Answer all those questions yourself, O2Q. If you want, of course. I mean, I could, but I'm not sitting for questioning, or any kind of interrogation. But if you do, then, dispense with your "Look-at-me-I'm-so-spiritually-superior" attitude, if so. :) If you want to have an earnest...

No, actually has an excessive interest in or admiration of himself... But no need to argue about that... :) Okay, but where's the relevance in all of that? I mean we can understand it, too, JT. Someone can be literally bound by something in one context (e.g., in shackles, handcuffs, or a...

Hmmm, that seems very narcissistic... Go back and reread my post from a little while back. I was quite clear. The one you misread... or misunderstood somehow. Oh wait, sorry, that post was in response to Augustin, and you may not have read that one at all. Anyway, yeah, Post #528. Yes, but...

No, just this particular line of conversation with you, O2Q. Grace and peace to you.

"Find any pins..." Hm. Well that one kind of went right past me, I guess... <smile> I can be 100% certain ~ and am ~ that Jesus was not pointing to Himself. You misread my post, I think... Didn't do that... <smile> ...nor would I... <smile> I'm... not even sure this even makes sense...

In the sense that I said before, but I think not in the wooden sense you seem to mean it. A question for you, Augustin ~ rhetorical in nature, really: Do you, Augustin, know, at any time past, present, or future (before your death or until the return of Christ, whichever comes first) who all...

<chuckles> Well, we are the body of Christ, yes, all those who are in Christ... And, yes, "(b)lessed are (we) who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for (ours) is the kingdom of heaven," and "(b)lessed are (we) when others revile (us) and persecute (us) and utter all kinds of evil against...

Oh, idolatry manifests itself in all kinds of ways, very, very often even despite the best of intentions... No. <chuckle> Churches don't have divine attributes or marks. <smile> But God does inhabit the praises of His people, His Israel (Psalm 22:3). Grace and peace to you.

Ah, spoken like a true cultist; that's exactly what cultists think. It's a little unclear to me what exactly you mean when you speak of this "new revelation," but I'm not interested in pursuing that. Grace and peace to you.

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world" (Hebrews 1:1-2). There is no new revelation, O2Q. God has said all that...

Just because someone claims something does not mean they have or are that thing.... Idolatry is so, so insidious. There is certainly a lot of that out there, by different groups and organizations of all kinds. I say if you're looking to find the fullness of the Church established by Christ...

And I would say directed it. Worked through people and made it happen. And still is, protecting the integrity of His Word. Yes. Hmmm... Are you saying you know better than God? "Possessing"... I... wouldn't say it that way... <smile> But He is at work in men and women even today...

Uh, what? I guess all I would say to this is that what's in God's Word is in God's Word. Ugh. <smile> I would just say again, O2Q, that the God has given us His Word, and used men in various ways to do that. Grace and peace to you.

Pish. Far from it; straight Scripture, actually, in reference to Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. I mean, you can call it that, I guess, but we're talking about something that is God-breathed, so I would advise against it. <smile> "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and...

I didn't say or imply such. But sure; agree... Not at all sure why you felt compelled to tell me that... LOL! Well okay! :) Hm. Who's judging who, Amigo? :) Yes, that would be bad... :) My name is not buddy. :) Grace and peace to you, Amigo.

Whose bible? Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 are pretty clear that the gifts of the Spirit are actually gifts of the Spirit (God)... Hmmm... so two things: 1. You say modern science was born in the Catholic Church, that Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics, the...

Neither do I. I'm not sure if anything I said gave you the impression that I believed otherwise. Right. Isn't it... interesting... that we have some in this very thread saying they are of Cephas? And contending, as it were, as such? And of course, panning back out, there is a lot of that...

All the scrolls of the Old Testament most certainly existed (and were duplicated many times over). And Jesus said all of Scripture ~ Moses and the prophets, so all of the Old Testament ~ was about Him. I mean, when Jesus had His extended "teaching session" with the two men He met with on the...

There are certainly dead churches out there, Amigo. And that's terribly unfortunate, but God is sovereign over all of that. Grace and peace to you.

Absolutely true. Even the denomination of Catholicism. You know, a quick general comment about denominations, though: In the sense that there is disagreement regarding this or that in God’s word, disagreement about how to do this or that biblical thing, and such… that sort of disunity is not a...
