@devin553344 @amadeus And to anyone else here not in the best of health... May the Great Physician bring healing, wisdom, and understanding to your situation. Healing of both body and mind. Counsel for tomorrow, strength for today. May He do for you what you cannot do for yourself, may He...

And yet Jesus gave several lessons in which the idea of keeping watch for His coming was made prominent, with the idea that if you weren't watching, you would miss it. Like the Jews did the first time.

So for what purpose is eating flesh, when it is the spirit that gives life?

I would assume He is the same as He was when He ascended into heaven, KJV Acts 1:11 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven, And we will...

For further corroboration unless you believe the Catholic Church has changed...

Francis is not a fraud. He is exactly what he is meant to be. He is a Jesuit playing the role laid out for him according to the Jesuit agenda. Francis is doing exactly as he has been instructed. The plan is going forward.

Let everyone read this post above. Take careful note. Sadly, this is the heart and soul of catholicism. The core belief that A. She has the authority and power to declare to the world that 'truth' can only be determined by her, and none else. B. That anyone, in any state, must adhere to that...

No. Not by apistokic succession but through faithfulness to their calling. We are all called to be teachers, apostles, prophets, missionaries, shepherds of God's people, depending on the gifts God has distributed to His saints. But that calling is not automatic, not is it exclusive to just one...

What do you mean, "if the flesh profiteth nothing"???? Jesus Himself said, "the flesh profiteth nothing." That's a direct quote. KJV John 6:63 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life If you have a...

There's a worse teaching that Rome propagated, but was resisted for centuries by courageous Christians, even in Italy itself. Not understanding the nature of God, is common to everybody... Without exception... For who by studying can find out God? And as for the state of the dead, sure...

To get back to that primitive godliness and death to self will take a revolution. Not the kind of revolution a society expects or wants against this worlds rulers, but against the one ruling the heart of the individual Christian. We need to decide who is Lord.

Here's Jesus speaking to His children in the church of Ephesus... KJV Revelation 2:2-7 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: These are...

I wonder why that is? It's the same in NZ, and in the US. The so called Bible belt is conservative and predominantly rural, opposed to the more liberal cities in the north and the coasts. What makes rural folk generally more conservative than city folk who are more regressive and liberal? (I say...

The fallen angels have intimate knowledge of what is truth, and what isn't. Ain't gonna help them. So while Truth is essential, there necessitates a deeper experience.

A little protest in Rome perhaps, but much protest elsewhere. Only in those areas where Rome had jurisprudence, yet even on Rome's doorstep, there were 'heretics' (according to Rome) who were faityhful to scripture and sharing the gospel as best they could in the midst of Catholic persecutions...

And ironically it took another leader to expose the deception and hypocrisy of the false. That's the 3rd time that exact quote has come up in the last fortnight. I searched (knowing a part of the quote) for it and used it in a bible study last Wednesday week, the Pastor used it in his sermon...

I have seen it now and again in the past, but didn't think it essential that I know what it means, so ignored it. My life did not turn to custard as a result of my ignorance. I think scholars make up words like this in order to make their bosses believe their investment in these studies are more...

I feel it incumbent upon me after saying so much about everything else, to say something about truth.

Unconditional love motivated the gift, but the gift itself has conditions. The beauty of that though is that none of the conditions can be met under our own power. We can do nothing without God. That's why believing is just the beginning. Belief must turn into trust. That's real faith, without...
