The problem I see is that Mat 7:12 has been isolated from a larger context, which was his sermon in the mount. Its 3 chapters lomg (chapters 5, 6 and 7). Chapter 5 (the second half) lays down some hard doctrine. Killing is bad being angry with your brother without reason is just as bad. He...

Its in Acts 13:22 that we learn that David was a man after God's heart. But there is more to the quote: Acts 13:22 KJV And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own...

What bugs me is when people say, "You need to.. " when its something they need me to do. I tend to take words very seriously and a word like "need" isn't the same as "should".

Glad to see you here.

David did pay a heavy price. His affair with Bath-sheba didn't end well as that child died (Solomon was NOT the first child from David and Bath-sheba). Furthermore, for what he did to Uriah his family was torn apart. I don't remember all the details but one of is sons committed horrible sexual...

I got two: 1. A minister decided to play golf hookey on Sunday. He called the associate pastor and said he was sick... Got it all lined up and then hit the links right when the service started. He shot 3 under par... His best effort before hand was +10. He even sank a 40 foot putt uphill...

I for one enjoy my Church... That is the gathering of those with like minds concerning the Lord. I have a great Pastor who cares about his congregation and respects God's word. Yes, i even love our brick and mortar building which was built largely by the brothers in the Church and is taken care...

Amen! And if you are stacking this upnon yourself (meaning you are wondering if you are guilty) check also your tone. Just because you haven't said "real Christians do or don't..." doesn't exclude you.

All bark and no bite. I agree. Being an accuser and a liar is barking. God's Word is powerful. It is powerful whether we believe it or not. Satan's bark isn't as powerful, but still weilds power. A lot of power. But it is lies and gossip. It flees from light as darkness as flees from...

Spiritually, what does fornication mean? If there is a spiritual fornication, i suggest it is worse. Hebrews 12:16 KJV Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. I like your definition you quoted about unmarried people. Esau. He...

Just some thoughts... Satan knows the scripture. And he "gets" it (in that he has a certain understanding) and its actually for him as well. Even the Gospel. We also know Satan is a liar, the father of lies and there is no truth in him. I don't believe however that he doesn't know the...

I pulled this from the article in the OP: "The word in question is peirasmos[from New Testament Greek] which means both to tempt and to be tested," the Rev. Ian Paul told the newspaper. "So on one level the pope has a point. But he's also stepping into a theological debate about the nature of...

I am a bit confused Aspen. Earlier posts by you seemed to indicate you had no problem with, "lead us not into tempation..." Are you changing your mind on that?

I don't see a literal water baptism as necessary, but don't see harm in it either. In fact, it is a biblical custom. Jesus baptized with the HS and with fire (Mat 3:11) and sanctifies and clenses his Church with the washing of water by the Word (Eph 5). With that in mind, Jesus did baptize the...

Yea... Just read an article on it. It really doesn't seem as a protestant edition according to the article I read. Its not the point of the thread... But thats ok by me.... Is the Doxology of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:13 a late addition? - King James Version Today

Whats the protestant ending that was tacted on?

In case someone is living under a rock: Matthew 6:13 KJV And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. James said: James 1:13 KJV Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be...

Thought this was interesting.... For the record, I'm against it. Pope Francis Suggests Changing The Words To The 'Lord's Prayer'

Thats a lot of why thens, maybes and why nots. Its much easier just to believe the scripture says. This is what happens when you put church developed doctrine equal with the Bible. To make them both work you have to make the Bible say something else than what it really says. Thus... You make...

Its right there! So how did I make it up? IT. WAS. TWINC! All you had to do was read the first 3 posts! Maybe I am wrong. Maybe Twinc is not a Catholic. But don't sit there and ignore the gorilla!
