I guess it depends upon what it means to be faithful. You are judging me by what you think you see now, but you know nothing of what was well over 50 years ago. I was out of church, any church, for 14 years from the time I was last actively Catholic to the time I was actively anything else...

David's reaction to his own sins was a readiness to pay the penalty for his sins, which he knew for either adultery or murder was death, but the prophet had heard from God on this: "And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put...

How is it understood today that is so different than ever before? God has certainly never changed. Men who have known God have changed and/or been changed, but there have always been some who had a personal relationship with God. The words may have been changed, but the concept certainly not...

No problem! Yes the perfection is Jesus, but perfection is to be defined by God rather than by man. God is looking for perfection in men's hearts rather than in everything that they do. All we have to do to understand that is look closely at David's life. What did the man do wrong? We can find a...

No, UPC is United Pentecostal Church. They are a Oneness, Jesus Only tongue talking group that stands strongly against the trinitarian doctrine. I learned to read the Bible with them many years ago.

Does it really have anything to do with how "smart" they are? Do only the Einsteins understand the Truth of God? The only the smartest men finally saved? "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say...

That might be good, twinc, but you already know that men would not allow it to happen or if it were available men would choose not to participate. Supposedly education today is mandatory up to certain age in the United States. Could your suggestion be made mandatory for the same age groups?

I have been very disappointed after receiving so much hope. I was drawn by God to the UPC and at the first they all appeared so beautiful to me. When many years later I was drawn by God to another unnamed [meaning they purposely carry no name] group I approached much more cautiously so as not...

I think it relates directly to and perhaps is the same as what this verse says: "And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Exodus 33:20 Moses was able to see in a limited measure as was Paul here: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face...

It is that thing of trying to put our best foot forward instead of openly manifesting to anyone who is looking the reality of the mess we really are.

@Psalm 37:4 Welcome to the forum.

There are "special breeds" of various peoples it would seem. The odd or difficult thing is when they insist on that their opposers are hell bound. I really cannot believe that God is like that and it is difficult for me at times to understand why other are. Even if we wrong in what we do...

At least you understand my position on what I believe in a sense then. I assure you that I believe that I am right just as strongly as you apparently believe that you are. That being the case, the key should be found in how we treat others who are different than us or who believe things...

Yes, of course, he is right simply because he is Catholic. I do not remember being so stubborn about my faith when I was a 'good' Catholic.

They are according to some the opposite sides of the same coin, but most people arguing which is correct see a much greater divide than that. One difference is that Oneness people speak words when water baptizing a person in accord with Acts 2:38. Trinitarians will usually speak words in accord...

And is not the statement that your your beliefs are objective truth while mine are wrong also a mere opinion?

Ok, my friend, perhaps against my own better judgment, this morning I took my time and read your study. You have gone to a lot of work and made some good points, but there were also a number of things with which I did not agree. I did not take note of our differences but of course they do exist...

I do not reject anyone out of hand, Catholic or Protestant, but neither do I jump with both feet is support of someone simply because they are well-educated in scripture. I have books containing many of the writings of the Early Church Fathers and I have read them and once in a while I still...

This morning it is in the high 40's F with a wind that requires for me at least a warm sweat shirt. Of course, I don't stay out in it for any longer than absolutely necessary.

I don't much about Baptists, but you don't seem to be following the party line from what I have heard. The UPC is a Oneness, Jesus Only group sharply separated from any who support the trinity. I am not part of either of those. Thank you for providing the verses and explanations.
