Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; Phil. 2:6

Are you saying that someone who comes back from a war with his arms and legs blown off was killed in combat? read the bible as it is written not as you wish it to be. To be saved means to be passed over from the judgment and wrath on the world. But there remains the judgment seat of Christ...

The verse says ANYONE may eat...and not die...it does not say anyone may eat and be forever in glory. Check your interpretation again against he whole bible.

The issue is not with salvation itself....all believers will be spared the wrath that will come on the world. It is the QUALITY of that salvation in regards to us. How can we compare ruling and reigning with Christ as His Bride with being spit out of His mouth to wander in nakedness and shame in...

The doctrine of just war was put forth by St. Augustine. He recognized that God never commands only 'non-resistance', or 'pacificism', or whatever you want to call it. There is no lie like the bald-faced lie. Don't forget we actually read the bible....we are permitted to do that. Mat_5:39 But...

The true church has always been built on the blood of the saints...not on the religious zeal of those willing to murder. You may be confusing Jesus with Mohammad.

Yes, of course! :)

Again you are seeing through the physical carnal understanding. Jesus does not have mongol hordes for followers. The sword is the truth....not the physical implement that takes away life. Try marinating on that!

The church is actually the called out ones from this world. Whenever the bible mentions forefathers it is usually in a negative light...as in the sins of your fathers. But in every generation God calls a people out of the world's clutches and brings them to Zion.

You said it....the human institutions are of this world. They follow the world.

What comes out of the bowels of every movement brings elimination of what was once ingested. This is very human!

Those places of abiding are for right now!!!! Jesus doesn't say...one day you will abide in Me and I in you! He says we should abide NOW! So the abodes are awaiting those with faith and surrender at this very moment in Zion...in the heavenlies.

Yeah, the Inquisition was small potatoes....

The way to life is narrow and few find it. Christianity has never been a numbers game. Jesus rejected the masses who sought to make Him a king. Jesus Christ does not receive glory from men.

I don't see anyone protesting the renewal of empty Catholic steeple buildings into condominiums, boutiques, and libraries. ;) I represent a growing number of Christians that are coming out of man guided religious institutions in order to follow the faith of Christ handed down to the apostles.

...or inventing something for convenience sake... ;)

Your error lies in thinking that the New Covenant is also according to the physical world as the Old Testament was. The New Covenant is about a new birth into a spiritual reality of life in Christ Jesus.....not an external religious system. Those who embark on the external interpretation of the...

We are not to do as the Pharisees...that is the point that is being lost. Disobedience does not need to carry over in the new testament.

There is a big difference between God using men and men using God.

Jesus Christ is the Head of the church that Jesus Christ instituted. Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. One can try to make up a religion that puts men in the driver's seat.....but that is NOT...
