Cheers!

Rather than going through a point by point debate due to time constraints on my behalf, some of these warrant a thread of their own, let me pose a question. If Jesus were to come to the RCC and Orthodox churches not in glory and without holding to sacramental theology, the perpetual virgin...

Please look to the forum rules...this last response is considered ad hominem. Thank you for future compliance to our forum's rules.

And your explanation confirms my conclusion. I was not referring to the cannon of Scripture. But we can refer to Mary of Egypt being venerated...these "scriptures" of the service are of the tradition. I somewhat agree, yet this would depend on which ECF you hold more to. As it is we know not all...

And again... 9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the...

Keeth, Phenom, Raenes... Another Scripture... For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:14 And again... 9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any...

23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. - 1 John 3:23-24...

Yet Jesus accepted worship without rebuking those who worshipped Him. No one disagrees that Jesus is the Son, yet He does tell Thomas that if you had seen Him (Jesus) you have seen the Father. What you miss is the dual nature of Christ, fully divine fully human. Born of God and a woman. Jesus...

Perhaps prayer to God seeking mercy for the violators with a change of their action is a better tactic than removing the rightful Judge and placing yourself in His seat. Remember the Christ on the cross prayed for His enemies...how much more are we to pray for the brethren?

We have modified the forum rules where insulting will not be tolerated...all who have not read them please go to the announcements section...thank you for your cooperation.

So you self justify your judgment...and you add condemnation...yet the command of the King stands and there is but one Judge. All authority to judge has been given to Him, not you or I. Do you stand with the accuser of the brethren?

As to the evangelists....do you see them as from the tribes literally? What do you mean the partial hardening happened to the leaders? What will happen when the fullness of the Gentiles come in?

Can you expand on this idea Stan? I am uncertain if I fully understand what you are conveying.

You have generated your theory in error. God is love. Anything other than love is a transgression against God and others. This is the Royal Law that is eternal, not the 10 commandments. Adam and Eve did not break the 10 commandments. This is the command they broke. Genesis 2:17 but from...

And then speaking of His commands... “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank...

Some are Christian in name only. By this I mean there is no conviction, not substance, no Spirit. This will account for much of what you have posted. Yet within Christianity we are under a Sovereign that is known for His mercy and compassion. He understands the human condition as He took on...

I do not see it as an interruption! :lol: Please bring about all communications and concerns.

This portion "modern independent westerner" is attached to a specific way of thinking or system of thought. As it is western society as a whole is more independent and less communal than eastern society. Western society has a further detachment from the feudal system, especially in the North...

So then to continue your analogy the 603 illuminate the 10 showing how to keep the Sabbath, how to wear your clothes, how to tend your land, how to wear your hair and the like. Jesus used the word 'greatest' because that was the context of the question. It is plain language given through...

To elaborate a bit more on the Romans passage. Paul states a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Unless you believe Paul is speaking of a hardening of the Church you must agree he is speaking of national Israel, conceding that when the authors...
