How is that consistent with the Scripture that says there is no other mediator between God and man except Jesus Christ?

Here is my take on it: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" (2 Timothy 4:3). The gist of sound doctrine that Paul refers to is set out in the...

What you are giving is JW and Mormon doctrine, and a denial of the Nicene Creed, which is the corner stone of genuine Christianity.

Oh well, It won't be long before I know what the real answer is. Problem is, I won't be coming back to tell you while you are suffering during the Tribulation. :-)

Did I say that? No. I am referring to all of us in general as we are in the flesh. There are no ranks or places in the Kingdom of God. We are all of equal rank - vile sinners previously deserving of hell, saved by the grace of God. How can they meet the Lord in the clouds, when they are...

So you are redacting the text of 1 Thessalonians to read that the dead in Christ shall rise and be transported to Jerusalem along with those who are still alive, and erasing the references to meeting the Lord in the clouds and the air. So, this is how the reference reads with your redaction...

After reading a few posts which tend to be a bit negative I just can't help injecting a bit of humour into the thread, just to lighten the mood. There was a gay guy who had done a line with every eligible male he knew, but not to his doctor yet. So he went to his doctor complaining of painful...

There is the story about when Beethoven's family home was first opened to the public as a museum. When the first group entered the house, they heard Beethoven music coming from the bathroom. When they entered they heard the music coming from the toilet. They looked into the bowl and...

It's like any commercial enterprise - the work is not done until the paper work is finished!

I have a question: Why are Catholic clergy called "priests"? Here is the dictionary definition: Definition of priest : one authorized to perform the sacred rites of a religion especially as a mediatory agent between humans and God The word in bold is my emphasis. How come Catholic...

No. We as priests have direct access to God and don't need a mediator between us and God. If we acted as priests to others are we not coming in between them and God? Who do we think we are that we can be an intermediary between another person and God, when the Scripture says to every...

That was what I said to people when I contracted alopecia and lost all my hair over a couple of weeks. My Google nickname is "The Bald Eagle".

I hold to the Nicene Creed, which is the foundation of the Christian church.

So what is your theory about what happens to a converted Christian when he or she dies?

I know it wasn't because the Scripture doesn't say anything about it. And if it ain't in the Bible, then it ain't true.

In Auckland, as a result of the Corona virus appearing there, panic buying from supermarkets have cleaned out many essential items, and so there is every possibility that households may have to survive on what they have on hand. So, an emergency like that is not as far away as one might...

But one doesn't lie to a non-person, and a non-person cannot be grieved; also a non-person cannot speak as He did concerning Paul and Barnabas. Also a non-person does not inspire or teach anyone as the Scripture says He does.

So how do you explain Jesus saying, "Into your hands I commit my spirit"? And how do you explain Paul saying that no man can explain the nature of his spirit except the spirit within him in the same way that no one can know the mind of the Spirit except the Holy Spirit Himself? Do you really...

So, it seems that the darkness referred to in John 1 is described of those people who are separated from God by sin. Therefore it is not a direct link to Genesis 1 which talks of the darkness which is the absence of light. I think it is too much of a stretch to equate the darkness of eternity...

But Jesus was the same! He said that He could do nothing except what the Father told Him. Does that mean that you are saying Jesus, because He was under the command and control of the Father, wasn't a person either? Oh! Common sense, thou art a jewel!!!
