There's a hierarchy in the CC and I don't particularly care for it because pride goes to mens heads no matter who they are...even christians. But the way they're set up, and due to the size of the church, it's needed. I like the idea of houses, but I don't think it would work anymore. I don't...

We're all meeting atheists. I find some are better than some christians I know. But some call themselves christians and then don't live it. I guess we shouldn't concern ourselves with this...

LOL Don't make one batch of all hay! Even atheists are not all the same.

Don't we need a bldg? The robes, etc. are good to have around. Know why? I've taught our faith to kids and it helps them to SEE the faith we have. It's a visible sign of God's presence. It makes them remember things when they get older. Maybe some adults need this too? I don't understand...

Of course it's easier. It's done also without the spirit for atheists who have high moral values---but of course it's of no difference to God. As to the rest, I respect your ideas and won't debate this with you.

I agree with the above... But what about verse 16? Doesn't it specifically say that we are not to be told what day to celebrate? Will you return to the 10 commandments reasoning for the answer? Is this the most important answer? What about this: The Sabbath was a ceremonial law. Ceremonial law...

No such luck. He's a catholic deacon. I must say that I know him personally (he's a neighbor of my daughter) and we're very in tune with how we believe. He's very spiritual and we have no problem discussing things. I also know some priests personally (3). With one of them I could discuss...

I know exactly what your speaking about. Re Acts, I mean. I also understand about the Sabbath being the sign of the Mosaic Covenant. It has now changed to the Eucharist, or some theologians believe baptism. Personally, I believe it should be the Eucharist,,,or Communion,,,or the Body and Blood...

LOL Sacrifices in the O.T. were for unknown sins. So you think you don't lie? Have you ever told a white lie? Have you ever lied to avoid an argument? Have you ever lied so as not to give a 15 minute explanation? I have...if you never do...you're a better woman than I'll ever be. I've had to...

I go to Mass at times. I study with a monk about 40 minutes from my home with about 15 others. When he mentions certain things I just shut my ears....what can I do? But 90% of everything he says lines up with what we believe.. God is one, after all. I go to a small bible study with a Deacon I...

You're BOTH right! It states that we are free to worship God as we see fit and our understanding of it. We can eat what we want...worship when we want... But in another place, which I won't look for right now, Paul also says that we should NOT eat sacrificed meat if it will damage a...

All sin is deliberate. Which sin do you commit that you don't know about? And, perhaps this is why commandments are necessary? All those sins you've listed in your first paragraph I am doing as we speak... It's just that your understanding of sin is different from mine. You somehow feel you...

I'll bet we agree on more than you think. Calvinism changes the nature of God. God does NOT change.... He is love, and mercy, and justice. There are so many verses on this that I never know which ones to pick when speaking to them. Anyway, it makes no difference. John 3:16 should...

This doesn't apply to me. Look where I live. I don't even have a Protestant church near me. There is even a Mass at the CC on Saturday afternoon at 6 pm! Go figure. I've just recently started to understand your view on the Sabbath being a commandment we might be breaking if it WAS NOT changed...

I do believe this is true! I find that many, if not most, democrats do not believe in God or His ways. If they did, they wouldn't be Democrats... I DO want to say that this was not true back in the 50's, 60's and maybe even the 70's. I don't know when the change happened, but it did...

You keep doing it... You say that you see that I don't understand. MAYBE YOU don't understand?? If we no longer have a sin nature... why do we sin?

Words. Whatever... Don't eternal and everlasting mean the same?? eternal ɪˈtəːn(ə)l,iːˈtəːn(ə)l/ adjective 1. lasting or existing forever; without end. "the secret of eternal youth" sinonimi: everlasting, never-ending, endless, without end, perpetual, undying, immortal, deathless...

So? They're still brothers in Christ. We could disagree on something and still be brothers. They might even think I'm lost...it doesn't change that we should love them. I have a big problem with Calvinists....I can understand other beliefs even though I might not agree with them.

Good thinking!

Great post, as usual. I have just recently learned about the competition between God's Law and Jesus' Law (supposedly). As if Jesus represented a different God, or as if HE did not obey the commandments and created His own. Jesus took the commandments at hand and brought them to a heart...
