Maybe you should try reading what you yourself have written Prentis, if you really didn't mean what your statements imply. What you said that got my attention originally was this... "For one, that means leave everything he can't bring with him to go live with the brethren... For another, it...

Same to you brother!

Islam is not the 'beast' of Rev.13, though it certainly appears today it ought to be. Radical Islam that wants to destroy Israel and the western Christian nations is allied with world Communism. That's why Russia has military advisors in Syria, Iran, and ships weapons to Islamic terrorists all...

According to what you believe then, it would lead one to think that even our Heavenly Father Himself must be flesh! A still deeper study in the New Testament Greek will reveal that spirit and soul can be separated from the flesh body, but one's spirit and soul cannot be separated from each...

For those who'd like to know the answer to that per God's Word, and not men's doctrines, the answer is this... Christ's second coming includes His gathering of His faithful saints, and the start of His and their literal reign on this earth. It begins with Christ's Millennium unto everlasting...

That looks like men's doctrines of Hyper-Dispensationalism... or worse, doctrines of Orthodox Judaism... [/left] Christ Jesus ended the Old Covenant, and brought The New Covenant in His Blood shed upon the cross. And the foundation of His Church rests upon that, as also do the Apostles and...

Prayer, Bible study, more prayer, until the desire that causes temptation is replaced by something better and more useful.

No Scripture foundation for that either. Nowhere that I know of is it written that all believers are called to sell everything they own to follow Christ. Nor was that for all in His Church at the time of Paul either, which that 2 Cor.8 Scripture proves. Leave everything? What about one's...

Hasn't this been the subject of other threads here? Since we're discussing it again... I agree, God is no respecter of persons as written. Just look at Old Testament history about the nation of Israel falling away from Him to Baal worship and that will easily be seen. God's Israel today is His...

The idea that Christ comes to 'rapture' His Church, and then great tribulation begins on earth, is not Scriptural. That's actually the Pre-tribulational Rapture theory. It's a doctrine of men started in 1830's Britain by the Edward Irving Church and John Darby, and the witness taken from a...

But your last paragraph is... about rules, which are your own I must say. There is no such command in Scripture for those in Christ Jesus to live a literal "communal life", for that's the idea of asceticism. And along with the idea of asceticism is the idea of one giving up all they materially...

We should study The Bible first by reading it, while always praying to The Father that He open up His Word to us in understanding. That's always the first step. The condition of our mind and heart with Him is extremely important. We can't fool our Heavenly Father. Understanding only comes from...

This isn't another masked debate between the principles of Socialism and Imperialism-Capitalism or the idea of nations, is it? Paul's Epistles are clear that those in Christ's Church have the duty of charity, but selling all one has there is no such requirement in order to fulfill bearing one's...

That's not the context of how He used the idea of a "generation" in Matt.24:34. I'm well aware of the different definitions for the word generation. Antiochus IV served as a sign of past history for the "abomination of desolation" type event, yet... Antiochus IV was not the one Christ was...

That's pretty much a belief in Salvation of this present fleshy world you're pushing. It also denies the following in 1 Cor.15 where you failed to continue with... 1 Cor 15:44-51 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual...

Any one of those 3 choices by theirself is not the answer. Rev 3:17-19 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in...

You'll have to go into the Greek more to understand on what level John is speaking. John even gave a hint with saying "for his seed remaineth in him" about those born of God. The word "sin" there appears as two different Greek words. The first is put for 'a sin (properly abstract) (harmartia -...

Not trying to change your personal belief on Pre-trib if that's what you're determined to follow. The Rev.16:15 verse is linked with the events Paul and Peter covered with the time of Christ's coming "as a thief". There is no other Scripture time link to that "as a thief" idea other than for...

None of us should be pushing specific doctrines of men relying on denominational creeds of men. All true Christian denominations will have things in common because of staying with what's written in God's Word. Additional doctrines added beyond the Scripture is how divisions among Christ's Body...

ALL those type references Jesus The Christ gave were for while He was on earth in a flesh body like ours. His Spirit was still God's Spirit even then though. But a separateness was shown at His first coming for the purpose of the crucifying of His given flesh body. The Hebrews Scripture points...
