You pray in tongues? Are you referring to the gift that is not an earthly language, but a heavenly/angelic language that requires an interpreter? From my understanding, it is for personal edification. Paul speaks of the gift of prophecy as being more valuable for the edification of the church.

It was and is a holy communion with Christ. You do not know about my relationship with Christ as you degrade and denigrate the relationships throughout the Body of believers. You disgrace the Body of Christ. You should be asha.ed of yourself - you have no love, nor demonstrate any fruit. All...

As school kids have different grade levels, different levels of knowledge and understanding, we disagree. We agree on basic essentials and fundamentals. Belief and faith in Christ, Who He is, what He did and what He promises we can agree on. Some doctrines are advanced. Can you argue the TOE...

Bearing false witness again. I have received Christ at the age of 35. Prostestants led me to Christ, not Catholics. What happened to me when I was a kid in the Catholic Church was meaningless. Then it meant nothing, now it means everything.

I don't recall ever seeing one of those apostles visiting our nation? I do remember attending a Catholic Church, getting my Communion and Confirmation ... you think that Priest would have invited Peter or Paul to our church for some extra inspiration? Really, I could have used it at that time...

The apostles died long ago. We are taught by God's WORD., ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED. Peter is dead. He started things out, but Jesus is the cornerstone. He builds the Church. Peter has no keys to the gates of Hades. Jesus has the keys to those gates. Peter is just floating on a cloud...

It is odd that you quote scripture that actually contradicts your point. The Holy Spirit guides and teaches us. We do fine without the Pope, the Catholic church, the Priests and especially Mary and the dead saints! God lives in us and we go directly to Him. You quote lots of scripture that does...

Mountain is symbolic for government. As scripture says the government will be on His shoulders. He builds the Church (body of believers). The Body will live forever, buildings will be destroyed - all former things will pass away.

The CHURCH is not a building, it is not a belief system, it is the BODY OF CHRIST, which includes ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST - Catholics, Protestants, Non-denominational. That amounts to about 2.65+ billion. Furthermore it will include people that may at the moment be atheists, Muslims, Buddhists...

They aren't alone, they are in harmony. The whole Bible is about Jesus. Some claim He is on every page. He is the Word. He is Love and He is the Creator, the Author of our Faith, which is a gift. Faith is not alone. Grace encompasses all God's gifts. Everything that is good comes from God...

The Bible doesn't say don't drink wine, it says don't get drunk on wine. As others have noted, wine has a medicinal purpose for stomach problems. It is also good for the blood. Consuming any food or drink is permissible. But not everything is good for us. The Bible warns and discourages us from...

My wife and I are not drinkers, just a few bottles of wine a year if we want. No promises needed. I drink coffee daily though. I probably would have asked Jesus for a carmel marchiatto with an extra shot if I was at that wedding.

The case was made in the OP. Rome is not the Restrainer. It is bad theology. I only shot from one side of my hips, maybe I should read your posts too ... nah ...I'll pass.

News flash! The Holy Spirit is the Restrainer. God has restrained evil throughout history, He is in control, and allows evil for a purpose. Jesus had to leave when He was here in order for the Holy Spirit to come. And He will not come until the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way. The Holy...

Lol, nice try. There lots of refernces in the Bible about getting drunk on wine, to avoid It, words of wisdom. When people drink lots, they don't notice the difference in quality any more. Still, sounds like a Mormon theology.

I get it, you're another one who thinks you no longer have flesh (where sin dwells). You suppose Christ, when He cleansed you, your whole being was perfected? Your spirit is cleansed, BUT it takes quite some time to get your behavior to cooperate and fruit to grow, to walk the walk, not just...

Where? My spirit is cleansed, but my flesh has sin. When I die they separate. He who says he has no sin, the truth is not in him. The truth is in me and I have sin dwelling in my flesh. You can deceive yourself and think you have no sin, but you do the same things that unbelievers do -- unless...

Do you think the "Do you think the "tekiah gedolah" will be the last trumpet when the church is resurrected (1 Thes. 4:16, 17; 1 Cor. 15:52) or the 7th Trumpet of Revelation 11:15 and why? That will be the day of awe.

Frightening!

I agree with all the scriptures you presented, just not your interpretations. It really doesn't benefit your position by quoting the same ones over and over again. You will find out soon enough.
