I wonder if that is why monks would scourge themselves with whipping straps across the back?

The dissection of the Greek name by modern "scholars" is wrong. It is not academic, it is written in scripture. There was actually a guy named Nicolas who was the leader of this group and is spoken of by Eusebus, concerning the Nicolas of Acts 6:5, and who was closer in history to the doctrine...

As I said, they are three-fold. You see one dimension. What you said is true of only one of them. But the history of the church is laid out from beginning to end.

If you are going to call me a heretic, you are going on ignore. Bye.

Wow! So you don't believe in the PROPHECY of the second coming of Christ. Okay - bye!

You're lucky. He rarely, if ever, responds to mine. LOL Maybe he has me on ignore. There are scriptures I find very interesting about the Spirit, and because of them, I would never be so dogmatic as to say that if you don't believe in the Trinity, you are not saved. The "Jesus only"...

and @Harvest 1874 Harvest is right about church ages, though, for us, I believe the church age of Sardis has affected us the most with its heresy regarding sin not separating us from Christ. Jesus calls it the dead church. Also, I do not agree that the apostasy started in Smyrna, as Jesus has...

Yes, but I see "the Great Apostasy" as being here for some time, a few hundred years, in fact. I have a great fear for the Church that whole denominations are in peril. It is concerning the law. Some have twisted sound doctrine that makes freedom from the law, into lawlessness. No, it is a...

Yes, this makes me think of Romans 6. Paul states a fact that Jesus makes us "dead to sin." And yet, further he emphasizes the necessity of reckoning ourselves dead to sin. Why? Because of your statement. "there is a direct correlation between what we think and how we act." He goes on in the...

See how he twists scripture? DaveL: But now face to face. Bible: but then face to face. Even with the Bible now in our hands we STILL see God as through a dark glass. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many interpretations that are dead wrong. But when we are in His presence (those who keep His...

Leave it to Dave to pull up some scandal of sexual misconduct that proved to be false and the charges were dropped. He was framed by Wilbur Voliva. Parham had previously stopped preaching at Voliva's Zion City church in order to set up his Apostolic Faith Movement. This is exactly why God hates...

Not that I've seen.

Two terms I don't come across often, and have never understood. What is the scriptural basis for each.

Are you sure that is what Calvinists believe? It seem antichrist to me. Though I have never agreed with any Calvinist doctrine, this one seems extreme even for them.

I agree with you, and you don't understand me. God's rest is not confined to a day of the week, like it was to teach us that there IS a rest in God. Jesus gives us rest, everyday.

No, I think I've got you pegged just fine, and am not interested in continuing discussing anything with you. Nothing you have said on this subject has been edifying.

Your answer to my definition that repeats the Word of God is that you commit sins of lawlessness. It sounds like you are proud of the fact. Nothing more to discuss. What I believe would just be foolishness to a carnal mind.

Not true, you just wanted to argue, rather than discuss. And as far as leading somewhere, you were going around in circles, never wanting to leave an old ritual we are no longer under, so is no longer LAW.

My definition of lawlessness being against God's laws is not incorrect. What sins you like to commit besides the Sabbath which no longer applies, is up to you. And I'm through with you.

It doesn't seem you wanted to accept my explanation about the Sabbath included in the law as just its sign. So if you do not want learn what lawlessness is, fine. Have a great day.
