Stars are symbolic of angels or men. Depends on context

What agreement can there be between light and darkness, between the holy and the profane? This isn't a debate between Protestants and Catholics. Too late for that, as you've already noticed, the so called Protestants have already apostatized and surrendered. The controversy today continues as it...

What is more despicable is your blind obstinate refusal to recognize Christianity in parts of the early world distinct from catholicism. The Celtic church was not Catholic. Nor was the Syrian church, Persian, India, or Chinese churches. They were distinct in practise and in doctrine. Thomas was...

You are believing the lie of Satan, "ye shall not surely die", which I think is what quantum has been getting at.

So you believe God immortalizes sin and those who partake in it? Where in scripture does it ever suggest that God grants sinners the gift of eternal life?

The righteous believers in Christ are resurrected at the second coming. The wicked who are now dead, and those who did at the second coming, take part in the second resurrection, the resurrection of damnation. After the pronouncement is guilty at their judgement, they are all cast into the lake...

None of the above. 1. Creation took 7 literal days. 2. As I said previously, death is simply that. Complete cessation of life. We are not immortal, not our spirit or soul lives on as a separate living entity after death. 3. Adam and Eve would have died that day as God warned, but grace...

So once one accepts Christ's sacrifice on his behalf, then we need to decide what we do with the precious gift weaa have received. And there I tend to agree with you, that Christians, while generally accepting that their lives ought to reflect the virtues and example of the one in whom they...

The gospel is simple. And if you understood it as well as you claim, you would have accepted it long ago. The gospel isn't some subjective truth open to the whims and fancies of interpretation. The gospel is found throughout the scriptures, beginning in the 3rd chapter of Genesis. It isn't about...

Nonsense.

But not the only one. What it does do is commendable, and needful. But other denominations have their own systems of social work and helping others. And on a per member basis, possibly doing more than the Catholic Church.

Well, first there is the well known Thomas Christians of Goa, India. Sadly, they were the victims of later inquisitions by Jesuits. I would imagine that being established by the apostle Thomas means they were fairly early. But that wasn't what I was originally referring to, I was thinking of...

Close, but not quite. The statue of Daniel 2 gives you the framework on which to build the prophecies of Daniel 7,8,11 and 12. The head of gold, Babylon. Defeated as you say by Meda-Persia, the silver chest and arms. They were defeated by Greece, bronze torso, (Alexander the Great), whose empire...

Satan was lying. Any new age esoteric pagan occult teaching that entertains the idea that the soul is immortal, is also a lie. People who die are asleep, awaiting the resurrection. Some, those who are friends with Jesus, will be resurrected at the second coming and will be given eternal life...

Daniel 8:14

I would dispute the Coptic church or the Catholic Church as being first. The Jerusalem church was first, then the Asian churches, and after 70ad, the Christians as they them became known, congregated on large numbers in Pella, Antioch, etc. Papal Rome never had any political or religious...

I wasn't referring that letter to you, it was too BoL, sorry for the confusion

By recognizing the relation between over watch and over see, I think I demonstrated write well how languages work. What you stubbornly refuse to recognize is there is some intellectual integrity outside of your own narrow prejudicial perceptions and deceptive reasoning. Your say above you...

Human beings are a relational people. They received that same mindset from their Creator, who is a relational God. In every man is an innate desire to love, be loved and belong. The gospel addresses that hunger. In the OT God told Moses, "let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among...

Well, you have a problem then. Because I'm not changing in order to relieve you of your 'pain'. If the truth hurts that much, it's you who will have to change your mentality. You will have to deal with it another way if you are going to continue to read my posts.
