    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Having love or being a loving individual won't save your soul, nor will false doctrine which will lead you astray

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    The gifts of the Spirit filled a void at that time which we don't have now because of the written word, whereas back then, they were pretty much devoid of the written word which was a work in process. Nothing hard to understand the logic in the gifts then being needed but not now.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    1st of all, the various NT writings were circulated. And, that's the reason for the miraculous manifestation of the Spirit in the early church days, which provided prophesy, knowledge, etc and became manifest by the laying on of the apostle's hands. Documents such as you mentioned, like the did...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    It's inferred by warnings to the contrary in both the OT and NT. Deuteronemy 4:2, 12:32, Revelation 22:19, Galatians 1:6-9, Proverbs 30:5-6

    WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU?

    I don't know what you're point is other than condemnation of using God's word, the bible, which i do, as opposed to using other man-made, unscriptural, documents, which are over and above God's word and not to be used as supplemental to God's word. There are sufficient warnings in both the OT...

    WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU?

    I celebrate Xmas as a family holiday no different than any other holiday like 4th of July, labor day, Easter (also not a religious holiday). But there are no religious holidays that were celebrated in the New Testament; the only day revered is Sunday, the 1st day of every week, which is to...

    WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU?

    Its NOT a religious holiday nor is dec 25 the birthday of the Lord, so, it means nothing to me religiously. Just another day

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hebrews 1:8 King James Version 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom

    THE GREAT COMMISION WAS GIVEN ONLY TO THE TWELVE

    We must look at the entire Bible similarly. As an example, who were the various NT books or letters written to? Us today? No! They were written specifically to those to whom they were addressed, i.e.; the Romans, the Corinthians, the Galatians, the Ephesians, the Hebrews, etc., and addressing...

    What Is the Significance of the Seven Churches in Revelation?

    A few things can be learned which are significant about the 7 churches. One, that they were already starting to stray as was the case even before that. Two, that not only people, but entire congregations can be in danger of losing their salvation for various reasons. Three, that there is a...

    ACTS 2 PENTECOST ***

    Yes, it was the 11 apostles only, not the 120 as some erroneously believe, and it can further be traced to the promise made to the 11 by the Lord which was "the power from on high" as recorded in Luke 24:49 and also that which was stated by John the Baptist as the baptism of the Holy Ghost...

    Smoke weed

    The problem is that you can have a drink and not get drunk, that being in moderation, and in so doing, your intent was not to get intoxicated, wherein you'd be contrary to scripture. However, you cannot say so with weed. Your intent in smoking weed is solely for the purpose of getting high, and...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Apostacy is renunciation That's what I said. That's what Hebrews says. Repentance is the remedy for sin subsequent to being saved. 1 John 1:9 "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Phil 2:12

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    You find the geneology in 1 Chronicles 1 ftom Adam to Israel and the geneology of Christ in Matthew 1, so, if you can trace the Israelites back to Adam, it's all true, including the flood. The other issue, based on a short read if Amos, as stated, finds your logic flawed regarding...

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    Amos 5 infers the offerings and sacrifices were in vain, not that they were not prescribed. God wouldn't accept them. Not sure what you're getting at but your point is not valid based on the 1st one that I checked.

    Cite the scriptures in question that you're trying to make your point about.

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Yes, you can lose your salvation. One way is too renounce christ after you've been converted as the newly converted Jews were warned of in the book of Hebrews. And, there is a remedy for sin after conversion; it's repentance

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    The belief osas, is a false doctrine to begin with, so the question posed is irrelevant

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    Speak for yourself. I believe it all, 100% as I'm sure many others do
