The early church was overthrown through persecution. Those who replaced the saints were clerics (stooges) of the ruling powers. Corruption entered as the gospel was subverted. Men turned aside to religion and the control of the masses. ;) There is neither a separate priesthood nor clergy in the...

A disciple IS a mediator of the covenant between God and UNREGENERATE man. If you admit that Catholics are unregenerate then I will agree with you.

Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Most (even true) Christians experience the first but are entirely ignorant of the way in Christ that is meant to follow. This is the sign of the times where the middle class...

You do that by submitting to the authority of the Catholic Church to whom Jesus gave his authority. There is no mediator between man and Christ. 1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God...

.. ...and hate what He hates!

John 1:29 29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus has come in the flesh...not to cover sins but take them away...remove them. The Greek word Airo is used to describe what Jesus does with sins.... Other...

While Jesus Christ is the source of the fruit...this fruit is produced in us and through us. This fruit is exhibited in a holy life.

Amen! One must literally look internationally to find enough consecrated disciples to "fill one church". It is not for nothing that Jesus said "where 2 or 3 are gathered"...this is a high concentration of actual "living sacrifices" in any one region.

Very good! So we see the rightness of Christ's command to forsake all.....our wives, our families and even our own lives. All must be forfeit in order to grow into Christ. Trusting God in ALL things! Only faith working by love can do this.

Hi D. Let me ask you this... Why did God destroy the world (save for those in the ark) in the great flood? Why did God wish to save Noah?

The Jews claimed a better lineage than that...a family lineage! Did that help them? The only real connection we have with the apostles and even Jesus Himself is the Holy Spirit. If you are not led by the Spirit you are going to oblivion. If Christ is not living in you then you are a reprobate.

The apostle's doctrine is found in Acts, Romans, 1st and 2nd Corinthians.....etc

Actually here are the 4 marks of the true church... Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Following religious clerics who wear nice garments is not the same as walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. The...

Was God also under the Mosaic law??? I think you are a closet dispensationalist at times D. I will have to only cite scriptures BEFORE Moses so that you don't jump to the same conclusion all the time. You fail to understand that God's ways have never changed. Of course....but you are looking...

There is only one Mediator between God and men...Jesus Christ. I am an ex-catholic in that I was raised Catholic...but in ignorance of God like 99.9 % of Catholics. Can you say Tradition!!!! The Lord called me to repentance and baptism in the Spirit in the solitude of my apartment. The RC's...

A God-fearer was was a class below proselyte. Someone like the centurion would be seen as a God-fearer. Many of the new disciples were drawn from Gentile God fearers in the synagogues. This of course enraged the Jews. Luk 7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was...

You understand neither the righteousness of God nor men. Do you think the publican who went to his house justified before God also was holy, sanctified and glorified???

Haz, you don't know the scriptures to ask this. Eze 18:27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Eze 18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions...

No ....there is no longer a difference between Jews and Gentiles...the temple holiness has been abolished with the coming of Messiah and true holiness. I was speaking from the Jewish point of view. Correct! They did have a catagory of Gentile God-fearers....who would be seen as righteous but...

This is way off...the thief on the cross was barely saved...by the skin of his teeth. He turned at the last possible moment to do what was right and was accounted righteous for it...certainly not holy!!!!
