Spend time with your wife and family so they don't end up shipwrecked and like the early church, find a job, working with your own hands as Paul and the other Apostles exemplified. And if you truly believe God has called you then you will believe God will provide all your needs (even a good...

Look, it's really quite simple and you don't need to understand greek or hebrew or aramaic. You only need to compare spiritual things with spiritual things and have the Holy Spirit who will give you understanding. When one starts going into Aramaic and Greek, you know "something" is up. Now...

[/color][/font] I don't defend Protestantism since there will only be "blood bought saints of God" in heaven. I do understand why history is very important to them, and why they do not tolerate re-written history. I can understand why people rebelled when they found out that what they were...

Then be happy with your Church and don't listen to the naysayers. I'm getting there Mungo. You guys are keeping us quite busy. Amen, ByGrace! There is only one source who is the Adversary, Enemy. But he works through unsuspecting men.

Neo, the problem of illiteracy was solved very nicely and with much love. Col_4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. The epistles were read to everyone that could not read...

[/color] The only "fathers" of the Church are the NT writers for they were the only ones inspired by the Holy Spirit. All other writings are subservient to the New Testament and tested by what the Holy Spirit says through the New Testament writers. We only reject so-called historical...

I'm sorry, Selene. You are still missing the vital witness of the Scriptures. No prophecy concerning major doctrines of the RCC or the witness of believers. One scripture regarding Babylon and one scripture regarding Jesus making Peter the head of the Church thereby taking the Lord's authority...

Very good points, df. I am also listening to the Spirit and as yet, do not hear Him blessing polygamy.

Hi there, Selene, Again, I think the RCC is taking great license with one whole verse and building a dogma on it. There are no eyewitnesses in Scripture that ever saw Peter in Rome and there are many people that were mentioned in Rome. By the way, if Peter was using Babylon as a code word for...

What about Saturnalia?

Neo, if you really believe all that you said, then be happy in them. The crusades are over, aren't they? We are going round and round and round. I told you that I can only follow the Voice that I recognize and I don't recognize the voice behind your "truth". Do you believe in the power of...

Why do you say anti-Catholics? Why not non-Catholics, since we are not anti-people. That makes people sound like they hate Catholics. Is that by design or just an oversight?

Hi Selene, Can you tell me what Peter meant by the following "code" names? You said in my "Was Peter ever in Rome" thread, that Babylon was "code" for Rome. What cities was he really talking about in 1Peter 1:1 if he spoke in code? Axehead 1 Peter 1:1 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to...

Whitestone and Dragonfly, Very excellent and inspiring posts. They just made my spirit leap and I began praising the Lord that He is alive and well and still the Authority in His Church. He did not give up His authority to anyone. He is leading and guiding His children by His Spirit. None of...

What our Catholic friends are either failing to grasp or are in complete denial about is the "weight" of Scriptures given for extremely important events and then eyewitnesses of that event. What I mean by that is God gave prophetic utterances in the OT for things that would happen in New...

Mungo, God would have already set the precedent of His word being passed down orally without any writing of it before the NT was written. The exact opposite is the case. Can you show me where this precedent exists because the Jewish people were so meticulous in writing down God's word that to...

Thank you, Whitestone. Nice to see you again. Did you see this one yet. Was Peter Ever in Rome? Axehead

I have said it before and I will say it again. if Oral Tradition is so reliable and important (and God's words, now less), why did the Catholic church think to write it down while the Apostles did not? (Actually, the Apostles did write down what they orally shared.) Hmmm..... And if Oral...

It is with anything that "captures" our hearts and becomes an idol that we look to instead of looking to Jesus. We need to come to Him with all of our heart and not be JOINED to anything else in our hearts but Him. Anything or anyone that diminishes or takes away from Jesus Christ is always a...

Paul, meeting with the elders of the church in Ephesus. Act 20:17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. Act_20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Act 20:30 Also of your own selves...
