no need to be scared. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; 7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion...

I haven't spent that much time looking at it, but it looks to me basically like a library that contains loads of articles from the past. it's probably intended as a research tool. I'm sure I would agree with some of the articles and disagree with others. it's kind of like asking the question...

no, Christians are to be United with other Christians. Muslims are not Christians, they have not been baptized by one Spirit into the one body of Christ. as a group they do not call out to Jesus, 1 Corinthians was not written to them. I believe I have talked to many times on this thread about...

well, do you agree or disagree with this? 1st Corinthians is addressed "To God’s church that is in Corinth, To those who have been made holy to God in Christ Jesus, who are called to be God’s people. Together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—he’s...

catholicculture.org appears to have a large library of basically reprints from past academic journals. that article you linked to is pretty long, did you read all of it? I didn't read all of it, the parts that I skimmed sounded to me like it was simply reporting an event in which some...

I don't think I said that Satan was able to create a one-world religion. which post of mine are you looking at? well, think about the human helpers that Satan has to work with Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness...

God perfectly inspired the scriptures. and while the apostles were alive, they maintained the church in good order. (the reader can decide if the following is satire or history as it actually happened.) sometime after the death of the last apostle, the Catholics (boo, hiss) took over and...

well, how about if we take a look at the last few posts on that subject: Have you reached a conclusion, or do you wish more time?

well, being united is what Christians are to strive for 12-13 You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you’re still one body. It’s exactly the same...

I believe the part of my post that you are quoting there is a quote from 1st Corinthians, so if you are disagreeing your disagreement would be with the scriptures. or are you disagreeing with the translation? 1-2 I, Paul, have been called and sent by Jesus, the Messiah, according to God’s...

a general question I have is whether all of the word of God is contained in the Bible. for example Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor...

well, my current thinking is that Satan isn't very good at organizing movements. so, no, I don't think the Catholic Church as a group is involved in a satanic movement, given the meaning you described. I'm sure there are lots of anecdotes of priests acting in ways that I find objectionable...

suppose we look at it this way, I just did a word search for "word of God". to my surprise, I didn't see anything in the results where that phrase is used to refer the Bible. Of course, it could be there and I missed it. so now I'm wondering, is the idea of calling the Bible the word of God a...

for what it's worth, it seems to me that there are different meanings to the phrase "word of God". there's this John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word. and there's this Luke 3:2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness...

I remembered this when reading your post, "12 “I have much more to say to you, but you can’t handle it now. " https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+16&version=CEB

well, those who have made Jesus their Lord. those individuals within them that belong to Christ, yes. I don't think CCC 841 says that Muslims have made Jesus Lord. "10 Now I encourage you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Agree with each other and don’t be divided...

well, that passage that talks about being baptized by one Spirit into one body is from 1st Corinthians. 1st Corinthians is addressed "To God’s church that is in Corinth, To those who have been made holy to God in Christ Jesus, who are called to be God’s people. Together with all those who call...

I believe I did answer your question. we may wish to remember that we are not interpreting letter by letter. so what does satanic mean? probably a reasonable meaning is "of or related to Satan". Job 2:3 the Lord said to Satan, "Job still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against...

well, Paul had something in mind here. whatever he means in these passages. I don't think he thought in terms of the church being divided up into separate groups. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were...
