I have a question. I have never asked this as of yet to someone who believes the church existed in the OT. What do you base it on? It has to be more than the use of the word "ekklesia" in the Greek Septuigant for the assembly in the wilderness. Ekklesia means a called assembly. It came to...

Then I apologize. t is your choice of wording that is very common with those who spiritualize away the truth of Scripture for newer meanings.

No that is not what I am saying. Exercising faith in "THEFaith" means placing your trust in the deat, burial and physical resurrection of Jesus for ones sins. that is THE Faith

Sorry but that is incorrect. OT people had no knowledge of Jesus nor that their Messiah would be crucified for their sins. they also did not have the indwelling of the Holy spirit, but only the on dwelling. But most important is what Jesus Himself said: Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto...

While I agree Gods people in all ages have met or congregated, we must make a distinction between the NT church and the OT assemblies. The church as defined by the NT is the assembly of those who have been born again and are infilled by the Holy Spirit. the infilling did not take place at all...

That is why you can get a stay in a federal appeals court until it works its way through the appeals process

Well they love to try! But if we have a literalist SCOTUS- then the laws should be upheld.

Because the Holy Spirit will not cause you to render a new understanding of Scripture. Many people get confused because of this rule: There is only one interpretation of Scripture, but there can be several applications. What this means is that there may be more than one "personal" application...

I do have a clear understanidng of teh subject thank you. In that context, yes we do worship the same god as Father. But because Jews reject the deity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they also worship a different God. Maybve it is better defined as Jews worshihp an incomplete God for they reject...

The church was born at Pentecost. The word church comes from the Septuigant but it is actually th eassembly THE church was not born until Pentecost.

She can't do it legally. Patentr rights are powers granted by Congress. If they sue her at SCOTUS she should lose.

Chrtianity is the fulfilment of Judaism or the conclusion of it and the prophecies. Jews and Muslims worship a different God. If you do not honor the same in the same manner as the Father as Jesus said- you have neither teh Father and son.

No you just gave you ropinion. to refute my points requires Scripture which you lack in your posts. I have in this thread and many others. I have given numerous Scriptures that prove the 5 points are biblical. all you do is say no they are not and then refuse to support your answer with...

Not actually in that place but heading for the second death until He came and rescued us.

Well with the Ephesians passage, it is faith (trust) in THE FAITH that saves. It becomes hard to understand when you look at, but "faith" is a verb and "THE Faith" is a noun. Exercising faith in THE faith is what saves us.

So be it.

Well given those two choices I would say personal faith. It is actually the gospel that is "THE Faith". And that good news is what was once for all delieverd to the saints. but as it is what is required for salvation- I lean to your first. Religious practices have differed since the gospel...

I do not think they can imprison him. th elogistics would be horrendous. He is by law required to have a secret service contingent with Him at all times.

That does not equate to them hearing the gospel and having an opportunity to be saved. I went back and looked at all your posts , from you first (#8) to the first post to respond to me. Youi offered lots of conjecture and opinion and claims against me and others but only 7 bible verses in all...

With all teh psychiatrists and psychologists out there vying for a limited pool of clients, we are all a little crazy to them! :jest:
