    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    firstthings1st, There are some things in Scripture that are a mystery. When encountering such mysteries, while I might privately speculate, I don't believe it is appropriate to share my speculations with any other than my most intimate friends who know me and know where it is coming from. In...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Mary, while I enjoy reading about the beliefs of the Fathers, my beliefs are based SOLEY upon the canon of Scripture, the concept of "Sola Scriptura" embraced by Eusebius AD 325: In his Second Book against Sabellius, he expressly declares: that since the word is not in Scripture, it is...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    farouk, Why did I have to hide my Bible? I can't tell you. God has forbidden me to do so. Over the years, God has given me access to some of the most intimate details of my parent's life, and I could say a whole lot of things about them, and as such, God has given me strict instructions to keep...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    But I revere the Old Covenant that was created by God. It was a good Covenant under which God promised that “ALL Israel will be saved.” But salvation of all Israel was God’s choice. But under the New Covenant, God is now offering Israel a New and better choice, a choice where He gives the choice...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Mary>> "Sooooo your not willing to admit you were wrong about the CC not serving wine at mass??? :rolleyes: BTW....each church (or diocese) gets to decide if they serve it. AND you have no evidence to prove your claim that they wanted to kill or cut off the beard of the man????? :(" Mary, If...

    Davy said >> "Thing is though, you don't really know who God's Israel actually is!" Okay, but for anyone who can read the English language, it is abundantly clear to me.

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Mary says >>"First I would like to address your misconception that wine is not served at communion. It still is and I partake of it every Sunday at my church. It makes me sad :( that you turned your misconception into a ugly rant by putting down The Church and the good men who serve God and the...

    I am 77 years old and really don’t have the ability to sit in church for the duration of a service.

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    I don't know where Heaven is. I checked my GPS, and doesn't seem to be a local entity. It seems to be a place that will be home to "a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" Rev 7

    Reggie Belafonte said >> "Only morons peddle the race card. the history of the Jewish people always failed in fact when they turned from God, we can see it crashing time and time again, they are a disaster" Okay Reggie. You have declared God to be a moron!! Like it or not, God is definitely a...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Nope! He did not leave earth in a human body, but an eternal resurrection body, and He will return the same way!

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Quiethinker, I agree with you. I have no idea where Mary might have been infected with this non-Scriptural ideology, but my heart goes out to her as she carries this unnecessary burden! Jesus came to set us free from the Law; the law of rules and regulations. Let us learn to embrace His eternal...

    You are indeed a heretic, denying Scripture, and rewriting it with YOUR own Scripture, an endeavour I can only envision as coming from the father of lies.

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Yes Mary. Whether I commemorate my Saviour's death and resurrection at church or at home, that's totally between me and Him. He is the one that doesn't look upon the outward appearance, but sees what is in the heart. I have studied the writings of the Early Church Fathers, and how things...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    >>One can't observe the sacraments on one's own???? Is that something that can be found in the Bible, or only in the Gospel According to Deborah??

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Well, Jesus did this in the upper room of a house as part of the evening meal. And early Christians did the same thing before there was such a thing as a church building. They observed the commemorance with the bread and the wine with their evening dinner.

    The saints of Israel

    Enoch >> Other Scriptures tell us that only one-third of all the Jews who will be gathered from all over the world to Israel will be saved. (Zech 13:8,9) Yep. And when you make statements like this demonstrates the need for rightly dividing the word of truth. This is an event that will take...

    The saints of Israel

    A "Jew" is simply one who is of the Tribe of Judah, who have descended from Judah, although over time, it has been diluted to include all of the descendants of Israel. I am really not going to get into that nonsense. "The reality is that the title of 'Jew' does not... mean a race. Sammy Davis...

    The saints of Israel

    I didn't think it was all that difficult to understand. Women have nothing whatsover to do with lineage. Lineage is passed on from generation to generation solely by the male. Mothers, wives and daughters don't matter, because they can never pass on their lineage to the next generation because...
