    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Interesting commentsSs......I guess I missed your heretic 'teaching'....too. I usually remove all doubt and just tell people that I'm a heretic.....o_O I feel like I'm in 'fine' biblical company when I do so. But being well versed in "PAULINE THEOLOGY" I must assume you already know that...

    Interesting comment. I guess I missed your heretic 'teaching'. I usually remove all doubt and just tell people that I'm a heretic. :p So I really would like to ask a STEVEN question here. What is your definition of a 'heretic'? Your gentleness when faced with the offensive always brings...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    WRONG. There IS only ONE church. MAT 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, When GOD looks down from heaven, to this day, HE only sees ONE CHURCH. And 'that church' is the one which is the "many membered" "body of Christ". And Jesus, ''my/our LORD'...

    Danger sign from the bible; GAL 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft/pharmakeia, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 5331 pharmakeia: medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extens.) magic (lit. or fig.) REV 21:8* But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    The "FIRST" CHURCH was that of ISRAEL. And 'the church' was called "THE CHURCH" 64 times in the bible. The WESTERN church of ROME and the EASTERN ORTHODOX church of Byzantine came later. Both claim to be 'CATHOLIC' (Universal) and both claim to be 'ORTHODOX' (keeping right teaching)...

    Is the Good News actual news? - No longer news to most

    Not sure I'm remembering this correctly, but I believe it was Billy Graham who I heard say; "If you listen for the questions of a man's heart, God will give you the words to speak into his life." And I'm going to assume, they will hear 'good words'.

    ~Ministers of the New Covenant 2CO 3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? 2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us...

    Rella, the problem is what do you do with the 100 different bible translations which don't have the word HELL in them ONE TIME? Below is a chart taken from the URL. It only list 28 that don't even have the word in them. If you really want to know the truth, you are going to have to study...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    That's because a lot of people sitting in a church who got saved by EMOTION from a fire breathing EVANGELIST who scared the HELL into them to say an UNBIBLICAL prayer "with every eye closed" cause they didn't have the 'REPENTANT heart before God' to even walk to the alter without being...

    are we all supposed to GUESS who you are "inspecting" with your comment? o_O Or should I just think me, because you posted 5 minutes after my post? ;)

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    It is sad that a poorly translated OT verse still stands as a litmus for the NT believers. MAT 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    I thiink the definition of a 'cult' is different. I think it is when all the 'congregation' looks to the ONE who is pastor over them all. And the ALL think the pastor hears God for them ALL. Just like when cult leader JIM JONES told his 918 sheep to drink the Kool Aid and die.

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    I don't know Steven, that sounds a bit too unbiblical IMO. Babes in Christ need the milk of the word of TRUTH IMO. Just getting indoctrinated into "the ways of church and faith"???? Unpack just what you mean by 'that'. "the ways" of the church I just left 6 months ago are BAD. And the...

    I also have a copy of the CLT. It does a good job of cleaning up a lot of the twisting of the modern translations. It's claim to fame is that it consistently used the same English word for the same Greek word. Not like I pointed out how the KJV disagreed with all the modern translations and...

    Dear brother, I absolutely would love to explore the issue. But it is not something I want to come between us if there is no change of mind on your part. I wish everyone knew WHY I believe. But most come to the table with one or two spirits. One is a religious spirit, and the other is an...

    I obviously did attract a lot of ugly responses...WE always do. But in your heart of hearts...don't you agree that Hitler was a tyrant? In my heart of hearts, my God isn't the God of orthodoxy. And my view of God isn't a tyrant. He isn't doing something that's worse than Hitler in our...

    Like we've shared before, that single word HELL is translated from 3 different Greek words. Do I believe in "gehenna/HELL". It was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem. And 'today' 2,000 years later....it's a housing subdivision in a much bigger Jerusalem. Do I believe in "hades/HELL"? Which...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Can you give an example specifically? I mean like a particular denomination or organization you consider a cult? I'm still vague in your application of that definition. Again, I'm not sure who would fall under that category, in your opinion. Since Abraham, Issac and Jacob, never knew God by...
