Proliferating Christian denominations do not leave the faith; they leave congregations or denominations. A church a friend goes to almost lost a beloved preacher due to staff in-fighting. It is my understanding, during this tumultuous time, he put out feelers to start a new congregation in a...

Hmmm ... I don't know. I am certainly a Catholic apostate. And certainly a trinitarian apostate, as I think you could be also. However, I would not say self-identified Christians are apostate, by definition. Rather, I'd say my favorite Al Sharpton quote; they speak the light as far as they have...

1st, did I reference this? 2nd, the reference to this has nothing to do with what I posted. 3rd, have you taken up my 30-day challenge? If not, don't ever talk about science on this forum again.

Only 3 verses? Also, I think the counselor is confounding things that are separate AS IF what is subjectively important to a person is or ought to be objectively valued equally by by all. So, while I consider ethics objective, it is individual in application. So, regarding the Bible, it is not...

Pure fiction. The geometric analysis of the shroud, which shows numerous images through time, including movement of the foot, chest, and coins has nothing to do with magic. The DNA informational content being 4D, whereas humans can only communicate code in 2D has nothing to do with magic. The...

Rationalization. Of course firstborn of all creation means first created thing. Simple words, plainly spoken. To suppose otherwise is to suppose God is speaking in riddles, in violation of Mark 7:13 and 2 Cor 1:13 (VOICE) We are not writing to you in anything resembling codes or riddles. This...

I don't recall. However, I know it is from cultural evolution. Did I ever tell you the story of my friends' wife from South Korea? He lived in Boston and when she moved there, she went to a Korean Christian Church. I'm certain it was not due to the set of doctrines but her cultural comfort...

I was talking about denominations, not different faiths. It's no different than the problem of sin, generally.

Not really an answer to my simple question. It seems the simple questions trip you up. Implied is that the flag in question invokes a nation's allegience to Christianity. See how you changed the subject from nation, which is from the Great Commission to an individual person?

It's not a nice try; it's an out of the park home run. Jesus is a son, which means a created being. And Scripture specifically says Jesus has a God. This God made Jesus, not merely outright, as all father's make their sons, God made Jesus lord and Savior per Acts 2:36.

Triple negative. Huh? You are saying that a picture of Being A is Being A. Simplifying the sentence - and stating things properly. It is right to say that no image is WHO the Being the image is of because the image is not a WHO.

I'm not stumbling at all - you are. There is one subject in the paraphrase sentence, "He" (Referring to God). There are 3 objects which He is acting on, created: man the Son of Man his own image Consider the simple sentence, "I cut my own hair." The subject is I. And "I" is acting on the...

Na ah sweetheart. You posted what is not suspected. The not is a twisted knot in what IS being said. So, what are you suspecting? What is this, I am a man, business? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Huh? I haven't heard such doublespeak since I read 1984.

Ironic because that is what you are doing. Invalid question. An image is a WHAT not a WHO. Subjects are not objects of sentences. An image of WHO does not change the nature of an image being a WHAT. Also, basic reading comprehension, converses are not equivalent. Joe of Maryland is not...

What do you suspect they are thinking of?

I pointed this out to AJ a few months back 1 COR 1:10 is not a command but a lament (I appeal to you). They only reason Paul wrote 'live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.' is because there was no such thing...

Hmmm. I think you know that I am fond of denomination and deny, for the most part, these are false teachers or prophets. My position is the various denominations primarily have a different focus. For instance, Catholics have a crucifix that has Jesus still on the cross to focus on the...

I remember that one. Too funny!

Hmmm. There is no "became the Christ" verse. What I cited was the announcment before his birth that he IS the Christ. The notion of 'becoming' is very Western. See Oswald's Spengler's Decline of the West. David was anointed king 2 decades before he became - or was crowned - king. Sure, the...
