    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    As we know... some are preterist. I do agree it was Rome but that it happened exactly how Jesus said. Within that generation, before some tasted death, shortly after the temple he was pointing at gets destroyed.

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Allah just means God. God is not even gods name. It’s Yahweh. Christians, muslims, and jews all believe in the same God. However, they all believe he interacted with humanity differently. They all believe in the God of Abraham. They also all believe in a different God based off of the theology...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    I essentially agree with those who stayed that Catholicism as we know it today is not the oldest. It’s not the same as the “universal” (Catholic Church). But neither is any other denomination. All denominations that exist today did not exist in the first century. The Bible, and the church has...

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    I agree with the view that we must understand who the original audience is. I have not studied out or ever heard the view about “tomorrow and being content” and so I can’t say either way. As for how money is spent that’s part scriptural and part philosophy.

    We do know it’s not a reference to the tongues like fire that fell on the apostles at Pentecost. They were no where near baptized by it and it completely rejects the surrounding verses about gathering the chaff and burning it. Matthew 3:7-12 New American Standard Bible 7 But when he saw...

    Because of the direct context. Some baptized with spirit and some with fire. He will collect the chaff and burn it and allow the wheat to grow. Lost souls cast into fire and saved souls given life. It’s very clear cut.

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3fsearch=Revelation%2b20:14&version=KJV&interface=amp Here is one example of KJV being very wrong in its translation. It’s hades, not hell.

    Eschatology differences & how people get treated

    In general we don’t have a right to judge someone’s salvation. We can test their doctrine and judge their fruits but we can’t pretend to be God and say if they deserve to be in hell. Almost all doctrine is somehow interwoven with another so it can cause people to be really triggered into fight...

    Blood pressure

    I did and do but mine was not high. Though there is some debate we can still mostly see that high blood pressure is a byproduct of diet and lifestyle. Though their are outliers from medication, mutations, and accidents the majority seems come from diets high in saturated fat, lots of processed...

    Matthew 3:11-12 New American Standard Bible 11 “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will...

    It did happen in a few days. not the fire by the way. Baptism with fire is being destroyed in hell. Baptism of the spirit is what happens when we are baptized into Christ as previously mentioned.

    Yes. A foreshadowing of Pentecost.

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    This entire topic of “KJV only or KJV is best” Is solely opinions. It’s not actually based on hard evidence from theological or historical facts. All modern bibles are flawed in its translations. We don’t even know exactly what all books were considered as scripture , and we have quotes from...

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    I don’t think God IDed the KJV anymore than any other translation. We also have the issues of Septuagint vs Masoretic vs Dead Sea Scrolls and dozens of other things. The KJV routinely translates some words wrong that no one goes by anymore. I believe even mistakes like unicorns and calling bugs...

    For future reference. I’m not going to be responding anymore. I don’t do chase the rabbit style comments. When I have time I’ll make a entire post about why baptism is essential and why praying Jesus into your heart is false.

    I did deal with them. There are two easy answers that are consistent with everything I’ve stated. It’s a given all man are born physically. So There would be no real point in saying we must be born physically and then born spiritually. Being born of water and spirit is baptism. It’s not...

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    I’ve studied it out in depth a lot. KJV is a joke when it comes to accurate translations. The use of a name does not mean it’s not a parable. The rich man is not even given a name. It’s a parable snuck in with all the other parables. Even if it’s not a parable, it does not change anything I...
