I read somewhere that the church met on the first day...saturday evening with the Jewish believers. Then, the next morning the church would come back together in order to break bread. So there were 2 meetings. Over time, the saturday meeting was eliminated in favour of just the sunday morning...

I think that gut reactions should be used only to determine whether WE should participate in a certain thing...rather than judge it wrong for everyone. Who are we to judge the deeper issues on our own? A person who is on the wrong track might get a "bad taste" about something that is actually...

There is a difference from learning doctrines....and learning doctrine. It's all about perception. :rolleyes:

A daily basis and even moment by moment. Amen! We need never speak our own words or do our own deeds again.

The error of Balaam?

Though this outward world is perishing there is a vast and glorious kingdom waiting in the wings... to be continued. :) <><

Jesus said that an evil and adulterous generation seeks signs and wonders. What we are to seek for is His life and presence. When we see a miracle from God...do we covet the power itself or the life that brings the power? This can be the difference between a wizard and one who walks in the...

Jesus promised that He would not leave us orphans...that He would send the Parakletos....the Comforter (He who comes to one's side). That means we need never be away from God's presence. The truth is that we can bask in His presence always. This is the unspeakable gift. There are different...

We will pray for you both....<><

Grace is the "power of God us-ward who believe." It is the power to walk as Jesus walked.

Here is an excerpt from the epistle to Diagnetus...an ancient letter written about Christians which could be an apologetic or a kind of propaganda (if one was say...pessimistic). But it shows how Christians were once seen to be...and ought to be really. Christians are not distinguished from...

If we have a recovering alcoholic with us....grape juice. Otherwise wine! :) I mean, wine not?

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the LORD Jesus Christ, What is meant that our citizenship is from heaven? When a person is born in a certain country, that person can be said to belong to that country....the land of our birth. If a...

We all go through times and seasons. But it all boils down to what we are learning about God. Can God be trusted? Does He want to let us walk with Him? We are all being tried to see if we will have faith. Faith is a funny thing. You can look to God for many things and then forget that He is...

I didn't post the whole chapter that refutes your conclusions since I thought you knew the bible better than this... Read James 2

Just for the Halibut?

You don't see this, of course. But James relied on the followers of Christ in his day to see this... James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. You need to go back to the bible again....and readjust your interpretations. There is a balance to the word that...

Have we considered the prophetic question..."who can make war with the beast?" With todays' drones and push button warfare...coupled with an unbridled nationalism and pride in military power...who is to say that the so called democratic USA is not really working for a power it has no idea about...

Amen. There seems to be a tendency towards an unbalanced view of things...as in...there is only a danger of DOING that which is lawful and right to be seen as trying to save oneself as opposed to humbly doing what is according to one's conscience. But an ignoring of the other extreme way of...

I have this theory which I call..."the mule theory"...and that is that God allows people to have bibles and to get it wrong and promote lies about it...but still to preserve the bible itself so that it can be passed on (carried) to others who will understand it. If only the people who understood...
