    DISCERNMENT

    I hope this is in the right place and if so I thought I would share what has been going on with me. I have been praying a lot about my desire to see a New Testament Church come about where I live and what I could do to make it happen. I have had several dreams of late that have addressed this...

    Of course, you can suggest it as it is true from the point of view that medical science is always evolving and what was a problem one-day is no longer a problem the next day such as the eradication of certain diseases.

    THE BOOK OF ACTS.

    You are most welcome to what you prefer. The only thing I ask is that you do not use my thread to promote your views as opposed to mine but you are most welcome to start your own.

    THE BOOK OF ACTS.

    Having spent two years studying the New Testament church, several writers said that the term Christian was a derisive one given to them by the unbelievers. As my Chronological New King James Bible says in its background notes "Gentiles called these disciples of Christ by the name Christians with...

    Despite these early problems that they encountered, they still grew and grew and grew. In fact, one could say that due to their dedication and determination we are here today, doing what we are doing and being what we are being. Like every start-up, the end is usually different from the...

    Discernment

    Why are you trying to be so offensive and supercilious?

    I really have no idea what you are talking about.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    The NTC was confronted with new worlds in their zeal to evangelise. Most of them had not travelled outside of their home town prior to Pentecost but the coming of the Holy Spirit changed all that. The first 70 years of the NTC saw them evangelising places like Rome itself, Alexandria, and...

    Discernment

    Just a couple of points. I have never made a claim based on one person's experience. There is ALWAYS the exception to the rule but it does not make the rule. That is a standard view of all reliable research. Homosexuals are not gay. One researcher who studied 200 homosexuals on Fire Island for...

    THE BOOK OF ACTS.

    Being jews, the NTC did not cut itself off from the temple. It met in the temple courts if they wanted a larger space to meet together. And as there were several bathing pools in the temple grounds, they often used them to baptize people who wanted to join the believers. If there was a...

    THE BOOK OF ACTS.

    I have been doing some research into the background of the New Testament Church (NTC) which was established during the Roman control of Israel. To say the least, they were brutes and held life very cheaply. They would kill or crucify anyone at the slightest whim. This meant that if you did...

    THE BOOK OF ACTS.

    Let's face it the book of Acts is an exciting and interesting book to read and understand. It seems to be a blueprint of what to expect if you are a full-on believer in Jesus and the sort of thing the believers had to go through to preach the gospel and establish the church. According to the...

    Could you do me a favour and block Bread of Life. He has invaded this thread and made it almost impossible for us to have a sensible discussion and is intent on pushing the catholic bandwagon which is not what is intended. He is virtually saying that we don't have the right to hold the views we do.
