Faith comes by hearing the word through a preacher. Rom 10

The word Gospel is pretty close to "gossip". One's bad, one's good. But both involve an account or story of something. The Gospel is the account of Jesus. Of course, its the "news" of what he accomplished. That all seems pretty simple. But we shouldn't lose focus on that.

I don't like any spin... Catholic or otherwise. But you are right up to a point. The lesson is that many saw the truth (and they were all noble for that) but not many stayed with it. Kind of like when the RCC was conducting their inquisitions. The martyrs are those who would not bow down to...

No, he did answer your questions. Yes, you do attack the person. You haven't destroyed anything. You barely even use scripture! In context or out of context. Sorry....

More spin.

Well. Yes, the noble bereans did that. But what happened once the Jews posed a threat? How noble were they? It is true that the leaders today don't compare to the apostles. But today's leaders know what the apostles did and they eould marvel at what today's leaders can do.

Mungo, the Bible doesn't need much interpreting IF you believe what it says. It only needs interpreting if you have another doctrine which doesn't line up with it. Then, you have to explain why the bible doesn't mean what it says and you have to claim it isn't the only source of truth. That's...

I am trying to imagine why there is a lack of responses to this post. I can only imagine its because its so utterly rediculous. It would be easier to reply to a Spongebob Squarepants quote. Fist of all... I don't think the Bible needs that much interpeting. Especially the NT. Its pretty...

Tom... No. you didn't get it correct and I did not change my statements. You simply didn't read them correctly. Now, I know you don't have any Biblical evidence to back up this fairy tale that Mary remained a virgin. I on the other hand do have Biblical evidence to say she had children...

No, I did not say she wasn't a virgin. No, I did not say she wasn't married. No, scripture does not say Joseph was going to divorce her. Get it right!

Matthew 1:18-25: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused [not married] to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was...

I love the "sour grapes" endings people give.

No betrothed does not mean married, neithet does espoused. Joseph was going to put her away, which is not the same thing as divorced. Engaged people don't get divorced. Wonderful smoke screen though... Whether Jodrph an Mary were married at whatever time has nothing to do with the topic. As...

Your own article doesn't evem agree with you! Neither does the Bible.

Here's the problem... None of that is true! Mary was espoused, not married. There was such thing as an engagement. I believe Jacob was engaged for about 14 years to one wife and 7 years to another. Furthermore, espoused means promised to be married, not "married". Luke 1 does not say they...

Paul was not wrong to go to Jerusalem. He wasn't accepted, but that doesn't mean he didn't do the Lord's will. Have a look at Acts 23:11

I don't want pages of arguements, I want a verse!

Giving scripture is one thing. Giving scripture that actually is useful is something different and something you haven't done. All those verses do not prove your point and do not prove that mat 1:25 doesn't state what is obvious: that Mary remained a virgin until the birth of Jesus. All those...

I give you bible and you give me humpty dumpty.. Nice.

Yes, I did. Whether or not you accept it does not mean it wasn't given. Mat 1:24-25 say that he [Joseph] knew her not till she had brought forth Jesus... Yours and Tom's examples do not apply. THey are different circumstances. Furthermore we have written word that says Jesus had brothers...
