Post #25. I know there's more to it, which is more complicated and needs a fuller explanation. Not avoiding, but a comprehensive answer will need 2 in or 3 seperate posts.

It was a former Leo that wrote the encyclical, Rerum Novarum. In it he stated how essential it was that Sunday sacredness be restored to the church, just as John Paul did, Benedict, and Francis. All with increasing fervour. But you are correct in observing that such a change to people's thinking...

Do you think you are perhaps looking at the world as it appears today from your eye witness perspective, and then looking through scripture to find a prophetic parallel? How about we look at scripture first, understand the metaphors and symbolism, and their full implications in history, then we...

Good grief. That was a right royal shambles.

Oh. I had no time for editing.

Josh, I don't think that at this time you could come up with a better or more relevant question. Most Christians who take any interest in prophecy are looking to Israel and the middle east for all the signs and fulfilments of prophecy. They think that while the USA may be having an indirect...

Mmm. Hope?

Where does it say that she is an exception to the rest of mankind?

Yep. Let it be done according to your will. Those aspects of character and righteousness are the Father's will for us, but they aren't obtained by our own effort, but by faith. They are a gift.

Another approach a pastor spoke of was when travelling on a plane, and having 3 hours of a captive audience of one. Open with normal small talk. Hi. Popular flight today. Do you fly often? It seems I never stop. The times I spend on the ground with family are precious. Etc etc etc. then he...

Is "Christianity" a thing? Or is what the scriptures recommend... a person, or rather 2 persons, the Father and the Son? "Christianity" brings different messages depending on who is where and doing what. You have the myriad of denominations holding different doctrines, all having conservative...

Do you love your husband because he made promises, or do you love him unconditionally? Does Jesus deserve anything less?

I attended church yesterday and heard a thought provoking message entitled, "Would you Love Jesus if He were Broke?" In other words, would you Love Him without the promises?

You guys all realise do you not that God describes His church with 2 principle definers in revelation. Here are they who keep the commandments of God and have the faith and testimony of Jesus...and the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Revelation 12:17; 14:12; 19:10. Would it be too...

Exactly. Well, Islam might. But Islam isn't the Antichrist. They don't uphold Christ with one hand and trample upon His authority with their feet.

That's actually a fair question. We don't discuss Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, or any number of other "isms" anywhere near as much as we do Catholicism. Considering there are over a billion Catholics in the world... About a sixth of the entire...

And there it is. A denial of the atonement through the blood of Christ.

If they are genuine and are in a true relationship with Jesus, He will take them out of that communion,, as He has done for countless others.

But the wheat aren't in the world, they are in the kingdom of God. That's what the parable reveals... The kingdom of God is like...Satan doesn't care to sow tares in the world, the world is already his. His concern is to disrupt and corrupt the church, so he sows the tares there....among the...

Does any of the above negate the choice of the Christian to walk away? For example, Jesus promises never to cast away anyone. That is encouraging. But does He override the choices mate by any? Once we become a Christian, do we lose the power of choice? Remember, 2Thess. 2:3 is within the...
