You don't have to be actually committing these sins for a pastor to preach against it. I was six years old when I was given an assignment to memorize the entire Ten Commandments. I can still repeat all of them from Exodus 20 in King James. It didn't mean I was committing adultery or murder. And...

I have my own thoughts on this, but your questions are interesting. I believe Adam was created immortal, but when he willfully sinned that caused his spirit to become mortal, and his nature to become carnal. Angels are created immortal and Satan and his angels remain immortal. Hell is...

There is a difference between sinlessness and perfection. What you never hear me talk about is "sinless perfection." That is merely an unfounded accusation. A saint is sinless, justified and sanctified, and righteous; but takes a lifetime to become perfect in steps called glorification and holy...

That's not what I said. Not all those calling themselves Christians are born again. Born again Christians are saints. 1 John 3:9 1 John 5:18

Read 1 John 3:1-24; and 2 Peter 1:2-11 Not every "believer" is obedient, and has been given power over sin. Revelation 22:11

I have the Didache, and know it was written in the first century so will have to take another look. Another book written in the first century, but others believe around 130 in Alexandria is the Epistle of Barnabas. I LOVE that book and believe it should have been put in the canon seeing as the...

I've never read that. Did the Ethiopian eunuch fast that Phillip baptized? That fact isn't in the text. Nor on the Day of Pentecost when 3000 were baptized. Who taught you that? That seems like adding to scripture. What are you quoting? It isn't a Bible text. I prefer full immersion that...

Hi Mary, We are kindred spirits. I love to learn new facts too, but especially that God answered my prayer for Him to cleanse any denominational falsehoods from my mind, and replace them with the truth of His Word straight from the Author. Mary, what happened next was amazing and supernatural...

Actually only the first century had it right. The Roman Church went completely off the rails when they inserted pagan rituals into the church to help pagans transition into a new religion. Venus and Cupid became Mary and Jesus. Protestants misinterpreted the meaning of grace and the gospel...

Actually the RCC killed the last desposyni, the last true leader, but we do have the Bible and the Church is established world-wide. We have always had the Holy Spirit since the Day of Pentecost, and Jesus said, He would never forsake us or leave us. Jesus is our leader. The Pope actually...

Again, we are NOT in the carnal sin nature if the Spirit of God indwells us. A true Christian doesn't go in and out of the Spirit as some teach. You can grow in the fruit of the Spirit and never stumble. 2 Peter 1:2-11. 1 John 1:8 is to Christians, but not ABOUT a Christian. Look at 1 John 1:6...

No dear. That is exactly what Jesus came to fix! Our fallen human nature. The carnal nature Paul refers to as the flesh. But look in Romans 8:9 for those who are baptized in the Spirit, and who now walk in the Spirit and NOT in our old human fallen nature - the flesh. 9 But you are not in the...

The Kingdom is within us. Jesus is the King but He is within us. It is called abiding in Him, and He in us. 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. You have been baptized in water, but have...

Acts 15 shows who makes changes to the laws for the Gentiles - James. Peter was like a lawyer. James was the judge.

Starting with the first quote. Jesus choose His own apostles. Peter disobeyed Jesus who told them to WAIT in Jerusalem. They had not received the power to come on the Day of Pentecost. Acts 1:8. They chose Matthias by GAMBLING, a pagan ritual of the Romans, casting lots, where one of the lots...

We can receive the writings of Paul and John also. The whole New Testament are witnesses to Jesus. It is Truth. I know it is very hard to undo all the lies you have grown up with. But it is Christ who died for you. And it is His Spirit that dwelt in ALL of His apostles, not just Peter. I know it...

I don't know if you are Orthodox or RCC, but I would suspect you are RCC. Both of those are break-offs - denominations - from the original church. That doesn't mean you cannot be saved by being in a denomination, but they are telling you, that only they are the true Church. It is not about...

Jesus is the Rock, the Cornerstone. Anyone who abides in Him, and He in them become one. That is you and I too. Jesus was the firstborn of many brethren Romans 8:29-30 Don't forget Peter was the leader of the apostles, but James, the brother of Jesus, was the actual head of the Church.

Peter was saying that to the Jews who already know about the baptism of John the Baptist. Peter is emphasizing that Jesus the Son of God is God, and they MUST repent and accept Him to receive the Holy Spirit. Remember, this was on the Day of Pentecost where they witnessed the Holy Spirit falling...
