The cups of the seder and the meal in general Is what interests me. Some years ago I did a small study on the cups of the seder meal and I remember that Jesus did not drink the last cup,,,the 3rd or 4th,,,with the Apostles.

Very sound reasoning BB and I agree. Paul thought out the theology of what would become the new religion/faith after the new Jewish sect got banned from the synagogue about 30 years after the ascension. This theology could be found in the book of Romans. Just 2 thoughts: 1. There are those...

Correct.

Could you please expound on the above??

Why not follow the standard so we know what you're speaking of?: church,,,,,the establishment Church,,,,the saved ones, or, as Carholics say, the communion of saints. I so wish we all spoke the same language.

Denominations came about after the reformation. Before that, any teachings that did not agree with The existing church were considered heresy. The reason councils were held was to clarify teachings. I'm not saying I agree with all doctrine of the CC as it is today, however in the beginning it...

Bishops were not only the head of elders, they were the head of an entire region or large city.

Agreed. But, question: Why do you say to follow Paul? I follow Jesus, He's the One that went to the cross.

Truther The original church no longer exists,,,even the one you attend does not follow the church of Acts. What I'm saying is that THE WAY and THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, AKA THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Is the church that can be traced back to Acts. You don't have to believe this but it's plain history...

God was with God is a correct understanding. Can't remember if I mentioned this to you... Word is translated for logos. We have no english word for Logos. It means the spoken word, it means the reasoning power... GOD'S logos is God, of course. Our "logos" is human. God's logos became flesh...

Why Isaiah 9.6? If Jesus is Also God Father, then those that say He was praying to Himself while on earth are right. Also, if Father was on earth, who was upholding the universe and all in it?

I wish GE We use a different language depending on which church we attend. It's very much divisional.

We do all with faith.

Sometimes I think it's impossible to speak about the Godhead/Trinity ! I wish we could all use the same language - even if there's disagreement.

have to sign off... Are the modern writers you ascribe to infallible? Who do you think wrote the N.T.? Who do you think gathered the books and assembled it? Since it was infallible men...maybe we should stop reading it altogether? Why trust anyone since no one is infallible.... HOW could we...

Your church has a Capital C --- so I agree with you. If the Catholic Church was not the original church (small c) then which one was it in your opinion? And I'm not speaking about the current Catholic Church which is not recognizable from the original Catholic Church.

Agreed. And I believe the word ESSENTIAL is key. There are also false teachings which do not qualify as heretical.

You wouldn't know that the persons in the Trinity speak to each other because you do not care to learn or understand the Trinity. As to my spreading heresy... Christianity was defined right after Jesus died and was resurrected when the Apostles taught what He taught. It's not up to US to...

There IS only One True God. Christianity believes there is only one God. Did you think there are 3 gods in the Godhead?
