I wouldn't say your number 3 above can be considered mainline. I have no statistics, but I find that only holiness churches or fundamental churches believe all non-Christians will go to the other place. Maybe it's right to state MAINLINE.....I don't know. Do you have any statistics?

I agree. Just want to say that whether it's the name or the title...it is still referring to the ONE GOD. If there were more than one God then the NAME becomes important... but since there is only one...however we refer to Him will all be the same. God has many titles... It would still be...

Matthew, I'd like to say this in a really nice way but don't if I'll be able to.... You are a very unusual Christian - let's put it that way. You call stating that God is to be honored AN OPINION of mine? Have you read the bible? Do you believe any of it? Are you here just to bother real...

Of course. And this goes to what I just posted to @Debp .... The news agency are all of the left - but not only of the left - they've been feeding us lies for years and years, not just with the Biden administration, and this helps to concretize the weird ideas that the extreme left is pushing on...

I agree with you. I've noticed a big change in him. You're a Californian and may not even know Trump that much. I'm a New Yorker and have known him (about him) for many many years. He definitely is more humble. A life changing experience will do that. I just wish he would stick more the the...

The 613 laws of the OT. 603 of which are obsolete.

WHAT are you talking about?? Any reference to GOD is a reference to GOD. If someone refers to you as MatthewG isn't it the same as saying the son of ..................(your mother's name). It's still YOU.

You mean my math is wrong? OK 603 laws were abolished. 10 remain.

You're right. Taking the name of God in vain means more than just misusing it. It also means that we shouldn't say it for silly reasons. This takes the taking of God's name in vain ONE STEP UP.... Because of this, all the more we shouldn't pronounce God's name unless its for honor or worship or...

The above is true. Jesus said our righteousness had to surpass that of the Pharisees. How? They worshipped in outward appearance. Jesus said our very heart must be changed. We had to change from the inside out. Happy to provide verses if necessary, but I don't think they will be. Adultery was...

I agree. But I think that maybe it's meant in a more concrete way. Maybe Jesus meant it to be a real Kingdom with real people that could make the world be a better place. Spiritual, yes, but also more if we could only be in accord and live the life He meant for us. I think that Jesus came for...

You don't ever go DOWN to a person's level... you always bring him UP to yours. You're supposed to be an example of what Jesus taught. In any language, and with any name of God,,,you DO NOT take His name in vain... WHATEVER that name is. And you don't think exclaming JESUS CHRIST! is a...

Right on all counts. Right on what YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID means.... It means there's a change coming. Jesus had the authority to change whatever He wanted to... HE WROTE THE LAW....I mean the 10 commandments. Also, yes, to fulfill means to make complete.

I'm back!! I think you're getting THE LAW mixed up with the law. The law, the 10 commandments, will always be in force. THE LAW,,,,the 613 rules/regulations/commandments is no longer in force.

This is true in many cases and the first thing an exorcist does is to determine if there are mental issues at play and if not, then the case is continued. The church (the CC) does not take exorcism lightly and makes every provision to make sure its a real possession.

Jesus established a Kingdom. It was spiritual and He spoke about it a lot. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Luke 17:20-21 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The...

There are 3 signs a possessed person has: 1. supernatural strength - strength beyond what the person should normally have. 2. speaking in a foreign tongue the person should not know. 3. knowing something in the past about the person doing the exorcism...or any other person in the room.

They are just words? How a person speaks is representative of who they are. @Zeth4500 brings up an interesting topic. I do hear some that profess themselves to be Christian taking the name of God in vain - and I'll limit this to just cursing right now - Putting God in a sentence or a few words...

Well, as you know, I'm not here to defend any denomination... but, in all honesty, the CC is trying to change. For the better. Too late maybe. But for other reasons. What the other member is discussing happened in the dark ages.... when the church was too embroiled in matters of state. Big mistake.

LOL Women! :balloons: Trying again! But I might still come back...
