That was not a field promotion. It was an order (a commandment)....and a court martial is coming. You are out of order.

Let me say it another way: It is the tradition of the Catholic denomination to revere a substitute for Christ on earth, against His commandments.

One thing at a time: I do not know all the details of the Protestant movement, but I suspect that we share a kindred spirit. Meaning that we reject and even protest against anything other than Christ being head of [his] church, knowing full well that the commission was given to "all who...

You are speaking as one of the world. "Space-mass-time" are scripturally "nothing", and there is no salvation of the flesh which is condemned to death, but must be born again of the spirit - which is timeless, just as God is spirit and timeless. Your perception is out of context. What is of the...

At the risk of building error upon error - let's stop here. Christ did not appoint Peter with "leadership", but rather, service ("feed my sheep", rather than lead my sheep). The "leadership" of "building" His church, was identified by His reference to "My Father in heaven." Do you not know...

That is not biblically correct. Of course your point is well taken and appreciated, for we do know our [old] self. Yet, biblically, we should not contradict the message with our attempt at honesty. Especially, when we are wrong. We should instead, consider how it is even possible that it has...

"Catholic" is just a word, meaning: Universal...or in simple terms: Big. The riff of opposition facing the Catholic church is not one of origins, but of adding the traditions of men and revering men over the risen Christ and his Helper, the Holy Spirit. Appointing a Pope over the church is...

Grams, It would all depend on your interaction with her. It is God who designs our world and presents us with opportunity. So I would include in your own prayers, the opportunity and direction for you to help. Then be attentive to his calling. God bless!

So it would seem...but not if we keep in the proper context. For example, if I gave you a book, an exceedingly long story of many generations, and told you it was yours "forever"...it would indeed be yours forever, and yet the story itself would have a beginning and an end - which is also...

Thank you for your kind approach. We either continue to view all things through the prism of our own worldly perspective, or we attempt the renewing of our mind and view things from God's perspective - which is timeless. It is as if God views things through a window parallel to himself, and we...

That is a good assessment of the symptoms and the cause of much of the problems in church leadership these days. But there is also a reason, and a root cause. Men are not qualified to speak for God. Thus, under the mystery which Paul referred to with the example of marriage (of Christ being...

Not sure I follow you. The road is broad for a reason. But the broad road is like flying into darkness.

No. We are not witnessing "what will be" the result of God's salvation efforts, but what "is" the result of his incredible master plan. History is his story - which is already written, and he is simply telling us in our own real time how he has separated darkness from light and triumphed good...

The earth is a manifestation only...a place of captives, cast down, who must be born [again] out of the world. His will being done on earth as it is in heaven...is not for the salvation (saving or renewing) of the earth - but is to burnt up with fire.

If you want to say that God's telling and account of history is wacky...perhaps you should indeed make your own case after all.

Each is allotted a lifetime.

The problem with that explanation is that it only speaks to the temporal timeline of those who do not have eyes to see the timing from God's [timeless] perspective. It is finished. If we have not yet seen the white throne judgement, it is only because we remain in the world. But do not suppose...

One thing at a time. You say those souls spoken of "sleep" "under the altar." But they do not "sleep", but rather are either dead or living...for in Christ, there is none other but the dead of promise and the living who believe.

Very good point. Yet, as a parable, it does not tell all. The point of parables is to give clarity to a principle...by means of a completely different subject that is not otherwise relative, not literal. Remember, that Jesus told the apostles that he had many more things to tell them, but even...

Twinc, We do not choose, but are chosen. However, our sincerity does indeed count as faith, by which we are saved...depending on just what we believe. It is important to appeal directly with God in prayer, so that if you have come under a false form of Christianity, He will guide you out of...
