    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    I see no love for God or for your spiritual brothers and sisters, which produces true unity among the True God's people. That kind of love isn't among Catholics or protestant religions. They will kill each other during times of war. True Christians will remain steadfast and refuse to kill or...

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    You can quote these scriptures all you want, it's not going to change anything, these scriptures don't prove in any way what you're trying to force them to prove.

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    You can be saying you're saved all you want but if you do not put the love for the true God first in your, but instead you love something or someone more than God, God will not except that kind of love, God doesn't accept second place in anyone's life if they're truly one of his faithful servants.

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    Jesus didn't teach his Apostles to have titles among themselves, neither did Jesus tell them to think of themselves as one another's Superior but instead to be humble and thinking others as being superior to you. Each true christian is to have this humble attitude among themselves.

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    Professor Alberigo says the doctrine of the papacy didn't take root until toward the end of the fourth century, when the Roman church’s claim to an apostolic function, that is, of coordination for the western churches, becomes more insistent.” It was “during the episcopate of Leo I [fifth...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    You still have to practice love for God and your fellow man, especially for those you say are your spiritual brother/sisters. If you don't practice that kind of love then you're not a Christian no matter how much you say you are. Showing love for God means you have faith that his way is the best...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    I tell you what you continue to tell people that its only an indirect requirement to put the love of God and his word first in a person's life and I'll continue to believe that it's required for a person to put the love of God and his word first in his/her life. Putting the love of God first...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    I really could care less what you think about what I said. I know for a fact, that anyone who calls himself/herself a Christian and is practicing coveting, or stealing or bearing false witness etc isn't a Christian, they're just people who say their Christians.

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    Just what is meant by the “divinity of Christ”? I have found that there is considerable confusion on the subject, even among those belonging to denominations that are teaching it. As with many other teachings of the Bible, religious leaders have gone to extremes. On the one hand there are those...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    You do understand that showing you have complete love for God and your neighbor is required. That means do not murder, do not covet, do not bear false witness,etc.

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    Exercising faith in God has always been a requirement. So has obedience. This means you do deeds or acts that show you truly have faith in God. You believe Jesus to be your Lord and King, then be obedient to your king. The first two commandments are about showing your complete love for the Only...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    I find it interesting that God inspired Paul to use the illustration of a runner in a contest. Paul discussed his own prospects for salvation. In the preceding verses, he described how he had worked hard and exerted himself in many ways. (1 Corinthians 9:19-22) Then, in 1Corinthians 9:23, he...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    These scriptures in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 are likening our quest for eternal life to a race. By using runners and boxers in this race for eternal life, Paul taught the importance of exercising self-control, efficiency, and endurance. Paul was also urging anointed Christians who were in this race...

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    Well, I'm not going to go through the list of things that people say are scriptural that are not. What I am going to say though even though I don't think many will agree with it is that the scriptures show that a woman can be used symbolically to represent an organizational arrangement whether...

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    No, not a single person who believes that certain doctrines such as the Trinity Doctrine, Hellfire Doctrine, and the Doctrine of the Immortality of the Soul to name a few, are in the scriptures, have been able to prove to me that they're in the scriptures.

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    What you choose to believe you choose to believe. I certainly don't believe what most people say to me about what they believe the scriptures say.

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    In several instances in the scriptures women are used symbolically to represent congregations or organizations of people. They also are employed to symbolize cities. Christ’s glorified congregation is spoken of as his “bride,” also called “the holy city, New Jerusalem.” John 3:29; Revelation...

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    The woman talked about at Genesis 3:15 is actually a new expression of God's Spiritual heavenly organization, but it has nothing to do with the human named Eve. At Revelation 12:1, 2 a symbolic woman is crowned with 12 stars. The number 12 is associated with completeness in an organizational...

    THE WOMAN (Gen 3:15)

    The woman being talked about isn't Eve, it's Gods womanly heavenly organization that produced the seed that would save mankind, Gods Only Begotten Son.
