To further clarify, the falling away occurred in the beginning with Adam and Eve who then had children "fallen"--"according to their kind" just as it was and is in all creation. Which has continued, and will continue, as long as children are born of women. That indeed is what comes first. Then...

We are certainly seeing what would appear to be a "falling away" in people today. However, that's not really the messaged of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4: Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or...

Since the old me is now dead, I can only truthfully answer what is true by God of the new me born [again] of the spirit of God: I no longer sin and am sinless (which I do not "believe" but know). Even so, it would not be right of me not to explain as did Paul, that since I am now among the "we...

Good question! Unfortunately, most Christians don't give the matter as much thought as you apparently have. Truth is, they too exist within their own version of blindness as those who without the knowledge of Jesus Christ, would say "there is no God." They, having heard, actually have no...

Certainly that depends on our definition of "common sense" or what context you mean. In one context or respect "common sense" would mean "your own understanding", in which case it would be completely suspect. However, I get your point and believe you do not mean that context, but rather as you...

Gauging by your content here...why did you name the thread "Jesus said, "Few There Be That Find It" when obviously it's more about your idea that Catholics are not Christian?

Great...but you would do better to start another thread on that topic.

You're venting another issue than the Original Post. But why the fangs regarding what I have not said? Sounds personal.

This is not a thread warning the Catholics. If it were, I too would have much to warn them of. Yet not being that Catholics warning thread--you are chiming in on the wrong bandwagon, and it is wrong to condemn the whole lot as has been done here by the Original Poster.

1 Corinthians 12:12-19 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one...

That has been my point also. If you read all my posts here to @Robert Pate, you will see that.

That is true, but you can't rightfully use that against the idea of the different parts of the body of Christ being intentionally different as the very plan of God, as if we should all be the same. So, yes, religious practices have been and are a problem...and the Catholics may be as bad or...

The point is not me calling anything what I want...but you calling a would-be Christian denomination an entirely different religion. Get your words straight! It's causing you to make errors and false statements. As for the church at Smyrna, it was I who pointed it out to you. But to be clear...

First, it is important to recognize and understand that much of what is written regarding the salvation of Christ, i.e., the born again of the spirit of God, was written on the cusp of salvation's firstfruits. Meaning that some of what is written was to those yet approaching salvation, while...

That is not the conclusion that I would advocate. But rather that certainly the saved know they are saved, while the unsaved are simply unsure in spite of many of them being hopeful...which is not the same thing.

This touches on and eludes to the greater plan of God unfolding the first Adam beginning with taking Eve out of him and them having many children; then taking one nation out of the many nations; and then refolding again the many back into the one nation and ultimately into the One Last Adam (the...

That takes care of other "religions." (Even though you wrongly consider Catholics to be a different religion.) Perhaps this is just about your communication skills...and using the world "religion" when the correct word among the greater heading of "Christians" would be "denominations." Which I...

First, apparently you are not fully understanding 1 Corinthians 1:10. By "speak the same thing", he does not mean that the eye should speak as a foot and vice versa, but means rather to be of the same Spirit. By "that there be no divisions among you" he does not mean that you live and exist...

Apply the following verse to your vision of stairs: Luke 13:32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ You shall live to see it.
