Gian Domenico Mansi was an Italian prelate, theologian, scholar and historian, known for his massive works on the Church councils. In his work Sacrorum Conciliorum Nova et Amplissima Collectio, vol. 23, p. 73. You may read the following... “He went to Rome to have [ecclesiastical] orders given...

@justbyfaith So, in order to establish a relationship with man that is not lackadaisical and unwise, you think we should be afraid of Him. Sorry, no, I'm not sorry, because you need to hear this. That makes no sense. Give me one example from your own life where a relationship was established on...

So a temporary revival was created on the back of a sermon or series of sermons depicting God as angry, vengeful, vindictive, searching for sinners to punish, and characterising God as stern and unapproachable... Similar to the God portrayed throughout the dark ages as a God who delights in...

Watching that video reminded me of an incident when I was surfing alone off the West coast of new Zealand 45 years ago. Alone in the water, the swell a reasonable size but inconsistent. I was waiting out behind the break line sitting on my board minding my own business, a beautiful fine day...

Does anyone other than myself find it curious that we have so many discussions over the years as to the total inefficacy or impotence of the law to save anyone, a dictum with which none disagree, and a concept that none suggests as a valid means by which to again salvation? Yet here we are...

None more so than in Rome itself. As for Patrick, the Papacy didn't know what to do with him until after he was long gone. By inventing stories and myths and legends in ordrr to create a connection to Rome, finally decided to call him a saint while persecuting then destroying the church he...

I belonged to one forum many years ago that had a very good spread of members much like this one from all over the world. I lived at the time in a small town in rural New Zealand. The forum though well run and interesting, was wound up because the owner and sole moderator had other plans for his...

Traffic can be hell. Distractions, speeding, intolerance, abuse, rudeness…and much more can make traveling from one place to another a nightmare. It can be frustrating, dangerous, confusing, fraught with near misses and worse, at times one can get lost, even never reaching the intended...

I actually edited my first draft of that post but it doesn't seem to have come through. I mentioned that those churches which grew from the bones of that house to house raw product were mission oriented churches that spread throughout the known world... But, and this is a significant but, those...

So, it's a rare event indeed that I place a "like" at the bottom of a post from BoL. While I am totally dismissive of the conclusions he would draw in that early embryo growing into what we witness today in Rome (oak tree? No, more like an overgrown blackberry bush) however, I agree with the...

Everyone needs to consider this in all seriousness. At the moment the entire planet to all intents and purposes has rolled over with their paws pointing to the clouds and their tails between their legs in total submission to their governments. The Perceived Threat of This Coronavirus Fraud Has...

By the way. I'm not against pleasure. God designed us to be receivers of pleasure. KJV Psalms 16 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. I do also enjoy Hillsong music. At its best it can be beautiful... As...

What self imposed restrictions have you placed upon your search? How far out of your current comfort zone are you willing to step? Are you sure that the holy Spirit isn't operating just as powerful in churches you haven't investigated, bit without the "song and dance" hoopla? I've experienced...

And here is where we would disagree. Can you quote scripture for that conclusion?

I don't know. None thought his father was shameful in those days. Obviously wholly acceptable. Today they may not be. Today we have other issues to deal with. The devil doesn't stand still to put stumbling blocks and confusion in the way of Gods people , and the circles of Pentecostalism seem to...

,'groan,.'... Here we go... If he's struggling, he's going to be alright. But @Not me didn't say the dude was struggling. He said he had hardened his heart... In other words he was resisting the reasons of the Spirit to repent... He was preferring there state of rebellion than the state of...

Yep. He was a big wig in those days. Had the reputation and status of Oral Roberts and such... At least in NZ.

Won't argue with that... I'm one who has serious doubts whether the isolation was necessary at all.

Brian Houston'd farher, Frank, came out of the AOG jn Auckland New Zealand. My brother in law in the 70s attended many of his meetings which were very popular. But what they were doing and teaching in those days were ridiculous. Like having people seated in rows on stage spitting demons into...

Ummm, don't know about that, but was thinking that I had better take my wife out before I take the golf clubs out.
