    IS IT OBLIGATORY FOR CHRISTIANS TO BE GOING TO CHURCH?

    In one way that is a catch 22 … can we go to the church… if we are the church. But ....I know what you mean…and no it’s not. … although it’s highly recommended to fellowship with like minded believers. In the book of Acts fellowships were in the homes as opposed to the temple. That is the...

    The letters to the seven churches are for Christendom today

    Not hardly ... take look at these stats on grace #14 ....Which is just the beginning of things I could point out...things that change prior to the beginning of sorrows. Something inflicts that change... which is the gathering together unto him.

    The letters to the seven churches are for Christendom today

    Having grace (which has been present throughout the OT) is different than being in the administration (dispensation) of grace. (Eph 3:2) Which encapsulates the administration of the mystery of the one body. How much grace is their in Revelation ??? It is used twice …. once in the opening...

    Roman Catholic Bishop Says Jews & Atheists Don't Need To Believe In Jesus To Be Saved

    That is my underline goal whenever I talk to one… But as you know…. they are so entrenched in tradition …I would much rather talk with an atheist. If I can determine the are born again… I sometimes have to leave it at that. .. But I always leave them with my number which has proved beneficial a...

    Roman Catholic Bishop Says Jews & Atheists Don't Need To Believe In Jesus To Be Saved

    I agree, it is representative of the Church but there is (aside from the faction's) a varying belief amongst individuals that does not coincide the doctrine...at least among many of the ones I have spoken to....the factor being... most of those people do read the Bible.

    Roman Catholic Bishop Says Jews & Atheists Don't Need To Believe In Jesus To Be Saved

    That Bishop is just a neck blowing Vatican II bubbles.... I don't think he is representative of all of Catholics beliefs and he is certainly not a representative of the written Word ... but he is in the Catholic hierarchy which is scarry. To think he is spewing this bland garbage to unaware...

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    I asked the question because You made this ↓ statement in response to my post Which I stated in my opening line (in post #9) “When speech departs from normalcy you usually have a figure of speech which would not be taken literally”. Why would I claim that as a direct contradiction to what I...

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    Does that depart from normalcy …. Do trees have knowledge or good and evil?

    Talking about the meat of the word

    Actually, ChatGPT had some fairly decent answers …not all accurate but decent….certainly better than chat-elder. The elder sounds like he has some problems, or he just didn’t know the answer … It was a fair question and one that deserves an answer. Jesus was entombed for 3 days and 3 nights…...

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    When speech departs from normalcy you usually have a figure of speech which would not be taken literally…. Any more than if I stated “the cat is outta the bag”. Thee are around 219 known figure of speech….at least 214 have been used in the Bible primarily the OT due to the limits of the Hebrew...

    Is sickness a blessing?

    That would make abundance a subjective word … it’s not ….it is set in opposition to Jhn 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: … The word abundant (perissos) at the end of Jhn 10:10 means …. over and above, “exceeding” …or exceedingly as used in Eph 3:20 …...

    Is sickness a blessing?

    No doubt God can always turn a lemon into lemonade. God may use situations, but he doesn’t cause us sickness in effort to provide the situations. I think we all have been sick at one time or another and I have seen sickness at its worst in others. There is not a single person who has suffered...

    Is sickness a blessing?

    Well …. if sickness is a blessing….. does Rev J R Miller want us to pray for him…. that he gets and stays sick… so he can be blessed all the days of his life. Being sick may be an opportunity to believe God for healing…..but that is as far as I will go. It’s not a blessing it doesn’t make you...

    WHY?

    Where there is no clear cut evidence of scribal addition (forgeries) in the Word of God …the reliance of historical writings is considered ….but the final authority has got to be the Word of God. Not with assumptions to enhance ones’ personal belief … that burdens us with something that God...

    Baptism….. Dunk or dry-clean.

    I though Slick Willie made that crystal clear for us several years ago.

    Mark 13:13-16 Study verse by verse

    Not saying that at all ....We are part of the one body that Christ returns for in 1Th 4:17 ..."So shall we ever be with the Lord".... doesn't leave us in the cold

    Baptism….. Dunk or dry-clean.

    Dunk, Sprinkle, Splash, Drip/dry …… or Dry cleaned. It’s an ongoing question/debate as to which is appropriate for today. I am sure this makes some people groan ☹~Ugh~☹ “here we go again”. …which is fine …just turn the page….. But there may be some who vacillate with drip/dry because they...

    Mark 13:13-16 Study verse by verse

    You do realize this is prophecy ….spoken to Israel …Not to us. There is a large gap between what you have stated and when this takes place. Currently that gap (before any of this prophecy begins) is about 1995 years based on Christ being born Sept 3BC with a ministry lasting about 1 year 7...
