    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (goldy;50833) And I would answer this by saying either be in it all for Christ's Church or leave. Even Benedict XVI said that the future of the Church would be a smaller, more faithful Church. Quality, not quantity. Ryan, you can't be a Cafeteria Catholic. Ever heard of that? That's when...

    Apostasy

    (RichardBurger;51239) Jesus said you would know them by their fruit. The history of the RCC is one of murder and greed. I think they deserve what they get.Richard And you think we are any different from our forefathers?1. We allow abortion to go on unabated.2. We cause harm to our brother in...

    Apostasy

    (SealedEternal;51217) There were true Christians in the beginning and there were apostates; just as there are today . I don't look down on those true brethren who suffered for the faith, but I do on the self proclaimed experts who perverted it. Often it is the greatest perverters that get the...

    Apostasy

    (SealedEternal;51123) Interesting research. People often site the so-called "Church fathers" as though they had some sort of special insight into the scriptures, but the fact is that any of us have the ability to understand His Word just as well as they did, and probably better if one has His...

    I'm Dying

    (Letsgofishing;51072) I want to thank all of you .Radd- you were raddical ( ha ha Ok bad joke) You have a unique gift of making even the toughest times seem like a time for worship. Your description of the holy spirit was unique, funny, and strangly accurate. Yea, its time to run when He gets...

    "Christendom.....we have a problem"

    (bigape;51065) The answer to this question, boils down to "words". We may have "the right message" but are we using the right words to convey it? There is a doctrine, that all true believers accept, but many misunderstand it. That is, the doctrine of "verbal inspiration". We all agree on what...

    I'm Dying

    (Letsgofishing;50852) Tree Of life I have lost all confidence in myself, when I depended on myself I digged myself into a huge hole. So I looked through the scriptures and I learned to have confidence in Christ. I turned to him, confessed to himand I keep digging that hole, I expected him to...

    Needing peace with my fathers death

    (Charlies Angel;50832) He claimed to saved but he did not live the life he should have. Brother I wish I could comfort you. However, if he wasn't a Christian, all I can say is that he doesn't want you where he is.If he was a Christian (which I sure hope so). Then it really comes down to...

    Needing peace with my fathers death

    (Charlies Angel;50822) I can't seem to find it or get over him dying. What bothers me the most is knowing that he died alone on his death bed. My mother told me to go home because there was nothing more I could do. I did just that-she slept in her bed that night and that morning he passed-he...

    I'm Dying

    (Letsgofishing;50823) I think I’m dying. I’m dying, but not physically, dying physically wouldn’t upset me or affect nearly as much. It’s in the realm of the temporary, the unimportant. No as a so called Christian I recognize what to be afraid of, not the temporary but the eternal. I feel like...

    fly away.......

    (Denver;50695) No, no, please don't take it as me suggesting that you do! I'm just saying that the rapture idea is very appealing to someone with itching ears in many cases because it plays on the "I'm safe, I'll be gone" thought process.Agree with the second part - but what Word was made flesh...

    Question

    (Wakka;50778) While I believe in eternal torment. Yes, there are multiple levels of hell. I believe that people who led a life against Christianity, evil dictators, etc. will have a worse punishment than just an every day sinner. But don't get me wrong, they're both going to be punishment.Some...

    Greek and Hebrew Words

    (kriss;50785) You may not find that important, but Bible student do.Thats why most every serious bible student uses a King James Bible and concordance. Theres a difference in studing his word and just reading it. And another thing.Most "serious" bible students have a bible in one hand, and...

    Greek and Hebrew Words

    (Vindicated;50759) case RANT:{Okay so, I would say that the translators of the Bible were all but perfect in their efforts. They did a very good job for the most part, but I think its important to find the origins of a word when we are confused.AKALeviticus 11:20 "All fowls that creep, going...

    (sosthenes;50536) And these shall go away into everlasting (aion - temporary) punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (aion - temporary). (Matthew 25:46) Kriss, do you know what that means?That changes the entire gospel, and the entirety of the Good news!Whats so "Good" about the good...

    Earth millions of years Old

    (followerofchrist;50573) Why does the first post on this page have a quote from me that I never said?? I actually said that.It must be a screw-up in the quote system (I guess).

    Is punishment in hell eternal?

    (sosthenes;50550) If you go to the art museum, people paint Jesus according to what their culture would wear. If the artist was Italian then Jesus looked Italian and if the artist was Spanish or Mexican then Jesus looked that way.If you favor a dictionary or belief, would you translate the...
