Dear sir, It seems your answer is that the ability to decide for all Christians what is good to the Holy Spirit DID NOT end with the Apostles? Jesus gave the Apostles the authority to bind and loosen. Did that authority die with the last Apostle or did the Apostles pass it on to the other men...

When you say people I assume you are speaking of the men who wrote scripture. Since God "breathed" the truth (scripture) to these men is it not possible that he has revealed the truth of that scripture to us? Or did God say....here's the truth (scripture), now figure it out...... And BTW when...

Scripture is the Absolute Truth. Scripture was given to us via man. God has allowed man, via The Church, to reveal that absolute truth. What man binds on earth is bound in HEAVEN. Are you suggesting God gave us absolute truth (scripture) but is not allowing us to know that truth for thousands...

Relativism is not compatible with the truth of scripture. Relativism leads to the theory that, “It is absolutely true there is no absolute truth. Truth is based on my circumstances, experiences and culture." IHS...Mary

Hi, So the "evidence" that God has spoken truth to us is in the heart of the person who received it? If my heart tells me I received The Truth from God and that you are wrong.....does that automatically make you wrong since I know it from my heart? How do we determine who has received the...

Hi Amadeus, "A community of believers consisting of the ones so elected by God" could be ANY church "listed in the yellow pages in any city". The Catholics, Baptist, Methodist, Joes Christian Church on main street in any town USA and 5 people meeting in my basement fits your non-specific...

Hi, When God gives absolute truth, like he has given to us in scripture, how do we know it is from Him? Mary

Is faith the name of the person that wrote it down? ;) Seriously....Who did God breath it into? Who put it on paper? Mary

Hi, There is no need for it to be another subject. Just a quick answer from you would suffice. I believe you know which church I have chosen: Which have you chosen? You have left me with the impression that you believe each person can have their own interpretation of scripture and be right...

HI Oz, In Acts 15 it is written "It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us....". Did that abilbity to decide what seems good to the Holy Spirit end when the last Apostle died? Matthew 18 says whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed...

Hi, If all men (and us women of course) are fallible then how did we get infallible scripture? Mary

Why is your truth different than my truth since we both have access to Him? Many men have claimed to know The Truth. All of those men have claimed to be guided by Jesus and or the Holy Spirit. So why do all those men who all claim to have The Truth disagree with each other??? Your theory is...

Dear friend, If I decide which ones are black and white and I do not consult with the church that makes me a church of one. The Church is to decide if my brother sinned against me or not....not me (Matthew 18:17). According to your theory when you tell your brother he has sinned against you...

It isn't necessary. As you can see I attempted to clarify what he meant by referencing the Torah. OzSpen the began to question me. He has me confused. Dear sir, I try to never assume what someone else means when they make an open ended comment. FYI....Historically we know that different sects...

Dear sir, I am simply asking you what you meant by the statement you made to Kepha: Haven't you heard of the Old Testament that was available when James was writing? This has nothing to do with which Torah my understanding is applied. It has to do with YOUR STATEMENT. I, Marymog, have not...

What do you think he meant by leaving everything?

Dear sir, At no point in Matthew 19 does Jesus speak of anything other than material items. Is there a passage in scripture that supports your statement/theory? Curious Mary

Hi FHII, Peter responded to Jesus by saying, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” Peter and the other Apostles left their families, homes, jobs etc. What do you think he meant by leaving everything? I don't understand why you are bringing a totally...

Dear sir, You are completely and utterly wrong my friend. That passage from scripture is black and white however I will agree with you that SOME scripture is not black and white. At no point in that passage does Jesus speak of anything other than material items. He does not infer, imply...

Who decides absolute truth?
