    If all you were trying to say is that there are disctinctions between clergy and laity, you could have saved lots of writing! I would have agreed with you! Maybe they translate it that way do to an anti Roman agenda, maybe not. The KJV was written after the dark ages of Rome running Europe...

    The Nanny State

    Most states don't have seatbelted buses. /states should take seriously, ideas that while mildly intrusive can save many many lives. Personally I wish states would ban tobacco, ( I am a former 1 1/2 pack a day smoker). It is a known carcinogen and costs states billions in health care and lost...

    The Nanny State

    This is all true! We have left a responsible govt. in America and moving toward a totalitarin form on way to the one world govt. We will see more and more of foolish rules, exploitive rules and downright purely partisan rules to benefit one party. We as followers of Christ, must follw them as...

    Why Do We Sin?

    Your error is you reject the divinity of Christ and think He is just an angel. YOu also err because you forget God refers to a person and to a nature! Or you intentionally ignore it. NO we don't have to believe Jesus opnly came as a human. He existed by nature s God as Phil. 2 clearly says...

    My question to you is this: Paul was given that revelation for it had not been revealed prior. Why would God spend time giving you a revelation that is clearly spelled out in His Word? All one has to do is study to show ones self approved tro learn what you said you got by direct revelation...

    The Nanny State

    Well teh empirical science has shown that seatbelts save vastly more lives than they cost and have a very high net benefit. I was a letter carrier for many years and I have seen th estats on accidents with and without seatbelts worn by carriers. Seat belts reduce the severity of injuries and...

    Well we are all a nation of priests. But as back then in both Jewish and pagan cultures, people were very used to a priesthood, it was a very common word for a minister. Jewish priest functioned for service at teh temple, same with pagan priests. The rite of holy orders did not develop until...

    Yet you forget that in the first instance of the Word God in this compound sentence the definite article "the" (hos) appears in the original language. so it says in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and the Word was God! Letting us know in part one of the sentence that...

    Wrong! YOu are using mans philosophy to seek to form a biblical doctrine. the order of Melchizidech is always in the bible as singular! And order is "taxis" which means rank! And you can have a high priest without lesser priests. The high priest was the one who offered the high sacrifice...

    A Question About The Death and Resurrection of Christ

    His death was to pay for our sin. His resurrection was to justify us before the Father and insure we would live again!

    Believer is a verb! It requires action which means work! Either you are a servant (workman) or you are living in disobedience.

    This Seems A Little Hard To Believe

    Me too! different Cultures do different things. I have been blessed to visit four continents and I have seen and heard of many different things we would call weird or sick that to them is normal.

    Who says? The bible doesn't demand it! Only a RCC dogma demands it. That is the only priest hood mentioned in the NT. There is not even a whisper of lower priests under Jesus in the Melchizedekian order.

    Romans 15:16 King James Version 16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Minister is servant and He is not even implying the role of the RCC...

    Why Do We Sin?

    No god created Adam with the ability of what some call, the right to contrary choice (free will) Adam sinned and lost that free will and began the process of physical death while he underwent spiritual death immediately. We are born with a sin nature we inherit from Adam and Eve. God knew Adam...

    This Seems A Little Hard To Believe

    Many cultures completelyi accept marriages that young and having sex. We call it sick, but to them it is normal and something done for centuries.

    I think in all that word spaghetti, you cited that the one God exists in three persons. Saying the same thing I did in a more complicated way, that half of which you can't possibly know for certain.

    Why Do We Sin?

    Already told you I believed it- it means form or shape- not nature .Sorry but that is the bible! Jesus forgave sins. Only God can forgive sins! He was fully God and fully human whether you can understand or accept it.
