    There is only one true church

    You don't see where I'm coming from? I'll try again. 3 questions. How can you celebrate the Sabbath on any other day than the 7th? The 7th day is holy. Sanctified. Not the 4th. Not even the 1st. Only the 7th. That's by design. And there's nothing in scripture to suggest that's changed...

    There is only one true church

    Don't limit God. He can give life to the dead. He can start a new congregation, even a denomination, and better still, a movement of Spirit filled God led born again converts to righteousness with earnest and loving hearts toward lost sinners, and having a yearning for the gospel to be taught...

    There is only one true church

    Really? Well, I am surprised. Go back to it again, start with volume 5, Britain Before the Reformation. There you will find copious references to the ancient and honourable church of the Celtic people which withstood the advances of the Roman Church for centuries.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I enjoyed that link RF, and would like to comment on the following quote from that text... The ‘reasonable’ reader of Scripture isn’t a reckless and revolutionary apprentice aiming at an aggressive deconstruction and critique of the text, but rather the one who is truly ‘reasonable’ will enjoy...

    There is only one true church

    Here is a scripture that proponents of ECT either fail to understand, or choose to ignore while declaring as truth, the precise opposite. Sadly, such abuse of Scripture, while expected outside the church, is commonplace within the church. “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of...

    Yes, all I can say is that you are confused. You would be better off if you rewrote that post, and removed everything that is speculation. In fact, that would be great if all of us did that. The only information we have regarding the first day are a couple of incidental events, and the...

    Rethinking God

    The Scripture tells us where. And yes, it matters. Fire destroys. Man is not immortal. In any sense of the word. Eternal life is given as a gift to the righteous. Sinners die. It's all so very simple. Yet you, for some strange reason, prefer a God of vindictive judgement the justice of...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    If God remembers you, you exist. If He forgets you, you're in trouble.

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Except for the fact that scripture doesn't teach that. That's just you and your very active imagination. If you want to practise and believe in a scripture based faith paradigm, then take into account every word of God, and not just one or two that seem to harmonise with your opinion. The...

    Why didn't god give every soul as much time as it needed to become good? Why send so many to hell?

    Why didn't god give every soul as much time as it needed to become good? Why send so many to hell? He did. In 2 Chronicles we are given the history of Israel in its later stages. Since the time of the escape from slavery in Egypt, God pleaded with them to obey His commandments and worship...

    There is only one true church

    @BreadOfLife That is one of the prime differences between Catholicism and true Protestantism. Catholicism claims tradition as being equal to scripture*. Protestantism claim scripture alone as the basis for all faith and practise. Two different religions, two different faith paradigms, both...

    There is only one true church

    Of course it's an indictment against Protestantism, and that's the whole point. Sometimes you are very slow BoL. So. How is it an indictment against protestantism? As the Archbishop of Reggio said, and he was correct, (remember, this is the council of Trent) Protestants cannot claim any...

    There is only one true church

    You don't have scripture to support your false idol, tradition doesn't verify any Apostolic roots of first day sacredness, so you have to resort to the above? You remind me of the centuries that passed whereby popes used the donation of Constantine to extend papal power. Isn't that what I...

    Rethinking God

    Where is the future lake of fire, into which the devil, the false prophet etc are to be thrown?

    There is only one true church

    “7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. ” Acts 20:7-8 KJV The...

    There is only one true church

    Since when did English grammar direct that to fulfil something it must mean it's cancelled. The letter of the law is cancelled? So adultery is no longer sinful, because Jesus "fulfilled" the 7th commandment? Please explain in practical terms how that works. You might like to start with...

    There is only one true church

    Everything you said about shadows I agree with. And I also agree that there are Sabbath days that are shadows, the thing is though that Paul qualifies those things on verse 16 by the word shadows. He is talking about the sabbaths that are shadows, along with meats and drinks and holy days...

    Klaus Schwab Warns of “an Era of Shock Events”

    Is it not a mistaken political agenda that creates the image of the beast, and enforces its mark? I would think that's worth watching. Then there's the beast itself as it emerges from hibernation and begins to mark its territory, the extent of which is only recently becoming apparent, except...

    Do you think that people in Heaven miss their loved ones still on Earth?

    Then this Jesus you spoke with contradicted His own scriptures?

    Do you think that people in Heaven miss their loved ones still on Earth?

    But when???!!!?? That's the question. The Bible gives us the only true answer. The time when we are taken to heaven... the time we receive immortality... right now, you are being tested. Your faithfulness and loyalty isn't yet sure. That is something Paul told us to make sure of. You can...
