    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    Well, let's see.... Romans 10:14 KJV How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 1 Corinthians 1:21 KJV For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew...

    THE CHURCH DID NOT START AT PENTECOST

    Paul was declared as the apostle to the gentiles, and Peter to the Jews. Gal 2:8. Yet, you are correct about Cornelius, and Paul had more than a few Jews under his ministry. For what it's worth, let's not forget the other Apostles... Judging where it's reported they went, they did so to...

    THE CHURCH DID NOT START AT PENTECOST

    Like the thought, but disagree with the conclusion. In the OT there isn't much talk of a kingdom of heaven or much about an afterlife. (If I am am mistaken, let me know). Jesus preached heavily about such a kingdom. No doubt, the Jews were looking for one on Earth. They were expecting a...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    Yea That's right! He didn't discard the OT, he relied on it and taught it to his disciples. There is no way to use any of this discourse to support any notion, if you have such, to dismiss scripture when Jesus obeyed it, was prophecies in it and taught it. I've already explained this...

    THE CHURCH DID NOT START AT PENTECOST

    I like most of what you said. Doing a word search confirms that Paul was the only one to use the phrase "body of Christ" to describe the Church. Still,. BOL is correct( as I see you agree) that Jesus equated the Church with himself in Acts 9. Even before that, in John14:20 Jesus I am in you...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    [Edit]. I didn't notice this in my first draft of this post:. You didn't bring that verse up! Why would I acknowledge a verse unless it's presented? If you want me to discuss a verse, bring it up. Even so, I did discuss the context and you quoted me as doing so. The verse I quoted puts it in...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    A nonsensical reply as you didn't say what is referring to. I prefer to do it with my heart open and my mind willing.

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    How so? Did I not say the spirit does teach all men? Perhaps you don't like how it's done, but the very verse you quoted from I Corinthians points that out. Yep, that's right after Jesus told them to search the scriptures. You must be on a different forum... Would you rather us argue over...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    Ok, that last bit is debatable. But let's not debate that right now... If he is not bound by the Bible, does he have authority to contradict it? Yep. Great verse. Few questions: Who was he talking to? A:. The disciples and future Apostles. Now, were they guided by the Spirit? Absolutely...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    I am not of the opinion that one is more important than the other. But consider that 1 John 4:1 says we aren't to believe all spirits but to try them. How are you to try them? John goes on to give a few ways, and one of those ways was to hear the Apostles (verse 6). This is how you discern...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    Interesting thing is that I haven't seen Ronald respond to one of the rebuttals. I am fine with that. Maybe he is just monitoring what is said. So, here's my take: Well, he didn't directly. A guide for life? It is that, but it's supposed to be much more. Is there not an afterlife? Are...

    Joe Biden

    It's amazing how silent the left wing media is on this after they were so outraged with Trump and Kavenaugh. At least Fox news addressed the problem by defending them. The left media isn't even acknowledging it.

    Joe Biden

    Gee... I mean I saw him on The View with Whoopie and Joy Bahar. I didn't notice him doing anything out of place there. He fit right in the conversation!

    Proverbs

    I carried a pocket NT for years... It had Psalms and Proverbs.

    Good point! I got 3 cats of my own.... I sometimes wish I had their life!

    And just when you thought they couldn't get any loonier...

    Please! When Bill Gates can figure out how to keep viruses from infecting Windows, then I will think about listening to him about how to keep it from infecting humans! Sorry folks... I am not one big on following conspiracy theories. Some of them might be true totally or to some degree. But...

    Doubting Thomas

    Gerhard, please excuse me for not attending to this sooner. I do believe that when Thomas saw Jesus the Holy Spirit was with him. The Holy Spirit is Jesus's pirit, and is the spirit of truth. So, I can see that. He didn't even need to place his fingers in the holes, even though Jesus invited...

    Doubting Thomas

    Really? Where did I say that? Was it Or maybe here: No? Ok, maybe here: ... Not there either. Let's try one more time: Breadoflife, I NEVER made that statement!

    Doubting Thomas

    If you take step back every time you say to anybody, "you missed the point" you may come to realize they (including myself) didn't miss the point; they simply don't agree with your point. Let's see... They were both Apostles. They both screwed up. And finally, they were both rebuked and yet...
