This is what YOU stated to which I was replying that we do NOT need to be theologians in order to be saved: From your post no. 394: "He can count on their ignorance....and their laziness. They want someone to know it all for them...and just spoon feed them what they want to hear.....the truth...

Not my opinion. WHEN was the religion of the Witnesses invented? I believe it was 1830. So HOW is it my opinion??? It's a NEW religion that was invented by A MAN... Your original statement was that we should not follow MEN/A MAN. Which is EXACTLY what YOU are doing. So you mean that if I...

@TrevorHL 2 of 3 Melito of Sardis (died c. AD 180) was the bishop of the church in Sardis. Irenaeus of Lyons (AD 130-202) was bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul, which is now Lyons, France. Irenaeus was born in Smyrna in Asia Minor, where he studied under bishop Polycarp, who in turn had been a...

Trevor...I'm not turning this conversation with you into a JESUS IS GOD debate. I usually will not do this because it should be ASSUMED that if a person puts CHRISTIAN under their avatar, it SHOULD mean that they believe Jesus is God. This is what this thread is about. The Apostles believed...

Calvinism had to invent the TWO WILLS of God in order to make any sense of their theology. God has only one will....which would correspond to Jesus' divine will. But God was not ever human.....which is why only Jesus had a human will while on earth. Yes, a will is what a person sets out to...

We've already been throught this BB,,,, I THINK you believe in the Trinity... maybe I'm wrong since you don't seem to understand what I posted. There are NOT 3 different Gods. I NEVER said this and will never say this. There is ONE GOD In that ONE GOD there are THREE distinct PERSONS. I...

There's more there than I thought... will be skimming through.... and actually reading some of it.

Amigo,,, I know this is your fear,,, but I just can't see the CC pairing up with Protestantism and I can't see Protestantism pairing up with the CC. I just don't. Too many differences.

2-3% doesn't sound like a lot... They sure do make their presence known on these Forums! It's a good start. This is the very first creed which is found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the...

If the teachings were in line with what Jesus taught,,,the church would not have discarded the groups that were heretical. Apparently the early church did not believe they were in line with what Jesus taught and so they were heretical teachings.

We're saying the same thing.... Jesus was ONE PERSON, but with TWO NATURES. What I said about the Garden prayer was that Jesus, in His HUMAN NATURE would have like to avoid the cross... His DIVINE NATURE was the same as God's,,,His Divine will was in accord with God. This is dyothelitism...

Correct. See how easy that was! ONE GOD THREE PERSONS GH,,,I think everyone understands the word God. As to the modifications in scripture...yes, there are some changes but any textual scholar will confirm that the differences have no effect on Christian theology. Even Bart Ehrman admits to...

Hi Trevor Just to clarify...Do I have the correct verses which give the definition given to early believers at Antioch... the ones who held to the Apostolic faith and practices? Acts 11:25-26 25 And he left for Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch...

You'll like it and I know you'll read it. The other member put a great deal of time into this...you could tell.

Yes Ma'am. And the JWs fall into the category you have just explained. As do all those other MAN-MADE religions I posted. Fear. Right. Try leaving the JWs and see what happens to you. THIS is fear.... you're not even free to leave the religion and you must go door to door to get converts. You...

Just to let you know that I DID read the above replies. Members are not responding to you because YOU do not respond to THEM. You're not paying attention to what the replies are. You're a mad person, lashing out at everyone. And I did not label you what you have listed. You might not comprehend...

@CTK I just got your book ! NEW INTERPRETATIONS BOOK OF DANIEL CAN YOU SEE MY NOW By Charles T. Kincade It's beautiful. I have an acquaintance, living in Londo, that also wrote a book (a self-help book) but it's nothing like yours. Yours if very well put together, professional and very...

When was God ever described as a PERSON? God is not a person... God is a divine being....yes, an essence...a divine essence. The Trinity causes caos when some want it to. I came to understand it through John 1:1 and John 1:14. And if we NEVER come to understand it...it has no bearing on its...

My belief is that "those views" should have been surpressed because they were not in line with Apostolic teaching.
