Let me present these for you to reconcile. Acts 1:9-11 9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood...

So True!

Yes and John is contrasting those who are in the light against those who are not. Simply because the audience is believers does not mean you cannot give teachings about non-believers within your context.

In the beginning she states she is a Christian. I believe with the Ghandi portion she is attempting to express how we need to be Christ-like. If Ghandi loves the Christ, he should also love Christians if they are being Christ-like. It is because of the improper attitudes of Christians he does...

1John 1:6-7 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. This passage...

Why am I compelled to believe these people were ever born again? Simply because you or some pastor believes they were born again? Can you or these pastors look into the hearts and minds of these so called believers. As far as scripture explains only God can do that. 1Corinthians 4:5 5...

http://www.catechism.cc/articles/homosexuality-sin.htm Homosexuality and Sin: a summary of Catholic teaching A. Basic Moral Principles 1. All sexual acts, outside of natural marital relations open to life, are intrinsically evil and always objective mortal sins. 2. All...

No I am not contradicting myself. Though I understand why you might see it that way. Salvation and or soteriology are difficult subjects to comprehend, and is probably the greatest division point or doctrine in the church. Please allow me to explain how I understand the subject and I pray the...

It seems you are continually refining your presentations, and choosing your words wiser and wiser. I must say I agree with much of what you have posted I desire to add only it is by His strength and the providing of he Holy Spirt that we are ably to obey. Those who choose not to obey prove...

1John 3 1 See ahow great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that...

Vale, I see your genuine concern as encouraging. I have wrestled with this in my own mind at times. I have considered this first foundation, love your neighbor as yourself. Being that we all deal with sin at some certain level, how would we judge ourselves in any given case? (Matthew 7:2)...

I have also found people think, "God would not do that because that is not fair." I do agree God is not partial, yet God does not have to be fair rather just. In His sovereignty and according to His nature He chooses to be merciful and bestow grace. Pharaoh is a great example of God not...

So now you are making the case that the Church is Babylon as per the Revelation reference? From where do you base your thesis? Here is a verse for all you who are against organized religion and organization within the Church. Hebrews 10:24-25 24 And let us consider one another to provoke...

If one person gets saved from attending a church, then God is using that platform. Percentages and or numbers can be skewed to say just about anything.

I think you and I are on the same page here. Some abuse scripture contextually to make false doctrine. Yet I was hinting on the fact of organization in the early Church. Perhaps I should expound it a bit to further my case and better the understanding. Looking to the early Church we see...

I will come to the carpet here, yet admittedly it will be just short. Before a dramatic conversion to authentic Christianity and a discipleship with the Lord, I had that notion I was god. Pantheistic in origin, yet in a nutshell the whole god is one thing none the less. I had read quite a few...

The Acts 4 reminds me of the reincarnation thing. Notice how most who claim reincarnation claim they were someone famous in the past. LOL! They couldn't just be Joe Nobody, they were Helen of Troy or Caesar or somebody.

Just a little brainstorming after reading this... My first thought while reading it. The common phrase "I am spiritual, but not religious at all." What a post-modern statement! Let me unpack this a bit. religion |riˈlijən|nounthe belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp...

Proving with the manner in which you handle God's word, the one deceived is you. Here Paul is referring to his Damascus road experience. Not all believers have the same experience as Paul did. John 20:29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did...
