    Why do we need priests?

    No! I called the inspired 12 apostles "the early church fathers", because it was God the Father who was speaking through them. Hence the epistles they wrote to the early churches, were inspired by God the Father, being signified by words such as "little children"/"children"/"my children" After...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Is it possible that you haven't correctly understood the simple but deep words of KJV- 1 John 5:13? [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. ^ How is...

    Why do we need priests?

    What God says about the early churches through the apostles, is His inspired words. Anything written by the "Apostolic Fathers" of your description, is not inspired, even though you might want to think that it is.

    Why do we need priests?

    Now of a truth, anything that is peripheral to "the work of God", of our having faith in Jesus, as being our only means of salvation, it is secondary! John 6:29 For if a man is NOT born again by His Holy Spirit, he remains to be "none of His".

    Why do we need priests?

    "No one single church has all of His truth, but all of the churches have some of His truth."- Earburner I don't think that you see or understand the simplicity of the Lord's salvation for ALL people. 2 Peter 3:9 John 3:18 Romans 8:8-9 1 John 5:13

    1 JOHN ONLY ISRAEL CAN BE BORN AGAIN ***

    1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. I suppose, there are least two views on that verse, 1. Those who are resting in Jesus, being made sin-less by His shed blood. 2. Those who are hard at work...

    1 JOHN ONLY ISRAEL CAN BE BORN AGAIN ***

    "In Christ, what's the differnce between a Good sinner and a Bad sinner?" Please see KJV- Matthew 5:20

    1 JOHN ONLY ISRAEL CAN BE BORN AGAIN ***

    On the contrary! If ONE IS a believing member of the body of Christ, THEY ARE born again of His Spirit. You forgot Romans 8:8-9 and 1 John 5:13

    Is Any Denomination Saved?

    I suppose the question should be asked: "In Christ, what's the differnce between a Good sinner and a Bad sinner?" Please see KJV-Matthew 5:20 for the answer.

    Why do we need priests?

    The Holy Spirit within them, who is the mind of Christ, but instead they each choose to listen to their OWN mind.

    Why do we need priests?

    "The Apostles are the Apostles and are not considered to be the "Early Church Fathers." > Says who? THe RCC? How convienent, because they only want to see Peter, and therefore will fabricate it to be so, just so as to establish the progression to the first pope. So now you are speaking contrary...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    You quoted: Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went...

    Why do we need priests?

    When the apostles adressed the early churches as "little children", one should readily pick up on Who it was that was Speaking to them. In light of that, it is easy to call the apostles as being "the early church fathers", for it was the Holy Spirit who was speaking through them, to the early...

    Why do we need priests?

    Shall we say that the image of a father wasn't in all the Apostles, in their writings of instruction for the early churches? The Apostles often used the words "little children" , when addressing the early churches. Here, have a look at these references: Galatians 4:19 1 John 2:1-18 and28 1...

    Why do we need priests?

    My issue is, why do it in the first place, since in the early church, most people were biblically illiterate, not to mention that the scriptures weren't mass produced, until after the 1600s! It was quite apparent then, that the RCC was "lording over them" their the authority of religion that...

    Why do we need priests?

    Its easy to understand the term "the early fathers" of the beginning of the church age. It is by them that Christ's church was shown forth as a reality, being separate from the operations of the customs and traditions of Jewish Synagogues. However, its not that no one has "fathers" in the flesh...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    As for what happened to the OT Saints, who died in faith believing of the first appearance of Christ, they were sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise, on the Day of Pentecost. Please see KJV- Revelation 6:9-11 for the truth about them.

    Why do we need priests?

    Its not that Protestants have strayed, but rather Christ, who alone is the Head of His church, that made it to be so. HE raised up those He chose (M. Luther, J. Wesley, G. Whitefield, B. Graham etc.) for the work of keeping His people to be "free indeed" from the bondage of false doctrines, that...

    Why do we need priests?

    To most of what you say, I agree as it pertains to the body of Christ, His church. However, to this you said: "Nowhere in scripture does the common priesthood have the ministry of reconciliation.", I strongly disagree. I, as a born again Christian, as the like of others, do have the ability in...

    When is Judgment day ?

    God's judgment isn't going to be like a civil court room, with defending and prosecuting lawyers over the law (the Torah). The first judgment was DEATH through Adam, of which all are "appointed", with no escape. The second judgment IS LIFE through Jesus, of which all are invited, of which shall...
