    Scripture is not the last word.

    I simply am saying that the Pharisees were saying they were Gods true servants and that they had Gods backing in the oral law which was not true. The people feared them because of the authority they had, telling the people in Israel not to pay any attention to what Jesus Christ and his disciples...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Wrong, the Pharisees believed in the oral law more than anything and the oral law was not scripture the oral law was not inspired by God. Jesus Christ tells us in scripture that they meaning the Pharisees makes scripture void by their tradition(the oral law)

    Scripture is not the last word.

    The P I don't know about this. Too many people have said, hey I know what I said is true cause I have the Holy Spirit of God and his Spirit has told me the truth. The fact that he may be saying something contrary to scripture doesn't matter cause he says he is simply being guided by God in...

    Defending Homosexuality

    What you say isn't true God has never forced his way on mankind, he has always allowed man a choice to obey or disobey or believe or have faith in God's way or you can choose your own way. If you choose your own way God let's you Know the consequences of that choice. Those who practice all forms...

    Defending Homosexuality

    While it's true the Christian disagrees with the sexually immoral life style the Christian doesn't hate the person. The Christian also doesn't get involved in trying to stop gay people from marrying, trying to force their beliefs upon them. God doesn't force people to have faith in him or...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    "Hell" is an English word that translates the Greek word "Hades." The Greek word "Hades" translates the Hebrew word "Sheol." The definition of Sheol was simply the grave of mankind. It's where both righteous and unrighteous went to when they died but must be understood to be symbolic since man...

    Are The Laws Done Away With?

    The scriptures clearly tell us that it's exercising faith in John 3:16 that's how you gain eternal life not obeying any law. If obedience to any law could save us then there would have been no need for God to send his Only Begotten Son to die for mankind. It's the law of love we are obedient to...

    Something You Need to Think About!!

    The scriptures you quoted speak of a invisible presence not a literal one. Think about it, if Jesus comes literally, why does Jesus need to be revealed to the world. If Jesus comes literally physically all you do is look up and there he is if he comes literally, no revealing required.

    Something You Need to Think About!!

    The rapture is “the sudden disappearance of millions and millions of people without so much as a trace of where they went!” So said one Protestant evangelist. According to the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, the term “rapture” refers to “the church being united with Christ at his second...

    Something You Need to Think About!!

    The one thing I have continued to not understand is when people take scriptures out of context to prove their beliefs or faith. The scriptures that people try to prove the rapture are talking of a resurrection which is bringing someone back to life who has died. The resurrection hope has always...

    Abortion ?

    At Matthew 17:9 Jesus himself says this is a vision so Moses and Elijah were not literally there since they have been long dead and had not been resurrected yet. At 2 Kings 2:11, 12 the prophet Elijah is described as “ascending in the windstorm to the heavens.” The heavens here referred to are...

    Isn't that murder? I myself don't believe there is any excuse to justify murder.

    What IS "sound doctrine".

    You said: Athanaius was a theologian in the 4th century, responsible for articulating the doctrine of the Trinity and describing the incarnation of Christ as fully human and fully God. He was instrumental in stopping the Arian heresy from corrupting orthodoxy. Well Athanaius articulated the...

    What IS "sound doctrine".

    At Nicaea did the bishops in general believe that the Son was equal to God? No, there were competing points of view. For example, one was represented by Arius, who taught that the Son had a finite beginning in time and was therefore not equal to God but was subordinate in all respects...

    What IS "sound doctrine".

    Yes the scriptures show us that sound doctrine is important, but what is sound doctrine? It's easy for people to say that sound doctrine is that The True God sent his Only Begotten Son to die for mankind and resurrected him three days after his death and anyone exercising faith in this loving...
