Malachi 4 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall...

It's difficult to keep up with exactly what the Catholic faith believes. If history is an example those beliefs will change as time moves forward. Indulgences were a thing and now not so much, that Peter was the first Pope but apparently was not well received because he was married (I do not...

I know the common understanding and just a bit about how Catholics think Mary was immaculately conceived without sin.

What could this verse possibly mean? Paul was conscious of the reality that as the early church grew in numbers as the gospel was preached, there would arise situations within the church where members of the community have unbelieving spouses whom they married prior to their conversion –...

I think we all know it's sinful. We all sin and fall short. It's another clear example of being subject to the flesh and not the Spirit. When my flesh had total authority over me I sinned in many ways. If you demote the flesh and truly seek to walk in the Spirit you will not be shacking up with...

I'm not sure I agree that Christ needed the immaculate conception for that purpose. Mary was not without sin. I do not think God needed man for assurance of Jesus Christ deity or a sinless life. On the surface your statement has some merit but with serious thought I can't see it.

The reason that all men are not his sheep is because not all men will believe.

Matthew 7:22. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ Many do not want to hear the truth. Many will be disappointed. The Holy Spirit will reveal the truth in God's word if you earnestly...

My biggest mistake as a young Christian was not reading and studying the Word. I think it's more important than attending Church. I might be outside the mainstream on this but I think a new Christian should spend some serious time reading and studying the Bible before choosing a Church to...

When Paul was making his missionary journeys he had the revelation from Jesus, taught to him directly from Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He also had the Old Testament. He used both in his ministry. When Paul is making that statement he didn't have the 4 Gospels to point to or reference. Paul was...

It's not that most Protestants do not want to be baptized, its that we do not believe water baptism is necessary for salvation. For example if someones 80 year old grandfather receives the Gospel in his hospital room days before death and is saved but is not water baptized before his death his...

I feel your sincere love. I do not understand these scriptures the same way you do. Salvation is impossible for man to accomplish without God's free gift. A gift is not forced upon you. I think many of the those who believe we were predestined before the creation of the earth have difficulty...

Many good Youtube videos on this subject. Serious analysis and video of locations and the merits behind each one. Look for the video on what Jerusalem looked liked (3D animation) at the time of the crucifixion. It's difficult to visualize the Church of the Holy Sepulcher as it was during 33 AD...

In addition your weakness is not listening to Texbow about reading beyond Acts 2 and understanding that the rituals used before the gift of grace are no longer necessary.:D I could not resist.

John 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. (KJV) I do not think they ran to Galilee.

Those who close their Bibles after Acts 2:38 miss some important changes. Changes that Peter himself came to understand. Beyond Acts 2 in Acts 10 Peter has the experience with Cornelius and his understanding of the necessity of water baptism to receive the Holy Spirit was changed. Beyond Acts in...

Paul warns of actions that will disqualify us our inheritance in the Kingdom. He flat out tells us that doing such things will not allow us to ENTER into the Kingdom not just miss out on some rewards. As long as we have faith and believe I thing we are sealed. If we stop believing and fall from...

God made everything.

Any action on your part outside of Faith (a gift of God's grace) for your salvation is a works regardless of what scripture you wish to point to. Evidence of your salvation produces works. When you get to Acts 2:38 keep reading.

I start humming the song "Just a little talk with Jesus" works every time.
