Possibly what we are looking for, [or should be], is a Bride that is taken out of the Church. Those left could then be properly invited guests. So then what would be the final result for the guest? Salvation? What would be the final result for the Bride? Hmmm?

Since no one else is posting anything else here, that apparently means that everyone knows what a Christian is and/or perhaps we are all agreeing to disagree. Or maybe everyone just got tired and went home without a final solution and without anticipating further discussions/arguments about same.

"Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests." Matt 22:9-10

Jesus was/is the Word of God. He was/is the Way. He was/is the Truth. He was/is the Life. The Bible on the on other hand was written on paper [on something similar] by men inspired by God. Without a similar inspiration, no man can obtain the Way or the Truth or the Life from the Bible. Someone...

@channing Welcome to the forum!

@Frank Lee Praying for you and your work for God. Some are interested in their own glory and some in the money to be derived from their efforts. Some want both of those, but oh so many have missed or forgotten the good news message Jesus brought. How much more patience and mercy will God...

Too many right here have never heard the words God spoke to your heart so you would post them here. May God grant that more would hear Him! "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"...

Go forward toward the Light, my friend!

Yes, it is our own understanding, which, if we follow it, will get us into trouble. In a tiny measure, sometimes, God will let us see His plan, but in spite of that we will still sometimes find ourselves missing the Way.

Give God the glory for what He has given us and and what we have!

You have been doing what you accuse another of for years twinc. You believe you are right and only ask confusing questions instead of trying to clearly explain your point of view. Yet you insist that people simply say "yea" to you. It is OK for you but not for anyone else.

And if at the end of our course, we have no blessings at all, then we are either satan or one of his close minions and we are completely and finally finished with nothing good to show...

We continue to live by faith until the time when it is no longer by faith. Remembering that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, we move from seeing through a glass darkly toward the face to face. If we endure in faith to the end with Jesus, then He will...

A lot of truth in that. A big problem in the argument about losing salvation is different people have different ideas about what being saved means. If we are only talking about the final thing a being God always, God knows who is going to be there and who is not. For each person there is a...

They likely used the word you do, "veneration" to describe our relationship with Mary, but at that age, the differences you describe here between veneration and worship, would not have stuck very well. I have never in my life for any reason used the word "veneration" as part of my spoken...

My friend I was an active and devout Catholic from 1949 [ca. age 6] until 1961 [ca. age 18]. All of that was prior to Vatican II. All of the masses were conducted primarily in Latin. The major exception was when the priest spoke to the people from the pulpit and sermonized. He would always read...

"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." Gen 2:9 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and...

God does speak through people my friend. An atheist can read a Bible and because of his own spirit and his own agenda he does not understand what he reads. Two different Jesus believers can read the same verses and come up with very different interpretations for several reasons. This is why just...

Give God any glory!

As I see it all of us begin with belief and as we step out in the faith continuously, God adds some knowledge to us. The difficulty for us is that we are not always able to distinguish between that which is still only belief and that which is knowledge. As we grow in God by continuing to walk in...
