You're very severe in your sectarianism, and there are those who are just as severe in the opposite direction. I support neither sect, both of which disobey the Lord with their pride and earthly priorities. You don't have to look far back in history to see the fruits of this sort of thing, which...

No, wouldn't help much. Ancient Greek is entirely different to modern Greek just as old English is different to modern English. As a matter of fact the Jehovahs witnesses produced their version of the bible by getting modern Greek speakers to translate the ' original' and they got it terribly wrong.

All that goes, too , to the question of the Catholic Church which is so mercilessly attacked by many here. Through history it had often been very political and done many regrettable things, but without these acts , the enemy might well have succeeded in silencing the Christians. It's important...

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. The politics of the temporal world are unimportant in the kingdom of God, and yet within those boundaries, it seems stupid to abstain from whatever small and diminishing influence you can exert through democracy. We can see that democracy is a lie by...

You keep attributing things to me which I didn't say, such as " works based salvation" which only YOU mentioned, and the last bit about or Lord Jesus Christ altering the Law, which I've repeatedly said he didn't here. You are also completely misrepresent Catholic teachings, which I have studied...

I don't know why you keep mentioning the idea of salvation coming through acts, because I never suggested that. The bit you quote in green seems to me to support what I said. Our Lord specifically did NOT cancel out the Law and said so clearly. He added to it and changed the nature of how we...

Well my honest understanding is that the law didn’t change ( and I base that upon what our Lord said), but it was now possible to be forgiven. He didn’t say anything about this distinction between moral obligations and other stuff which you speak of. I also thought that the crucifixion expanded...

No the law is not altered by a jot although I got into trouble for saying that in another thread

Share what you can when you can and help people whenever you can. Don’t wait till you win the lottery because you can share far more valuable things than money.

I haven't got any agenda other than discussing Christianity and chatting to other Christians. I didn't say any of that stuff about Rome being Heaven and so on either. In fact I didn't take a view of the Catholic Church or its rites, I just said I thought they, like everyone else, should be...

No, I didn't say hatred. I just suggested a less bombastic approach. Of course we must advocate what we believe to be the true word

I don't see what the contradiction is there actually. Tell me, have I misunderstood this forum ? Is it just for some local variety of Protestantism ? I thought it was for Christians generally, and I kind of expected a bit more love and humility all round. Am I just on the wrong message thread...

I'm going to say something very harsh. I've thought it through a lot and I hesitate to be confrontational if that's what it is, but it must be said. People who thump the table and insist on their own conclusions being the definitive version of God's will ,then rebuking those who dissent or...

I'm very very sad indeed to see the way people here are drawing battle lines and using God as a reason to fight. I'm connected to God before any church or particular sect, and I don't think we should be forming these political divisions, which are about ego and earthly rivalries. I wish I knew...
