Could it be that the theology of the 'Real Presence' is that which is closer to being that which is not the truth? The Roman Catholic New Advent exposition of 'The real presence as a fact' states: 'The whole structure of the discourse [John 6] of promise demands a literal interpretation of the...

While Jesus was on earth, he had real flesh and blood. The God-man who walked Galilee was not a spirit or ghost.

Apostolic succession, rosary beads, worship virgin Mary, priests must be celebate, and purgatory

Lovely explanation, Iforrest. :)

Tom, I find it amazing that you point the finger at another on this topic but don't see yourself as a culprit. Oz

Thanks junobet. That helps me gain a better understanding of the discussion you have been having with Stan. By the way, Judas's replacement was not Matthew, but Matthias (Acts 1:12-26 ESV). As for Rom 16:7, a fairly reasonable case can be made from the Greek text that it means, 'Greet...

junobet, You are making a leap of logic with that statement that is not necessary. What did Acts 26:12 state? 'While doing this very thing, as I was going to Damascus with authority and complete power from the chief priests' (NET Bible). Paul not only had authority by a commission of complete...

This is a straw man you have erected. I've already answered you about what you do if you disagree with those false doctrines being taught in your church. You go to the elders and follow due process. My exegesis of the relevant passages cannot conclude in support of transubstantiation or...

No duckin' and weavin', mate. You do the exegesis that leads to the correct exposition. Quit using contrary interpretations to try to reject the need for careful exegesis and hearing from the Spirit. Isn't it interesting that you did not deal with the content of what I stated. You are off and...

The verse to which you specifically refer is 1 John 4:1 (ESV). However 1 Thess 5:21-22 states, 'Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good'. 1 John (ESV) was written to 'my little children ... that you may not sin' (1 John 2:1 ESV). This book was written to...

At #293, Stan wrote, 'Oz didn't say that either but you keep equivocating about what other people say'. He was spot on. There was no cheap shot from Stan, but an agreement with what I wrote. Let's get back to the OP. Which books are missing from the Bible?

How are you, 2,000 years removed from John 10:16, hearing His voice? Nothing is a threat to me in this verse. Correct exegesis in context is what I pursue. The meaning of John 10:16 is related to the audience. Jesus, the Jew, spoke: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the...

Isn't it OK for Stan to agree with me? This is an open forum.

Please go back to #223 to see what you actually did write. John 10:16 states, 'He has other Sheep'. That does not state 'He has other sheep to speak to'. I will leave discussion there as you don't want to admit to what you actually wrote. Oz

'Which could be britons, indians or natives' is your arguing from silence. We have not a shred of evidence that the 'other sheep' of John 10:16 (ESV) refers to the Brits, Indians or Natives. But it was you who suggested back in #223 that the other sheep refers to 'in the UK, India, north america...

Please read what John 10:16 actually states. It says not a word about 'he has other Sheep to speak to'. That's your invention.

Jesus was addressing Jews. The 'other sheep that are not of this fold' in John 10:16 (ESV) are Gentiles. It is NOT a specific reference to Jesus going to Britain, India or the Americas. There is absolutely ZERO in the context to support your view.

It is not in the realm of 'in your opinion'. What do the Scriptures state? This is not difficult to determine and it seems that you are being difficult here. Two of the verses you quoted are from 2 Peter. To whom was 2 Peter written? 'Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To...

In #223 you stated: 'there are lots of these stories out there such as Jesus in the UK, India, north america and central america'. That is not what John 10:16 teaches.
