Logic is good. We have to read scripture... but we also need to UNDERSTAND it. Matthew 22:37

Oh. Yeah. That's as clear as mud. Maybe you'd like to meet Fra' Lorenzo? I'm just happy more than one person understands this.

God created and it went forward.... The watermelon rather reminded me of those that want to say that the gun shot the person....take the guns away and all will be OK. NO! The person shot the person. I do agree with you that there is some predestination because God WILL achieve His ultimate...

Hmmm. This requires some thought. I feel like we're saying the same thing, but not saying the same thing! What came first... The decreeing or the knowing what will happen??! Something one teacher insists on when I say that God knew something from the beginning.... God knew it but not until...

Enoch is talking about scripture. He just didn't post it... everything he said is biblical and has verses.

Wow. Very good, I just went through it quick. Here's why I think it's important. There was a guy on another forum that would go on for PAGES about ONE WORD. There's someone here that is about the same..actually more than one person... The point is that we can't hang on every word in the N.T...

I do agree that we have to come to our own understanding of this. You've gone to seminary and have gone through this thoroughly, I'm sure. I've also studied this a lot with teachers. I've come to understand that there's a difference between allowing evil and causing it. I think we agree on...

part 2 of 2 Now, we'll see why your post is to my advantage. Just look at the title, and please note that this was written BEFORE Pope Francis' exhortation of 2016.... Your post clearly states that changes CANNOT BE MADE to those who OBSTINATELY PERSEVERE IN GRAVE SIN...as those that are...

Good evening BoL... Once again, you have posted links to MY ADVANTAGE and we shall soon learn why. As usual,,,you DID NOT post the source, but I see you'd like to get involved in CANON LAW. No Mr. BoL...we are not heading down the path of canon law since I am not a CANONICAL atty and NEITHER...

I've noticed that there's always a lot of talk about persons in calvinist discussions. For instance, I know who Arminius was, but I don't really know too much about him or what he taught. Then I hear about Pelagius...ditto. I know more about Augustine because he was catholic and so was I, but...

Oh,,,I just saw post no. 783. Yeah...it was a misunderstanding... No problem.

Hmmm. I think I missed all that. Jesus did not put Peter in charge for nothing... This means that Jesus put Peter in charge FOR SOMETHING. Because He wanted Peter to be the head of the church... Because He trusted Peter for reasons we can only guess with some intelligent knowledge of Peter. I...

Yes, I believe we agree on the history of the title of Pope. Francis is indeed the Bishop of Rome. The Bishop of Rome quickly became the most influential bishop due to the importance of Rome. Other important bishops were also called PAPA which is why it was determined that ONLY the Bishop of...

OK. So Luke writes his gospel and some church in Demascus would like a copy. How to get a copy? Somebody has to get the papyrus,,,,pay someone to copy it, or copy it themselves. NO PROFESSIONALS SCRIBES AROUND...like for the O.T. when EVERY WORD in each sentence was counted to make sure they...

I have my idea....but it is MY idea and not sure I should even post it...although it does not go against scripture. Let's see what bb thinks....

Right. For me, I can only say that I TRY to live by what I believe. I priest I know always says that we're only creature....which means creatures in English. (surprise, surprise!) We can only do our best bb. Not more.... and we need the help of God even for that.

If it's the body and blood of Christ,,,then it IS God ! Transubstantiation....it become, literally, Christ. Have you considered the reverence that is given to the host? Some priests refuse to give it in the hand. It it falls everyone gasps. Some have said to bleed... etc.

Depends which church you attend... just like everything else. Jesus said: THIS IS MY BODY. Jesus said: THIS IS MY BLOOD. He said to remember this. Your verses have nothing to do with this concept, IMO. I'm saying we cannot know something like this FOR SURE. Even Luther believed in the real...

G, when you post words that are not yours, you really should post the source...plus if gives readers the oppty to read the entire article. You should really start a thread on this...it's extremely important and interesting... But anyway... Two people have been joined by God when one of His...

No...there are not 51 discrepancies. It means 50 manuscripts were found before this one. and more were found after this one. The first "original" manuscript they found was numbered P1. Papyrus 1st one Then P2 etc. Papyrus means "paper" Something flat they wrote on. if it was a scroll it...
