    Why do we need priests?

    "The Apostles are the Apostles and are not considered to be the "Early Church Fathers." > Says who? THe RCC? How convienent, because they only want to see Peter, and therefore will fabricate it to be so, just so as to establish the progression to the first pope. So now you are speaking contrary...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    You quoted: Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went...

    Why do we need priests?

    When the apostles adressed the early churches as "little children", one should readily pick up on Who it was that was Speaking to them. In light of that, it is easy to call the apostles as being "the early church fathers", for it was the Holy Spirit who was speaking through them, to the early...

    Why do we need priests?

    Shall we say that the image of a father wasn't in all the Apostles, in their writings of instruction for the early churches? The Apostles often used the words "little children" , when addressing the early churches. Here, have a look at these references: Galatians 4:19 1 John 2:1-18 and28 1...

    Why do we need priests?

    My issue is, why do it in the first place, since in the early church, most people were biblically illiterate, not to mention that the scriptures weren't mass produced, until after the 1600s! It was quite apparent then, that the RCC was "lording over them" their the authority of religion that...

    Why do we need priests?

    Its easy to understand the term "the early fathers" of the beginning of the church age. It is by them that Christ's church was shown forth as a reality, being separate from the operations of the customs and traditions of Jewish Synagogues. However, its not that no one has "fathers" in the flesh...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    As for what happened to the OT Saints, who died in faith believing of the first appearance of Christ, they were sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise, on the Day of Pentecost. Please see KJV- Revelation 6:9-11 for the truth about them.

    Why do we need priests?

    Its not that Protestants have strayed, but rather Christ, who alone is the Head of His church, that made it to be so. HE raised up those He chose (M. Luther, J. Wesley, G. Whitefield, B. Graham etc.) for the work of keeping His people to be "free indeed" from the bondage of false doctrines, that...

    Why do we need priests?

    To most of what you say, I agree as it pertains to the body of Christ, His church. However, to this you said: "Nowhere in scripture does the common priesthood have the ministry of reconciliation.", I strongly disagree. I, as a born again Christian, as the like of others, do have the ability in...

    When is Judgment day ?

    God's judgment isn't going to be like a civil court room, with defending and prosecuting lawyers over the law (the Torah). The first judgment was DEATH through Adam, of which all are "appointed", with no escape. The second judgment IS LIFE through Jesus, of which all are invited, of which shall...

    When is Judgment day ?

    Ok..."it is the last day", as you say, but what is it that shall determine the last day? Here are some verses that make it clear: Luke 18:8 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Hebrews 11:6 Revelation 16:9-11

    When is Judgment day ?

    Now, getting back to the title of this thread, "When is Judgment Day?", the following scripture fully describes that one judgment for our death, did commence completely and utterly, in the day when A&E were restricted from partaking of "the Tree of Life". Since then, we all do surely die...

    When is Judgment day ?

    Prior to A&E's eyes being opened to the knowledge of both good and evil, they were closed to the knowledge of both good and evil. If you understand that, and agree with it, then the only other conclusion available, is that they were innocent. However, if somehow you think that A&E were created...

    When is Judgment day ?

    So then, to complete my thoughts as I had stated, the results of A&E's condition, prior to eating of that tree, was that their eyes were not opened to either EVIL OR GOOD, therefore they were innocent.

    *Earburner wrote: one must ask: "Did Adam and Eve KNOW that they were more good than God"? Taken replied: Nonsense question. Nothing indicates, that they were, or knew or thought they were. Earburner's reply: *Since you only wanted respond to part of what I wrote, you confined my reasoning...

    I would appreciate it if you would copy/paste the complete sentence of what I have written, and not copy/paste only part of it.

    Earburner wrote: Compare Genesis 2:16-17 with Genesis 3:7. What would it mean for Adam and Eve to have their eyes/perception closed?? "Taken" replied: "Lack of Understanding". "Earburner's" reply: Correct! Adam and Eve had NO understanding of what the knowledge of good and evil was, before...

    When is Judgment day ?

    Surely you must know that God was very pleased with the results of His creative work! Gen. 1[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. However, if you think that God was calling His Creation good, one must...
