    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    If my assumption that you have been involved previously in conversations on this topic was wrong, then I apologize. There have been so many conversations and debates on this, I thought everyone had at one time or another, been involved. I'm sorry for my presumptive remarks. In a genuine answer...

    Does the Bible teach the need for an initimate personal relationship with Christ?

    In Exodus, the Lord called upon Moses to "build me a tabernacle" that I may dwell with My people. The sanctuary and its services and sacrifices were for the purpose of dealing with the sin problem, that God and His people may dwell together in harmony and healing. This presupposes relationship...

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    Because you likely already know the answer. This topic comes up often on forums. Your question has been asked numerous times, and answered. I doubt you have missed that. I believe you have seen those answers, but persist with the same inane question... Inane because you choose to deny the...

    KJV Acts 2:22-36 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have...

    The Reformers Biggest Mistake and Christianity's Need to Change it

    The church does have authority to teach truth, even an obligation. But the moment it teaches error, it is no longer obeying Christ, but in rebellion. Your church stopped teaching truth 1800 years ago. And the errors your church taught grew progressively worse down through the centuries... And...

    The Reformers Biggest Mistake and Christianity's Need to Change it

    Yes, Christ did establish a church. Absolutely. To an outsider, what were the characteristics of that church? How was a non Christian to identify the true church? What does the bible say? There were many churches in the first century in many cities across several continents. From Britain to...

    He would be in good company. The writers of the NT declared that 'the patriarch David' actually was still sleeping in the grave awaiting the resurrection.

    The Reformers Biggest Mistake and Christianity's Need to Change it

    Why should I take any notice whatsoever of a Pope's denunciation of Luther and your imagined charges of occult connections considering a previous pope excommunicated the archbishop of Constantinople for simply observing Passover according to scripture rather than an occult day dedicated to Ishtar?

    Does the Bible teach the need for an initimate personal relationship with Christ?

    KJV John 17:3 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. KJV 1 John 2:3-4 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the...

    The very fact that there is a class within Catholicism designated as 'priests', and therefore qualified/appointed to offer sacrifice, (in direct blasphemous denial of the one sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour) is blasphemy, and calling that same one father identifies you as partaking of the same...

    The Reformers Biggest Mistake and Christianity's Need to Change it

    And yet Protestantism continues to embrace and cleave to many of those same errors. Errors and traditions that have wracked the church and cost millions their lives, for nearly 2000 years.

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    The belief that Jesus and Michael are one and the same, may not be taught explicitly in scripture, but it is certainly taught implicitly. And it hurts not the reputation of either. There is more evidence for, than against. And there are within Christianity blatant and downright ugly...

    The Reformers Biggest Mistake and Christianity's Need to Change it

    @theefaith Any Christian with a modicum of reading ability, who does not hold a preconceived bias or prejudice against Protestantism, may read the life of Martin Luther and understand that while Luther himself had some way to go before maturing to a sound Christian character, what he taught...

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    @Paul Christensen @Eternally Grateful Since when did obedience become an optional extra when one becomes a Christian? Seriously. What is so wrong as simply doing as you're told because God asked? Why does it always have to be reasoned away? "Oh, the Sabbath wasn't for Christians". " You can't...

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    Not until we are glorified, will we be free from the battle against the carnal nature. But can we stop sinning? What sin in particular do you think you can't stop? About Paul... Paul in his saved born again state was still a slave to sin??? See Romans 6:15-23 The saved born again Paul...

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    The Sabbath was indeed a sign to Israel. As scripture says, a sign of God's deliverance from Egypt/slavery/sin, and a sign that their sanctification was solely in the hands of God. Yet Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for mankind. KJV Mark 2:27 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was...

    I disagree with each one of the above authors, and you. Notwithstanding their collective reputation. And as it is extremely likely that other authors with equally impressive credentials have been brought to your attention on previous occasions who had opposite points of view to the ones you've...

    I'm Pretty Sure That Jesus Wasn't Talking About This

    Okay. I do get where you are coming from. And I have half way considered this myself in the past, and can go along with your perspective to a point. But I would like you to consider something. In Revelation we are told of a marriage supper. In several parables Jesus speaks of wedding feasts...

    Is the Catholic Church Today Part of Jesus' Body?

    Jacob only listed 7 points. Only 7. Yet not one of them did you attempt to actually address. Are you also a Jesuit?
