I have no problem with that my friend, but we should also understand that just being a formal member of the visible organized Church bearing the name Catholic is no assurance of salvation. Just because we jump on the train does not mean the conductor won't insist on confirming the validity of...

While I believe you are onto the right pathway, young people [not necessarily physically young] can get started almost anywhere if they are properly hungry and their hearts are open. Problems may come hard against them as they grow closer to God and their particular church group by their ways...

If all of those who gather while still eating their daily allotment of meat and potatoes to fill the basic needs of the body of flesh, but fasted from all sin, at least, on the day and during the time of gathering, imagine the difference it would make...? Help us dear Lord!

Or like Peter upon confirming that he could walk out to Jesus, we/he walk on top the sea of disbelief, on top of the gathered unbelievers, on top of the world outside... and we/he walk on toward Jesus. Then Peter, or we, pay attention the tempestuous sea all around and under us rather than Jesus...

Your understanding or God's? Even if we were completely wrong on this, mocking would still not be proper if no other reason than that... we don't believe we are wrong. I doubt that you really would like for people to mock what you believe... "To every thing there is a season, and a time to...

You, my friend, are not the only one who has had problems with churches because of your understanding. I don't doubt however that you have had more problems like that that I have. That is feather in your cap rather than in mine. Give God the glory!

No one asked you to receive it, but should you mock that which you don't understand or even that with which you disagree? Are you then seeing the hearts of each of us? Are you as one of these Roman soldiers? "And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in...

I guess I don't really know you friend, but that sounds to me like you are mocking or joking about someone's testimony. You would do better to leave any appropriate laughter to the One who reads every heart: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."...

You simply repeated yourself here. In posts #861 & #869 I already disagreed with your understanding of those verses. They quoted below again for your convenience:

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

I remember having some lengthy discussions with you on some of the those forums. I remember learning some good things from you. Really good to have you here.

Why do you keep using that word, problematic, to describe what is really directly or indirectly a criticism of what @Episkopos believes and teaches. Problematic: problematic [ˌpräbləˈmadik] ADJECTIVE constituting or presenting a problem or difficulty. What Jesus presented and taught was...

You should slow a little bit and seek God before responding, my friend. The "Gospel" is the "good tidings" or "good news", which certainly arrived when Jesus was born to Mary in Bethlehem was announced to people. They were rejoicing having heard that long before Jesus was crucified and before He...

Actually all a person has to do is seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and then... "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 The Holy Spirit received when we are seeking those first things first may indeed...

Amen! While I regularly read the whole Bible, Song of Solomon, is one of those I have on an extra reading list so that I read it more often than most other OT Books.

You can read commentaries from probably several view points, but I simply consider whether or not Adam and Eve were perfectly sinless before they disobeyed God? One thing they did not have was Life that would never end. They were shut out of the garden and access to the Tree of Life, but they...

Amen, God simply used Pharaoh's established evil ways [by his own choices] to accomplish the purposes of God in Egypt with the Hebrews! This is the left hand of God at work. We should rather be working for and with the Right hand of God.

But without any regard to which way men have voted or believed, is not the best answer God's?

But what does Jesus say here? "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 Is God not in us? If we are able to surrender completely to Him continuously can He, within us, not even keep us from sin? Do we deny...

Perhaps it is not the ideal answer we'd like to have, but we are not ideal people and we are in a less than an ideal place, so when it comes down to it, then the "report" button is waiting to be pushed.
