Good on ya' Disciple. The Sunday morning meeting is a sacred cow that is way past its used by date. Post modernists are not into ritual and religion. They want relationship and reality. You know, the sort that makes your Christian faith part of everyday life whether it is working, drinking...

I have yet to see a shepherd who preaches to his sheep. The ones I have seen make sure they have something to eat and drink and make sure some wild animal doesn't kill them. In I know, that why I don't use the word and why I don't address anyone as pastor. Yes, shepherds can do anything and...

What does one do on the sabbath? Not a lot as it is a day of rest. That means on Sunday I can be up and about doing those things that I can't do on the Sabbath.

Proof texts (scripture taken out of context) are the thing of preaching today with a few exceptions. This happens for two reasons. One, the person preaching has no annointing from God to teach. The fact that they have been appointed the pastor does not mean they have an annointing. Two, the...

A good point rjp

First I don't respond to sarcasm and two the verse you quoted in Romans is written to those already in the kingdom, not those living an immoral way of life.

I wonder if Christians should start up a "river bank?"

I may be saying what I have already said, but since I have said it, I have been getting more revelation as to what I should do. You know my basic stance on the body of Christ and my role in it, but what is impressing me at the moment is the fact that we are one body, one Lord, one faith and one...

See post 61

Whilst it is very commendable to point out this account of Jesus dealing with this woman, it is totally insufficient to make a case. Truth is dependent on the whole counsel of God and the whole truth of scripture. I am so glad that I was taught in Bible College that you do not form a doctrine...

Quote The fact is still that they attended a corporate place together, not just homes. Try answering the question.

BARNES: And fellowship - The word rendered "fellowship," κοινωνία koinōnia, is often rendered "communion." It properly denotes "having things in common, or participation, society, friendship." It may apply to anything which may be possessed in common, or in which all may partake. Thus, all...

Can you tell me how they ate meals together in the temple? Funny that my senior lecturer at Bible College was a converted Jew, but he didn't know this.

Just a thought. This thread may develop into a worthwhile and beneficial discussion if we all ignored aspen's posts.

Act 2:42 They continually devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to times of prayer. (ISV) They continually devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to times of prayer (KJV)...

Neither did you. I checked every verse in your link that contains the word and Hebrews 10:25 is not listed.

I think you have got the wrong end of the stick here Robbie. Only Jesus can forgive sin. Not you, not me or anyone else. You will notice that when Jesus talked about loving people, there is no mention of forgiving their sin. You will notice that Jesus pointed out the Samaratians women sin "you...

I will leave aspen to drown in his self righteous superiority and talk about reality. Having ministered for two years in a full time capacity to those trapped in a SSA, and studied it for a long time before starting the ministry, you get to learn something along the way. Homosexuality is a...

It doesn't alter the fact that you said the church met on Sunday which it didn't so you are not concerned so much with what the scripture says. A good guess seems to be OK. Apart from the fact that you still insisted they met on a Sunday in the Temple. I prefer evidence from scripture first...
