Yes, a journey of a million miles starts with one step.

You believe that's why God requires worship? To validate His own existence? If so, you do not know God nor understand His basic character.

Are you seriously asking these questions, or are they rhetorical? If you want answers, I'm happy to oblige, but only if you are serious.

What!!

Oh boy.

Apart from the above, regarding baptism, I agree with you. I might add however that if one is baptized in the name of all members of the Godhead, God is not going to ignore the sincere expression of faith from any repentant sinner.

We could ask the question 'why?' to any number of doctrines pertaining to those so called 44,000 denominations. How many of those denominations agree on everything... And if they do agree on everything,, "why?" are they separated? But, that's a digression from the OP so you may ignore my...

It's interesting that you quote the scriptures pertaining to the same incident 3 times. And yet not one of them is saying what you claim. Where does the scripture say Jesus fulfilled the Sabbath? Since when has the word fulfill meant changed, altered, switched, abrogated, cancelled, adjusted...

Ummm, no. This time you are wrong. We are called to faith...the just shall live by faith. This it becomes God's responsibility to prepare me for whatever is to come. Not that I don't have a role to play. God cannot sanctify me unless I am willing to read scripture, for Jesus prayed that His...

Mmm. We have scripture to support the 7th day Sabbath. I see nothing in scripture to suggest, support, or hint at a Sunday Lord's Day. Jesus said He was the Lord of the Sabbath. That makes the Sabbath the Lord's Day. Unless of course you choose to go elsewhere for your authority changing the...

I think you should have said, Paul did not say, keep the Sabbath holy. The reason he didn't say that was likely (not wanting to read his mind) , because he didn't need to. The Sabbath was well known among the entire middle east as a Jewish tradition. The Jewish converts themselves didn't need to...

Interesting. A typical protestant apologetic for disobeying the 4th commandment which your own church in the past has condemned as unbiblical having no real foundation in scripture, those scriptures you quoted not saying what you want them to say.

Of course! I have an obligation and a responsibility to not only myself, but my family, neighbors, and strangers, that my witness and testimony to Jesus, the Way Truth, and Life, is in fact I'm harmony with scripture, otherwise I might be found to be a liar, and leading others into perdition...

Can we be saved and yet not love Jesus? No. "If ye love me, keep my commandments". Can we be saved in a state of disobedience? No. That's how humanity lost it's exalted position in Eden. Shall we return to that position but have no change in attitude, or character, or impulses? No again...

The experience of Willow Creek and it's failed pastor reveals why denominations, with the focus on family rather than business modelling, are not defunct institutions, can be successful if run correctly and according to scriptural Imperatives.

Just a thought that crossed my mind I'm getting back to the OP, I am wondering if at present there is a "one true church". I do believe that I'm the best future there will be, but right now there are Christians in every church, in every denomination, genuine believers who do not at this time...

What is the alleged crime?

I don't accept any man's teaching, or woman's, unless they are in harmony with scripture. You cannot claim the same. You accept your men's teaching with no clear reference point or set standard based solely on your men's declaration, I told you so. You have your Pope. I have scripture. If I am...

My official exit from catholicism came after meeting Jesus during a night of confession and surrender, and twice returning to my roots, attending mass, meeting the officiating priest, but finding no life within or encouragement to return. I never knew or met a bad Catholic. I never had any...

So I read your little treatise, and there was nothing there that surprised or shocked. I was fully aware of the equally egregious incidents of Protestant persecutions... Not only against Catholics, but fellow Protestants. However, you are comparing apples with rusty ovens. First, you need to...
