@PinSeeker That falling away has a double fulfilment. It was first referencing the great falling away in the early centuries of the church in Rome that was at first in a true relationship with the Lord, but in later centuries apostatized in favour of the baubles and splendor of civil power in...

I was thinking of the expression in 2 Thess 2:3 that has reference to the man of sin, or Antichrist. That falling away...apostasia...from Strongs... 646 ἀποστασία apostasia ap-os-tas-ee’-ah ‭ ‭feminine of the same as 647; n f; TDNT-1:513,88; {See TDNT 116} ‭ ‭AV-to forsake + 575 1, falling...

You have to realise however where these tares are. Jesus's isn't talking about the world. He's discussing the church... Where the wheat is. Outside are unbelievers sure, but they aren't tares sown by the devil in the church.

I think the Greek word for apostasy has the same meaning as divorce. While God will never file divorce papers against us, we may do so against Him by believing a lie and walking away from truth. Divorce has the essential ingredient of a sound former relationship, but that relationship broken...

“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. ” 1 Corinthians 2:16 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/1.Corinthians.2.16 “2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law...

An explanation of what that expression actually means comes a few short verses later... And it isn't about or physical death... It's about the old man, the former corrupt carnal fleshly spiritual nature that is crucified with Christ... “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not...

You misquote me, attributing to me your personal accusation, and then have the audacity to double down on that without seeing the need to substantiate it. I think you are too young and immature to be discussing theology on a Christian forum. Come back when you grow up.

What does loving your neighbour look like? Isaiah 58

Language reflects the customs of the culture that speaks it. Nearly every culture, from Babylon through modern times, rested on the seventh day. As languages developed, the name for the seventh day of the week remained rest day. In the mid 19th century, Dr. William Meade Jones created this Chart...

Let me guess. Sunday?

Are not Christians spiritual Israel? Is not the promise made to spiritual Israel that God's law is written upon the heart and mind? The very same law as written on stone? “2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the...

Define "numerous". Then give all the examples you can find. Not saved except they go to church on Saturday? Interesting concept. I do understand however why you would think that. After all, the Sabbath commandment is a law right? And one can appreciate, from scripture, that murderers...

Because it is your understanding that I don't accept everything written in God's word? I would assume then that you have some examples of what I don't accept in support of this theory. Care to share them?

Yes. And then one wonders if the secretary is taking a little too much of the responsibility, presuming to be infallible and all. But the whole argument is moot anyway, for as quiet said, Mary is dead awaiting the resurrection as any other who was faithful to their calling and resting in their...

And from whence did their authority come to presume too change God's holy day from one day to another?

It also shows you don't trust Jesus, though He died for you. You believe you need His mother to put in a good word for you, thinking Jesus needs her influence to convince Him of His love for you. Did you know that placing someone in the place of Christ, is Antichrist?

They are confused on salvation... Justification by faith. They deny the atonement through the blood of Christ, and replace it with banked merit earned by oneself, Mary, Jesus, and the saints.

The Catholic church however, despite numerous claims to the contrary, was not the original church founded by Christ. Of course Paul ministered to the church in Rome while a prisoner there, and history provides abundant evidence of the sufferings and persecutions inflicted upon that church by the...

The day before Jesus rested even in the grave. And the women also rested "according to the commandment" refusing to prepare His body for burial. They were together yes, and the scripture tells you why. To honour Sunday? To celebrate the resurrection they knew nothing about? No. Because they...

There did come a time when Christian Jews were banned from the synagogues. The rabbis created prayers that included curses against Jesus. When some didn't recite those prayers, they were exposed as Christians, and expelled. But that didn't stop Christians from observing the Sabbath. Outside of...
