God is the head of Christ. There's an "order" in the Trinity. God Jesus or 2nd Person or Son Holy Spirit Rhema. Yes. That's what I do too. When in doubt, ask Jesus. The Rhema of God. Having the Rhema of God in you is what saves you. Not the understanding of it.

I agree. The church is becoming gnostic again. Early Christians did all you say except the baptizing. They baptized adults until Augustine. (about 400) Christianity started going askew in the late 300's, early 400's. When I say the early Christians, I mean the first couple of generations, maybe...

LOL Both ways are gruesome! We get to eat chemicals and the Eskimo gets to want to commit suicide due to lack of sun. I don't understand about the loosing and binding too well. I hear that what we loose here is loosed there. Then I hear that it is already loosed there and we are obliged to...

Sure. That's why one church has a small C and the other Church has a capital C. The Body of Christ... The church is just a bldg made of bricks that has to be managed. The bigger they are, probably the more corruption...

But the universal, or catholic, church kept them out. Arius for one. If it weren't for them, there would be no Christianity today as we know it. I do appreciate this. I also know all the bad that was done. Evil lurks everywhere.

According to Webster Christianity is a religion. According to me it's a way of life. Different from every other religion but you wouldn't agree because you don't think Jesus is God. So it's just another religion to you.

bada bing? How old are you anyway! "My God doesn't need money Mister". Bono 1990 (about)

Yes. I do. I see it. Not that familiar with the financial, but men are men and they sin.

Well then, Christianity as accepted does not agree with you.

I didn't say KILL I said MURDER

Look it up. I think you'd like it. Also, if we want to be honest, the early Christians kept a lot of wolves out of the church. The gnostics come to mind since they were the biggest in number, but so many others too.

Do you agree with post no. 48?

I'm not a Calvinist. God calls all. But one must reply. P.S. My point was, how do we know who's right?

Right. I also see it as a political and financial system. But my friends here, who are all Catholics, are just trying to please God and be nice people. Go figure, some of them are actually saved the way we understand it!

Sure. I used to teach kids that the Church (capital C) is like a family. Love, same objectives, helping each other, etc. I agree re the sinning and the judging. To whom much is given...

The Catholic church has its doctrines, just like any church does. Jimmy Swaggart says you don't have the Holy Spirit indwelling if you don't speak in tongues. Mr. Ceflo Dollar says I'm never supposed to get sick and I'm supposed to be rich. Joseph Prince tells me I'm not even supposed to ask for...

I'm not as smart as you are... To me Christianity means following Christ. Living in the Kingdom of God the best I can. I do know that even in churches there is political stuff going on. I know this from experience and from seeing it with others. Financial, yeah, I guess so. It costs money to...

All the 10 commandments. Even the secular world lives by them. They are absolute truths, not situational truths. They never change. Murder will always be wrong. Stealing is always wrong. etc.

Just trying to make a point. I agree with you. But some believe God chooses who will be saved. How do we know who is right? The first Christians that knew the Apostles will tell you...

Here we go, treating God like a human. OK. A good mother will feed and clothe all her children and show the same love to all of them. She will teach each one the same wise sayings and help them to grow up smart and kind. But each one is an individual and may need something done a little...
