Hey Truther, I took a look at all of Scripture in regard to confession of sins and I ended up with just as many questions as answers. Maybe you can help me out. Were the Apostles a sinful proxy even though they could bind and loosen sin? How can a sinful proxy bind and loosen sin? What are we...

What man taught you this? FIRE THEM...RUN AWAY FROM THEM! Let’s keep it real. In Verse’s 48-58 He equates himself as the bread from heaven and to have eternal life we must eat this bread which is his body. In those verses he just told them MULTIPLE TIMES that they must eat his body and...

Thanks JBF. As I stated earlier I just want to be clear what each of us is saying to each other. I want to be clear that I am not saying to you that the writings of the Apostolic Fathers (Clement, Polycarp, Ignatius) are “on par with the inspired word of God”. The early Christian Church...

Hey JBF< I am trying to be VERY CLEAR here and maybe I am failing. We are not talking about the early church fathers. We are talking about the Apostolic Fathers who walked and talked with the Apostles. Students of the Apostles. That seems pretty dang "authoritative" to me compared to a...

Hi JBF, We are not talking about "anyone". We are talking about students of the Apostles. There was no "reading into the text". It wasn't "doctrine that has been taught to them elsewhere". They heard with their own ears what the Apostles taught and they then wrote it down on paper....well, not...

It's not my opinion kiddo. YOU and many other Protestants on this forum have made it VERY CLEAR that you can come to your own truth when you (believe) have been guided by the Holy Spirit. MANY MANY MANY times John 16:13 has been used as proof text for that theory. Have you ever used John...

What is "the cult of the Virgin"? YOU know what is in line with the Spirit of God???

Thanks Behold....It has already been well established (by you) that anyone that teaches opposite of YOU needs help. We get it...

Huh....o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O

I stand corrected. Thank you!!

Hey Wrangler, This has been debated for many years but it wasn't debated in the early church. The earliest explanation (teaching) of the “brothers” of the Lord is found in a document known as the Protoevangelium of James, which was written around A.D. 150. It speaks of Mary as a consecrated...

Sad, truly sad! :(

Behold, When you tell someone what they believe is "nonsense" that IS belittling. I KNOW you will never admit that or apologize to @justbyfaith but that is just who you are. I am not suggesting that JBF wants an apology. I know if it was me I would feel belittled and hope for an apology but...

You are right Renniks. You "never said that" you didn't think it was a hard saying. But it seemed pretty easy for you to figure out what Jesus really meant when he said we must eat him: eat him = believe in him Would you care to address the rest of my post showing that for the first 150 years...

Lol Behold....you crack me up...Sooooo when someone quotes Scripture to support their beliefs about baptism they sound like a Catholic??? Is agreeing with The Catholic Church on a teaching supposed to be a bad thing??? Because if that were true then there are A LOT of Protestants who agree...

Thanks Renniks. 2,000 years ago the Jews that Jesus was talking too that day thought he literally meant eat him. That is why they walked away and that is why Jesus said it was a hard saying. 1,995 years ago Paul asked the rhetorical question Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give...

Thanks JBF. So you don’t have to (unless you want to) what post of yours can I read that sums up your belief about water baptism? I am truly interested. Also, thank you for being forthright and not going into an anti-Catholic tirade like some on here. It’s refreshing.... Mary

Thanks JBF. For me I would rather read what someone wrote who actually were taught by the Apostles and LIVED the holy Scriptures since they have first hand knowledge. I would not trust what someone wrote 1,500 years later who is giving their opinion on what they think the Apostles taught. But...

I appreciate it. In the bread of life discourse He told us we must eat/drink his body/blood. At The Last Supper he showed us how to eat/drink his body/blood. How does what he told us to do and showed us how to do it match up with the interpretation you were taught? I understand that is what...

Thank you. In the Lords Prayer it says “give us this day our daily bread”. What is that daily bread we are asking Him to give us? Mary
