    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    The meeting set a whole different set of parameters. With a letter that defined that. So I disagree. Then there is also the fact that this disagreement continued. The history of it all….during the Roman siege of Jerusalem the Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians turned on each other.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    So if we believe in Christ and want to go to heaven, what is the next step? Is there a prescribed sequence of steps? What does the next step mean? What does it do?

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    If you are walking along in the park and decide you believe that Christ existed….does that mean you are saved? Is belief of or belief in Christ the same? What does belief “in” Christ mean?

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    What I believe and what you believe and what George believes and what Sally believes can be factual or an opinion. Where is the truth? To address the topic here….The apostles did not all preach the same gospel…Is that true or not true? Is there a scripture that says all of the Apostles preached...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    You know when Christ talked about Christianity, so this is a trick question….but I will play along. As I said Christ very seldom preached Christianity directly because His ministry was during the Old Covenant and if He spoke of the Son of God and the Holy Spirit it would be considered Idolatry...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I think I have addressed this topic before…….As a whole the way to understand the New Testament is that, it is all the Gospel. The 4 texts about Christ’s ministry were written in the time of the Old Covenant under the observance of the Mosaic Laws. In these texts a lot of the time when Christ...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Right back then the day started at dawn....not midnight. Wrong….the first day of the week was Saturday? No! The first day of the week was Sunday, what Christians called the Lord’s Day. The Saturday Jewish Sabbath has nothing to do with Christians. Correct….the Lord’s Day is not in the...

    How the idea of Immortal Soul got into the Church

    I think you are right that the devil does that with a lot of topics, but that is not issue with this topic When it comes to the spirit world….like Heaven, Hell, and Shoal, the details are left vague because probably could not comprehend the details. But even though an eternal heavenly reward is...

    How the idea of Immortal Soul got into the Church

    I am a theologian educated in 5 countries and on this topic I can say that there is no agreement. Don’t we wish things were explained with more detail, what are Souls…. spirits…. Spiritual bodies …..eternal….etc “bodies” resurrected and “something” of us can go to heaven forever. Heaven is...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Just as a reminder, there are no J's in the scriptures. For a very good reason. The letter J first appeared in the 1400's and was not popular until the time of Shakespeare and the King James Version. All those names that you may think that start with a J, actually start with a Y…. Yahweh...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    A character of the Old Testament....Unless the Angel's name is Yeshua, it is not relevant. Who is the Angel of the Lord? It appears here and there but with no clear explanation. Trying to decide who the Angel is leads to imaginative interpretation.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    You cannot legitimately make statements like this without addressing the dozens of scriptures in the Old Testament where Yahweh clearly repeats over and over again that He is the only God in Old Testament and there is no other. And Yeshua does not directly show up in the Old Testament and if He...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Beyond what is listed in the examples above, in the New Testament Yeshua gives us a clearer explanation of this concept of one. Speaking to God the Father (He was not talking to Himself) Yeshua says this about the concept of one... John 17:19-24 For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    26. In Matthew 18:10, where Christ was warning not to offend the “little ones”....Christ indicates that their Angels constantly behold the face of Yahweh...in Heaven. Now surely, there is an understanding of the concept of omni-presence, but if you notice, Christ is not saying, they behold My...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Now for reasoning and scriptures…. 1. If Christ’s throne is on the right hand of God, He is not within God and that position although important is second to God the Father. Mark 16:19 “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    But issuing the doctrine of the Trinity was not enough because Emperor Constantine believed that all of Christianity should be one belief….one Faith. So the effort of belief control began. This doctrine had to be forced on Christianity in that they would excommunicate or kill anyone that...
