    What have you cooked lately?

    My son is a chef, we take turns to cook for ourselves, his mum, and our 22 year old grandson. We eat very well. But mum and I are getting on now, so we don't have huge appetites. The last time I cooked something different was a sweet n sour chicken. My own sauce, rice, and veggies. The chef son...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Goes to show that education, no matter how many letters one may have after his name, is no guarantee to making good decisions.

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    The universe is unbelievably vast, millions of light years from one star to another, with unknown numbers of worlds in between. How could anyone get bored exploring all of that with the stories we have to tell different beings of creation aspects of God love for sinners that they could not...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Compassion increases toward those who need it more. The greater the sin, the greater the forgiveness. But Compassion should never, ever, preclude anyone from telling the truth and exposing the sin of institutions and churches and nations that habitually and repetitively commit crimes against...

    Satan as Scapegoat

    I am intrigued then how you reconcile that as being applicable to Jesus. Please explain.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Acts 20:29-30 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. KJV 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Matthew 18:15-17 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Like a leech or a parasite, the Catholic Church is only strong in direct relation to its connectedness to political powers. In medieval times she was closely connected to the kings and queens of Europe, and through them ruled the lives of millions. The Vatican's goal is a global version of that...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Further to the above... When the Catholic Church lost its civil authority, all political Governments in Europe thought she was finished. Many celebrated that at long last the bondage they were held by papal authority was at an end. These prophecies, among several others, give powerful historic...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Historical and Prophetic claim to global supremacy and authority, and the biblical denunciation of such principles. KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    This thread topic is about Papal authority, you are asking me about biblical church authority, an entirely different fish and one which my church does subscribe to. We reject the following as tyrannical, despotic, and satanic. The Pope's "authority" is not merely to the "church" but the...

    Satan as Scapegoat

    Indeed, and well noticed. I would suggest that one must remember the purpose of the day of atonement. It was for the cleansing of the sanctuary. It was for the purpose of putting away of sins permanently from the house of Israel. Those sins, which had been previously confessed and transferred to...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The apostles and even Jesus himself warned that there would be a great falling away from truth. That falling away we are told would begin with the demise of the last of the Apostles, and it would result in spiritual divorce, apostasy, a departure from what was originally a right relationship...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Well no, not really. I mean, it isn't like anyone could disagree with scripture when Jesus said, "if you love Me, keep My Commandments." Of course, the question everyone then asks, what are Jesus's Commandments? Frankly, it isn't me again, or simply my opinion that declares that Exodus 20:2-17...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I have made no claim that any Pope or any future Pope was, or may be, the Antichrist. What I do have is much biblical prophetic and historical evidence that the system of theology, soteriology, as taught by the church and the union of church and state as practised by the Papacy is Antichrist...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Not a very clever switcheroo, but you tried. The question I answered wasn't about my church, it was about papal authority.

    Trump ~ guilty

    I agree with you regarding the corruption that is rife throughout government...and it doesn't end with just the politicians. Unelected bureaucrats can also be involved in corruption. But we are duel citizens. We are foremost citizens of heaven, operating under a reigning King. We are also legal...

    Rethinking God

    Hate can, but does not necessarily exclude or contradict love. Love and hate are not opposites. To hate is to make one an enemy. Does God not love even His enemies?
