When the apostles adressed the early churches as "little children", one should readily pick up on Who it was that was Speaking to them. In light of that, it is easy to call the apostles as being "the early church fathers", for it was the Holy Spirit who was speaking through them, to the early...

Shall we say that the image of a father wasn't in all the Apostles, in their writings of instruction for the early churches? The Apostles often used the words "little children" , when addressing the early churches. Here, have a look at these references: Galatians 4:19 1 John 2:1-18 and28 1...

My issue is, why do it in the first place, since in the early church, most people were biblically illiterate, not to mention that the scriptures weren't mass produced, until after the 1600s! It was quite apparent then, that the RCC was "lording over them" their the authority of religion that...

Its easy to understand the term "the early fathers" of the beginning of the church age. It is by them that Christ's church was shown forth as a reality, being separate from the operations of the customs and traditions of Jewish Synagogues. However, its not that no one has "fathers" in the flesh...

As for what happened to the OT Saints, who died in faith believing of the first appearance of Christ, they were sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise, on the Day of Pentecost. Please see KJV- Revelation 6:9-11 for the truth about them.

Its not that Protestants have strayed, but rather Christ, who alone is the Head of His church, that made it to be so. HE raised up those He chose (M. Luther, J. Wesley, G. Whitefield, B. Graham etc.) for the work of keeping His people to be "free indeed" from the bondage of false doctrines, that...

To most of what you say, I agree as it pertains to the body of Christ, His church. However, to this you said: "Nowhere in scripture does the common priesthood have the ministry of reconciliation.", I strongly disagree. I, as a born again Christian, as the like of others, do have the ability in...

God's judgment isn't going to be like a civil court room, with defending and prosecuting lawyers over the law (the Torah). The first judgment was DEATH through Adam, of which all are "appointed", with no escape. The second judgment IS LIFE through Jesus, of which all are invited, of which shall...

Ok..."it is the last day", as you say, but what is it that shall determine the last day? Here are some verses that make it clear: Luke 18:8 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Hebrews 11:6 Revelation 16:9-11

Now, getting back to the title of this thread, "When is Judgment Day?", the following scripture fully describes that one judgment for our death, did commence completely and utterly, in the day when A&E were restricted from partaking of "the Tree of Life". Since then, we all do surely die...

Prior to A&E's eyes being opened to the knowledge of both good and evil, they were closed to the knowledge of both good and evil. If you understand that, and agree with it, then the only other conclusion available, is that they were innocent. However, if somehow you think that A&E were created...

So then, to complete my thoughts as I had stated, the results of A&E's condition, prior to eating of that tree, was that their eyes were not opened to either EVIL OR GOOD, therefore they were innocent.

*Earburner wrote: one must ask: "Did Adam and Eve KNOW that they were more good than God"? Taken replied: Nonsense question. Nothing indicates, that they were, or knew or thought they were. Earburner's reply: *Since you only wanted respond to part of what I wrote, you confined my reasoning...

I would appreciate it if you would copy/paste the complete sentence of what I have written, and not copy/paste only part of it.

Earburner wrote: Compare Genesis 2:16-17 with Genesis 3:7. What would it mean for Adam and Eve to have their eyes/perception closed?? "Taken" replied: "Lack of Understanding". "Earburner's" reply: Correct! Adam and Eve had NO understanding of what the knowledge of good and evil was, before...

Surely you must know that God was very pleased with the results of His creative work! Gen. 1[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. However, if you think that God was calling His Creation good, one must...

Both were ignorant of what good or evil was.

Compare Genesis 2:16 with Genesis 3:7. What would it mean for Adam and Eve to have their eyes/perception closed?? Ans. They were innocent in their ignorance!

You are not listening. No! God was saying that He was pleased with the results of His work! The KNOWLEDGE of GOOD came by way of the same tree that made them to be EVIL. So, if you are going to say that they were "good" before they ate of that tree, then you are going to have to say that they...

I don't argue with that all. Yes, both man and woman are one flesh, and in that they do foreshadow the oneness of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, of whom through faith, is Both the Father and the Son together in us. John 14[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man...
