Just curious, but what do you do with this verse: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. What did Jesus mean by that? The context was in eating His flesh and drinking His blood, but what did He mean when He said...

The Catholic Church is not based in the Vatican, just the Roman Catholic Church. You quote Paul's letter to the Ephesians and Ephesus was no where near Rome. You also quote Paul's letter to the Pastor and elder Timothy (1st Timothy) but he was a pastor and elder in Asia Minor and we have no...

So if we can just figure out who is the one true Catholic Church, we'll be sitting pretty. It's somewhere in asia minor, right? Come on you must have better dogma than that! Suppose we resurrect the one true church, will it have the mind of Christ? Do you?

The Holy Spirit of course. Duh.

In a healthy soul understanding changes as we move toward a mature mind in Christ. That's growth. That's a large part of sanctification, coming to agreement with what God says and submitting to Him as head of the body of Christ. What pastors tend to say on the matter to be doctrinally correct...

Actually, I did answer the question. You just didn't like the answer. In response to this last bit of folly you posted try reading 2 Timothy 3:16-17. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He...

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet" (but first let me go find some liar to tell me what it means.) Truth be known, there is One who infallibly interprets scripture, and I know Him, though not as well as He knows me. I can tell you right now that He isn't a member of the Roman Catholic Church, but...

Says the arrogant, but then I don't know a whole lot of people that claim to infallibly interpret scripture outside of the Roman Catholic Church. The "church" doesn't illuminate the scripture (that's God's job), But you're entitled to your opinion. The church doesn't pick it's membership, God...

Yup, the Lord didn't come to save just the educated, but even arrogant folks, including the educated ( but He never leaves you that way.)

Philippians 2:12-13

This is my X Catholic recovery song. If you know the Lord, you find out that it's Him who does and wills to do through you. The elders cast their crowns at the feet of the Lord. It's all about Him and most definitely not about you.

I've heard a few messages on the verse about the called and chosen. I'm inclined to believe that Jesus in using the word "chosen" was singling out those individuals that God plucked out of their lives and gave new direction and specific tasks. Men like Saul of tarsis, who met the risen Lord on...

Romans chapter 8 describes among other things, the state of the natural mind and the natural enmity with God that exists in all people before they are born again, but no passage of scripture stands alone, which is why I already quoted Paul describing our natural state as children of wrath. If...

Well hello again junior. It's not my assertion that the natural state of man is enmity with God, but it is the scriptures' assertion. You should try reading them, perhaps you'll learn a little. The Old testament doesn't use the words "born again" to describe the experience of receiving new life...

I'm no scholar, and certainly not familiar with the Jewish calendar, but just a born again believer trying to understand those things that the Holy Spirit teaches. I have, however, had thoughts along the same lines as the author of the post with regard to the imminent return of our Lord. The...

Ok, junior, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. That's not my job, but the job of the Holy Spirit. However, for the benefit of anyone who might read your posts and actually take you seriously: Salvation is not something we do, but something God does: I, even I, am the Lord, And besides...

Not exactly (I couldn't give you a date or hour) but I am commonly misquoted here. Christ said that no one would know the hour, yet we all are to be watching the signs of the times. I know that Jesus is returning. I know the signs of His coming. And I've watched the world for my entire literate...
