    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    Where did I say that Protestants are true Christians? You are just contrasting two flavours from the same barrel. ALL religious institutions are governed by the devil. You must "COME OUT" of the world to be the actual "ECCLESIA" (called out ones) Total ignorance involves inventing a church...

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    Are you saying it is wrong to walk by the Spirit? There were no 3 levels of priesthood...just one. The high priest is the first among equals. The common populace were not priests. They did not serve in the temple. There is no higher priesthood on earth than to walk in holiness in the presence...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Mary is the mother of Jesus...not God. Jesus is fully God...from His Father...and fully human...from His mother. The invention is that somehow Mary is more than just a regular human! A cult of the female deity issues from this. All pagan religions have a female deity. Why should anything change?

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    As you no doubt know episkopos has to do with the visitation of God and being inspected by God. It can also mean overseer! The New Testament lies hidden in the Old Testament and the Old is revealed in the New." Exactly!! Through Christ we fulfill the law in the newness of the Spirit of life...

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    No bible verse about what Jesus said to Peter can be claimed by a sect so that they say...It is mine and not yours??? There is no Gentile nation that has the prerogative over what was given to a Jew. The irony is that the Jews were the people of God. But then religious sects of the Gentiles...

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    There is no primacy of any church in a given location! We covered that already. If there was a primacy it would be Jerusalem. But every church is connected directly to God. Christ is the only Head of the church in any sense we can see it. Peter is not the head of the church. Jesus Christ is...

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    Here you are arguing my point! Then what is with all the ranting about the primacy of Rome (a physical place)? What is that all about! I do know what I'm talking about or else I would have let you continue to distort the truth! Are you then standing up for the "mystical" Rome rather than an...

    Self Cast Out Self?!

    I agree with much of this! The difference is, as you say, concerning death. I think death means the separation of our old natures from ourselves. In the past we even identified with our old natures! But to come to Christ we need to be actually separated from what was once an integral part of us...

    You are not saved yet...not by a long shot!

    The ones who did not take the mark of the beast.

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    Anti Catholic? If you are not a Montreal Canadiens fan does that make you anti-Montreal! I just don't share your veneration for a human institution! Are you anti-discernment or anti-disciple? What's with all the earthly authority? Jesus Christ has all the authority we need. :) We need to rest...

    The Moral Law not Abrogated by Christ to Believers

    Then that's that! ;)

    Self Cast Out Self?!

    A new nature can't co-exist with an old nature!!! You can't live with 2 wives (or 2 husbands according to Paul). Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband...

    You are not saved yet...not by a long shot!

    Actually the saints rule with Christ...there is no testing for those who have been made to rule with Christ. The testing is for the mortals born during the millennium. We can walk in salvation right now through abiding in Christ. Otherwise we must endure to the end (of our lives) before we can...

    The Moral Law not Abrogated by Christ to Believers

    You may be confusing God's laws with the moralizing interpretations imposed on them by men... Amen!

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    Some big flaws here...that show an agenda. "The greatest and most ancient church??? Palleese! How could he miss Jerusalem...? an oversight? Or a calculated revisionism? It's superior origin??? Greater than Pentecost at Jerusalem? Greater than the first martyr Stephen? What is obvious about...

    Churches vs IRS: 501c non-profit status

    The real church is not a religious organization.
  17. Episkopos

    Can you serve God in a false religion?

    I don't know about actually serving God but you can be righteous and not a Christian. Of course I'm speaking of the Old Testament type of righteousness...not the eternal righteousness of Christ.

    My feelings about the Christians on this forum;

    The abode is for this time. Jesus doesn't say to abide in Him at some distant future. We cannot bear an eternal fruit unless we abide in Him today. The place Jesus has prepared for us is a place where we have fellowship with God in the light.

    Heavenly Hebrews

    Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. A better way has come that renders the old religion (Judaism) obsolete. Man is not made righteous through religious works of the law. Works of...

    Future Facts (Israel, the Bride, Millennium Kingdom)

    They cannot be all Jewish since Judah only has 12,000 numbered. Israel is distinct and cannot be said to be made up entirely of Jews. The bible always makes a distinction between the 2 houses of Israel.
