If you look at the NT in its entirety you will find that the concept of tithing did not exist for the NT church. Giving was in three directions. One, to the apostles as they travelled as they could not earn a living whilst travelling. Two. Collections for the Jerusalem church that was going...

Winsome.... Acts 2 and 1 Cor 11...Context pleaseActs 2 They met in homes and ate meals together not the eucharist. See a few verses later it says they ate their MEALS with gladness. Breaking of bread means food. The tradition was that a meal did not start until the host took a loaf of bread and...

Now, if that woman tore into me like that, I would just be a little more blunt with her. She just wants to mess around without the responsibility. And she probably just wants to have the same freedom as the type of men she probably shacks up with. They do their thing, and then they are gone and...

Considered lost, the Didache was rediscovered by Philotheos Bryennios, a Greek Orthodox metropolitan bishop of Nicomedia in 1873 in the Greek Codex Hierosolymitanus written in 1053. Bryennios published it ten years later. He had earlier published the full text of the Epistles of Clement from the...

Now scriptures says that ALL sins are forgiveable. Except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Yes Tim, your comments are very relevant. A George Barna survey showed that most males leave the church by the time they are 20. What is the message? Seems no one is asking. Tim LaHaye makes it very clear in his book that the unis, even the ones that were christian have been taken over by the...

If you want an outsiders take on things here it is. I have visited the USA and love the people. You are a country of excellence and there is no doubt that you are a blessed nation. The sad thing is that while the church played in the sandpit, the enemy was waging war. Two books that you need to...

Can I speak to you as one grandfather to another. I have four grandchildren and a fifth a month away. I do not have any concerns for the wellbeing of the grandchildren because I know that his hearts desire is that they should be saved. I know that my son's and his wife's hearts desire is that...

Of course assuming that it was written by the apostles which you have no proof. :music:

I have no idea because most of what you have written is man made mumbo jumbo and definitely not inspired by the Holy Spirit as it contradicts what is in the NT.

Jordan, I didn't ask you to post the verses again. I said I didn't understand the relevance of them. I still don't. Matt 28:19 is not the same as Acts 2:38. Matt talks about baptising in the name of the trinity. Acts 2 talks about being baptised in the name of Jesus Christ.

Jordan, I have no idea of the relevance of the verses you have quoted.Logabe, some very good comments to think about. As a matter of interest, why do you use only half the width of the page. It has got me curious.

If baptism by immersion in water is not necessary as folllowerofchrist claims, I would be interested to see what people make of Acts 2:38 when Peter was asked by the crowd what they should do and he said "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may...

I was babtized as an infant. But I wasn't saved until just last year. But even if I were to be baptized now it wouldn't do anything. Water is just water,it does nothing for salvation. I think you will have to back this up from scripture follower of christ. There is sufficient evidence there to...

God is not limited to buildings. So true!

I hasten to add that the term "manifested sons" is nothing more than one coined by the movement to give it a distinctive and make the movement sound more biblical and "chosen".I remember being told as a young christian that only the baptists were right because they baptised by immersion and of...

The sort of question that we need to be asking is "why was it necessary for a "Latter Rain"movement or any movement to come into being?"The usual reason is the the church has fossilised and is no longer a true reprsentation of the Kingdom of God. That is why the pentecostal movement took place...

What really works is when we understand what the scriptures say as the truth sets us free. After about 30 years of study, consulting with a myriad of writers and the original Greek, the last supper was just that, not a perpetual ritual.We don't make a doctrine out of one verse which is what we...

And when entire households are said to be baptized in the NT, are we to understand those statements as excluding all infants? Or is the assumption that none of the households being referred to had infants? Why would they say "entire" if there were such an exception? This was the case as in the...

Being paid is one way to substantially show honor. No one has said "double honour" means payment. I hope that you are not going to quibble over "honour" and "double honour" but it looks to me that you have said that honour means payment. It looks plain as day that Paul teaches that church...
