I agree on all. Anyone might have the power/ability to heal and instead some ordained ministers/priests may not. God gives different gifts to all. 1 Peter 4:10 10As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: Romans 12:6a Having gifts that...

LOL Who said I cared to debate with you? Hence no rebuttle to rediculous claims. Sorry didn't read the entire post.

The other poster stated that BELIEVING is a work. That would make FAITH a work. Paul specifically taught that faith and works are totally different. He said: IF IT IS BY FAITH, THEN IT IS NOT OF WORKS. Romans 11:6 Faith is NOT a work. It is a free gift of God... Ephesians 2:8 I know very well...

Could you please post some scripture that states that works are condemned by scripture? Do you understand the difference between WORKS OF THE LAW and WORKS? Perhaps it's time that you learn the difference? The entire NT speaks about doing good works. Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your...

Is healing all we seek from ordained elders? This would be one of the items. How about Marriage, Burial, Teaching, Fellowship, Confession (for some denominations), there must be more that doesn't come to mind right now. As to signs and wonders.... Of course if we could see signs and wonders it...

Yes. Sorry I missed this. Am I supposed to attempt to justify Christianity to you Auntie Jane? All of the above are scriptural except for one doctrine,,,,which MIGHT be true, or might not. Just as an example: There were FIVE Popes by the 2nd century, but it began in the 1st century. You, or...

Ditto. HOW FORM WHO Regarding Jesus' resurrection. BINGO! What more need be said.... So good of you.... But this won't be necessary.

Seems like we go from one extreme to the other. I fear for the church.

Learn about the preternatural gifts. Only if you want to learn something new, of course. Doesn't look like it.

Great post Uncle! And there's much more if we wanted to sit here and think of some more sins. I think part of the problem (maybe all of it - who knows) is that some are not very sensitive to what sin is and so they think that since they don't commit any big sins, then they feel they don't sin...

@face2face Hi F2F, Please see post 203 by Auntie Jane. I agree with almost all she's stated. Everlasting life means that life will end here on earth and continue in heaven. Immortal means that it will have no end in its present form. I disagree with the fact that Adam and Eve were not...

Oh, for sure. The first Christian Jews met in the synagogue. Depends what you mean by institution. Don't you think the church is an institution? Just to clarify: an organization founded for a religious, educational, professional, or social purpose. "an academic institution" source: google

Then read the Nicene Creed and you post from the above after deciding you agree with the Nicene Creed ! LOL (you know I don't care to rummage through commentaries).

Hmmm. I don't think you could edit the title or add a warning to it. I think that would require the source code. Let's continue and see what happens....

She comes here on vacation from No. Carolina. I'll be seeing her in late Sept, early Oct. How about sending me a PM and reminding me?? I'm sure she'll just LOVE telling me all about it ! I too have found that it's useless to discuss. I used to do this for those reading along but I'm becoming...

Hi Johann It would be nice if you stayed here....I know that you're very knowledgeable and could add to this study. I'm going to post the Nicene Creed and say that I find it difficult to believe that you don't agree with it. I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth...

Yes, a physical church where members could meet... an institution. Jesus realized that HIS Way would never be accepted. He sent the Apostles out to witness to the known world regarding the teachings of Jesus and baptism. Matthew 28:19 Eventually, in fact, the Christian Jews would no longer be...

Face, I have an acquaintance that's a JW. I've heard such weird stuff from her that I can hardly take it anymore. Besides, the other member has told me a couple of times how uneducated I am so it's rather amazing to me that she even wants to discuss with me. Maybe next time I'm with the girl I...

No plan B. But your first paragraph sounds a bit reformed. Do you believe God put the tree there as a test or specifically so ADAM could sin? I detect a difference.

Not interested. Sorry.
