Does this mean my faith should be where yours is... because, you are sure? Is not turn about fair play? Should I take your place and you take mine? Would that please God or anyone?

The Church is the Body of Christ! It consists of people. How much authority does the little toe of our left foot have over our physical body? You insist the Catholic Church is it, but you are unable name a single apostle. The Church has subjected or is subjecting itself to Christ. While any...

I grew up in a small California town which was primarily Catholic. My mother married a Catholic, who was a better than the average worldly man. Like most of his close family living in the vicinity, he never attended mass. Yet the Catholics were most all very Catholic very certain that the small...

I am not disagreeing with you, my friend. You must do what God leads you to do to help others in need of help... most especially those who really want to be helped. My calling is not precisely the same, but we certainly agree that God's purposes are altogether good. Lots of warnings are in order!

I was once a sincere, faithful to God, young Catholic altar boy. I never had any serious complaints about Catholics as a whole when I was among them... but I honestly did not know much. I never even owned a Bible then. As a practicing Catholic I was blessed by God and cannot ever forget or deny...

But the answer to my question? Who definitely today according to you qualifies as an apostle. A specific name and location please!

I have certainly done it since believing. Too many, I believe, have been taught to do it by the ministers and/or rules in the churches where they attend. Does anyone quench the Spirit without realizing what they have been or are doing?

In all my years in Christians forums, including this one, I have heard very few supposed believers express that so directly. Consider what Jesus said and what John subsequently wrote: "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see...

What did Adam and Eve have before they disobeyed? Did they lose or corrupt the Spirit or spirit within so as to lose Life itself? When we have the Holy Spirit within us, what happens if we do not follow the lead of the Spirit? Why did Paul write this? "Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19

Yes, only one with one Head which is Jesus. How do we get into it? Should we follow a man or the Spirit of God?

Praying for your parents!

I hear you well. My wife helped me recently by buying some healthy snacks and drinks to replace the junk I was consuming. I actually have lost a few pounds. Most physical exercise is out of bounds for me so seeing a little bit drop off has given me hope.

I have never said that I was perfect... nor have I ever believed it... not in the sense that you mean. Perhaps you should learn what God considers perfection [completion] to be in the Bible itself rather than presuming that some definition of carnal men is applicable. I said that through the...

By the power of the Holy Spirit what is impossible? But then also, what is perfection? What is completion? What is that God expects or desires for each of us to accomplish? "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."...

My very first question was: How well do "believers" make the distinction between the voice of the Porter and the voices of strangers? According to Jesus his sheep recognize the difference. If a person does not know the difference between the Master's voice and the voice of a stranger, that...

How well do "believers" make the distinction between the voice of the Porter and the voices of strangers? Why are we not all as discerning as Jesus put it here? "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger...

"And David danced before the LORD with all his might; ..: II Sam 6:14 And for many years so did I, in the flesh, as led by the Spirit... but then like that ballet dancer in the OP my body diminished too much to carry on with it. The body diminished, but in my mind and in my heart when I...

Lots of folks walking around completely blind to the good of God. As God increases His good in you, do not be surprised to find yourself becoming then very invisible to many others. Some of them perhaps have no real existence and when their fictional vision is gone, what will be left?

I believe that God calls people to various places [include church groups or organizations among them] to accomplish particular tasks for Him there. If He really wants us to 'come out of her' because this particular "she" is not for us, will we being sincerely in love with Him not recognize His...
