Hello Truther, I pondered your question for a while, and considered talking to you about Faith, and Hope and especially Love; But the Spirit placed it on my heart to share a much more intimate proof (to me). And that is the gift of seeing the Church as she is, the Holy bride of Christ. While...

Haha, touche ;) I think though, that our miscommunication is over the use of the words 'literaly' and 'figuritively'. So please allow me to use a differnr word. We truly died that day thus proving the enemy a liar. We were indeed truly the walking dead, as Jesus points out when He says...

Pray for the Church in Africa!

Why would one think a spirtual death is not a literal death? Perhaps you can define for me what literal means to you? To me it means 'real' or 'true' as opposed to fantasy or make believe.. Yes, I literally killed Immanuel. Cool

And what of the religious organization built by God? Perhaps, but elders in the Church are ordained through the laying on of hands by those with the authority to do so. I find it curious that earlier in the thread you proposed a metropolitan system, yet reject that very system thaf has been...

Yes beloved, they literally died.... And the Creator of the universe, humbled Himself and became man to free us from that death. Praise be to our Lord, Jesus Christ! The truly ironic thing is that first lie 'if you eat you will certainly not die' Has now become the lie 'did God really say...

Elders in the Church are appointed through the laying on of hands of those whith the authority to make such an ordination. Is God the one who calls men to serve the Church? Certainly. And these submit themselves to the Church for training testing and ordination. If they are unwilling to do...

Indeed He does, and you reject its authority at your peril. Peace be with you!

Why would one think that it is not the Holy Spirit that operates through the succession of men called to serve as elders for the Church? Your authority? Are you greater than Paul? Have you done this: I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the gospel that I preach to...

But the serpent said to the woman: "You certainly will not die!

Hello Episkipos, Hmm, i have to disagree. God began His Church, by calling, training and empowering the apostles.. These in turn trained, tested and empowered others who were called to serve as elders in the Church. No one has the authority to begin his own church and declare himself an...

Hello Nancy, 1cor 10:15-21 identifies the 'table of the Lord' as the christian altar, and the Eucharist as the offering that we participate in. Further, from the very beginning the Church has identified this Eucharistic sacrifice as the fulfullment of Malachi 1:11 . 14:1 And on the Lord's...

Who said anything about blindly following anybody? Are all the apostles evil because one of them was? Should we abandon our brothers and sisters if a wolf comes? Or do we rather drive the wolf out... And just what do you think Jesus means by this? Is Paul wrong to call himself 'father' to...

Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse. For whenever anyone bears the pain of unjust suffering because of consciousness of God, that is a grace. But what credit is there if you are patient when...

Hello earburner, Really? Are you suggesting that evil is eternal? If not, then surely Good can exist without evil... Peace!

I call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, Our culture has degenerated into what (imo) JohnPaul the Great rightly called 'the culture of death'. That it is...

'if today you hear My voice, harden not your heart' ! Are we ready to stand before the Lord today? If not, better get cracking.. ;) Peace!

The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. You're not married are you? Peace!

Hello Enow, How many times must a bride receive her groom to consumate a marriage? Once would be enough, but it would be a cold marriage indeed were a bride to never again receive her husband. The Church encourages us to receive the Eucharist daily if we are able, but once/year is required...

Hello Truther, Jesus does not 'take on' a body. He has a body. A body that was born of the virgin Mary, that suffered and died for us and rose again from the dead. Peace be with you!
