I think the accuser of the brethren refers to Satan. The context seems to show this: “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice...

Christian Gods, plural? Really? All the Christians I know believe in one God, existing in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thanks for replying. Yes, the Scriptures do indeed say that there is no other name than the Saviour's by which one must be saved. Here is the verse in context: “"If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, "let it be known to you...

But names do change in translation from one language to another. The original Greek New Testament didn't call Him Yeshua. Not disrespect is intended in English speakers calling Him "Jesus" (though clearly I am not talking about people who use "Jesus" or "Christ" as swear-words!)

Thank you. I know the names are related. Strong's Concordance has this entry for the word translated "Mary": "3137. Μαρία Maria [mar-ee’-ah]; or Μαριαμ Mariam [mar-ee-am’]; of Hebrew origin [04813]; Maria or Mariam (i.e. Mirjam), the name of six Christian females: — Mary." However, I...

Repenting certainly includes resolving not to commit that sin any more. To do that, we need God's help. Indeed, repentance involves turning from sin and turning to God. You ask which sins. All the sins you have committed, at least those that you know about. And remember, sin is anything we...

Joseph and Miriam? Didn't you mean "Joseph and Mary?" As far as I am aware, Miriam as a name is not mentioned in the New Testament.

Yes, wronlgy used, in my view.

The words on which that cartoon is based were addressed by the Saviour to backsliding Christians. It's part of what John was told to write to the church at Laodicia: “"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the...

I'm using a laptop, so there is no mouse wheel. It's easy enough to use the font size menu at the top of the reply I am posting. (It's just to the right of the u icon for underline.)

I find the font size you use much easier to read than the smaller ones. In fact I am using it now, (22) and it looks like a Font size 12 in my word processor program.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, there was nothing to indicate that it was a multiple choice vote. Now I know that it is, I have changed my vote accordingly.

Nobody deserves to be in heaven. The bible says we are all sinners in God's sight. That is why salvation is because of God's grace, not because we deserve it. Where in the bible do you read that Jesus went to purgatory? That's not because they are worthy but because their Saviour, Jesus...

I don't believe it is possible to describe God by just one of the choices given. Is God loving? Yes, the bible says: “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1Jo 4:8 NKJV) Is God wrathful? Again, yes: “But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the...

I am sorry you seem to have taken offence at my post. Let me try to explain. I read your words: "If you are born again, and you are not Taking The Communion, regularly... (everyday) then its probably because you are afraid of it" and I thought you were advocating taking the communion every...

I don't find any biblical evidence that the Lord's Supper/Communion should be taken every day. Have you got a particular bible passage in mind?

Your reply was to my post and to Pius IX's. However, I didn't even mention Mary or the word "stain", so I am unsure why you addressed your reply to me. Perhaps I have misunderstood.

No, original sin is not a Roman Catholic doctrine. Well, it might be, but what I mean is that it is not only believed by Roman Catholics. Paul, writing to Christians in Rome comparing Jesus Christ with Adam, wrote: “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one...

I am surprised to read that you believe Abraham's bosom to be a Babylonian myth. Why would Babylonians be interested in Abraham and his bosom? If it was merely a Babylonian myth, why would Jesus use it in His teaching?

Yes, it is good to long for prayer, in the sense of desiring to pray more.
