Read what the bible says about doctrine. In the New Testament it means "instruction."................... Matt. 7:28 And it happened, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His doctrine. Mark 11:18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard. And they sought how...

Just a thought. If the person is non-practising, shouldn't we refer to him as a person with a same sex attraction, not as a non practicing homosexual. Does one not become a homosexual until they are actually involved in male to male sex?

For those of you and others of the same mindset who believe that those who do not attend so called "church" are rebels and backsliding are in fact some of the most spiritual in the fellowship. Research shows that a common response is "there has to be more to christianity than this." The failure...

If you were a christian, why did you want to hear the gospel every week?

I didn't say that protestant churches are not in scripture.

VOT, what you have not realised is that is your description of church which is not found in scripture. If it is there show me. In addition your description shows that you are just parroting what you have been told by your roman catholic masters who consider they are the fount of all wisdom...

Could you write this in English, not in coded language? Thanks.

I don't think that I mentioned that this is the reason that I did not attend church. In fact, I attend church the biblical way, in homes and to edify each other through the priesthood of all believers, not just a select few. That is more to God's liking than the church I described which you will...

Of course the first question is "What is church." Most christians have no idea as they think that it is a building where you go to gather with others to sing songs, follow some religious rituals, put some money in the plate, listen to some incompetent spout what he thinks about the bible and...

A nice bit of self righteousness here and spiritual humbuggery. Your church is no more the church that Christ instituted than Jim Jones church was. I doubt if you have any idea what the church is beyond what you have been told by those who love dressing up in women's clothes.

I must admit I have never heard the power of the Holy Spirit called imaginary demons, incantations and magic. What I do know is that calling the work of the Holy Spirit demonic is blasphemy and the unforgivable sin. I know that in these last days satan is going to convince people that he does...

My thoughts are the opposite . if you do attend church satan is very happy as it will keep you out of his way and it will keep you occupied with irrelevancies. Yes, yes and yes. I could not help notice that the verse which says do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together refers to...

One of the most common reasons for not going to church is the one spoken by seasoned and devoted followers of Christ. It is this "There has to be more to Christianity than this." If like so many leaders they keep their congregation sitting on the premises rather than standing on the promises...

Over the last few hundred years, Protestantism and evangelicalism has developed a system of religious observance that is commonly known as church. Frank Viola in his book "Pagan Christianity" says that the protestant pastor is nothing more than a re-tuned catholic priest and that communion is a...

Except that Col 2:15 says literally, having stripped the rulers and the authorities, He made a show of them in public, triumphing over them in it.

MADAD, I blanched a bit when I read your post. I live in Melbourne and we have problems of a similar kind but I don't think that it is as bad as that. From what you say and I believe every word of it, that Casino is totally in the hands of Satan because no one in their right mind would do those...

Except one has to ask, how can you go to church when you are the church?

A very pertinent claim if my experience is anything to go by. Now that I am retired I use a lot of my time debating on the internet, especially with atheists who invade christian sites. Their contributions consist mainly of pejorative statements, attacking the man not the ball and asking totally...

One wonders if the church is the church or is it a business? I say this as my experience has been that a person who feels called to serve the church, and I say that advisedly is told to attend the denominations bible college and once he has graduated he is appointed to a church as youth pastor...

I am speaking from both sides of the fence, as a student and as a teacher. As a student in the 50s, we did what we were told, no question. As a teacher (I came into it late in life) my first teaching post was in a Christian School and someone asked me how things were going. I remember my reply...
