You are truly confusing me. You take the name Episkopos (Bishop) which is an overseer or teacher and you admit you are such with the people you gather with during your meetings. But teacher or overseer (Bishop) is not your title, it is just your function. Does it matter to you that Scripture...

Did you know that most of the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament are found in the Syriac version? Does that mean you now accept the Deuterocanonical? Curious Mary

Hi Nancy. What are we to make of these bible verses? 2 Thessalonians 2:15 1 Corinthians 11:2 James 5:16 John 20:23 Mary

Or, is it possible, that the implication of that verse could be that they shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power? Curious Mary

If two "local church governments" disagree with an interpretation of Scripture, which one has authority? Do the Epistles answer that question? Mary

No Enoch, I can't see how and why the Deuterocanonical were automatically excluded. Jesus said He must fulfill what was written in those books....He says NOTHING about excludeing the Deuterocanonical. How can you equate the two? During the first century the Jews disagreed as to what...

Sooooo you function as a teacher but that is not your title? Soooo you function is as an "overseer" or teacher because Scripture does not talk about "special titles"? What are we to do with Acts 13:1, 1 Cor 12:28-29 and Eph 4:11 to name a few??? Those verses don't mention "special titles"...

Hi Enoch, Where in Luke and Acts does it say WHO wrote them? I can't find it. Curious Mary

Thank you Enoch. Where does scripture say that "Jesus limited "the Scriptures" to the 24 books of the Hebrew Tanakh"? You do know that there was no common canon among the Jews at the time of Christ? The Samaritans and Sadducees accepted the law but rejected the prophets and writings. The...

Thank you. The question is WHO wrote it? Was it an Apostle? WHO recognized it as the valid, Spirit-inspired account of the Apostolic transitional period? Mary

Thank you farouk. Who wrote Luke and Acts? Mary

Hi, If you don't accept tradition then how can you "follow apostolic tradition"? What I am confused by is how you can say you are an "overseer" in your fellowship but you reject organized religion and have no need for titles. However, you have taken the title of a church leader. I am confused...

Thank you. 1. Where in scripture did Jesus say he was excluding the Deuterocanonical books? Can you explain your statement? That statement is confusing. 2. I assume your referring to 2 Peter 3:16? 3. Since Matthew, Mark, Acts, James and Jude DON'T claim inspiration, how did they end up as one...

Fascinating....I have always read that it was a gift from the people of France and was paid for by French citizens. The pedestal was allegedly paid for by Americans through a fund-raising drive organized by a newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer. From where did you get your information...

Hi Enoch. I can't find where "We have gone over this before...". Can you please reference the post # that WE have been over this before? I can't find it in a search. Thank you in advance. Mary

@BreadOfLife is an "emotionally unstable sociopathic individual who lacks self control"????? I find it FASCINATING that you are able to make that diagnosis by reading peoples words? From which University did you get your degree to diagnose him without even meeting him? You truly have a gift. ;)...

Got it....You have no Scripture to back up your statements OR refute mine. You never used scripture to back up your claim so therefore, using your own logic, Scripture never says what you claim either. ;) Best wishes...Mary

If you can't think of one Tradition that you accept then how can you state that you "follow apostolic tradition"? Maybe you miss-spoke? Here are two traditions you follow: According to tradition Luke wrote Luke and Acts (Scripture doesn't say who wrote it). According to tradition you have...

Hi, I can't find an answer to my question: Which traditions do you accept that are not in Scripture? (2nd try) (I know of at least two traditions that you and I agree on) Patient Mary

Hi, I used scripture to destroy your theory. I showed how AT NO POINT during the last supper at the lords table did Jesus talk about his resurrection. Using scripture, instead of your own theory, show me how the Lords Table has ANYTHING to do with his resurrection. Patient Mary PS...If you...
