    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Whatever dude. Only in private did he reveal thing to his disciples, but when others were around he would speak in parables. Matthew 13: So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Its still all in the realm of the dead. It was a parable but it wouldnt be understood until the holy spirit dropped. The aposltes would teach about it. The reason it is a parbale is because pharisees were around him while he spoke unto his disciples. Just did a study on it...

    What is the one true Church?

    But when it comes down to the one true church? I suppose anyone whom is a believer in Christ, is their own church - which gathers together with others to celebrate the things of God, because as individuals just as Jesus told his disciples to feed the sheep. So you do also Gods will in the...

    What is the one true Church?

    If people wanna claim to be a bishop or deacon, that is all cool. Respectful to anyone person who just desires to serve the Lord, and help others. May have some odd beliefs or counter intuitive thoughts, but everyone is a work in progress.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    One also as to consider that if Jesus came back as the (Word of God) soul / spirit from the dead. People would never have seen him. He had a special resurrection.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    The Parable is simply a look inside of the state of the Realm of the dead, which paradise, and the prison part of sheol - was separated from God - for a time until Jesus overcame death.

    A look at Timothy

    Paul goes on to tell timothy. This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desires to do good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy...

    What is the one true Church?

    Hebrews 13:17 KJV Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. This is talking about the apostolic rule of the day. The one which...

    What is the one true Church?

    No that is just a claim you say its been written to all of us. @Marymog But you cant quote a scripture that proves it. Was mainly wanting to know the answer to this question. Do you need a deacon or bishop to confide in and trust?

    What is the one true Church?

    Do you need a bishop, or a overseer as someone you can confide in and trust, @Marymog Curious matthew. Idc if people go to catholic church or not. It doesn't make them anymore christian than the next person who is willingly to show a person agape love with no judgement.

    A look at Timothy

    Well, his name is stated in the bible, and as shared previously, he was around doing so from 50-65Ad, unless he was only 15 years old when he lived? But that is just something historical to note if anything. Yeah, I am not really sure how to take it either. Thank you again for stopping by.

    What is the one true Church?

    Only is it the strength of Christ. Strength found in Christ is the only strength that will not fail you. He is strong enough to carry your burdens with you as you run the race with endurance (Hebrews 12:1). I pray these verses will help remind you that God's strength will get you through. to...

    People claiming to have seen Heaven

    If you love great, if you do not love God, I still love who ever. I have a lot of social anxity, and issues. I do not mean to disrespect anyone here if I ever have. Everyone is responsible for their ownselves, and my only purpose is to remind everyone of this. How you act, what you say, all...
