Ummmmm.......a bit confusing you are. Previously you said I was told by someone else, just like you were, and we each chose to believe the conclusions others came up with. Now it seems you are saying you used to rely on others interpretations. But since you “began searching beyond the...

Good point. I have never had an original interpretation of Scripture. After 2,000 years of the bible being interpreted it is impossible to come up with a new interpretation of a passage.

Hi, Where is your evidence that these Satanic rituals are done not only in the Vatican but in other churches? What does the ritual consist of? Curious Mary

Thank you. I am not seeing what you are seeing in the parable.

Hi Willie, Are you suggesting that all of us have “dream(ed) this stuff up”? Our interpretations of that parable are not plausible? At least that is what i have taken away from you statement.

Soooooo we are not really being taught by those that have been with Jesus. We are being taught by men who has their interpretation of what was taught by those that have been with Jesus. At first I thought maybe you were promoting Apostolic Succession......now I see you are not.

Thank you. I ask because I find it fascinating when people make these claims. As you can probably understand most people, including myself, are skeptical about people who make these claims. What I am most curious about is how do you know what dream interpretations you should reveal to...

I’m sorry......I do not see the connection.

Hi Willie, It seems that it is already a “confused mess” since I have read several different interpretations of that parable on this forum and from ‘Bible experts’ online. :) I hold the belief (in general) that in the parable Lazarus was rewarded for his virtuous acceptance of poverty. The...

Just to be clear: Are you suggesting or of the belief that ONLY the CC is practicing child sacrifice? Mary

Hi, Your "interpretation" of the dream is very interesting. How long have you had the gift of interpreting dreams? Do you think it is a gift from God? Curious Mary

Ummmm......Ok. So you don't think it is a parable. You think it really happened?

It is the only one of Jesus’ parables that involves a named figure–Lazarus. In the course of the parable it is proposed that Lazarus come back from the dead of which the historical Lazarus actually did. Luke knows the Bethany family to which Lazarus belonged as he mentions Mary and Martha...

Hi, In context that passage from Revelation has to do with Babylon sooooo I don't see it fitting at all with the rich man and Lazarus parable. Please explain....I must be missing something.

Yup...Kinda does. Why would Jesus put the life of Job in a parable when the story of Job was already known to the Jews at that time? Why not just talk about Job and use his name in the parable? (which then wouldn't be a parable) Curious

Hello, No, they are not one in the same. In the parable Lazarus was rewarded for his virtuous acceptance of poverty. The rich man was punished for his vicious neglect of the opportunities given him by his wealth. Bible study Mary

Hi Marksman, Interesting post. I think I get the gist of what you are saying.....:cool: I am confused about the above point. Maybe you can clarify? How can we today, 2000 years later, be taught by those that have been with Jesus since they are all dead? Mary

Soooooo let me see if I have got your theory correct. If one claims that they have been guided by God to the Truth they are in the wrong mindset? But if they are more like Roger Williams they are probably guided by The Spirit? That is how understand your post.... Did Williams never claim to...

Hi Brakelite2, Hmmmmm......So the further one is away from the Catholic “mindset” the more right or truth they have? Can you name a Protestant church leader that got far enough away from the Catholic mindset/teaching that FINALLY came to the truth of Scripture? After all the men of The...

Completly false statement. @BreadOfLife nor I nor have said that and The Church does not teach that. One can easily find post from BOL that say opposite of that. Would you care to re-tract your false statement? Mary
