Hi GG, I agree with you that Augustine's predestination teachings were not scriptural. The Catholic Church agrees with you also. As far as infant baptism scripture says entire households were baptized. Is it not logical to believe that infants were part of those households? In scripture...

Hi, Abortion a personal issue? I guess that means if I steal from you, assault you, have an affair with your spouse, lie about you that would be a personal issue also? If the church is, as you say, "His people" then we have billions of different churches on this earth since there are billions...

Thank you GG....:)

Thank you Butterfly. In an effort to put this discussion in context amadeus said: If two people receive the same message from the scripture I quoted there would be no difference between. If they don't it won't. The final authority whether one or the other or neither is right belongs to God...

Thank you GG. Natural law is different than "rules" in the Kingdom of God. I assumed you knew the rules since you said, "If two are living in the Kingdom of God here, then they should follow those rules." I am well versed in the history of the abuses of ALL the churches (denominations) so I...

Dear Sir, Your statement makes absolutely ZERO sense. You stated you should know when God shares something with you? How do YOU know when God is sharing something with YOU? Does he strike you with lighting when He shares something with you? Are you given a specific sign when it's from God and...

You are using circular answers/reasoning. Who is us? Who does He share it with? How do we know when He is sharing something with us? Mary

My dear friend, You didn't "hear the real Mary speaking" "from the heart" on what I "believe" in post #32, 75, 78, 82, 86, 93, 102??? Not just on this thread but all the other threads I have posted on? :( Maybe the "real Mary" ALSO holds people accountable when they say they believe something...

I am a retired school (college) teacher. I guess old habits die hard. ;) After dealing with college kids a good portion of my life I am in the habit of holding people accountable for their actions and words. I should realize I am now dealing with older people; not college kids. On the academic...

Hi Amadeus, If I understand you correctly you are saying that God agrees with the people (heart) that agree with Him? That is circular logic, however, I understand what you mean. I would say that God LOVES the heart (person) that agrees with Him. He condemns the heart that doesn't. The big...

Hi VIJ, Thank you for that articulate narrative. I now understand what you are saying. You present a very tough question. It seems you are not really asking at what AGE are we accountable. You are asking at what point in our life, after we have heard/experienced the PROPER "form of religion"...

Hi Amadeus, Scenario: One billion Christians belong to a church that believes and teaches the same message from scripture: Abortion is murder. One billion Christians that belong to a different church disagree and use scripture to show that: Abortion is not murder. How do we know which Church...

Hi VIJ, One could accuse you or me of being deaf toward God's voice if we disagree with their interpretation of scripture. One could accuse you and I of potentially eternal damnation if we don't agree with their interpretation. Does that make you or I spiritually sick or mean we have a damaged...

Hi BG, How do we know what is "good and bad" in each denomination? Can you give me a list of the good and bad for some of the denominations so I know what denominations to tell my friends to avoid? Mary

Hi GG, I am curious!! Who decides the rules we are to follow? I would like to follow the Rules of the Kingdom of God so that I will be living in the Kingdom. Where can I find that list? Mary

Hi Amadeus, I thought you believed "the authority to settle the difference belongs to God"? Do you feel comfortable speaking for God by quoting those verses? Do your quotes from scripture settle the difference? I also believe what God said: God formed the man of dust from the ground and...

Does the person who has heard of Jesus but decides not to follow Him get the wrath of God? Does the person who heard of Jesus, reads scripture, interprets scripture to say that abortion and same sex marriage is OK and is backed up by scripture get the wrath of God? Mary

Hi Amadeus, What does God say about abortion? Mary

No speculation on my part.:) What is your definition of being "spiritually blinded" and "incapable of seeing"? Wouldn't a mentally ill/deficient or infant be "incapable of seeing"? IHS...Mary

So he does see SOME of it? Mary
