Yes, I have often wondered why Church leaders have not to my knowledge expressed repentant regret concerning these horrendous actions.

Yes all good. For the sake of understanding it is good to make the important distinction between the Living Word of God and the Scripture. Many deliver the Scripture in a wrong spirit like Satan did at the temptation. The Scripture without the Holy Spirit is potentially deceptive. Calling...

What took you to the US ???

For the record my comment about anarchy had nothing to do with RJ but another member whose post was deleted.

Yep my dad had a piston collapse on holiday withdrew it on the road side - we came home with 5 cylinders on a 39 Chev.

Yeah... the Cresta was not a crank start... Our family car was a 1927 Bean 14 !!!

Wonderful - Praise Jesus.

Sad to see you go - sorry for any misunderstandings.

This is a sad outcome, my comments were regarding other members appearing on the thread without regard for what the thread is all about. We should all feel free to express opinions and feel safe doing this.

OK for the sake of transparency here is a summary of my background. Dad was Salvation Army, Mum was Roman Catholic but she turned and both were distanced from their families and were not regular in Church. There were 5 at the wedding - the taxi driver was called on to be an official witness. In...

Shucks... sorry Pearl - thanks for your input...

Thanks for the effort you put into this response and the kind participation in the thread. In order to create a safe place we needed some boundaries and the creed seemed to be the best pick. It is interesting that the well known verse "Without a vision the people perish..." The Hebrew word for...

Friends I need some feedback - we are in danger of this study denigrating into a scriptural bunfight like many other threads - folks seem to be able to participate without heed to the rules or consideration for the friendly spirit we intended to foster. Let's desist from arguing positions and...

Sorry for the confusion Rita, the comment was addressed to Hepzibah... However APAK's reply to you was very much on point so that clarifies the issue. :)

OK can we give this topic a rest... We have had some great input and established a much more Scriptural appreciation of what the Word of God is. Give me a couple of days to consolidate topic 2. Meantime feel free to share about an occasion in which God intervened in some way in your life in...

@Hepzibah My position was not as you state. I allowed both versions of the creed given that the mods ban discussion on the trinity. I think it better to honour their position and gracefully withdraw from pressing a point beyond the bounds of what is allowed here. You position is well put and...

Yes I think revelation will not cease but we will learn more and more about His Glory into eternity.

Good morning from New Zealand... Thanks for the lively discussion as I slept! One point I should explain a bit more. The Word of God existed before anything was made. His Word (Jesus) went forth in the Power of His Spirit and the Heavans and the Earth were created from nothing. The Father...

Just wondering how many folks picked up on the 'Word of God' in Acts referred to the uttered words of believers under the power and inspiration of the Holy Spirit proclaiming the Truth of the Gospel - and not specifically a reference to Scripture?

The word 'Catholic' in the Creed is not referring to a denomination in fact most mainstream denominations are in agreement with this creed.
