I for one BELIEVE what Jesus said in Jn. 6:63 following what He said about eating His flesh, and drinking His blood.., "It is the Spirit who give life; the flesh profits nothing; the words I have spoken to you are spirit (spiritual) and are life." Jesus said that He was speaking spiritually...

Literacy rates were low in Bible times. The availability of having a whole Bible would have been the property of few and the rich. I can see why God may use the extraordinary, such as dreams to speak to people. Many people do not have a problem discerning when God is speaking to them, and I...

Trump does not believe it is normal for people to video themselves licking toilet seats, eating Tide Pods, and snorting condoms... he is of a generation that did not have to assume that the average American is an Idiot, and the Fake Media knows it!

God's power is to bring victory over sin. To deliver the repentant believer. Holiness is not legalism; it is the will of God. Any "grace" that does not have the power to regenerate and change someone, is not real grace. Ineffectual, powerless grace is no grace at all. If God cannot deliver you...

They look good! You make me hungry! I like your idea of a family competition!

If a Theocracy turns your stomach today, then you will be miserable in eternity!

You're on a greased rail to Hell Buddy! :) It does not matter one iota! If you do not speak or understand archaic Elizabethan English, and you understand you NKJV... stick with what you understand!

That's interesting! I did not know that. Hebrew is an academic weakness for me. It's one of my goals to learn it someday.

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God...

I don't disagree, yet we are not there yet. A Theocracy will be established.

I know that people do not want to hear it, but the primary reason they do not accept it is because they have sin they are unwilling to give up. One thing that I have leaned through my many years on the planet is, even the unregenerate fancies that they are their way to heaven. Whether it be the...

Yes, "the people" are the Church. Yet we gather and are organized with a purpose! How we run these organizations is a matter of Government. I remember when people juxtaposed Churches as either "formal" or "spiritual". I do not see that we are stuck with either "Spiritless Formalism" or...

While the styles of Church government are not limited to the similarity of the named Denominations, most Churches today are the Presbyterian form of government.

Thanks for the nice greeting! I'm just glad that it is not a "Wow! You're an Idiot!" ;) I know that I can be difficult at times. Sometimes it is intentional to match the dogmatism on the other side. Forums stretch my thinking and gives me opportunity to dig a little deeper on some things that I...

Church Government is something that many congregations divide on and debate. The three basic styles are: Episcopal Presbyterian Congregational The Episcopal relies on the Leadership to "oversee" and determine the doctrine and polity of a Church. It does not rely on the Congregation to...

You hooked me on that one!

Where does Leviticus say that an offering or a sacrifice buys God off? ""I sinned.... I will just chuck another animal on the altar and pay off God!" Your right... it's NOT in my Bible!

No, look to the prior posts that deny Perfection and make it only occur at the hand of DEATH. If DEATH cleanses us from sin and makes us Perfect, then no one would need Christ and His Atonement! My post is just following the dogmatic assumptions and logic that some are making, and taking it to...

You caught the Gnosticism in all it's glory!

The Theological Argument applied: Commanded to be perfect with God. Deut. 18:13... God commands impossibilities! Ignore it! Grace, Grace, Grace! Walk before me and be thou perfect. Gen. 17:1... Just more taunting from God? Be perfect as your Father is perfect. Matt. 5:48... Why didn't the...
