It’s more than that. You are promoting a character who lies as the main theme or basis of the plot of the movie. It would be no different if you promoted porn, or excessively violent films. A person can say it is not a sin to watch porn, or violence, or lying, but these things can affect the...

So in the TV version, Ferris does not lie to his parents about escaping away for a day to have fun?

This was not always the case. Acts of the Apostles 14:1-2 “And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and...

It does to the point I made about moving outside our comfort zones. Both also are involved in loving our neighbor properly. To have fellowship in our home vs. being in a big church building means you are more correctly loving the brethren (i.e. loving your neighbor). For being in big crowd of...

It does not matter if you only seen one movie since 1986 and it was Ferris Bueller. The fact that you promote this film by your avatar and username means you approve of it. This means you don’t see anything wrong with a child lying to his parents. But the Bible condemns lying and says that...

I don’t believe it totally unrelated to the point I was making because both calling believers to your home and feeding the poor with a meal call us to move outside our comfort zones and to trust in God (in both circumstances). We tend to want to protect our perfect little worlds and be safe...

Thanks. All we can do is pray for them in love and keep sharing the Word in love, my friend. If just one accepts the truth before they die, it is all worth it. But even if they don’t, there are others who are looking for the truth and I believe they can find these kinds of threads by...

I am not denying that they met at the Synagogue. But they did not create the Synagogue in order to meet there. The Synagogue was already in existence and I don’t believe they had to pay in order to speak there. The point here is fellowship. What did the Gentile believers do in fellowship...

Even the TV version does not change the main storyline. Ferris still lies to his parents about his skipping school and this encourages others to also lie to others. The Bible says all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire. Ferris is the embodiment of lying. So I am not so sure why...

Yes, I know. The point is the focus was to bring people to your home in doing good. It’s an analogy of breaking our comfort zones involving in our having fellowship with other believers in our homes (When it is just believers there).

I don’t think it is about doing enough works to be saved. If we sin, all our previous righteousness will be undone whereby we have to confess and forsake such sins. Works of faith also needs to be included in living holy. For in Matthew 7:22-23, we learn that those who did wonderful works in...

What context in John’s 1st epistle defends your belief that you can sin and still be saved by a belief alone in Jesus? I see nothing of the sort in John’s first epistle. This becomes your mindless mantra without you having to prove anything in that you are correct. We are to preach the Word...

While I am sure God is not going to condemn us for renting a building to have fellowship with believers, it just runs contrary to the normative weekly fellowship that we see in the Bible. They met in each other’s homes. Jason’s house was one place of fellowship mentioned in the Bible. Jesus...

Check out these thread here (at CF): God's Order in the Church vs Man's Order The Pastor King (New)

I think it is more than that, my friend. The problems of popular churches today is more than just having the burden of an expensive building to take care of. It’s about mingling believers with unbelievers in fellowship to praise God. It’s about putting on a show or performance and not about...

A Christian I talk with at CF on occasion has led me to learn about how the modern church today is not biblical. Here are two of his PDF tracts: The Pastor King https://www.christianforums.com/data/attachment-files/2017/12/268026_97ffd4c85f606529ba0f24df83ada97b.pdf God’s Order in the Body of...

I agree with you on this point, my friend. Of course works come from the heart. Every action, word, or work comes from the heart (whether it be good or evil). Jesus said, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil...

So if you truly are correct, then it should be a breeze to address or explain the verses that I put forth to you that refutes your false belief here. For example: Again, how do you explain Matthew 25:31-46? What about 1 Timothy 5:8? How do you undo what these verses plainly say?

Well, you are the one who is not rightly dividing here. Hebrews 3:14 says, “For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;” This is context to not hardening your heart by the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13). So Christ can complete the...

John 6:37-40 says, 37 "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath...
