Nice try. Now read verse 27. "behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.... Here is a man of...

Any concept that denies Genesis. Dust plus Spirit=living soul.

How can a church be a "true church' and at the same time meet all the criteria as Antichrist?

You aren't serious surely. You believe that because I think the old man dies in Christ, meaning as the scripture says, "buried with Him by baptism in death"...that by applying that to the old man, is merely a personal interpretation and not in keeping with what scripture says? If it isn't the...

There would be depths to anything Jesus says that would differ from person to person. What it means to and for me is that in order for me to live with the true Master, my greatest battle is against self. His saying may mean something else for you.

KJV 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

I am well aware of their apostasy and venture to suggest their current sojourn as a nation as a people who are no longer the privileged caretakers of the oracles of God is permanent. Their house is no longer God's house, it has been left to them desolate and will remain so. Any attempts to...

Even the Ten Commandments are promises. They must necessarily be so, because God knows we have no power. In the words of one author: All that God requires is what He gives. When He says, 'Thou shalt not', we may take it as His assurance that if we believe Him He will preserve us from the sin...

Not so. Baptism doesn't kill us...we don't drown in baptism. We are only buried in baptism. We need to be dead before being buried. We can "die" weeks before baptism. We can be born again before baptism, but baptism seals the deal through our obedience and willingness to publicly declare our...

I'll answer the last question first. Is the new Covenant better than the old? Absolutely. And here's why. Covenants and testaments are based on promises and agreements between two or more parties, and the covenant is predicated on the faithfulness and relational integrity of each party. Should...

You don't seem to understand who either of them are. Jesus was the person through whom the Father spoke to Israel. Throughout all the OT. Jesus was the pre-incarnate Son of the OT GOD of Israel. It was Jesus who spoke to Moses on Sinai and commanded Moses to write them down. When Jesus became...

Atheistic communism was a direct result of the French revolution which itself was a revolution against Catholic tyranny and the priestly class of despotic self serving narcissistic gluttonous hypocrites that tore the heart and soul from French society. They only remedy the populous could see was...

I think we could advance this a step further by stating the necessity to overcome appetite. I mean appetite in the sense of lust. Jesus was tempted in the wilderness all three times in relation to appetite. The fruit of the spirit named as temperance is the victory over appetite, indulgence, or...

Having me on "ignore" won't help you. But I could name several church heads that did tremendous work for the gospel without any affiliation to Rome. Lucian. Patrick. Aiden. Dinooth. Papas. Vigilantus. Columba. Columbanus. Alba.

I'm not sure who you are addressing here. If it's me I think you misunderstand what I'm saying...I suggest you read my post a little more carefully. Now particularly this part...

What Paul declared was an essential daily exercise... To die... Could not possibly be physical for obvious reasons. And it can't be spiritual either because we have no power. Thus it can only mean surrender. Similar to the death we submit ourselves to in baptism. A voluntary submission on our...

An additional thought. The ignorance of that history... The denial of the Catholic Church's continuing dogmatic defense of papal supremacy and infallibility... The denial of the clear identification of the Catholic Church as the Antichrist of scripture... The delusion that a leopard can change...

I believe that concept originated with Plato or Aristotle... Or maybe both, I can't remember. But whoever, it is rooted in greek philosophy and I don't think it has a place in Christian theology... Except for something to avoid.

I get the music thing. Just now and again I'll listen to some good ole passionate southern rock from groups like Blackfeet or Lynyrd Skynyrd. But I will never pretend any of it is Christian... And I don't listen to Christian rock. Anachronism. I listen to southern rock when I'm in the mood for...

May I remind everyone of this quote from @theefaith . If there was any attitude that is quintessentially Catholic, and reflected by the Catholic contributors to numerous threads, it is the above arrogant intransigent belligerence against anything not in keeping with Catholic dogma the same of...
