    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    You do indeed err in your understanding of what I said. Because you ASSumed my meaning rather than to extend to me the courtesy of simply asking, we'll leave it at that. BTW

    Age of Accountability

    Do you have a reference for that so we can look at your tiny little quote in context? BTW

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Being all things to all people is not a matter of compromising on doctrinal truth, like going into a bar and getting drunk in order to minister to drunks... BTW

    Age of Accountability

    Got a biblical reference for that? BTW

    Age of Accountability

    You've hit upon the experiences of many, many people, both parents and grandparents. You also hit upon the fact that many parents are the ones who need to be whooped for their lack of parenting. I know of a family where the mother feels overwhelmed because her husband looks more to his own...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    I hope you don't mind my saying this, but Jesus could not have been in that room to kiss him goodnight. That would have the Feet of Jesus on this earth before His second coming. Some may say it was just a dream, which is fine, but the Lord would not have done such a thing in reality, in the...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    As a Jew, I can walk into almost any church organization and hear what is NOT the Gospel given to Paul, also a Jew. BTW

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. I'm not sure what is meant by the idea that we "promote" that fact, because, as a fact, it stands upon the strength of scripture. More later... There is indeed a separation within His Kingdom. I say that because the Kingdom is not meant for the body of...

    Age of Accountability

    Good question. To answer that, all I can say is that my posting here points only to what seems plausible, based upon indicators from the OT, so yes, I think there is a grace period that's expressive of the depths of God's mercies for the young. I'm Israeli, but I don't subscribe to all Jewish...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Not really. Israel will once again be raised up by the Lord who chose us, to serve His purposes in the Millennium and the New Earth. Those purposes will not involve an inclusion of Gentiles, although Israel and Gentiles will live together on the New Earth. The body of Christ, however, will be in...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It's interesting, is it not, that the very first members of the Church were us Jews, not Gentiles? Gentiles were added much later, mainly through Paul's Gospel, not that of the twelve since they were commanded to preach ONLY to Israel. Those who were and are of Paul's Gospel are in the body of...

    MY GOSPEL

    I'm beginning to see what you're about. Antagonism and twisting the words of others seems to be the only basis for substance to your diatribe. Oh well, another one bites the dust... BTW

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    Who claimed such a thing? I have yet to see you quote any such statement from anyone here. BTW

    MY GOSPEL

    What are you saying? Are you implying that you do what ALL of scripture says in all places? I have grave doubts that you offer up animal sacrifices for sin, or even have a priest do so, for your sins. After all, that too is in the Bible... BTW

    MY GOSPEL

    I dare say that everyone here is dispensational because not one person here runs outside to offer up animal sacrifices for their sins... BTW

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    Do you have any idea what a non sequitur is by definition? Apparently not. It's a logical fallacy. You've created nothing more than a straw man argument derived from nothing that I actually said nor implied. The definition of a non sequitur, for those who are not aware: "a statement (such as a...

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    What you have established is your propensity for fallacious application of hermeneutics and systematic thinking in relation to the word of God. BTW

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    This surface thinking is so typical of antagonists in their attempts at corrupting the minds of others. God is perfect and His standard is total perfection. Nothing imperfect can exist in His presence without Him passing judgment. That means, after accepting Christ, if all your future sins are...

    TWO GOSPELS THAT CANNOT BE THE SAME

    Generally speaking: Our Israeli, Hebrew-minded, ancient idioms in language, later expressed through Greek language which was then translated into English, the historic, ancient understanding of that phraseology, has long since been lost where it speaks of "...every creature..." That command was...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Well, there's replacement theology in a nut shell! We Israeli's know better in the face of the hatred you have for us. BTW
