    Should Priests Get Married?

    HA!!!! Boy, would this make for one hell of an excuse on judgement day. "But Lord, if only I could get marry, I wouldn't be getting touchy feely with children".............. Even though a great percentage of these dirt bags are married. Sorry Truth, but I can assure you that this excuse ain't...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    :) Yeah, well I hope you have fun casting your 'self sacrificial love' to dogs and vipers. I tend to give dogs and vipers the "love" they desire, and no, its not quite like "eye for an eye". ;)

    Saved By Fear?

    So Jesus says we must be "born again" of the spirit and water to enter the kingdom of God. Paul states that to be in the presence of God, our earthly form must be transformed into the heavenly form prepared by God. So I take it that Moses and Elijah was "born again" since they are already in...

    The likeness of God on his throne

    :rolleyes:..........Heresy according to who? You and your Catholic doctrine? I never said God is not omnipresent, I define his omnipresence by and through the holy spirit, as scripture correctly informs us. That is how he can claim to dwell within all believers at once. It isn't done just by...

    The likeness of God on his throne

    If its not an eyewitness account, then "vision" or not, it cannot be trusted, and Ezekiel is a false prophet. God himself is not "omnipresent" because he has a tangible form which resides in heaven, Moses testifies to this himself after all. But he is and can be "everywhere present" through...

    Saved By Fear?

    So, if "you shall surely die" means separation from God, then why are they still having a conversation with him immediately after? At what point is this 'connection' with God supposed to occur, before or after Jesus Christs Resurrection? We still see examples of God himself dwelling with sinners...

    Saved By Fear?

    Now that I really think about it, I don't see why it would have to say "spiritual death" since the "spiritual death" isn't technically supposed to occur until the "second death" in the very end, where both the body and the spirit will be destroyed. But assuming they really became "spiritually...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Notice the key words here, to "love one another". Do you see what you are actually saying here? This concept of love first of all has to go both ways for it to really work. And really, when Jesus said love your neighbor as you would yourself, I don't think he meant "unconditionally" like you...

    Why is it a stupid thread?? hmmm

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    And I don't even consider just forgiving someone "unconditional" love. Just as there are limits to growth, there are also limits to love when it comes down to it.

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Perhaps, I just keep it simple and treat others like I would want to be treated, and this is not "unconditional" or "perfect" love, its just showing that you have an ounce of common decency within you. You can apply this basic principle that Jesus taught to global politics and the world would be...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    To love someone "perfectly" entails that the love is unconditional, which is an impossible task in this world. There are certainly conditions to love, and I just roll my eyes at anyone claiming otherwise.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    Oh that's what you meant........never mind. ;)

    Jack Van Impe says the Holy Spirit has told him that he is God's final prophet

    The authenticity of his hair can certainly be brought into question hey.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    Well, whats wrong with not wanting to fight in someone else's war??

    Jack Van Impe says the Holy Spirit has told him that he is God's final prophet

    :rolleyes:........*sigh*......Self professed "oracles" like Jack Van Impe are a shining example of whats wrong with the so called "body of Christ". Its reputation has been damaged because of these buffoons. I well and truly wish these sleazebags would disappear into a black hole, never to return...

    The likeness of God on his throne

    Well, David and Moses never states that Psalms 91:4 or Exodus 15:8 or any other place that mentions God having wings were ever meant to be descriptions of Gods likeness, so therefore I have no reason to take them literally. This is unlike Ezekiel where he plainly states his description is indeed...

    The likeness of God on his throne

    Exactly, Jesus never gave us a reason to take that as just a metaphor. If scripture doesn't explain something as metaphorical or a parable, then there is no justification for us to believe it as such. Lets also not forget about what king of Babylon saw with his own two eyes. He literally...

    Theory of Evolution

    Acually you got it wrong yet again. The word used for "God" in Matt 1:23 you cite here is in fact the exact same word used in Revelation referring to God descending from heaven and bringing the city with him. If you want to try and allegorize everything, then you should at least stop relying so...

    The likeness of God on his throne

    Never said God has a fleshly body like that of a human, only the form of one. There is a clear distinction made, but also a clear similarity made. His appearance is that of fire, but his form is that of a human, like his image bearers, as Ezekiel plainly reveals. Clearly, "after our likeness"...
