Many Christians question why God made this or that happen to them. I, personally, find comfort in knowing God...but not all of us do. And as to your last paragraph,,,we will be judged by our works/deed. I don't understand how but Jesus Himself said so more than once. John 5:28

Re your last paragraph.... What causes these "mind conclusions" as you said? Take eternal security...OSAS OS NOT AS OSNAS I like to call it eternal security: either conditional or non-conditional. To me scripture supports CONDITIONAL eternal security... But some verses do seem to tend...

Did you see my post 1035? This is a very important point. If GOD chooses US,,, HOW can we know we are the chosen? Hope an answer comes our way.

What was the father of the prodigal son planning? The prodigal son decided to leave and he also decided to go back. Did his father make him poor? Did his father make him take a job as a pig feeder and tender? As to suffering.... I refer to Romans 8:28 However, I'd also like to say that I don't...

Why did he name himself in the other books? Because they were to those outside Israel? I do believe the Jews liked Paul enough to warn him he was in danger to go back to Jerusalem where he would be jailed. Other than that, I just don't know enough about this. Paul just doesn't seem like the...

I could get them in Italian, but I can't retain much since my mother tongue is English. As to Adam Clark...he was calvinist in theology. When I have a question about something I don't understand I like to ask a person I respect...maybe even a couple. Then I match it up to scripture. I think...

Which "branch"??? I'll let @Marymog answer,,,but there were no branches. In early Christianity there was only one church... the Universal Church which is the Catholic Church. History is history. Every city/region you mentioned above was teaching the same and it was being safeguarded by them.

You're a smart person,,,I'm a little surprised. I'm sure one had some idea or other that may sound strange to us today.... But persons back then couldn't read...they depended on what others read to them and the reputation of the person writing it. The church at that time was careful about what...

Many feel as @marks does....so did I many years ago. There's a 10 volume set I wish I had but I can't get it here. There's a lot online. Unfortunately I became interested in them fter I moved here. They very much confirm scripture. There were a lot of writings back then that were not orthodox...

I like you Brakelite. But you just posted from the books I never hardly read... Hardly ever read. I really don't get what you're saying. But I'm sure it's not good.

I agree that all the above existed in the past. I don't believe it can exist anymore. Right now the CC is in a bad condition. Only time will tell if you're right. It sure doesn't seem like it to me.

Please try not speaking to me.

Since there is NO WAY to know if JESUS CHOSE ME.... I guess I'll stop calling myself a Christian.

Well marks, There's some things I'm not sure about... There's some things I'm sure about... They are called The Early Church Fathers....abbreviated ECFs. A writer could be anyone... A father is the head of something.... the one who is responsible... the one who teaches those that know less...

I've searched the scriptures. There's no such thing as a rapture. This I know for sure.

Right! Especially when you know VERY LITTLE about it!

This is for @Enoch111 too. I don't think ANYTHING could adulterate the Word of God. Whoever wrote a book doesn't really matter...it's what it teaches that's important. As long as Jesus' teachings are correctly stated..what does it matter WHO wrote Hebrews, or any other book? I agree with Paul...

What does "jealous over God's word" mean??
