    Why was there a reformation?

    "And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18 Many Christians and majority of the Catholics alike, I believe, have a wrong interpretation of the above passage. I believe that Jesus was...

    Why was there a reformation?

    Not really! Look at Mother Teresa, even at her deathbed she questioned whether there be a God seeing all the atrocities befall on mankind. To God Be The Glory

    Purgatory True of False

    God is the Author and dictated the words He desired written even to distinguish a word whether it is a singular or a plural word (Galtians 3:16) If there were 7 books the reformers took out off the Bible then I can assure you they were never part of Scripture. Again, God is the Author of the...

    Purgatory True of False

    CHRISTIANS DO NOT TAKE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE WHICH MACCABEES IS. To God Be The Glory

    Purgatory True of False

    @Mungo ADDENDUM Indeed the ominous warnings of Revelation 22:18-19 declares Sola Scriptura! There we read that if any man shall add or take away from the words of this prophecy, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. And, if any man shall take away from the prophecy of this...

    Purgatory True of False

    The natural man cannot understand the things of God because they are foolishness to him and must therefore be spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14). 16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he might instruct Him? But we (true believers) have the mind of Christ. Sorry, but you...

    Purgatory True of False

    Luke 4:21 reads: "And he (Jesus) began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." Seeing that @TEXTBOW has already given you Revelation 22:18-19 and like passages tell us, what part of Scripture and what book was Jesus quoting from? And, when Luke penned the above...

    Purgatory True of False

    When a believer dies he goes straight to be with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8), but the dead (spiritually dead) praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence (Psalm 115:17). To God Be The Glory

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    [/QUOTE) To all who does NOT understand the OSAS doctrine, the following Scripture verses below and many like it, represents the true Gospel: Ephesians 1:1-6 1) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2)...

    Should a Christian smoke marijuana?

    Every country has its' own laws and rules. America likewise. Are you saying your state do not adhere to the laws and rules of the Federal government but your state's? But the feds do exist! I suppose you have not read Romans 13 and Jeremiah 27? To God Be The Glory

    Should a Christian smoke marijuana?

    The last I heard I believe that the use of marijuana is forbidden by the U.S. government. And if so, we are not to use it in any other form. In this case, we are to obey government for rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. (Romans 13:1-7). To God BE The Glory

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    I wonder, was any human present in heaven when God began to plan His salvation program from eternity past? To God Be The Glory

    Greater Things Than These - John 14

    Yes! @BARNEY BRIGHT is right on. Aside from going to the cross, Jesus was also dispatched to earth to send forth the Gospel but note, Jesus as the Greatest Teacher that ever walked the earth had only a little over five hundred disciples in Galilee and one hundred and twenty in the upper room...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    In all of my reading Scripture and I must have missed what you've stated above, I don't recall that there is a call issued in Scripture that salvation is available to all, and that all are invited. What I do know is that God's call to the world is to believe in His Son, and that salvation is a...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Again, I say this kindly and with love, you just don't understand and misinterpret Scripture. To your vantage point the "world" means each and every but interpretation and to God's perspective John 3:17 merely means that in all of the world there is only one Savior! However, in contrast...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    I'm afraid you have misunderstood and misinterpreted fundamental and principle truths, like 2 Peter 2:9, as also you have done with many other Bible truths! "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but long-suffering to us-ward (believers), not willing that...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    If people read the Bible as you have suggested, how can you explain: 1) That God spoke in parables? Mark 4:34, Psalms 49:4 2) That God will send strong delusions that people will believe a lie? 2 Thessalonians 2:11 3) That God is an animal called a lamb? "Behold the Lamb of God..." John 1:29...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Perhaps you are right. The problem could be my thought process that I have difficulty articulating things very well. But I did asked you to let me know any part that you did not understand and I was gladly to make an effort to clear any misunderstandings, as I'm compelled to do so [1 Peter...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    You may not have written the passages you quoted, but did you not bold and underlined in red the word "whosoever" in John 3:16, you did so to signify "any?" Did you not bold and underlined in red Matthew 18:14 the term, "that one of these little ones should perish" to signify literal children...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Of course I have! In fact, I'm very familiar with Ephesians 4:11-16, especially verse 14. Yes, I believe that with all my heart! No one has a perfect understanding of Scripture so I rely on Strong's and Young's Concordances, serious Bible students, Pastors and Evangelists who are faithful to...
