Yes. This is always the reply. But if we accept this explanation....then how do we distinguish between what Jesus meant methphorically and what He meant in a more literal sense? Is Matthew 7:24 also metphorical? Did Jesus mean to teach us something by it?

FJ The formation of the canon came al at once - like lightening. What you're speaking of is THE WRITINGS that were in circulation --- THOSE took hundreds of years. But they had to be gathered up and it had to be decided which would make it into the NT and which would not. To be honest, I wish...

It's WRONG Truther. Because it's not what JESUS said to do. I tend to obey what Jesus says.....

Right. I'm still working on it. Wherever the road leads me.... that's where I'll go. I was Catholic Then Protestant Now I realize neither is totally right.

That's a bit much for 10.30 PM! Maybe I'll go thru it quick and then, if you want, maybe more tomorrow. THE EUCHARIST (remember, I'm not Catholic - I do know the doctrine). Read John 6:53....in Greek it means to chew. In any case, it means TO EAT. Check out Strong's --- The same word is used...

Amen to that brother! You got that right! It's used, INCORRECTLY, by those that want to say that God chose who will be saved. You hit the nail on the head.

This is too funny EG. I'm shocked TTYTT. You even know about Romans 9 and all....not many do. So which pagan heresy do you think the CC is following??

This is good. Keep living like this. It's good. Just don't think YOU are the only one and tell everyone else they just don't understand.

No Truther. @BreadOfLife is correct on this. What you don't seem to be able to grasp is the difference between a TYPE and a FORM of baptism. In the Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit is a FORM,,,,words that are said to baptize. Jesus gave this instruction in Matthew 28:19 when...

When you're on ONE TRACK.... You never get off.... and that's all you can speak to.... that's ranting. Whether if be of worldly paradigms or of God. People will tire of it and stop listening to you.

Cute! The above is of no interest to me PS. People seem to get stuck on very particular teachings. The reason I don't care for the reformed faith is because it changes the nature of God. Who's Jacob Arminius? Never read him.... Don't know what he believed... I read the NT and the ECFs up to...

In Romans 9 the NT actually states that God was using the Gentiles to cause envy to the Jews. I can't get into this right now.... Romans 11:11

It's a mystery to me why anyone posts t persons that say weird things. I must be getting old because I can hardly stand it anymore. Sometimes I feel like Christianity is going to have a bad end with all these weird ideas floating around.

I'd need to know the difference between a heresy and incorrect doctrine. The CC saved Christianity from MANY heresies, so I don't know what you mean that those of the reformation took some Catholic heresies with them. Do you mean predestination?

Hmmm. Could it be that I misunderstood you? I'll be reading along. As to the rest..... I don't reply to rants.... If you care to post scripture....I just might respond (not sure).

Jesus said many things we pay little attention to. He also said we should be of one mind. You're a tough cookie Bread. But I know we agree on more than you may think.

I read your post on Epiphanus. It's not enough and it doesn't really say too much. Another member sent me a lot of stuff that I printed out. You made a statement about early writings and councils that didn't sound right.... it could have been the way you wrote it --- I know you're very...

Are you for real??? Is this all you know?? :sleeping:

Like I said Bread....I won't be debating with you. I'm not too sure God is happy about all this debating. I WILL discuss important topics, which to me are - maybe - 3: Eternal Security and how its misunderstood. Incorrect statements made about the CC. Calvinism. As you know from years...

Men's teachings, and after 1,500 years of Christianity, will always be off. The teachings of John Calvin and others like him (Knox, Zwigly) have actually changed the very nature of God. Getting some doctrine or other wrong can be acceptable, but getting God's character wrong is not...
