    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    1 Timothy 2: 5. "for there is one God and one mediator, between God and men, the man Christ Jesus". In other words, we pray to the Father directly, and end our prayer in Jesus' name. We do NOT pray to Mary or any dead saints, they are just people as we are, that teaching is taught by...

    Love, what is it?

    Complete Love has two parts to it's nature: The right feelings coupled with the right emotions. For example, John 3: 16. " For God so loved the world"... this part of the verse shows compassion, pity etc. towards mankind, the second part shows the ACTIONS of love, in that-"he gave his only...

    Are you a Trinitarian, and if so, can you defend the doctrine?

    Only ONE God, made up and including: His will , His words and His spirit. You too are a "trinity" having a will, words and a spirit, but not a perfect one, nor do we have the ability to separate each part of our being as God can His. The words are subject to accomplish the will, and that is...

    Not By Works

    Eternal security doctrines are those that offer encouragement and promises upon completion of one's life. But to be a reprobate, hypocrite, unrepentant backslider, these promises do not apply. " Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows THAT shall he also reap. For he that...

    Eternal security? or loss of salvation? what does the bible really say on these two subjects!

    Paul gives an example of the Christian life as being in a race: 1 Cor. 9: 24-27. In other words to "register" for the race and to be a participant, takes place at conversion. Now, we are excepted for the race, and stand on the START LINE. Not the FINISH LINE. This is where the confusions come...

    Matthew 27: 19. Who caused Pilate's wife to suffer in a dream and why?

    Jesus was carrying out prophecy and the will of his Father, the devil tried to stop the crucifixion by what would seem to be, a "rescue" through Pilates wife. The devil was behind that "rescue" Not God.

    Matthew 27: 19. Who caused Pilate's wife to suffer in a dream and why?

    Not quite. If you consider the scriptures that Christ would be crucified, determined from the foundation of the world, and that Jews AND Gentiles would be responsible, then it would follow that THE DEVIL, (through Pilates' wife) was attempting to negate the scripture of what God determined to...

    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    You have not considered that there are two basic "treasures" to be won, Crowns for personal spiritual growth, and REWARDS FOR WORKS, that are labours for the kingdom of God.

    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    There are two natures within, the FLESH nature and the NEW nature given to us at conversion. The purpose of the old nature remaining, is to give one a choice of actions-to obey what is right, or to disobey,( that which is wrong). By choosing the right, we grow spiritually and take on the fruits...

    Why did the Jews not recognise Jesus?

    Jesus was BORN in Bethlehem, and so fulfilling scripture. The Jewish leaders, unaware of his birthplace, but only his hometown of Nazareth, pointed to the scripture that the saviour would COME OUT Bethlehem, not Nazareth. But the clue to Jesus identity was given by the prophets, that later, he...

    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    The word "treasure" speaks of the things of this world that you hold dear, the physical and material things. To lay up treasure in heaven, is when we determine to support the furtherance of the gospel, witness for Christ, or deny ourselves for the benefit of others, actually anything that...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    You are not reading the WORDS of Matthew 12: 30-32. and mark 3: 28-30. This sin is NOT about Jesus, God, or unbelief. It is about speaking words that are irreverent, (blasphemous) and are directed towards the CHARACTER or PERSON of the Holy Spirit. An example is given in Marks account in verse...

    Explain what this means: "A text, without a context, is a pretext".

    The TEXT is one or more verses that contain a specific subject, of which is called the CONTEXT. If one deviates from the CONTEXT and relates or adds scripture, not relating to the CONTEXT, it is a false meaning added, and is referred to as a PRETEXT.

    What did Jesus Look Like?

    Isaiah 53: 2 is most likely the best description of Jesus, and I quote... "he has no FORM or COMELINESS; and when we shall see him, there is NO BEAUTY that we would desire him. As for all this long hair stuff, Paul says it is a shame for men to have long hair as a woman does, and I would think...
