Now that's a coincidence. I'm just in the middle of wondering about how to interrelate Corinthian's Judgement Set of Christ with Revelation's Great White Throne. I suspect it may well be one event seen through a glass darkly by Paul and then later revealed more clearly to John.

Exactly what is the purpose of this thread in resurrecting the great controversy of the early middle ages? Is to strengthen the Christian faith, or is it to undermine it? "Christians have divided as a result of the breakdown of the apparent consensus. This happened between the Byzantine East...

I was not saying what I believe, or lining up alongside what someone else believes. I was just alluding in a lighthearted way to the hyper application of contextual contention.

Ernest T. Bass (post #3) If your contextual contention is valid then it must apply equally to most of what Jesus said to his disciples and apostles (at least prior to his transfiguration) maybe excluding things which might have been clearly stated or strongly implied to apply more widely. In...

I don't speak for others but, for my part, I simply don't involve in "debunking". I try my best to live by the pacifist teachings of Christ's Sermon on the Mount.

If you "rightly divide the word of truth" by cherry picking verses and passages which suit what you want to belief, then you can be a Universal Reconciliationist, an Annihilationist, one who believes that the vast majority of mankind will be eternally tormented in a Lake of Fire, or even a Hyper...

I’ve only speed read through the thread but, unless I’ve missed it, no one has alluded to the references to ‘the second death’ in Revelation. Those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life are thrown into the Lake of Fire for the purpose of perishing in their second death, as...

Personally I place great reliance on 'Christ Within' coupled with the hymn "The dearest idol I have known, what ere that idol be, help me to tear it from thy throne, and worship only Thee". In which respect I see any such idol as being what you call "replacement for Christ" ('Christ Within' as I...

I enjoy membership of another forum that has an opening paragraph of its registration agreement that reads: "In addition to the following standard registration conditions you are required to agree to abide by the forum's catholic (all embracing) ethos; which is to accept that every member who...

When I lived in Spain my part time work in a Christian friend's Art Gallery brought me into contact with a Mormon guy who turned out to be one of the most gentle and caring 'Christlike' guys that I have ever met. Also, now that I'm back in the UK, I attend a Christian sponsored lunch club and...

Superb threat and collection of responses that have been a great help to this 'down at the heel' 85 year old (physically, and nearly as old spiritually). Especially 101G @ #5.

So are you reckoning that I should have said "Everyone........is "done with much intention"? That's grammatical nonsense in my book.

Great thread Episkopos. (spoiled only by those for whom "the hat fits").

With this forum, livingwater.createaforum.com, and Robin's other site I feel that "my cup runneth over". I like (and need) all three.

I just took a peep and thought it looked pretty good:D But then I would wouldn't I?

Everything from children to adults, and from illiterates to the highest intelligence, is "done with much intention". What counts is the godly 'calibre of judgement' that is employed.

I just don't get the point of listing to all those particular scriptures. Unless, to take just one of them, you are suggesting that, from the beginning of the Matthew 16:18 Church, the SDA denomination existed in the form of the woman that "fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place...

I doubt we will ever break through the exaggerated scriptural misrepresentation promoted by the various Post Reformation Statements of Faith, such as that of the Evangelical Alliance. Everyone fails to recognise that 300 years ago we were still in the infancy of "the age of enlightenment" when...

And what happened to it from the Apostles until SDA came on the scene in 1830/40?

Presumably the 'True Church' cannot be a 'denomination' of Christianity, and if there really is such a thing then it would have to have existed since Matthew 16:18 came into effect. SDA has only been in existence for less that 200 years and if SDA tries to claim retrospective existence then I'm...
