Like I said, there is more than one reason why there are so many denominations but what I am pointing out is a religious literary style that was used in the biblical time period....and that style was also how they spoke the Gospel. Christ, Paul, Peter, and John all used this literary style were...

The topic is about what happened in the biblical era. The style of writing used in the New Testament.

I am all for blaming the boyz, but it does not really matter who picks up the Bible they can have trouble understanding. So the point is, that there is something missing. Something that we do not see people having just shortly after the biblical era. You do not see early Christian writers...ie...

That would be correct. You missed the point. I am not dealing with any topic. The discussion is about the religious literary style that was used in the New Testament. The style that Christ, Paul, John, and Peter used to address the topics. They each presented the "extremes" of each topic and...

Affection between parents and offspring is perfectly fine...but still the customs are different here and there.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Now if you find yourself “liking” some of these scriptures but not the others, if you find the need to explain away some of these scriptures…you are in...

1st Peter 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 2nd Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient...

Why are there so many…opinions…. arguments….debates….about what the scriptures mean? Why are there over 30,000 registered Protestant denominations? I am sure some know that there are several “Catholic type” religions around the world. And then there are the non-denominational churches that...

LOL There is nothing that Christ and the Apostles told us to do, that falls under the category of "works" not even Good Deeds. It is an old concern that occurred with the Protestant reformation. see post 185

I agree

We have already talked about the woman caught in adultery and far as the Para---"sins of the father?"

Any thing you would like to reference in the Gospels? Yes and no....Christ was moving forward with much more superior morals that were not represented in the Mosaic Law. In a couple situations He explained that the Mosaic Law was flat out wrong.

There is a literary style that is of this time period that most cannot grasp. I say most because it is has been 2000 years and it has caused most of the confusion that resulted in all of these denominations. I am working on a presentation for that. But the simplest, concept is that salvation...

This is a period that as far as salvation goes, you can say it is a transitional period. Professors are going to say a lot about this. It is actually a pretty deep topic. It appears neither the woman caught in adultery or the prostitute washing his feet asked for forgiveness. John is perform...

Christ did-does not have a tolerance to sin, so the "I never knew you" statement is in line with 1st John 3:5 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. And 1st John 3:9-10 No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he...

Christ's judgment on those who make sin a career.

It is not a common custom in the states but over seas and in the middle east men kiss on the cheeks and hug as a greeting. Kissing on mouth...less common.

No they looked like scum. Not that I would expect people to clean up and dress up to sit in pot line. Now that would be awful! See one of your kids in a pot line.
