    Why do we need priests?

    ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Are you saying that we can NEVER call ANYONE "good"? What is your point? Curious Mary

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Hi, Peter (and the other Apostles) were the final authority on what Christians were to believe after Jesus death. Do you not believe that Jesus gave them that authority? Curious Mary

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Thank you EG, Ok....lets go with your belief: The house of God is anyplace 2 or 3 people meet in the name of Jesus and he is with those 2 or 3 people when they meet. Three of my friends meet with me. We read Scripture and determine that one MUST be baptized to be saved and it MUST be done...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Hi Grateful, That is a good question. I would like to work thru this with you together. First off, I would suggest that we look back in Christian history to help us determine that. Would you agree that any church that started thru or after the Reformation (500 years or younger) can be...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    You don’t like context because it destroys Protestant beliefs. So I ask AGAIN: What house are they in brakelite? Timothy is a pastoral letter from Paul to Timothy. IN CONTEXt the passage is telling him that he hopes to be back shortly (VS14) He says since I am being delayed I am writing you...

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, You are right....it is not the same context. So why would you refer to Scripture out of context? To support your personal belief IMO. I see you are unable to provide any passage from Scripture to support what you believe so I will move on. Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, Thank you. Sounds like you are fulfilling part of Scripture. Why not fulfill ALL of Scripture and do what he told you to do to have life in you? How do you fulfill John 6:53-56? Or is your faith still stuck at John 6:52? Patient Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, Is your point that since all have sinned none of us can say we are good OR that we are not really good? Curious Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    I asked you if you have any bible verses to back up your belief. I don't see any. :(

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, He said it IS His body/blood. I believe him. Paul (the other Paul, not you ;)) re-affirmed it. I believe him. Not one word in Scripture says it was symbolic....only Protestants do use that word. Fact is Scripture says it IS His body and nothing else. How do YOU fulfill John 5:53...

    Why do we need priests?

    Since you said "Many are" (which means you know that many aren't) YOU must have some criteria you go by to determine that. What is the criteria for being a "Bible-believing Christian"? Curious Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    You may feel comfortable changing words in Scripture from This IS my body to This is a SYMBOL of my body....I don't feel comfortable doing that. Jesus claimed it....and he also said Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life AND "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    In context it is telling the church members how to behave in the house of God. What "house" are they in Brakelite? Curious Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    When someone says they do not believe that the bread/wine IS His body/blood like He and Paul said it is then that is a pretty good guage of lack of faith. He lacks the faith that the bread/wine turns into His body/blood. Paul did not lack that faith and he was writing to NT Christians in a...

    Why do we need priests?

    Good question. Does his faith "have to be be as strong as the disciples"? They were all in on their faith....I would hope that he would be "all in" also.

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, I did a search on biblegateway.com using the words "confess your sins". The only thing that came up about who we should confess our sins to is James 5:16. Scripture does not support what you believe. Jesus also gave the Apostles (men) the authority to forgive sins (John 20:23) Do...

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, When Jesus said This IS my body/blood and handed it to the Apostles do you think Jesus was telling a lie to them? What did He mean when he said Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you? I am the living bread that...

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Paul, Are not Protestants and Catholics "Bible believing Christians"?
