    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Believing and trusting God and Yeshua, is an essential. I believe Yeshuas words, I believe the words of the Letters written to those people in that time. I don't mind clarifying my beliefs with the concern of the bible so I am glad I could atleast help in someway, if people were paying...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    I could see how that is applied by the Spirit. I told you I believe all things are fulfilled. I don't believe I have to repeat myself on that note anymore. (Believe me when I state what I have to you.) There is only one part of scripture that I believe remains continually ongoing, Revelation...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Thank you. I find it difficult for people to read the bible in a whole contextual setting and studying verse by verse personally. I have only done so much myself. I should pursue such things personally. Thank you for joining in on the discussion. It's been a major help getting push back from...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    They choose for themselves. Not me. I've done made my choice already and I don't mind if people agree with me or disagree that is their choice. No one should believe me or them. They should investigate for themselves.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Nah I just read it for what is worth. People can say I am wrong, or call me names behind my back. It doesn't matter anymore to me.

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Hell is over with according to the bible. Many people continue to promote that it is still there, but according to the Bible, there is an outside of the Kingdom, and inside of the Kingdom of God. Faithful, or remain faithless, you'll end up in one place or the other.

    Biblical divorce

    Yeah, try to stick it out with your wife or husband. Unfortunately there have been many cases where a wife or husband will murder for life insurance purposes, they also can be found to cheat on one another. I hope to have a wife one day but who knows.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The Bible, and what Jesus stated that he was coming back to get the bride in that day in age, Revelation states a message to seven real churches, some who had things right, some who had things wrong, and they were warned if they don't get it together as the Church Bride of Christ, they were...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The church bride of Christ in that day was made up by the people. So... I believe that they were taken.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Well, is the church you attend pure, holy, and blameless? I don't believe a church like that exist. This is what Paul stated to the people at Ephesus

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    @nedsk, That was the bride of Christ, the Apostles were in charge of in that day. Doesn't pertain to me, today. I do believe we become partakers of Christ, and co-heirs with Christ and all of those things, but that church that was pure, blameless, and holy was taken.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    I don't like religious organizations which put people into bondage, not understanding they already have a direction connection with God himself through faith. Not religion.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The Spirit of Christ, causes people to fruits of love, when they abide in him. While I believe that Church is done and over materially, I still think is cool if people want to go to the Church. The thing is, today, there is a direct connection between Yahavah and man. That is by and through...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Yes, it is important to me. However, it is the reason that I share for people to think for themselves, and not what they traditionally have been taught. I'm a person that believes all reading material is great! From Stephen King to Josephus, to the Bible, to Philosophy, to anything one would...

    Concern. Legit or not. If a person states hey man I believe Jesus came, died, was buried and risen again. And they may have some outlandish ideas. Love them. Its okay to disagree with friends.

    Should the Gospel of John be removed from the Bible?

    I tell you what (hank hill voice), if you read that bible and start hating people, then you might need to re-evaluate your relationship with Yahavah/God.
