Like which one Windmill? The ones that use rock music? The ones that promise God will give you everything you ask for? The ones that have communion once a month or once a year? Which one is correct in their teaching? Look at this forum.... Do you have 10 members that agree with each other? And...

The Rosary has a very specific reason and it's this: People did not read the bible in ancient times. There were different ways that the CC, the ONLY church existing back then, had to teach rather illiterate persons about the bible stories. One way was from the depictions in church paintings...

I haven't read through and don't plan to. I know Catholic theology, used to be a Catholic, became Protestant (Nazarene, AofG theology) am becoming disenamoured of Protestantism due to the many fractions and denominations---this cannot be possible if there's only ONE TRUTH....there cannot be many...

It's like this on every forum.... I had started a thread once titled: DO PROTESTANTS NEED A POPE? Sometimes I think Catholics have one over on us.... some of their doctrine is wrong but at least they don't believe odd ideas. By odd, I mean ideas that a Catholic makes up on his own.

LOL I can't understand half the stuff he's saying and I see that verses are taken out of context. It's almost impossible to have a real conversation.

Yes. The above is what I understand the mark to be....although I'm no expert with Revelation.

I haven't studied Revelation and so I have no comment on Rev 13:16 I will, however, say that I've never heard it explained this way before.... You seem to have your own way of understanding everything biblical... I apologize for not being able to post to you....I just find it too difficult.

Yes. I was happy to read you post because this aspect of the logos is never discussed. I agree fully, Jesus can be said to be the Personification of the Logos. Thanks for adding to my understanding and using good words.

That's very nice, but I'll stick to the bible. Which is what YOU should do. What would happen if each one of us came on these forums with our very own idea of what Christianity is or what spirituality is? You're so far off course I have no choice but to leave this highway. I do apologize for...

part 2 of 2 @FaithWillDo Sorry F, but you need to study some theology. These are the gifts Adam and Eve had been given to them by God: They were meant to live forever... IMMORTALITY They lived in harmony with God and were innocent until they became ashamed of their nakedness... ABSENCE OF THE...

Faith, I'm not here to suggest which version you should be reading, but the Concordant Literal Translation leaves much to be desired. Here's Ecclesiastes 1:13 in a different version You'll see that it does not intend to say what you understand it to mean: NIV 13I applied my mind to study and...

Yes! Agreed. I do believe the other member is incorrectly exegeting verses. Preconceived ideas would cause this to happen.... reading INTO--------- (eisegesis) instead of OUT FROM..(exegesis)

I don't see any contradiction above to what I stated. Agreed. I see no contradiction to what I've stated. I'm sure you know about Divine Simplicity. Can God be separated from ANY of His "parts"? It's not correct to use the word PARTS, but, quite frankly, I don't know how else to describe it...

Or they're going to a church that slowly but surely confuses the mind by incorrectly exegeting verses to agree with Calvin, and the like, instead of what the NT actually says and is in plain sight for all to see. Anyone reading the NT on their own would NEVER come to the conclusion that God...

Confessing and believing are works? Your post if for @marks but I'd like to see some verses that state that confessing and believing is a work - especially in light of the fact that Paul made it a POINT to state that faith is NOT a work..... and confessing and believing are both involved with...

Teach? You teach? You have a PhD after your name? I'd like to post this verse for you: James 3:1 1Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. I'm ignoring your verses because they really have little or nothing to...

What version are you reading? What do you think Ecc 1:13 is stating? So you think God makes mistakes? What does Romans 8:20 have to do with your statement that God made Adam and Eve GOOD? I can't spend time trying to exegete verses you don't seem to grasp My statement is that GOD MADE ADAM...

No problem Brakelite.... I'm just going to go thru and reply.... Not to change the subject but why are the creeds not biblical? And then we'd have to discuss how we each understand the Trinity. Isn't there only ONE WAY to understand the trinity in Christianity? I'm being a little flippant...

Tough nut to Crack.

Arthur, In Calvinism THERE IS NO GOSPEL. If you THINK there is, then please explain to us WHAT THE GOOD NEWS IS.... Thanks.
