What did Jesus mean when he said, “Upon this rock I will build my church”? The name Peter (Gk., Petros) means “rock” or “rock-man.” In the next phrase Christ used petra (upon this rock), a feminine form for “rock,” not a name. Christ used a play on words. He does not say “upon you, Peter” or...

Hi Grams, There are many Catholics in my neighborhood, I know many of them. Some, are obviously Catholic in name only and do not do the things Jesus commanded us, nor do they know anything about the bible...lot's of Protestants like this too. Then, I consider a few of my friends who are...

Migraine!

Hi Grams, These ole bodies of ours were meant to wear out, and the older I get, the more I experience it. BUT!!! God will give us new bodies that will never age :) We'll be able to jump, run, dance as much as we want without pain!!! ❤ God bless and keep you :)

Welcome to the site Mutt!

Ahaha...I can see that happening so well, it is so funny they do not know their own sizes! One of mine, when she wants to play will paw my hand and one side of her mouth stretches back and her tail is going nuts! I would say it is her version of a smile :D

Nancy said: ↑ "And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Many see this as today. I am not settled on the fact as yet...like, could this not have been what happened in Act's?"...

Without His Word, we would be flailing about even more so than we already do. For our minds to be sound and focused we follow The Word. And since without it, we will have no faith as, "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" Romans 10:17...and if we have no faith then...we can...

Welcome to the forum @CovenantPromise!

Ya know what Pat, I think it has allot to do with "Sola Scriptura". And, I am totally a proponent of this, it's the complete Word of God and if something does not line up with scripture or edify the Church in some way, I have to question it. I need the order of being able to go to the single...

Yes, pretty much. I was raised Catholic and to be honest, all those statues scared me as a girl.

Hi John! From what I have read in Ecc. 9, we all have the same destiny, both good and evil. Yes, we will die physically but we will all live somewhere in eternity...whether it be heaven or hell with the un-righteous and Satan and his demons and the beast or...just, poof - gone as in at least...

Oh definitely we are to always pray for one another! And, I sure do covet the prayers of others, more than anything. When have no words: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless...

Hi Pat, I think this has gone over heads or just something some will not let go of? Stuff like this is so simple to understand yet...some just hang onto praying to those who have passed, I don't get it...when we can go "boldly" to the throne of God, WHY would anybody ever pray TO a saint who is...

Hi 4, Well, you can count me as number 3. This country has been run by corrupt politicians for decades, right under our noses...their consciences have been seared as with a hot iron and they do NOT care about the little folk, except to wring us dry of the little money we do have to live on...

All Christians are considered "saints". Acts 9:13 , Acts 26:10; Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2 There is no "special" group of people who only have the term saints...ALL Christians-those who are alive on this Earth. Once one has passed on, you cannot ask them to pray for you...if this is what...

My objection is these two words: "for" and "to". We do not pray TO other human beings, in heaven or here in this world, they cannot answer prayers! We DO pray FOR one another as, only Jesus can be the mediator. Simple to me, anyhow.

Yes, confess to each other, for accountability and yes, we pray FOR one another, not TO one another as only Jesus can bring our prayers directly to God Himself.

I was never comfortable around chimps...they can be unpredictable so yes, one better know their signals!

Everyone here seems hard pressed to give me a single scripture instructing us to pray TO anyone BUT Jesus who then, being our only mediator will bring our requests to God Himself.
