You got it Rex. Loosing power is our greatest fear right now. We have enough non-perishable/ready to eat food to last about three days if the power goes out. We were told to keep cash on hand, but that's futile. The stores around here have been stripped bare. There's nothing useful to buy right...

Thanks Axehead. So far we've experienced nothing more than a bad storm. We're being told it could get worse as the night goes on. We'll see. The Lord is good. I appreciate all of your prayers.

Thanks Josh and Angelina.

Thanks Rex.

Thanks HammerStone.

We're bracing ourselves here in Philly. Hurricane Sandy is approaching. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

It makes perfect sense. The reasoning of the thread is right. 1Ti 3:15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. A pillar holds something up and a buttress is a support. In this case...

Thanks Rex.

First I have to say that this is one of the most appaling misuses of Scripture I have ever seen. Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the...

It's sad that you feel the need to create a straw man argument such as this. Faith alone is indeed the appropriating instrument of salvation, but salvation is not a reward in any way shape or form as Rome teaches. Rewards are for the faithful service of those who already believe as the NT points...

I didn't mention that topic at all so I'm confused by your outburst. But since you brought it up... Now, this power of binding and loosing either belonged solely to the Apostles as they established the infant Church, or it extends to all legitimate church leadership, i.e. "elders." I'm not...

Your proof-text has nothing to do with the Church or the Scriptures as "the final authority on questions of faith." It speaks to how Church discipline is to be handled. Your mishandling of Biblical texts is appalling.

Documentation please. No more baseless assertions. "For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another, [as the Greeks have,] *but only twenty-two books, which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be...

We've already been through this more than once. I provided evidence that demonstrates very clearly that the gathering at Jamnia examined Ecclesiastes and maybe Song of Songs only. No changes to the OT canon were attempted or pursued. As far as Paul was concerned, the Jews of his day were still...

I have a little time, so let's take a look at another one of Kepha"s supposed Bible/apocrypha correlations. Luk 1:41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, Luk 1:42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed...

Thanks Axehead. I appreciate the encouragement. :)

Like I said, Jesus never quotes the apocrypha. A quote is a verbatim reproduction of a writing or saying. None on your references are quotes from the apocrypha. Not even close. A friend of mine has already debunked many of these, so I'm going to reproduce his examination here with a link to his...

Prove it. Post those canon lists and cite your sources. Demonstrate that there were conflicts with Josephus' assertions regarding the OT canon. Once again, here is Josephus. "For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another, [as the...

Way to miss the point. Do you even recall which of your assertions I was refuting? I'll remind you. You claimed that Jesus prescribed Scripture + Teaching Magisterium as the means of salvation. I pointed out that Paul says unambiguously that the Scriptures are adequate to lead one to salvation...
