My case rests.

Indeed, that is a myth. And it's another you are perpetuating. Evangelicalism doesn't believe a man can figure out anything on his own any more than you do. They also have teachers and pastors, and if anyone of them has any sense, which I believe some do but perhaps not all, they will compare...

And yet those same Gentiles asked Paul... KJV Acts 13 Preaching to the Gentiles 42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the...

You are perpetuating a myth that inspired the church of the dark ages to wage war on the scriptures while claiming those same scriptures as the basis for that same war. And resulting in the deaths of many because they upheld scripture above the doctrines and commandments of man, and the...

Perhaps you might want to look at why God raised up those Sola churches and the long unlimited apostate history of the mainline churches... I'm grateful I did.

"Thus sayeth the church" is precisely as if you are placing your eternal destiny in the hands of finite sinful men no more interested in your eternal welfare than the hedgehog under my house. "Thus sayeth the Lord" is placing your eternal destiny in the God who promises His Spirit to lead and...

Yes, exactly. And every fingerprint. And every past life experience which bring us to where we are and make us who we are. And God is totally and utterly in love with each and every one of us. Whoever we are. Wherever we are. And He doesn't want to make us all replicas and clones of one another...

This discussion/thread is the reason so many people like @FHII get fed up with forums and leave. No-one listens. No-one really looks seriously at another perspective to understand their perspective, but would rather just jump in with their "you don't understand the Bible' and differing...

I don't want to sound flippant, but none of us belong in this world do we. But we stay because deep down in our hearts we know we have something to contribute... Something positive to offer that might tip the balance in someone's life. So we labor and we fight and we persist and we keep moving...

Government and church, at least in principle, are supposed to be different independent institutions with different agendas and mission. In an ideal world neither tax or tithe would be necessary. But, I pay tax because I have to, I pay tithe because I want to. There were long extended periods of...

Perhaps the Christ you keep bringing up is a different Christ. He's a stumbling stone to those who don't believe. You seem to be using him to trip up those that do.

In Revelation 14 the work for the last days church is described. KJV Revelation 14 The Harvest of the Earth 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people...

Some old dude was arrested recently somewhere in Europe for farting. Serious.

I saw, or didn't see, the same thing. But I thought, that's typical of mjr and yep, them is Meeting together Having a form of organisation Having scripture as the basis for faith and practice Jesus is who scripture says He is. Every institution on the planet has a means by which members...

Agree totally. Without apology, shame, embarrassment or caveat. And that there are Christians who believe they can live the Christian Life without any on those things is all too obvious when you dare to buck the trend by promoting them. Just watch.

And many more don't care enough.

My son in law was the principal of a Christian School. My daughter a qualified teacher. She home schooled my grandchildren until such time as she ended up being asked to work full time at the same school. Public curriculum, no matter where you come from, presents a worldview in direct...

For 160 years Adventists have been teaching and warning that the time will come when opportunity and societal conditions allow, Christians in America will influence government to reintroduce blue laws/Sunday laws, legislating the cessation of work on Sundays, and that this will then escalate to...

they have power over their own... Limited power over those whom God is calling. Yes, I have witnessed demon possession. But I don't know of any scripture that says anyone or anything in heavenly places, much less heaven itself, is an enemy.
