I'm not saying praying in public is a sin. I am pointing out that praying in public means your prayer goes no further than the adoration of those who witness your public display of prayer.. Just like Jesus said it would in mat 6. To me Jesus is saying if you want to pray in public fine, just...

This is exactly my point.

I think the idea Jesus praying publicly is popular among Christians. but if you look at the actual examples of Jesus' prayers many of those prayers where not public, and some examples of 'prayer' are times when He looks up and gives thanks to the Father. Chat gpt: Notable Examples of Jesus...

Then why the directive to go into your closet and close the door? 2/3s of Chapter 6's sermon was about literally doing things for God in private? (Fasting, donating, helping others and prayer, we are told to do in secrete.) When I read this it is telling me anyone who prays publicly is a...

Not meals in general, but say a group of church members goes to a restaurant. Is it proper to pray to your meal publicly?

I ask this because our pastor likes to hold these big long prayer meeting where he 'aggressively encourages' people to pray publicly after the sermon. This last Wednesday he and one of the older members bumped heads about the pastors use of an outline which was established by the Lord's prayer...

I did not change anything. show me what you think was changed. So? Irrelevant. The point being made is the wheat is carried into the store house and the grapes are being crushed. 14 I looked and there before me, sitting on a white cloud, was one who looked like the Son of Man. He had a...

Unless He wills not to lie. Your attempt of a paradox assumes God wants to lie but can not. you don't seem to consider that it is God's will not to lie.

Keep reading... "Free will" as you understand it is a greek philosophy reworked from its original greek philosophical form and adopted by the church. Our understanding of free will was invented 300 - 400 years after Christ's ministry...

Tell me you did not read my post before commenting, without telling me you did not read my post before commenting.

Nothing in the bible says we have free will. The idea of free will was added to church doctrine several hundred years after the life and ministry of Christ. In fact, Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught the opposite. In that we are slaves to God and righteousness or Sin and satan. as such our will...

three separate time Jesus comes back? Ok got it. Well, hold up.. this passage does not stop at verse 14. this message goes down to verse 20. So while One LIKE the son Of Man holds a great sickle, what is being describe here is not focused on who is present, but why they are there and what they...

God's righteousness (sense of right and wrong and ultimately His desire to want to save all of us from Hell) exceeds His need/want to provide Even His own son's comfort/unchallenged life. Everything Jesus experiences in life was finite. He Himself is infinite, and the repercussions of what He...

much respect. You're still wrong, but I do respect your admission.

I am going to starting in rev 6 with the breaking of the 5th seal. and just fast forward. to the next chronological event concerning the church. Meaning This is not some scrap book exegesis where you have to go to 15 different verse fragments through out the OT and NT to force the bible to...

I do not disagree with your message. I myself have been guilty of a few of those charges. However after spending a week++ with you, having experienced your own "teaching/debate' style.. Do you think you are immune to these same charges? Here is an example where you masked your own personal...

Or... I was wrongly accused of being ignorant of what it means to be "born." And when I simply asked that you quote the passage where I asked you to mansplain what it means to be born. You then could not produce a reference.

If you are Sealed with a promise of the Holy Spirit, does that literally mean that salvation is pending? Otherwise why would we need a promise of the Holy Spirit ? why would the Holy Spirit be considered a "deposit"? A deposit is money or something of value that you put down that secures the...

Can you do me a favor now that we are on the same page. Look at the OP again with fresh eyes and tell me where the OP differs from "everything you said."

great.. Show me, give me a post number, a quote or something. We can not edit our posts after the first 5 mins of posting. So it wasn't changed. Otherwise know you read it wrong.
