    Thank you. If it was convenient for a robber to kill his victim so that he could get away with his crime and have no witnesses would that also "likely ALWAYS be wrong" or just sometimes wrong? Would the robber be guilty of murder? Curious Mary

    Racism on parade

    Hi Aspen, You said that Trump has a dysfunctional frontal lobe. What do you mean by that? Being "tribal" has been around since the beginning of time. So has poverty. So has racism. There is nothing we can do to get rid of racism and poverty and there is nothing wrong with tribalism; as long as...

    Thank you for your very thoughtful, complete and well articulated response. I myself up until about three weeks ago thought that 2Cor 6:14 was about married people. I am still young in my walk. When one usually discusses abortion with another it is generally understood in that discussion that...

    Thoughts on Church Unity

    I think I get your point. A person that has only been reading scripture 5 years could be wiser and more knowledgeable about scripture than the person reading it for 50 years. Don't mind the 5 years versus the 50 years; just go with what is in my heart. I know people who in their heart believe...

    Thoughts on Church Unity

    My dear friend ByGrace, You are right. This is "ANOTHER INSTANT where says one thing to one person and something else to another." Some famous instances are when God told the men of the Catholic Church one thing and M. Luther something different and H. Zwingli something different then Luther...

    My goodness ByGrace...I am being silly and childish? Sticks and stones.....:cool: My point is that some on this forum find one or two or three lines in scripture that fit what they believe about a certain subject and disregard the rest of scripture about the same subject that doesn't fit what...

    Sola Fide

    Hi FHII, You are correct. I do not believe Peter was Satan. My point is a person can take ONE line from scripture and say...See, it's true. Peter was satan because Jesus said he was. My "agenda" (point) is that we must look at the FULLNESS OF SCRIPTURE instead of finding the one or two or...

    Thoughts on Church Unity

    Hi, Using your analogy that we "...are all likely at different levels in our walk with Him..." wouldn't that mean that someone that has been faithfully walking with Him for 50+ years is going to be more knowledgeable, wiser and better about interpreting scripture than a person who has been...

    Sola Fide

    Hi FHII, I responded to tabletalk in case your interested. I would like to make sure I am understanding you before I fully respond. Are you saying one can only receive grace by having faith? Or if this makes more sense: One has to have faith BEFORE they can receive grace? Mary

    Sola Fide

    Hi Tabletalk, If you take out the word "alone" we would be on common ground. How about if we look at the fullness of scripture to get the full picture. Start with James 2:14-26 and that pretty much sums it all up. However, I am willing to go deeper into scripture to make my point. Do you think...

    Sola Fide

    Jesus turned to Peter and said "Get behind me Satan...." Scripture says it. Jesus says it. It must be true. I think your missing my point....:mad:

    I respect you and your final post. I am just trying to find out these "strict policies" that u are taking about. You said they are there, but I can't find them. Mary

    Thoughts on Church Unity

    Hi Amadeus, There have been things that have come from God (Holy Spirit) to me that other Christians (including Pia) disagree with. How do I know who is right? Them or me? They say that God has spoken to them and that I am wrong. I KNOW that God has spoken to me so I feel I am right. Who is...

    Thoughts on Church Unity

    Hi Amadeus, I have laid before God the teachings and what I have received is that He has said that Pia is wrong. I am not arguing with her....I HAVE received His teaching and passed them to her. She just won't accept it. What should I do? Mary

    Sola Fide

    Hi FHduece, Scripture and Jesus says that Peter was Satan. How can you deny what Jesus said? A person is NOT considered righteous by faith alone. All I have to do is have faith? Never go to Church and have faith? Never help anyone in need and have faith? Never help the homeless and have...

    Thank you Scott. What you are saying makes absolutely ZERO sense to me and doesn't match up with what scripture says but if you believe it....it must me true. One is One and I am one and you are one and Jesus is one and God and Christ are One and the true bride hears his voice. I hope I am...

    Hi Job, Every day is nice for Mary. How about you? You are the one who said starting with post #8. If there is a post AFTER post #8 that clarifies your belief I just want to know what post it is? I have done a word search and can't find it. If you are confident in your statements and beliefs...

    Hi FHII, Here are my two references to debunk (address) your 500 year old theory: James 2:24, James 2:14-20 (Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror). Irrelevant? I gave you a single passage from scripture that supports what I believe; Peter is Satan. Here is another: In...
