To continue your theme Truth Seeker, The scripture says to confess your sins to ONE ANOTHER, it doesn't say to confess them to a priest, which is understandable because under the new covenant, priests do not exist, only the priesthood of all believers.

I am sorry but you are wrong 'Fraid not. The survey was produced by megachurch leaders themselves and they came up with the information.The fact that you were saved by reading a Joyce Myer book does not make her ministry right. Remember that God used a donkey to accomplish his purpose. Does that...

We have to be careful how we assess things. I read the other day that success is not necessarily a sign of God's approval. One question I would ask is a person building their church or building the Kingdom of God. They are not the same.Too often becoming a mega star means that you are beyond...

fast food religion A good quote. I like that. That just about describes christianity in Australia. Yes its hard to believe but hey we catholics are crazy. Yes I agree. How can you call yourself a Christian and not try to change your life of sin. That is an interesting one. Their efforts in this...

Amen to that! Ever heard of Joel Osteen? Biggest church in America and that is all he preaches Yes I have but admit that I don't know too much about him. His book are sold here. The other aspect of the megachurch which you have your fair share of in the USA, is that it breeds the super star...

The pentecost message was preached to Jews, but that is not the only occasion. There is a theme of repentance and baptism thoroughout the new testament.Acts 3:19; 8:22; 17:30 says all men everywhere.Acts 26:20 talks about gentiles repenting.Matt. 9:13, Mark 2:17 and Luke 5:32 talks about calling...

You can't go to church because you are the church. What makes the new covenant different is the fact that God promised to reside in each one of us not in a building made with hands.You give expression to the church when ever two or three are gathered together in his name regardless of physical...

I've seen so many people who claim to be Christians but don't know the fear in the Lord. This may be due more to pastors who are not called to lead churches. No where in scripture will you find a pastor who is paid to lead a church. Too many of them preach a feel good message so that people will...

Bear in mind that satan is a spritual being and was one of God's top three angels before he was kicked out of heaven. The bible despcribes him as being 'beautiful' before his demise.I had a visit from him one night as I was sleeping. I woke up and he was standing at the end of my bed. Our...

Assuming fearing God means you'll keep His commandments, and the two main commands, Love God with everything, and love your neighboor as yourself, then isn't the whole point of life to love others? Absolutely, and probalby one of the hardest things to do in our fast paced, me first world.We are...

First of all one has to ask oneself "am I living under the old covenant or the new?"If you living under the old you have to keep all the law not just parts of it or your doomed. Too many teachers and pastors take parts of the old covenant and impose it on those living under the new. An example...

Now, how is Sola Scriptura illusionary? When ever we interpret Scripture we bring our own bagage and theological understandings to it. There's no point in denying this. Yes there is as there is much in scripture that does not need an interpretation. For example it says that all have sinned and...

If you really want to know what they teach, then ask them and see what they actually teach That is precisely what I did. I worked for three years in the catholic education system and besides having to follow their teaching as a condition of obtaining a job, I spent a lot of time asking questions...

It is wrong to use Scripture to tell Palestinians that they have no right to any land or national identity. Do I detect an interpretation of man here? If you mean a right to the land of Israel, then it is quite clear the answer is no as the bible says 46 times that God has promised it to the...

The article you referred to asks some very pertinent questions and points out some things that cannot be disputed. I would like to respond to some of them.First preaching was not generally part of New Testament church life. Discussion was the usual format. In Acts 2 we see that the New Testament...

The Catholic Church was not selling indulgences. Here is a direct quote form Luther's Thesis in the english translation21. Therefore those preachers of indulgences are in error, who say that by the pope's indulgences a man is freed from every penalty, and saved;And here is another one...35. They...

The Reformation began on October 31, 1517, when German monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. This was one of the greatest events of the past 1,000 years. Martin Luther made a translation of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into German. Soon all...

Well if you ask me I don't remember anyone asking you and the obvious question is how much study have you made of the revivals down through the centuries?If you haven't done any study, you are very keen to show your ignorance of the topic and please do be very careful about what you say as...

Mark 13 v 11 has nothing whatsoever to do with blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Unlike your opinion that has it if some Christian somewhere is saying God didnt do something he did do being sentenced to the second death ..that is the death of their soul..... poppycock 1. Not once have I said anything...

and of course you would not understand the unforgivable sin as I said it is written to the Elect the average Christian wouldn't get itas its was not written to them as they can not commit it. Can you show me in the bible where it says that? In the passage about blaspheming the Holy Spirit there...
