Hi Amadeus, It would be nice if all Christians would agree on which traditions from the Jesus and the Apostles we should keep. But we can not agree and therein lies a big part of the problem. You ask "which way should we go?". My Answer: I don't know of any tradition that effects our...

Hi, We are on the same pathway if you, like me, accept the teachings from the elders of your church as sound doctrine and if you believe your elders have the authority to decide who is to be treated as a pagan/tax collector (excommunicated from The Church) when a member of that church twitching...

Good morning EG, We are to listen to The Church because it KNOWS what "we think we already know" according to Matthew 18:17!

Thank you. I long for the day we will be brought together in His Truth. :rolleyes: You make an interesting point that "He hasn't revealed it (truth) all to us yet". Protestants on this forum point out that the Catholic Churches doctrine has evolved over time with some dogma not becoming...

Yes sir. I totally agree with you. Scripture makes it clear we 'need helpers provided to us by God'. You asked me the question: how can we move beyond childhood into mature perfected fitted part of the Body of Christ? My answer, or the answer from scripture to your question is that we move...

Thank you sir. I do not feel you are intruding. We are all part of the church (body of Christ) but we individually are not The Church spoken of in 1 Timothy 3:15 and Matthew 18:17. For you see The Church speaks with one voice, has sound (not false) doctrine and we all agree with one another...

Thank you for your heartfelt response. I appreciate it and I appreciate the work you do as a staff member. So I don't really see an answer to my question: How do YOU know if "none of the churches today have the truth in it's fullness" unless you know the truth? I also hope that His Church...

Hi EG, Ok....sooo your belief that The Church is a body. I do not understand what that means. I assume you mean that The Church is all Christians? Thank you for your patience.

And as long was we endour to the end, we will be saved: Matthew 24:13 Bible Study Mary

Ummmmm.......Scripture says that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth. I professed to you that I have found the Church that Scripture is speaking of and then I asked you what church you believe is the pillar and foundation of truth....you didn't answer.... and I am the one who...

Hello Heart2Soul, I have heard that same statement made by many Protestants. Your statement suggest that you know which doctrine each individual church teaches are false doctrines. The only way you could know what a false doctrine is by knowing the truth or what a true doctrine is. What...

Ummmm.....I asked you a question. Questions spur discussions soooooo obviously I am open for discussion. You didn't answer that question which, in effect, shuts down the discussion. Soooo who is really shutting down this discussion???;) Keeping it real...Mary

Hi Jane, You are right. Doing each one of those (warming a pew, rituals, reciting words) individually does not make one a Christian. Putting them all together is PART of being a Christian. The NT Christians went to Church. That is what most of the NT is about; letters written to individual...

:( Scripture says the church is the pillar and foundation of truth. If not my Church, which church is? I have identified The Church spoken of in scripture. Thank you for your time!

Hi EG, I totally agree and I have listened to everything you have said (written). I am even willing to change the view that I hold. The problem is you haven't given me a reason to change my view. Your opinion on the letters to Timothy is that all Scripture is given TO EACH INDIVIDUAL MAN by...

Hi Candidus, I have heard that term "Biblical Christianity" thrown around on this forum a whole lot but no one that preaches it agrees with what "it" is. Can you tell me what Christianity would look like today if we were all 'Biblical Christians'? (Would there be no church buildings? No...

Hi dodgeball......Historically, what books were considered Scripture? Patient Mary

Ok.....thank you. That is a lovely verse but has nothing to do with baptism.

Hi EG, I hope it's not the end of the discussion. Isn't that what forums like this are for; discussion?:rolleyes: 2 Timothy 3:16 is not up for interpretation because there is nothing to interpret. Paul tells TIMOTHY all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for...

That's not my interpretation kiddo. It is just a mere fact. You should put that passage (2 Timothy 3:16) into context instead of cherry picking passage to what fits your belief system. Verse 10 starts off giving instructions to TIMOTHY!! Not every living Christian. ONCE AGAIN: If your...
