    Why would it offend me? 1 Corinthians 3 Sectarianism Is Carnal 1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not...

    Along as we don't cross over into Hellenistic (Greek) Dualism, I'm fine.

    Grace vs Legalism

    Justification is the erasing of our sin(s) replaced with Christ's constant righteousness (righteous acts or works) throughout his eathly sojourn, nothing more, nothing less. It is a zero-sum transaction, if you will. We agree to trade our bad stuff for His good stuff. Period. And for every...

    Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) from "The Maltese Falcon" Victorian era was even better. Best modern speakers and writers for Christ. Moody, Spurgeon. E.M. Bounds, etc.

    Grace vs Legalism

    You're speaking of something resembling forensic justification, and if you look into it, you'll find it's fairly mystical and not spiritually viable. Justification is purely substitutional. The entire scope of atonement, on the other hand, is a different story. For me the bottom line on...

    I only brought it up to explain why I see a lot of video teaching/preaching but I get your point and appreciate it.

    Okay, I will. This is Christ... Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)...

    The Acts church was a denomination. They were distinct from other brands of worship. They even had a label: "Christian"

    By the way, young children most certainly do need to memorize the Bible. And if being in agreement with you meant that I would have your sunny disposition, I'll pass, thanks. You probably won't be bothered with my 'talk' for much longer, the way things are going, at least not to you, personally...

    Wow, it's like you didn't even read the quote you, yourself, provided.

    I'm sorry. When I said "preacher" I didn't mean the pastor of my local church. I'm disabled, so I see alot of preaching on TV, YouTube, etc. I enjoy a wonderful kinship with my pastor.

    Well, actually... Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. (Philippians 2:3)
