Hi KCKID, Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. I was also impressed by the same things that you emphasized. She did not make a big deal about the sin. Exactly! What she did talk about was how she began to read the Bible voraciously (for her project) and the effect that it had on...

The OP says, "We are to love others as Jesus loved us!" How Jesus loves us entails many different things, doesn't it? Everything thing that He deems necessary for us to maintain proper relationship with Him.

Excellent point. Jesus would not have said that if Judas was saved. He would have encouraged him as He did Peter, who denied Him, three times. Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that...

There is already a network of "underground" churches in America. There is no way to count but like homeschooling, only estimate. I have heard estimates of 20 to 30 million Christians meet in house churches in America.

If each Believer has the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth living in them, why would the Holy Spirit be a respecter of persons and not guide adopted sons of God (Hebrews 12) into the truth? Can you explain that to me?

That is a very interesting take, Willie. a. I am referring to relationship, that is true. b. I am asking if submitting to His authority (coming under it) is important in order to maintain that relationship. When I say "coming under", I imply that we don't have to "come under" or submit. Yes...

So, have any of you taken the time (you have to set aside an hour) to watch the interview of Dr. Rosaria Butterfield. She left her partner (transgender, former Baptist minister), but take note of what she says. Anyway, you have to budget some time to listen to it. Would like to hear some...

Guys and Gals, I put a great video in the Homosexuality thread and I think it speaks about love very well and there is some very good wisdom for Christians (from a former Lesbian) in regard to how they relate to other communities. I was thoroughly refreshed by Dr. Rosaria Butterfield's candid...

Hi Rex, Those are very good scriptures regarding the "bondservant". And yes, we are bondservants of Christ. Paul said that when we were baptized, we arose from the water to "walk in newness of life" (Rom. 6:4). He goes on in that same chapter to describe our new relationship to Christ as one...

It is the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth which resides in each Christian. John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17 is written to ANY MAN, not just the Apostles. The RCC through the centuries...

The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert - by Dr. Rosaria Butterfield Rosaria Butterfield was a tenured professor at Syracuse University, until God used her desire to write a book on the religious right, and the friendship of a biblically orthodox pastor, to draw her to Christ. She became a...

Ok, SIM are you misleading all of us. Can you prove what you just said in post #24 or are you just terribly mistaken?

You would seem to disagree with lesjude that those who have been born-again cannot be lost. See, I actually agree with lesjude on that one. Somehow, you think that a born-again person cannot turn back to the world and deny Christ and yet we have scripture that proves otherwise. Oh well, time to...

Here is where we will be going. He is called Lord of Lords and King of Kings for a reason. What then will be our relationship (pertaining to His authority) in our lives? Wilie, we learn about His authority as we walk with Him. I am not saying that anyone knows about His authority when they...

Isn't it amazing and the irony of God that as important as some men think Peter is, the Lord did not see fit for any corroborating witnesses in His Divinely Inspired Word? He provides everything else we need, but omits Peter. The Holy Spirit is quite the historian, too. Inspiring men to document...

I think SIM spoke the truth, and Aspen spoke what is presented to the world outside of the RCC. The RCC presents God as the big "deal broker" in the sky.

Is the Holy Spirit subservient to the "Vicar" on earth? Or does the Holy Spirit lead and guide each Christian? Jesus said, He must go away so the Holy Spirit (who teaches us all things could come). He did not say, "I must go away but the Vicar will teach you all things". John 14:16 And I...

Amen, brother! Being born-again is receiving Christ and Christ deals a death blow to the self-life and leads us increasingly into the Christ-life.

We have eyewitnesses in Rome...who....never....saw....Peter!! And people say he was there for at least 10 years????

I have something positive to say: And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. (Col 1:18) Who is this scripture referring to?
