Hi iamabeilever, I would have to disagree. The Bible trumps man’s authority, church tradition, and our own opinions. Gods word keeps us from being “tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching” (Ephesians 4:14).

Hey Kemorean, are you still catholic??? See post #69

Wait no more! FULGENS CORONA ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII PROCLAIMING A MARIAN YEAR TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENARY OF THE DEFINITION OF THE DOGMA OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION 18. and proposed and confirmed by the greatest and highest decision of the Church" (Bull Ineffabilis Deus), so that to...

I agree, Les Feldick is a very good Bible teacher

Yes agreed. I stepped up to the plate some 20 years ago, the result is I've been unchurched ever since. How about you, (knowing full well that satan works hard in churches), have you stepped up to the plate? If so can you share some testimonies of your experience.

On the contrary, People who do feel comfortable in a local church institution should examine the preaching as well as themselves very closely.

Well said, thank you

Hi Blane, just reiterating, this thread is about mindless incomprehensible babble practiced in many denominations today. As we are aware the gatherings in Corinth were getting themselves into all sorts of issues needing some correcting by Paul. Mindless babble was one of those issues Paul had...

The OP is all about "this mindless babble" causing division. Paul called out some from the Corinthian church practicing this mindless babble, known as unknown tongue. No! Paul called it unknown tongue because no one else in the congregation could understand this spoken mindless babble. Read 1...

It seem to me that those that speak this "unknown tongue" in the congregations, they are considered barbarians to Paul. I Corinthians 14:11 "Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, (If I don't know what someone is saying) I shall be unto him that speaketh (like) a barbarian, and he...

You mean Romans 1:5, not 10:5. "obedience that comes from faith", some translations say "obedience to the faith". One thing for certain, it's not referring to the OT law as you put it.

Why not, why do you oppose Gods word that clearly tells us that we should judge those inside the church? Especially after i had just posted the verse telling us that. I guess what I am asking is why are you teaching a different gospel? Moving on to your next remark. How do you propose...

No! you said refute heathens Refute definition:" to prove wrong by argument or evidence : show to be false or erroneous." I would say that's being pretty judgemental wouldn't you?

I can agree with your above statement . But in your OP you said "The reason I'm starting this particular thread is because I want to know if the Christian community will rise with a similar zeal in refuting other false teachers and heathens... " Based on this passage alone it is quite clear...

1 Corinthians 5; 12What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church ? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”…

Acts 11:18 reads, “When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.” Repentance is a gift from God, a grace not of human works.

My perception of "church" was also damaged almost 20 years ago. I see it as a positive, as I am still finding things that I need to unlearn. Although at the time when I decided to make a stand against the falsities going on. Well lets say it was a fairly rocky road that lasted 11 months, like...

SpoonJuly, post: You do seem to have a problem with context when reading the Scripture. 2 Thessalonians 3:9 clearly states that Paul and those who ministered with him had the authority to ask support from those they ministered to but CHOOSE not to. You post half of verse 9 add the word...

Straw-boy!! Any work load was intended to be sheared through the congregation, not someone carrying all of the load then making a profitable industry out it.
