I'd like to offer a little history lesson... First , the "original" church was Jerusalem, and by the time Jerusalem was destroyed in 70ad, Christians had spread the faith to Pella, Antioch, North Africa, Asia Minor, and Italy. There was no Catholic Church. The church was Christs, He was the...

It is a commandment that must be kept. As are all the commandments. Would anytime at all dare to argue that it is okay not to obey God's commandments? The thing you do not understand is the how. And though you read my post and quoted it, you missed the how. Do you know what eternal life is...

The fact that God is Spirit and is immortal throws your logic out the window. God is the only immortal Spirit, which discounts abruptly your thesis on the body dying but the soul/Spirit being immortal. It isn't.

No-one should ever obey God on the basis, it's a commandment. That is legalism. It is attempting to impress God, gain brownie points, even earn salvation, through works. "To as many who received Him, gave He power...". We are to first receive Christ. We are to first seek the kingdom of God and...

Hasn't changed much though has it. Europe is now as near to an Islamic state as one could presently imagine. The irony... Christian (so called Western civilization) Europe made it possible.

Actually, that is an interesting misunderstanding. The architecture so prominent in Muslim mosques etc, particularly the domed ceilings, were originally Christian, as seen in the "lost/dead cities of Syria" from Christian era long before Islam came on the scene...

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Houston are playing well. But I think the SB might be the Bills now that Daniel Jones is gone.

The main motive for the crusades in Palestine were to take back Jerusalem for Christianity. Why would that be necessary?

Two things. First, the Celtic church in Britain, (the Middle East, and later elsewhere ask through Asia), which began through the gospel being carried there by the (Celtic) Galatians in the first century, was a powerful Christian force in Britain for over a 1000 years, sending missionaries into...

As the Jets did at the end of the first quarter against the phins.

I would then allow AI to inform said "professor" of the truth. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/can-you-summarize-the-waldensi-Tz6JN55aTN.7U_cmCvNE0g I would also mention that while the common held belief that Waldo was the genesis for the Waldensian movement, I would disagree and p point...

True. Jesus didn't leave a book. He left His word, which is of infinite authority far and above your church's word, it's councils, and decrees. Wrong. The Catholic Church became an offshoot when it aligned herself in an adulterous relationship with the kings of this world.

Acts of mercy and love are the law, weightier than the minutae often proposed by many as examples of Jesus "breaking" the Sabbath. He did no such thing. He and the disciples picked grains of corn because they were hungry. The Pharisees in their hypocritical legalism placed their interpretations...

Yep

Just posted this on another thread... https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/when-does-jesus-judge-is-the-second-coming-judgement-day.73565/post-2182364

Throughout Scripture, there is the idea that God is just. He is a just judge. We n need to think about the judgement in the way we think about our own court systems. There are parallel concepts common to both the worldly system and the spiritual. First, there the judge, who is the final arbiter...

Do you not know those references concerning many who claim they are Jews, but are not? What church do they belong to?

And who is Israel? Answer carefully.

The thing everyone is missing is the holiness of the day. Made holy before sin, and mandated to be kept holy by those to whom it was given... That is mankind. It is still holy. Not holy in and of itself, but holy because of the blessing placed upon it, and the presence of God within it...
