    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    I came to faith in Jesus Christ in the Phillipines, not in a church or christian conference. I then had to go back onto a ship with 5,500 men not knowing any Christians. I would read the Bible voraciously each day after my shift (I had night shift). The more I read the Scriptures, the more my...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    Actually, you are changing the story. If you look closely at God's word with an open heart you will see that the hierarchy of the RCC is in rebellion to Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. It is possible to only know the authority of men and being told that it is the "authority of God". This is...

    What denomination would you say is the one most genuinely representing the original teaching of Chri

    You don't have to be pro-denominationalism or anti-denominationalism. You just have to understand that God's children (children of God by faith in Jesus Christ) are everywhere.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    I don't know how you confuse things. I notice that you do that with Rex, too. The Church has always been alive. The Lord has seen to that. He is the life of the Church. And He has preserved His Word for the Church (Psalm 12). And He gives His Spirit to each member. Now you're talking!!

    TRUTH

    Following are excerpts from only a few ex-RCC priests that salvation is by works, in the book: Henry Gregory Adams. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada. He entered the Basilian Order of monks and adopted the monastic name of "Saint Hilarion the Great." He was ordained as a priest and served five...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Oh, my friend, I don't ignore those verses at all. They are speaking of a spiritual entity/organization (religion) on many waters (all nations). We are talking here about the consummation of all things, not about the physical city of Rome falling. And we are talking about an entity that...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Selene, eyewitnesses of Christ cannot continue. They all died. Yes, the ministry of Christ continues as He has not died. He is alive and the HEAD OF HIS CHURCH. The members of the Church that were eyewitnesses of Christ did die. There is no one today who was an eyewitness of Christ's life, His...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Selene, can't you see that the Lord provided eyewitnesses for major events in the life of the Church? Your only proof comes on the scene when all the eyewitnesses are dead. There are no eyewitnesses in the early church for Peter in Rome. There are no eyewitnesses for Peter being the Pope. There...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    The Scriptures and major events are eyewitness-approved. I think it is significant that Jesus and the Apostles did nothing in secret. Jesus preached the good news of the Kingdom of God completely in the open. No secret meetings, no clandestine committees. He preached to the public; the...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Did I mention anything about what others claim? I thought we are only talking about what the RCC claims? The RCC is not the only one that claims fiction. Claiming Peter was in Rome is fiction. He was a first century Apostle and there is no mention in the Acts of the Apostles of his Papacy or...

    TRUTH

    Surely, even our Catholic friends would say that salvation is found in the person of Jesus Christ and He does not confine Himself to one organization. I think the Catholic contingent is only trying to tell us that we won't experience the "fullness" of Christ unless we "come back" to the...

    Ugandan President Repents of Personal, National Sins

    The Ugandan newssite New Vision reports President Yoweri Museveni celebrated Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence from Britain at the National Jubilee Prayers event by publicly repenting of his personal sin and the sins of the nation. “I stand here today to close the evil past, and...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    That's wonderful reasoning Neo, and it explains how ALL of your RCC dogmas and doctrines came to be. What's next?

    It's the "church" doors we should care about.

    TRUTH

    Dear Selene, You think Jesus bases success on numbers? I see that you do. Don't fall for that trap. Dear Selene, You think Jesus bases success on numbers? I see that you do. Don't fall for that trap.

    The disastrous failure of the early church

    Very good point, ZH. Being conformed to the image of Christ is what's its all about, because only that proves that one knows the Lord and is abiding in Him. Signs and wonders can be counterfeited but not the inward work of the Holy Spirit. Satan is all about the external and being showy.

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    Very much agree with you and Dragonfly, Alan. But, of course you're "singing to the choir". The RCC has their own choir, but I don't recognize the song.

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    And yet, we really don't have a need for the Aramaic or Greek in this instance because ALL SCRIPTURE testifies as to WHO the ROCK is. This verse stands as a testimony and a witness against the Catholic church. 1Pe_2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Interesting that their "flagship" verse establishing the Papacy, is not straightforward. You have to go into the Aramaic and like all their unsubstantiated claims, take their word for it. But, then again nothing is straightforward in their dogma. And there are no prophecies concerning Jesus the...
