11And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we...

John Calvin himself had his religious opponents killed.

I never look at any Bible character(except Jesus) as a hero, & certainly not those during the Reformation. We are to show them mercy, however, for there wasn't much true biblical knowledge around back then. The Reformation was an act of God, trying to get christians to search for biblical...

I will speculatate this... Since all animals were herbivores before the curse, dinosaurs would have to be around after the curse because many of them were carnivores.

If you like that stuff then you're messed up from the floor up.:eek::LOL:

Paul neither says or alludes to having a demon. The only thing he alludes to is that his flesh is still cursed.

Paul taught those who "press" toward the mark will reach it even though the flesh still wants to sin. For instance, if Paul felt a little bad & didn't do that day what the Lord wanted to do, he sinned in disobedience. Regardless what the flesh wants his inner man still wanted Christ.

I believe that's part of it, but Paul was writing generally about sin in his daily life. Some people have trouble with this, but that's usually because they/we don't know all the sins they/we commit due to remembering them, properly classifying them as sin, etc. Some say they they they don't...

I reached out to you with love & compassion knowing you were a new member & didn't know about this. It was for your benefit to help you steer clear of things that would cause problems in CC. However, your reply speaks for itself. You are known by your fruits. I will say nothing more to you.

14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good. 17In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it...

I have found that "what I have been taught" has not been errorless. We are to prove those things that we believe.

That's right. Remember the proper type of prayer Jesus gave to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray? Luke 11: 2 And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, [c]hallowed be Your name. [d]Your kingdom come. 3‘Give us each day our [e]daily bread. 4‘And forgive us...

We deal with sin every day. Being saved doesn't negate that. In fact, it becomes worse due to the fact we see almost all of it now & the fact that Satan hates us so he fights against the church.

The church is currently going thru the Falling Away. Rebellion wasn't put up with in the OT, neither is it in the New Covenant.

It is obvious: Paul is writing in present tense so it's how he's currently dealing with sin.

If in the future I don't forgive someone their sins against me My sins wouldn't be forgiven either.

I agree. That must be stated. She said, "All your sins are forgiven", plus showing that video. I couldn't tell anyone on here "All your sins are forgiven". That would be a judgment call. I don't know anyone on here well enough to say that. What I was doing was looking out for her reputation as a...

What book/site/video series did you get this from?

As a courtesy I must remind you that teaching fom a book or video series without naming/pointing to the original author is plagiarism. Instead of being a blessing, others might see you as a cheat, or thief. losing all integrity. I wouldn't want others to think of you as that.:) From...

I wouldn't speak such a thing unless I absolutely knew it to be true, Nor would I throw it out there as a judgment call. It was for your safety to remain on CC & especially for your spiritual safety as a christian.:)
