    Grace vs Legalism

    Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. (Hosea 4:17) Just a thought.

    Agreed, but it does help protect those around you from the emissions caused by a sneeze or a cough.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    It's really quite simple. The Bible foretells that one day we will all come together in the unity of faith. I believe that. The Holy Spirit is due to be poured out on Christ's sheep and concurrently withdrawn from the goats. It is already happening. The problem is the devil is always ready with...

    With So Many Denominations...

    Not so very interesting: But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29) That's why it's called "the great commandment." Matthew 22 36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL...

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    I think we have a lot to learn from each other, period. I've gone (in the exploration of truth in Scripture) far past what my church believes in a crude form of a creed, and since I left the Baptist faith, I've learned way more from Charles Stanley about common grace than I'll ever hear from the...

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    So your vote in a poll would be "no doctrinally pure church" then? I don't by any means intend to put you on the spot (after all, you're certainly not the first one ever to express the sentiment), but that's kinda sad when you think about it. I mean, Israel had the truth--Christ said as much in...

    With So Many Denominations...

    It almost seems like you're trying to get me to break the 5th commandment. Not gonna happen.

    You are so :cool:. I'm serious.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    People mainly ignore your venom, right? Think I'll try that. Bye now.

    Dare I ask this...

    While I appreciate the info you've provided (even the apparent sarcasm about NEWS), you are quite likely incorrect about this because, since (if you go by specific, fairly unchallenged, expert advice) the virus is carried primarily by liquid that is emitted from the mouth and nose when coughing...

    With So Many Denominations...

    I don't regard the Apostles any more than I do Matthew the publican or Luke the physician or any of the penmen of the Old Testament. And I certainly don't regard the students' (of the apostles) opinions for interpretation of Scripture. 2 Peter 1 20knowing this first, that no prophecy of...

    Grace vs Legalism

    But I'm not a Hebrew (that I'm aware of)--I'm a 21st century, Anglo-Saxon Christian. The Modern English Bible has roughly 3/4 million words in it.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    The denomination believes that God has reserved to Himself 7000 who have not bowed the knee to Baal. God has His people in all communions. That is not the issue. This is proving to be quite an interesting experiment.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    Not sure if this is a spanking, affirmation, a little of both, or neither, but coming from you I'll take it and like it regardless.

    Dare I ask this...

    Perhaps, yes.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    You might try a slightly less spammy signature. Just an idea. I don't think I'm going to hate you. Nah; no way.

    Grace vs Legalism

    Except for the other 749,999 words we're supposed to live by.

    Grace vs Legalism

    Any basis for faith that depends on emphasis on one doctrine or passage of Scripture is unbalanced and therefore false. The testimony of the whole Bible must be consulted.

    Dare I ask this...

    You win. I'm a trouble maker.

    Grace vs Legalism

    No, I don't believe in "covered." It's just a word. It's not enough to define a doctrine. David used it. Paul quoted it. I don't get the obsession on either side of the argument.
