    The twelfth Apostle

    The problem is that you (and church doctrine) place a greater significance on the "signs of an apostle" when they are actually the lesser. For the greater things of God are unseen. Therefore Jesus said: John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will...

    The twelfth Apostle

    You are repeatedly making this about me. Stop it. As for Maria-- that's cute, but not in accord with biblical precedence. If she were actually sent by God, she would be equal to John, not less.

    The twelfth Apostle

    So...I see we have a comprehension issue here. Are you not reading my responses to you and therefore think I did not do what I actually did? You need to do better than that.

    The twelfth Apostle

    I already gave you many examples of biblical confirmations in scripture. But no, I am not saying that Revelation 2:17 confirms my experience. Again, this is not about me. I just gave it to give you something to answer to, that perhaps Maria was given a name only known to her. If she had...

    The twelfth Apostle

    This isn't about me. But I have biblical confirmation from scripture. Does Maria?

    The twelfth Apostle

    He can help you with that too.

    The twelfth Apostle

    Jesus referred to Abraham and Solomon; David and others prophesied of Him; John the Baptist and Peter confirmed that He was the Christ; Witnesses confirmed Paul's road to Damascus experience, etc.. As for those given the hidden manna, it is written: Revelation 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him...

    The twelfth Apostle

    If you want to tell Jesus that He is out of context when summarizing in Mark, feel free.

    The twelfth Apostle

    When the Word of God says He has told you all things (in summary), it is He who has given the context. By definition, "all" means all.

    The twelfth Apostle

    No, that is not what I asked. But rather that your provide chapter and verse of scripture confirming that she is sent by God.
  11. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    One at a time: Mark 13:23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
  12. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    That is not the test. To the contrary, what if any biblical confirmation, can you present that confirms that she has been sent by God?
  13. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    I suspect that each of these points should be taken one at a time. Indeed, there are specifics in the word of God, and there are also general terms. It is the general term of Christ being the Word of God which causes every word from God to be included when He says, "I have told you all things"...

    The twelfth Apostle

    I understand that is the common doctrinal belief among the church, however the word "apostle" simply means "one sent." As for "the signs of an apostle", indeed, one sent is sent by the power of God to perform the gift that he is sent to do...and yet there are many gifts given by God all of...

    Many Denominations

    If one goes shopping for a turkey and comes home with a turnip, Thanksgiving will be without meat. Seriously, just as we are a body of many [different] members, we are also one of different gifts; and if the wrong gift is applied in the wrong place, there is no service to God. Thus, it is good...

    Many Denominations

    If the body of the church were turkey, the first question would be, "Dark meat or white?" All kidding aside, we are a body of many members and therefore it is completely fine that there are many denomination (even though some do not qualify to be of the body of Christ). As such, indeed, a nose...

    A Christian voting for President now may be a sin

    It would appear that you have not made yourself completely clear here. Did I miss something? Are there only women candidates for President in 2024?
  18. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    Paul didn't completely mix it up (himself with the 12), because Jesus didn't. At this point we should all understand that Jesus and the cross was and is the apex of all things. Everything before was before, and everything after was after: "to the Jew first and also to the Greek." The 12 then...
  19. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    Jesus declared that He has "told us all things." Past tense. Meaning that Revelation 22:18 does indeed apply-- however, there is an exception...and it is huge! First of all, it is important to know and acknowledge that the Bible and what is included or excluded is God's (the Word of God's)...

    What is the Lords Day?

    Sunday is simply the first day of beginning anew, new life, eternal life, celebrating the resurrection of Christ who rose the third day after being crucified, in whom we too have new life.
