    Final Authority and Final Canonization

    Why are you shouting?? If you think that I am incorrect in something, all you need to do is show me where I am incorrect. There is no need to shout. Exactly, which is it that you disagree with?? I went by what history says.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    That would be the emperor Nero, the ruler of Rome, and the government of Rome. Nero was the one who murdered thousands of Christians in the arenas of Rome. Nero was a pagan. He was not a Christian. The Roman Christians at that time were not even in power, and they were in hiding. The...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    And at that time, when John wrote those words, it was the pagan Roman empire.....and John even gave a clue that it was Rome. Revelations 17:9 "This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. Rome is the only country that has seven hills. This is...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    First of all, Episkospos is incorrect. Catholics never said that Babylon is referred to as Rome ONLY in 1 Peter 5:13. I am a Catholic and nowhere under this thread have I ever said that Babylon refers to Rome ONLY in 1 Peter 5:13. Babylon is also Rome in Revelations. WHERE is the evidence...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Actually, it depends on what one is supporting them for that determines whether it is a Christian thing to do. I don't think that supporting a family member who wants to commit abortion would be very Christian-like. It would be more Christian if one were to encourage the family member NOT to...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Actually, it is incorrect to say that God is not concern with anyone's sex life. Adultery is a sexual immorality and God specifically commanded us not to commit adultery; therefore, He is indeed concern with man's sex life. To say that God is not concern with the sex lives of anyone is false...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    God linked the Jewish Sabbath to the Old Creation where God created everything for 6 days and rested on the 7th day. While it is true that observing the Sabbath is in the Ten Commandments, it is also a covenant between the Jewish people and God. Exodus 31:16-17 Wherefore the children of...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    I agree. God can redeem a homosexual. But the choice is up to the homosexual. Does he/she want to be redeem or prefer to go on living a homosexual lifestyle. Any person who advocates for homosexuality or same sex marriage is only making it harder for them to accept Christ. Furthermore...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    An overstatement?? Below is what you stated to Justin in your post: You have found Justin to be compassionate and tolerant; yet, you and KCKID continue to debate with him and other Christians under this thread regarding our views on homosexuality. You even misinterpret scripture to your...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Because Paul was a Roman citizen (See Acts 22:24-27). The Apostles Peter and John who used the name "Babylon" were NOT Roman citizens.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    It's ironic that when I cite Strong's biblical translation from the King James Bible of the word "Babylon" how everyone else decide to post negative things about the RCC rather than sticking to the issue that I had just posted. Suddenly, people are posting about their past experiences of being...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    I agree that what homosexuals do in their bedrooms is their own business. That's their choice, and I never had any problems with this. If they wish to commit homosexual acts, that is not my problem. However, it becomes everyone's problem when gay activists go into the public schools and...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Axehead, I cited the King James Bible as stating that the word "Babylon" is referred to as Rome. This is coming from the King James Bible, which is a Protestant Bible. Therefore, even the Protestant scholars believed that the word "Babylon" in the New Testament is referring to Rome. So...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Love is what drives couples. Married couples have sex because of their love for one another. Love is a giving of oneself to the other. My friend, there are homosexuals I know who chose to not to engage in the act of homosexuality. They struggle with lust just as we all do. This gay person...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Dragonfly, in the Old Testament, Babylon was referred to as the country that is now Iraq. BUT in the New Testament, Babylon refers to Rome because it was pagan Rome who conquered Israel. Strong's biblical translation from the King james Bible also says that Babylon was referring to pagan Rome...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Christians should start spreading the research studies on the sexual lifestyle of gay men. The more people educate themselves with the truth of this information, many will change their minds.

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    If one can tell a pedophile to control his attraction for very young children, then one can do the same for the homosexual person. They also need to control their attraction for the same sex. Lust and sexual desire are the same. Love is the giving of oneself to the other person. Lust is...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Actually, studies have shown that a large majority of gay men do not lead a healthy sex life. Studies show that most gay men acquire many sexual diseases than heterosexual men mainly because of the type of sexual activity that gay men engage in, which is anal sex. The same research study also...

    Scripture references/Reincarnation

    Who do they say the Son of Man is? Some say Elijah and others say John the Baptist. This does not mean "reincarnation." It means that someone like Elijah or John the Baptism has returned. The Bible also said that someone like Moses will come after him. Christians say that this someone is...

    Final Authority and Final Canonization

    The ORIGINAL KJV contained the apocrypha because those books were considered inspired by God for thousands of years. The canon of Scripture was closed in 393 AD at the Council of Hippo. If you studied what books were canonized by the Early Church in 393 AD, you would have found that what you...
