighting because Christ has divided those He must bring to the Father into two groups (Israel and “another fold”, meaning the gentiles), but preached the good news of the kingdom of God in one gospel narrative that according to the apostle Paul, must be “rightly divided”…and many...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    By definition salvation (being the gift of eternal life), is forever. Still, there are many who are confused by the ongoing sin of people who claim to be saved. This is a great misunderstanding-- but it does not mean that salvation can be lost. And yes, there are many scriptures that can be...

    Veridicans and the apostle Paul?

    @Edward Gordon ... I thought I would pull this out of the General Discussion area to address. So, are the writings of the apostle Paul not included in the Veridicans canon? And if not, why, since he is the only one in the Christian Bible that claimed of himself, "for me to live is Christ", a...

    Rightly dividing the word... What does that mean?

    2 Timothy 2:15 "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I will wait to comment, but it would be good to hear what people say and think...so: What say you? What does that even mean?

    Is The Birds and the Bees a "fraud?"

    Are parents lying to their children with deceitful stories about the stork coming and the birds and the bees??? Just KIDDING! :D You all need to lighten up on the fairy tales. Nothing better to do than go after loving parents who have no intention of misleading their children away from God...

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    God has confused all language at Babel--even all scripture...which has not been rescinded. Most of the debates here and many of the differences of belief and division among so-called Christians, are over the various translations of original languages that have been confused by God to make it...

    Death of the High Priest

    Joshua 20 The Cities of Refuge "20 The Lord also spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses, 3 that the slayer who kills a person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there; and they...

    Are you quoting scripture like Satan quotes scripture?

    If you are quoting scripture to debate a point against others quoting other scriptures, without reconciling the two scriptures -- you are quoting scripture just like Satan! If so, you are also documenting your own failure of the testing of every spirit (1 John 4:1), for God is not against...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Acts 1:11 "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing...

    What is meant by "rightly dividing the word of truth?"

    2 Timothy 2:15 "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I might just come right out and say what is meant, but perhaps we could hear what others say. What say you?

    "Doing" Church.

    Church is not a verb. I guess that is the reason I have a dislike for "doing" it--I love it, but "doing" or "playing" church, just rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes, it's so boring! But today I have a new appreciation for it. We're starting a study in First Thessalonians and Paul is winding up...

    Three (3) Advents?

    How absurd! Sorry if you have been mislead, but three "advents" by definition would be impossible. First the flesh, then the spirit--that's all. There is no third element or arrival.

    Just for....those who, well, not just for some, but for all who would love God.

    And there you have it from the Catholics...or some...of whom are "led by fallen, fallible humans" instead of the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus according to His promise. And that is the rift. That is what the Spirit has led men of faith and good conscience to break away from throughout the history...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Can I get a witness? Is He in you? Is Jesus in anyone? ...And, if Yes...do you know what the next question is?

    "We fight not against flesh and blood" is strictly New Testament!

    The point being... Why are so many during this day and age not on board with these spiritual times? Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Jesus was the Last of the...

    God "manifests" EVERYTHING.

    In direct contrast to God spiritualizing everything, God first manifests (makes externally known) everything. As it is written: Isaiah 42:9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Matthew 20:16 "So the last will be...

    God "spiritualizes" EVERYTHING.

    God is spirit. He is in the process of spiritualizing everything. Why then, is "spiritualizing" a bad thing for so many would-be christians? (Rhetorical) ...But hey, go for it. Try to rationalize for us why one would go against the very makeup of God. Let's hear it. God already knows who you...

    Christian Kooks - OMG!

    I suppose, no, scratch that. I am sure there are those who consider me a kook wearing the banner of Christian. But then again, even the people of God down through the ages thought the same of the legitimate prophets/messengers sent by God...and even killed them. So...as history has proven...
