    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    You do indeed err in your understanding of what I said. Because you ASSumed my meaning rather than to extend to me the courtesy of simply asking, we'll leave it at that. BTW

    Age of Accountability

    Do you have a reference for that so we can look at your tiny little quote in context? BTW

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Being all things to all people is not a matter of compromising on doctrinal truth, like going into a bar and getting drunk in order to minister to drunks... BTW

    Age of Accountability

    Got a biblical reference for that? BTW

    Age of Accountability

    You've hit upon the experiences of many, many people, both parents and grandparents. You also hit upon the fact that many parents are the ones who need to be whooped for their lack of parenting. I know of a family where the mother feels overwhelmed because her husband looks more to his own...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    I hope you don't mind my saying this, but Jesus could not have been in that room to kiss him goodnight. That would have the Feet of Jesus on this earth before His second coming. Some may say it was just a dream, which is fine, but the Lord would not have done such a thing in reality, in the...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    As a Jew, I can walk into almost any church organization and hear what is NOT the Gospel given to Paul, also a Jew. BTW

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. I'm not sure what is meant by the idea that we "promote" that fact, because, as a fact, it stands upon the strength of scripture. More later... There is indeed a separation within His Kingdom. I say that because the Kingdom is not meant for the body of...

    Age of Accountability

    Good question. To answer that, all I can say is that my posting here points only to what seems plausible, based upon indicators from the OT, so yes, I think there is a grace period that's expressive of the depths of God's mercies for the young. I'm Israeli, but I don't subscribe to all Jewish...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Not really. Israel will once again be raised up by the Lord who chose us, to serve His purposes in the Millennium and the New Earth. Those purposes will not involve an inclusion of Gentiles, although Israel and Gentiles will live together on the New Earth. The body of Christ, however, will be in...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It's interesting, is it not, that the very first members of the Church were us Jews, not Gentiles? Gentiles were added much later, mainly through Paul's Gospel, not that of the twelve since they were commanded to preach ONLY to Israel. Those who were and are of Paul's Gospel are in the body of...

    MY GOSPEL

    I'm beginning to see what you're about. Antagonism and twisting the words of others seems to be the only basis for substance to your diatribe. Oh well, another one bites the dust... BTW

    MY GOSPEL

    What are you saying? Are you implying that you do what ALL of scripture says in all places? I have grave doubts that you offer up animal sacrifices for sin, or even have a priest do so, for your sins. After all, that too is in the Bible... BTW

    MY GOSPEL

    I dare say that everyone here is dispensational because not one person here runs outside to offer up animal sacrifices for their sins... BTW

    TWO GOSPELS THAT CANNOT BE THE SAME

    Generally speaking: Our Israeli, Hebrew-minded, ancient idioms in language, later expressed through Greek language which was then translated into English, the historic, ancient understanding of that phraseology, has long since been lost where it speaks of "...every creature..." That command was...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Well, there's replacement theology in a nut shell! We Israeli's know better in the face of the hatred you have for us. BTW

    MY GOSPEL

    Conventional thinking in Christianity is that the Twelve taught the exact same thing as Paul. People generally believe Paul comes along later because he's rebellious—he’s persecuting the church in early Acts—but then the Lord appears to him, Paul gets saved, and he just becomes another member of...

    Anyone accusing you of “Replacement Theology” is defending the spirit of Antichrist.

    Seriously? That's what YOU think He meant when He stated that it was finished? Do you even know what the covenant is...the NEW covenant? Your post is wrong in so many ways, and an insult to us who are Israeli watching Gentiles trying to whisk away our heritage that was established through...

    Here's a song that I composed and performed some years ago that matches the name: BTW

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Isn't ever going to happen. What I mean by that is that ugly and horrific word we all know...tradition. The institutional model is a creation of men, and thus this need for "improvement." You Gentile Protestants don't realize just how Roman Catholic you really are in at least form and...
