    Learning about Orthodoxy

    And yet there are protestants that do talk about and have experienced walking in the Spirit and second blessing or other ways of terming it, as I've heard testimonies and am reading some writings now. No, He always has a remnant. Any TRUE oral teaching/doctrine would simply be transmitting and...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Sister, I had to look up what sola scripture entails: {{ The term "sola scriptura" (Latin for "by Scripture alone") originated during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, primarily with Martin Luther. It became a foundational principle for many Protestant denominations, asserting...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    But do they know the Lord...do they have the Spirit...are they born again if all they have is infant baptism? What fellowship is there with those who don't have (genuine) faith? I can't see the Lord leading any of HIS people to that, when He tells us the opposite....to come out from among...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Yes, and then we get tested. God says this: 2Co 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Careful of looking for truth in all the wrong places. I'm not against knowing church history per se, but it doesn't really matter what the history of a place is, what matters is how/what they are doing now.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Jhn 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jhn 1:14-15 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    I have only ever heard one person talk about that.......and the narrow path is the way of the cross and "dying" to our old fleshly nature and enduring the chastisements which bring about that death, learning obedience by things which we suffer, so maybe that wouldn't be too surprising in that...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    By all means test evangelical Protestant churches.....and test the EO and test what you read about as concerns the churches of the past too. Test everything against the word of God. Everything we need to know about God's vision and intention for the new covenant church is found in His word, we...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    We who believe by faith, WERE saved by faith not by works....scripture is clear about that.....while we were yet sinners. At the same time we are BEING SAVED, and also we WILL BE saved in the end. Salvation is an ongoing work that had a beginning and has an end, and will be completed if we...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    How about "sola follow Christ"...? :) No need to follow either Protestantism or Eastern Orthodox (false dichotomy to pit one against the other)...just follow Jesus. The bible says to lean not to our own understanding...we need to look to the Lord and His Spirit for understanding. Yes...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Have a read of Galatians 4 sister, especially what it says about elements of this world. Religious trappings are all about external show of things...external visible physical temporal elements of this world...which elements of old covenant worship burned up in 70AD. Whereas the new covenant is...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    How can you separate the people from the religion they are following, believing in, participating in and supporting...? No but having the life of the Spirit is. And if the doctrine one believes in is bad enough, it will not lead to salvation but astray of it.

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Priests, robes, incense, rites/rituals, liturgies, tabernacle, etc are all trappings of old covenant Temple worship. The new covenant is in the new way of the Spirit which is the simplicity of Christ, or it is not the new covenant at all. Yes, we are exhorted to speak the same...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Really? What is the falling away about then, I wonder? and the Lord saying He would send strong delusion to all who received not a love of the truth? Spewing the lukewarm out of His mouth? Removing the lampstand? In the end His church is really only those who endure to the end and overcome.

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    I believe we dont' have to define ourselves by anything other than Christ Jesus. And we are members of His body, rather than of a denomination or group as such. Identifying ourselves by teacher or denomination is spoken against in scripture. "I am of Paul, or I am of Apollos..", etc, because...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Protestantism in general is in a state of apostasy these days. It can be hard to go it alone, without fellowship and some kind of structure that we know of as "church life". But if we obey the Lord to come out of the harlot Mystery Babylon in all it's forms, that is where most of us will...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    I don't see how making disciples and baptizing is related to what I said.....unless that was a mistake and you meant another scripture....?

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    It's a non-issue on purpose because otherwise they know that people will see the comparison between this and what happened on Jan. 6. Not telling you anything you don't know, but the news is not news any more in this post Christian society...it is complete and utter theatre and propaganda...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Jesus Christ was God come in the flesh as scripture explicitly attests. However, I believe the formulating and writing of a "creed" to make anyone obligated to it, in itself was a departure from the simplicity of Christ. Anything that doesn't proceed from God's spirit but is from man is bound...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    We can't make judgments about any individual who we don't know personally or who the Lord hasn't revealed anything to us about, but the bible says the heart is deceitfully wicked, who can know it? And that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. The problem with the religious old covenant...
