I don't know where all these "Doctors" of the Church came from but there is no mention of them in the Scriptures. I think when people don't agree with Scripture they turn to a Doctor to support their theology. These so-called "Doctors" of the Church are trotted out by people as on the same level...

We have to consider idols in our heart and what or who we run to when we need comfort and solace in this life. If Jesus were calling you to come to him with your whole heart, would you be able to do that when you have that "urge?" If you are not able to come to Jesus when you have an urge for...

Strat, I think you are right. No kingdom of this world has ever been run on forgiveness or non-resistance. At first I thought Switzerland would prove us wrong, but though they have a long history of neutrality they were in a state of war prior to 1815. Axehead

Nevertheless, the law is still here. The scriptures are clear that it has not died. Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as...

Hi XP, I was expecting you. I am not talking about preaching the Gospel. I am talking about the "source of truth". That would be the body part you neglected, namely the Head. The Head transmits "messages" to the Body. The Head communicates what it (He) wants the members of the Body to do...

Jesus is the source of truth. The Church did not authenticate the mission of Jesus or His message. I don't think the Jewish priests and scribes were gladly verifying Jesus' claims and teachings. So, how were His teachings authenticated and confirmed as from God? 1. Jesus did not expect...

Great post, dragonfly! I enjoyed reading it very much. We cannot underestimate the spiritual forces that have aligned themselves against God and men. Axehead

Hi Nomad, I'm still paying attention and thank you for your contribution. Very informative. Axehead

Yep, there are two sides of the coin and thank you for continuing to provide the "other side." What you are saying is that many draw near to God with their lips but their heart is far from Him. So, how can God use us to strengthen and encourage our brethren? 2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the...

Defending the principle that every human life regardless of sexual orientation is of eternal value and worth to God should be foundational to Christians. I don't think Christians should support legislation that deprives others of life and dignity which is based on sexual orientation within the...

The Bible without the Holy Spirit is a dead letter. Religious organizations ("churches") without the Holy Spirit will only diminish Christ and His Word and gather men around men instead of to Christ. Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut...

My sheep know My voice. (John 10) And another they will not follow. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Heb 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, (not if He will speak, but if we will listen and...

I think most homosexuals are brought into homosexuality from circumstances in their childhood. Some people are brought into homosexuality by circumstances later in life, such as prison, military services, bisexual experiences, etc. These will not have the deep roots of an early childhood...

I do agree with that, Kepha. Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith...

Amen Dragonfly! It is about being in subjection to the Father (right relationship) so that we can know His will and do it. It's not about us doing what we think is the correct thing to do. The good works we do are to be as we are in subjection to the Father's authority and abiding in His Son...

Your testimony also encourages me and others, Tempera. Thanks for being willing to share. It really is all about Him and what He can do in us and through us. 2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of...

The Law of the Spirit, continued. Just wanted to "top off" some thoughts on my last post on the Law of the Spirit. The Law of the Spirit is a principle or governing force operating within man. It is a principle that not only governs his behavior, but also a power that overcomes desires that...

Sin did not put Him on the Cross. God sent His Son and Jesus became obedient unto death. His will agreed with His Father's will ("not my will but thine be done") John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 10:18 No man taketh it...

More importantly, can you give me a reference where the Roman Catholic Church, refutes and denies any of this?
