Now? That idea goes back centuries.

What do you think the meaning of Jesus was in saying... KJV Matthew 5:21-22 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (6th commandment) 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother...

Oh horrors!!!

I wouldn't laugh. It's going to happen.

While I am not averse to discussion on the Godhead, even debate so long as all participants remember the holiness of the subject, which subject had been repeatedly touched upon, pulled apart, roasted and grilled elsewhere on many threads dedicated to the topic, my intent for this thread was to...

@Illuminator @BreadOfLife and numerous others. A concerning trend in science over the last 5 or so years, maybe more, is the worst development since the trial of Galileo and friends. That trend, particularly in the media and several left wing governments (such as in NZ where Jacinda Adern...

:)

I remember as if yesterday, telling the local priest that I had just received Jesus into my life and been saved. That was 45 years ago. He looked like he'd swallowed a sour grapefruit, didn't know what to say and turned away without a word. I wonder if any Catholic truly understands what it...

What????

Well said. A book I read some 30 or so years ago was highly revealing. Written by an investigative journalist, titled "In God's Name", it was a fascinating insight into Vatican finance, in particular the Vatican Bank and it's connections to Italian Mafia and several scandals I involving the then...

Might I add that the Bible is sufficient for any man to understand the true nature and character of the Father and His Son, which character catholicism has terribly wrong. That the Catholic Church for so long refused a knowledge of scripture to the common people, reserving to itself the sole...

You've never been angry with anyone unreasonably? Without good cause? Ever?

Huh?

Thank you ... and yes. I also gave serious consideration, and haven't entirely discounted it, that the strange goings on in the sporting world, especially the sudden recent demise of All Black rugby, was due to woke cancel culture. Maybe there is a hidden and not yet public dispute over the...

The world has gone mad. I just recently turned 70. I touched it briefly for the sake of claiming I had done it, and for the sake of celebration, and have decided to go backwards. In 40 years of so I would expect things to return to normal. The All Blacks will be at the top of the world again...

Considering that no-one on this thread agrees with anyone else on every issue, your statement above is absolutely correct. Everyone is wrong in some things, some moreso than others, some less so. But don't try taking the highest seat and calling yourself rabbi and making claims that you have...

That's interesting. Do you have a reference for that?

But such things are established by faith. If you don't believe you can overcome sin, then actually doing so, for you, becomes impossible doesn't it? Therefore you'll believe such a concept isn't true. We live by faith. Righteousness comes by faith. If we believe we have a sin nature, that God's...

The very first lesson a Christian must learn, a lesson essential to eternal life and righteous living, is that "without Me ye can do nothing".

"Do we still have a sin nature?" No, unless you believe you do. "Are we dead to the law?" Yes, unless you believe you are alive. "But I'm resurrected with Christ, so I must be alive". Then the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in you (Romans 8:4) by grace and the power of Christ's...
