    Oh. You wanted the names of some who were leading the Catholic Church into apostasy after the 1st century? I thought you meant leading the true church after the 1st century. I would have to do a little research into who was responsible for introducing pagan practise into your church. For...

    No. Why did you bring up the subject of protestant failure... quote...You revolutionaries have recently decided that gay marriage is God approved according to Scripture but abortion isn't. Then the revolutionaries inside that cult broke away and said gay marriage AND abortion is God I stated I...

    So who started the Celtic church in Britain? Patrick's grandfather was a presbyter in that Church. The Celtic church is renowned for converting the pagan tribes of Britain and Ireland, Patrick later playing a major role in that. Who would you like to give the glory to other than Jesus?

    First among those who protested against heathen practices in the church was Helvidius I (c. A.D. 250-420 [sic]). It is interesting to note that three of the outstanding opponents of the papal innovations in Latin Christianity were from northern Italy. These were Helvidius, Jovinian, and...

    Not ultimately no. Immediately, yes.

    Concede Now, or Concede Later.

    I would add a word of caution. Peter did not promote this spiritual revelation in his letters, in fact, quite the opposite. After meeting with Moses and Elijah on the mountain, he said even that, as remarkable and eye opening as it was, was not to be used as a basis for truth, saying, we have a...

    Concede Now, or Concede Later.

    Cherished opinion proved the ruin of the Jews, and it will prove the ruin of many in our day. Rather than give up some cherished idea or idol of opinion, many refuse the truth which comes from the Father of light. They insist on being saved in some way by which they may perform some important...

    Yes, some go in that direction claiming they are the two "witnesses" just prior to the second coming. I say nonsense. Is God that cruel to demand even more of them than they have already given? The two witnesses are the law and prophets. "If they don't believe Moses, neither will they believe if...

    They are also types representing the law and the prophets. But that's another story.

    Under the altar speaks metaphorically of the blood that is spilt and runs down into the ground...KJV Genesis 4:10 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. Remember. Scripture explains scripture. Moses was resurrected. See Jude. Elijah...

    There is a broader, bigger, picture associated with that... The state of the dead. Christianity in general, unfortunately, have that wrong. I don't know all the answers, but scripture repeatedly declares that in death there is no consciousness, and without a resurrection, there is no life. The...

    This really grabbed me today!

    The only aspect of what you present here with which I find difficult to accept, is that part of the trinitarian traditional formula that demands that "inseparable" nature between Christ and His Father. To believe that, it means there was a component of Christ still joined to the Father at His...

    This really grabbed me today!

    That's not quite how you put it... Why are you presenting simple scripture on a way that makes it complicated? KJV Romans 8:2-4 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through...

    The demons also addressed Jesus as the Son of God (Matthew 8:29, Mark 3:11, 5:7, Luke 4:41). The man in the tombs possessed of a devil also called Christ the Son of God (Luke 8:27-29). The Roman centurion said he believed that Christ was the Son of God (Mark 15:39). The disciples confessed...

    It can now be seen why John began his Gospel by saying that the Word was God (1:1); that from the beginning the Word had been with God (1:2); that the Word had created all things (1:3); that the Word had become flesh (1:14). It can also be seen why John wrote that the divine Son of God was the...

    This really grabbed me today!

    The Bible very clearly says that Christ is God. The opening words of John’s Gospel tell us “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”...

    KJV Isaiah 66:22-23 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship...

    For Christians still hung up on Evolution...

    I think that gnostic. The scriptures speak of a literal observing of the Sabbath in the new earth. And a literal recognition of the new moon... One requires weeks, the other requires months.
