    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Interesting observation. I would like to offer a further perspective. Israel, whilst in Egypt, were in bondage... Slavery to very hard taskmasters. Then came the Passover... The type to Calvary. When the destroying angel visited those homes, he didn't look at the characters and lifestyles of...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    I would say that simple physics answers that. When the fuel (bodies) runs out, so will the fire. See? Simple.

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    It's amazing how the imagination can compromise biblical integrity in order to justify preconceived opinions.

    Who founded your church?

    Indeed He did. A holy church. A church with only one Master... One head, even Christ Himself. Sadly, one small branch of that holy church divorced itself from her Husband by making another... The emperor and other kings of the earth in unholy relationships which resulted in the wicked use of...

    Who founded your church?

    You need to dig a lot deeper rather than superficially scratching the surface and coming to a conclusion based on hope rather than truth. Did not Papal Rome inherit its seat, its power, and great authority from pagan Rome? Revelation 13:2 And the beast (Antichrist) which I saw was like unto a...

    Who founded your church?

    The Catholic Church meets all the criteria, yes. It is impossible for Protestant churches to meet all the criteria. Some of the criteria go back nearly 2000 years...as you say, Protestantism as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon. They do meet some of the criteria, some more so...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    While it should most certainly concern us regarding our ultimate destiny, I think it also important to understand the true Bible doctrine regarding the state of the dead currently. All around us we have demonic forces teaching mankind through various agencies such as Hollywood and education...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    Decapitation is an amusing pastime for those who know everything.

    Who founded your church?

    No, as there are many individual Catholics living up to the best light they have and are sincere Christians who love Jesus. So while the denomination as a whole isn't of Antichrist, the system of sacramentalism and ritualism, her history and dogmas, her roots and ambitions, and the prophetic...

    Who founded your church?

    Mary, I suggested you read Romans chapter 6. You clearly didn't, believing your knowledge of you own church's false theories would suffice. 1 ¶ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3...

    Who founded your church?

    Nice try. Now read verse 27. "behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.... Here is a man of...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Any concept that denies Genesis. Dust plus Spirit=living soul.

    Who founded your church?

    How can a church be a "true church' and at the same time meet all the criteria as Antichrist?

    Who founded your church?

    You aren't serious surely. You believe that because I think the old man dies in Christ, meaning as the scripture says, "buried with Him by baptism in death"...that by applying that to the old man, is merely a personal interpretation and not in keeping with what scripture says? If it isn't the...

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    There would be depths to anything Jesus says that would differ from person to person. What it means to and for me is that in order for me to live with the true Master, my greatest battle is against self. His saying may mean something else for you.

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    KJV 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    I am well aware of their apostasy and venture to suggest their current sojourn as a nation as a people who are no longer the privileged caretakers of the oracles of God is permanent. Their house is no longer God's house, it has been left to them desolate and will remain so. Any attempts to...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    Even the Ten Commandments are promises. They must necessarily be so, because God knows we have no power. In the words of one author: All that God requires is what He gives. When He says, 'Thou shalt not', we may take it as His assurance that if we believe Him He will preserve us from the sin...

    Who founded your church?

    Not so. Baptism doesn't kill us...we don't drown in baptism. We are only buried in baptism. We need to be dead before being buried. We can "die" weeks before baptism. We can be born again before baptism, but baptism seals the deal through our obedience and willingness to publicly declare our...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    I'll answer the last question first. Is the new Covenant better than the old? Absolutely. And here's why. Covenants and testaments are based on promises and agreements between two or more parties, and the covenant is predicated on the faithfulness and relational integrity of each party. Should...
