    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    As you will see from his last post SetFree, Watt has confirmed what I said in my last post. This does not surprise me as he is a Roman Catholic and they believe that only the Pope is right, they are the one true church and everyone else is wrong. How do I know this? I have been told this many...

    Synagogues and Christian Churches

    No where in the NT will you find it said they met for worship in someone's home. In that case we had better delete all these verses from our bible. The word 'church' which in Greek is 'ekklasia' means called out ones making up a congregation and the word 'house' in Greek 'oikos' means a...

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    Setfree, do not be taken in by Watt's apparent spirtuality. His constant pronouncements of how spirtual he is and how fleshly everyone else is suggests someone who is very arrogant. Several times now I have asked him to show me where the word Yahweh is in some verses where he said it is and he...

    Synagogues and Christian Churches

    I would also question the ability to effectively administer to widows, orphans, the elderly, sick and poor without a very organized Church structure. As that mission is clearly and repeatedly shown as one function of the Church in the NT, am at a loss to conclude how that would work with a loose...

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    I will have to assume Watt that your inability or unwillingness to show where Yahweh is in the three verses you said contained the word that you are admitting that it was a figment of your imagination that cannot be defended. That being the case, I am sorry that you have set yourself up to be an...

    I be richer if I had one every time someone claimed a certain belief only because the contrary or opposing position is not mentioned in the NT. Yes I admit that I do not believe the bible...and tradition. Mainly because I had prophecy from God through five different men which said that I was to...

    I had a feeling that when push came to shove that your ideas were lacking scriptural authority bearing in mind that ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable....I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone said that they believe this but....

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    I'll say it again Watt. Where is Yahweh in the three verses you quoted. I did not ask for a lecture about God, just the answer to this question. If the answer is that the word Yahweh does not exist in these verses, you are just using them to hang you pet doctrine on, just say so. As you know...

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    In your long drawn out reply you forgot one thing Watt. Where is the word Yahweh in the three verses you quoted? In your response could you answer the question please instead of giving me a lecture.

    Think about it, for most of the 1st century these people were having to continuously hide their activities. Where does it say this in the scriptures? Most of the leaders were killed. Where does it say this in the scriptures? when the people were able they built real Churches, often on top of...

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    In the New Testament the Hebrew word YAHWEH is used for all three persons of the TRINITY.

    Marksman, re-read my post. I explicitly said you will not find those things there, but said the absence of it does not mean they did not build Churches. Did they meet in homes, in the country or where ever possible? Am absolutely positive they did, just as I posted before they often had to do...

    There is a lot of evidence that when and where they could they built structures to worship in. Can you show me where it says in the NT that they allocated funds to build a structure or where they actually built a structure as I have to admit I cannot find any reference to either. Please bear in...

    Synagogues and Christian Churches

    One fact of life is that we as humans were designed to work together. We can accomplish so much more as an organized group than individuals. Am pretty sure God knows this. One of the major responsibilities of the Church from the beginning has always been the care of the poor, elderly, widowed...

    Synagogues and Christian Churches

    Most people feel that if they, belong to the "right church or religious organization", go to the meetings, spend some time there, and try to live a good lifestyle they are okay with God. Their only relationship with God is through their religious organization and what they do. But God looks into...

    As numbers grew you don't think meeting in homes became impractical? Quite the opposite. Meeting in homes means that you can grow as quick and as big as you want to without logistical impediments. Current evangelistic thinking is that the quickest way to grow the church is to plant a church in...

    Do You Know "the Kingdom Of God"?

    A very interesting bible study Watt and one that I will file into my teaching file but, and it is a big but...you haven't told me the name of the father, son and holy spirit. All you have told me is their titles.

    Synagogues and Christian Churches

    My view is that the Bible says nothing about a church building, water coolers, air conditioners, heaters, telephones, church buses, and the list is endless. None of them is sinful just because the bible never mentioned them. The sincere praise, worship and adoration of His people is pleasing to...
