Why I am here is reflected in the name, Brakelite. I am convinced that God not only desires, but actively encourages and promotes Truth, as it is in Jesus. He does that through any and all methods and means He can in the hope someone is listening. My hope is that maybe, sometimes, He can...

Add to that 'Behold's' presumptions regarding your faith in scripture. Oh that we all could not only just accept what is written in scripture, but also what we tell each other on the forum, without the assumptions associated with the denominations we align with, or the prejudices of our own...

I do think however we can make a very good educated guess, at least in this case, as to what it was that Paul was referring to which he had previously spoken to them about. Ithink in context, the holding on of teachings and traditions etc previously taught, was in direct reference to the...

What were once literal local powers in the OT have through prophecy become types and symbols of NT global spiritual powers. Literal Israel had now become God's global faithful church. Literal Babylon has now become a fallen apostate global conglomerate, of which the two beasts of Revelation...

True, however He has chosen to use a hierarchal system or organisational structure in order to keep order and have united brethren cooperating to accomplish a divine mission.

I have been reading through this conversation, and find it stimulating, thanks to the goodwill between you guys. I am reminded of the time in the Gospels when Jesus sent out His disciples, and they came back rejoicing that even the demons obeyed them. There was no laying on of hands, in...

Wrong. There may be many things in the human heart of which we are unaware. Sanctification is an ongoing process, God will not chase away all the enemy, our "personal demons" so to speak, overnight. Conversion doors bring us a radical change of mind whereby sin becomes distasteful, and...

“25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into...

And almost everyone else, including you, says they are optional. What you deny is the fact that the law that was written on stone is the same one that is written on the heart. But God writes nothing on the heart you don't want. He doesn't force or coerce your will. However much of your heart...

Just to add perhaps, some balance. Scripture does declare that the Spirit of prophecy is in God's end time church. “The Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants and prophets.” While “the secret things belong unto the Lord our God,” “those things which are...

What desperation is revealed by those who completely ignore one's post that answers all previous challenges, and proceeds to double down on his prejudiced inferences based on some unconfirmed hearsay experiences, and condemns an entire 25 million membership of partaking of his straw men...

No-one is to look to the law of God for salvation. The law will always point us to Christ. How so? It exposes our sin, and convicts us of our need of a Saviour. And what does our Saviour do? Does He take the law away so we feel better about ourselves? Does He discard the one law that...

Indeed we do. None. Unless of course they have the scriptures. And they believe the scriptures. And through their relationship with Christ and by His grace they choose to act on that belief by keeping sabbath. Then that becomes written on their minds... they act, they believe, in good...

True, but with a few exceptions. Revelation14. Every single teaching in the NT regarding the resurrection and the second coming. Every single parable that treats of the same. Every single teaching/doctrine in the NT that speaks of angels gathering the elect together. Every single...

Yet the NT church honoured the Sabbath, and continued to do so for centuries until the papacy persecuted them for doing so. And yet even then, they're were Sabbath keeping churches in every century even to our day. Why? Because they found no biblical reason to change that which the apostles...

Your words were, And I don't believe you. One visit to a church and you "find out" a woman there is having multiple affairs and people were laughing and joking as they transgressed other commandments of God? And all this in just one church you happened to visit. Wow. You paint a vivid...

I would love to know your reasoning that transports you from the above, to

Totally. A well known Christian journalist was asked in an interview, "what is wrong with the world?". His answer, we are. He was right. Yes He does. And amen to that. But first He has to let everything play out. Satan with limited influence, but permitted to express himself...

Please explain how we do that. How our beliefs teach that NT church leaders gave gentile converts license to sin. Paul himself wrote, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. ” Romans 3:31 KJV I think you lucked out on that one. I have been to...
