@Wrangler Thank you for your take on Ps106. After replies since your last post I have do disagree with your last post that "No one is claiming to be sinless." That is between them and God. I pray that these PERFECT SINLESS men have not caused a lesser man to fall away. Because of the...

@Wrangler Of the doctrines that will send me out the door of a church. The doctrine that by latching onto Christ we will sin no more is high on the list. I can find verse and stories that encourage me to live a better life. I can find verses That if I live a life that reflects Gods incredible...

@Philip James The Claim of ALL AUTHORITY because of scriptures is challenged by scriptures that encourage all Christians to test the truth and validity of the church, the direction of the Church. Martin Luther tested the church against scriptures and found it was not true. The church denied...

I see you totally ignore 1 Timothy 3 verse That a man has to have a family, wife and children to judge his ability to fill the role of leadership. That without a family there is no way to judge him worthy and he cannot fill the position. The translation of leader in texts I read are Episcopal...

When even Paul the Apostle converted in a face face meeting with Jesus writes that he cannot live above the state of his sinfull flesh. What vanity, what emptiness on my part to say I do better or can do better. If there is a truly sinless man I am sure that God will take him straight into...

@Philip James When the Bishops inact rules of men to be followed before, Faith, yes I reject that. Even as Jesus told the Pharisees, you follow rules and traditions of men. In study to answer my rejection of Bishops, I come to 1st Timothy. Paul is describing how to choose the the pastor, the...

@theefaith The Apostle Paul, converted by Christ himself. Writes of preaching The Crucified and living Lord Jesus Christ. For three years I (Paul) taught the Salvation of Christ, before I even went to Jerusalem, and even then only two Disciples can recognive me. Paul met one Disciple but...

@theefaith If you don't know what church I pick you are blind. But then you proved this in jumbled up text of picked fruit that I am a heretic. I would like to go through the bible chapter by chapter book by book with anyone. Because if the story doesn't support one portion of the story in...

@Nancy You set a beautiful feast on a table. The feast is the Food on the table. The table is important because where would the food be placed to enjoy. The WORD is the feast the Bible is the table. THE WORD brings the relationship to God as the feast. The Bible is what held the feast to...

@theefaith I see you deflect and answer to the side. So yes or no. Would if you took a Catholic priest from today to 1500 and took a Catholic priest from today to 1500 would they recognize the chuch? Another yes or no. Would an a Disciple taught by Jesus recognize the Catholic church of 1500...

The catholic church of Luther's day was so far from the truth that their was no possibility of SALVATION without change. Simple question Would that catholic church of Luther's day recognize the catholic church of today? An anecdote A neighbor my family had for nearly forty years, a good...

All scriptures are God breathed, yes that is true. But when one scripture, one verse out of a chapter of commanding a stop is used as permission or a justification to do what God is ordering stopped? Where is God's word? WHAT is God's word? In context all of God's ordered stop, but one verse...

I also have a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. From this many metaphors arise about the bible, THE BOOK, It planted the seed that became faith, It showed a shows the right path, It shows the need to test that Spirit is the True spirit, because there are false spirits It shows by...

At the 25 year of marriage I looked at myself in the mirror and asked the Lord to give me strength so that my actions were not the end of the marriage. I also started living so my actions strengthened the marriage while praying for the Lord to show me his will. When the Lord showed me his...

I read through 64 posts on this thread. What no one posted? The End of The world known and for sure! Armageddon or the end of the world, eight predictions of knowing when it would be. The last one, I didn't slam the door on anyone I wasn't mean or nasty. But as soon as the JW started on...

In starting to reply to this thread, I did a brief study on God repenting on his Judgements. GOD let Lot and his family escape Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels also answered that if even a few men where not guilty God would repent. The people of Israel repented of their sin so God repented of...

In reading the judge not lest you are judged. And looking at the Judgements of herecy, not only herecy but damnation pronounced on Theologians that in study of the Bible came to a different faith then those pronouncing judgement. I have to wonder if those judges have been judged as they...
