    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Who deluded the world? Did you ever read Krishna? They had whole countries that followed them and still do. Jesus said, if they are not against us, they are for us. God has one message.....

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Yes H, But can we base our faith on something? Is it a Reasonable faith? These are very important questions. I was answered questions a person had for Hours! I couldn't just keep saying that our beliefs are based on faith and Jesus spoke to our heart. In this way,,,,we'd never be able to...

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Didn't Jesus give this authority to the apostles in John 29:23?

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    You may just be right after all.... If we only had the "original" letters and gospels. How do you explain that Jesus forgave sin? Can't only God forgive sin?

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    A, I think what @Marymog means, and I'd have to agree with her premise, is that we are told to be ready to give an answer 1 Peter 3:15 So, let's say someone asked you WHY you believed in Jesus.... You would say that He spoke to your heart? He speaks to all the hearts of the born again...

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    No one ever claimed to be God except Jesus. This is one of the reasons Christianity is different from all other religions. I mean "sent of God"....He was a Godly figure that tried to make man aspire to his higher self. Krishna would be another one... Maybe others but those are the two I know best.

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Even benny hinn does miracles! And there have been others sent of God.... Buddha etc. None of them ever came back from the dead. And the Apostles died for their belief.

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Simple as pie. At least the way I make it. Jesus resurrection. Proving He's God. And how do I know it happened? The Apostles tell me so. If I can't trust the Apostles, I might as well not be Christian. I can get into this much much more.... but that's basically it. "And who do YOU say that...

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    Good question! I'm starting to think not much is written in a lot of person's heart. I DO NOT MEAN AMADEUS!!!!! I just heard that we could TURN OUR BACK ON GOD and still be saved. It's the OSAS doctrine. It's straight out of hell. Satan couldn't figure out a better way how to get people lost...

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    It's all we have to go on. 1 John 1:1-4 We also need writings outside of scripture for those who really want to study the bible and those times. Oh. And it's really all we need if we're only interested in what God wants us to know about Him that will allow us to walk with Him and be with Him...

    Why isn't the shroud of turin in the bible

    You bring up an interesting question. The Apostles Peter and John got to the tomb first. I mean, after Mary M. told them Jesus was missing. They found the cloth covering Jesus in the tomb. Could it be that it was marked with His body and they did NOT mention it? I just want to say that the...

    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    Doesn't Vicar mean representative? vicar (in the Roman Catholic Church) a representative or deputy of a bishop. I mean, are we arguing over a title now? A priest or a pastor are also representatives of God. Is this wrong?? Are WE not representatives of God in our daily lives? We have a bishop...

    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    I do believe that if we talk bad of others, it IS a sin --- even if what we say is true. We're not supposed to spread gossip,,,even if it's true. What I believe the Pope was saying is that if someone is going to act like an atheist then he should not call himself a Christian. You DO bring up a...

    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    I had read Barnes commentary many years ago and this is how I understand it. It was explained once that they (Apostles) had to authority to know who to include in the new Church, and who not to include. But then I hear some things spoken of in the same commentary that I know are not true...

    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    HOW would you explain John 20:23? I agree that God only forgives sin and the CC also believes this. It's not the priest forgiving the sin, he's only declaring that it's forgiven. However, John 20:23 is problematic for me.

    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    OK I agree with the above and have said this several times. Of course he needs a wall. But so does EVERY country.... Look where I live - I can't tell you how things have changed. I think of a country as being like a home...do we keep our front door open?

    NO. I just need an example. I can't think of anything....
