(RichardBurger;67044) Then you are blind. The "social moral gospel' is the gospel taught today. It starts out saying Jesus' death on the cross save us and then puts in the word "but" we must have works to show our faith is not dead.Richard I don't know who is teaching this "social moral gospel"...

(RichardBurger;66999) Winsome, you posted: "What did Peter say in Acts 2:38 to the assembled Jews “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your...

(RichardBurger;67001) Most all "religious" people are seeking to produce good religious works in their lives to earn salvation. This is a never-ending battle that is filled only with frustration and defeat. Until they accept the true gospel of Jesus Christ, they will never be able to rest in His...

(RichardBurger;66946) No where in the scriptures do we find Jesus teaching that the Jews did not have to follow the Law of Moses. But Paul certainly taught it. But Jesus did exactly that. Or rather he replaced the Torah, the old Torah, by a new Torah, himself and his teaching.As Peter recounts...

(Jordan;66929) The gospel was preached to the Jews first. His own received Him not. (John 1:11) Then the gospel was preached to the Gentiles... as Christ is the Saviour of the world. (John 4:42, I John 4:14, I Timothy 4:10, II Peter 3:9, Matthew 9:13, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:32)Romans 3:29 - Is he the...

(RichardBurger;66925) If you don't want to believe what I wrote that is your problem, not mine.So you think the message you teach has been around for 2000 years and mine hasn't. Well again, that is your problem. But according to the writings of Paul the apostasy started while Paul was still...

(RichardBurger;66869) No matter your desire to make this a play on words the message is clear; the Apostles agreed with Paul that Paul should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews. That means they, the Apostles, would no longer go to the Gentiles. Therefore they were abdicating their...

(RichardBurger;66863) But I know the religious will never accept what I posted. But I believe it and so do others.Richard So when Jesus said to the gathered Apostles:But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth (Jn 16:13), he didn't keep his promise but let it all go...

Richard,Your theory starts with a dodgy premise based on an odd translation.In Bibles I have consulted your phrase “the gospel of the un-circumcision” is translated asto the Gentiles (NIV)to the uncircumcised (RSV)to the uncircumcised (NAB)to the uncircumcised (Amplified)The Greek word eis means...

(waquinas;66804) Now I belong to a Church that does not claim to be teaching an “understanding” of the Bible, but giving me teachings from God, teachings given to and entrusted to a Church to protect. Now the burden of my being right or wrong on a particular belief is removed not just from me...

(marksman;64877) Winsome.... Acts 2 and 1 Cor 11...Context pleaseActs 2 They met in homes and ate meals together not the eucharist. See a few verses later it says they ate their MEALS with gladness. Breaking of bread means food. The tradition was that a meal did not start until the host took a...

(ffbruce;63130) I think you might be missing the forest for the trees, and I'm guessing it might be because you're Catholic (though I could very well be wrong).What I see in this thread, and the OP, is the assertion that the New Testament Canon - indeed the entire Bible - was firmly established...

(PetriFB;62917) All things has not recorded to the history and we have very one-sided Church history, because Roman Catholic Church killed its opponents as heretic and destroyed their works and have given a name of heretic the opponents of Catholic Church. Testimony of the Roman Catholic Church...

(PetriFB;62796) Long before existence of Roman Catholic Church the canon was already used in Early Church. Roman Catholic Church has not borne the canon, but began to use letters, which Early Church has canonized and used long before Roman Catholic Church. Remarkable is that year 1546 Roman...

(marksman;60566) Breaking of bread in the NT means a meal. I asked my uni lecturer, a very godly Anglican "did they have communion in the NT." His reply was "no. They met for communal meals. His reply was "no. They met for communal meals. It wasn't until the thïrd century that the ritual of...

(Denver;56978) Maybe because God's truth works its way through the ages. In none of these old "Irish tales" do you see worship of idols. Neither is this a doctrinal issue for that matter. If you don't believe it, so be it. It's not Scriptural and no one ever made the claim that it was, so let's...

What I find amazing is that people who claim to be sola scriptura, scoff at the early fathers at unreliable and "mere uninspired men" will believe old Irish legends.

(tim_from_pa;55802) As for what I said about lost tribes and the throne of David, that is the position that the site owner and global moderator takes, and I agree which is why I feel comfortable here. Now we won't damn anyone for not believing this, but if one rejects it after careful study, we...

(tim_from_pa;55796) The Catholic church for example denies the lost tribes of Israel. Right there is a very serious doctrinal error which allows me to cut off from hearing any garbage they say. If someone can't get 7/8's of the bible correct, then they don't know what they are talking about...
