Hi Pearl, I accept that linguistically "brothers" could be cousins or half brothers (children of Joseph). I accept that some of those "brothers" have been accounted for in Scripture to have a mother other than Mary. I accept that the earliest historical Christian writings suggest that to be...

Thanks Behold. Based you your response it seems you don't believe that Scripture contains clear instructions for Christians and the clear cut truth. Since you posted 2 possibilities or "legit" ways to look at this matter that means Scripture is not clear. Since you posted 2 possibilities or...

Hi Pearl, Those of us that adhere to the perpetual virginity doctrine believe that Mary was in effect the spouse of God due to her bearing His child. She would not, for a lack of better words, "cheat" on God with Joseph. The womb that God came out of is Holy and would not be defiled by another...

Hi Behold, You mentioned "context" and I agree with you; we should look at all of this matter in context, not cherry picked passages. It is true, the other Apostles were also given the authority to bind and loosen in Matthew 18. However you left out Matthew 16:19 which is in context to this...

Soooooo are you going to at least TRY to answer my questions??? Or do my questions reveal the fallacy of your beliefs that is why you can't answer them? Partially quoting Scripture is not an answer. Paul calls virginity (abstaining from sex) a "gift from God". Do you believe that God would...

Hi B5, Of the Ten Commandments the Sabbath commandment is the only ceremonial commandment. The other 9 are moral commandments. A ceremonial rule (commandment) can be changed; a moral rule (commandment) can not be changed! You can hold a ceremony on any day. Jesus never commanded Christians to...

Hi trollman, What does your moniker say about you?

Hi ReChoired, Soooo when God interprets Scripture thru you and he as granted you "understanding in all His word" whose mouth does that interpretation come out of? Or in our current form of communication whose fingers type those interpretations onto the computer keyboard? When those words come...

Hi Backlit, Who decides which group has met the criteria you just put forth? Is there like a panel of bible experts who review each group to make that decision? The panel decides which group has kept his commandments? Which group has the testimony of Christ? Which group is made up of faithful...

Hey Backlit, Interesting list of if's. If you were right about all those if's that would be One (John 17:10–11) powerful Church with authority to decide who is right and who is wrong and who can be shunned by The Church (Matthew 18:17, Titus 3:10, Romans 16:17). A Church that gave man the...

thank you. Yes, I do.

Thank you. My thoughts are that Revelation has to do with pagan Rome not Christian Rome.

Jesse Duplantis and Kenneth Copeland seem to be doing quit well with their private jets, million dollar churches and million dollar homes even though between the two of them they don't have that many followers. What do you make of that? Curious Mary

Hi H2Soul, Scripture has several things to say about the anti-Christ. Here is a sampling: 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3, 1 John 2:18, 2 John 1:7 Do you believe there are any religious cults that are active today that fit those definitions from Scripture? If so, could you name them? Bible study Mary

Hi Ziggy, God has certainly blessed His Church with the financial resources to help those in need. Mary

Hi H2Soul, Is it possible that the City that sits on 7 mountains was pagan Rome? Mary

Hmmmm.....so Ellen White got it right (look, I rhymed) but the men of the Catholic Church and any Protestant that disagrees with her got it wrong??? F A S C I N A T I N G!!!!

Hi Backlit, You seemed to be confused by my statement; Ok.....I looked it up. The text of Genesis states that God blessed and hallowed the seventh day, not the Sabbath. Here is what Scripture says in Genesis 2: “And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on...

Why did you SHH? Do you not think that my church is The Church established by Christ? I already know you don't sooooooo that means you must KNOW what Church is The Church that was started by Christ. Which one is it Backlit? Patient Mary

OK WS...lets put your theory into practice and make this very simple: 1 billion Christians read Scripture and interpret from what they read how to properly and faithfully "follow the teachings of Jesus Christ". 1 billion different Christians read Scripture and interpret from what they read how...
