Well friend, your post seems worded emotionally and sarcastically so without wasted effort, I will try to summarize an explanation but please stop me if you profit financially from these rituals: The Scriptural references of weddings you give make no mention of ritualistic "ceremonies" of any...

I think the deeper one looks into this, the worse it gets: Not one example or command or instruction for the conduct of a marriage "ceremony" is contained anywhere in the Bible. Most Bible instances of a wedding or a marriage were celebrated with a supper or feast after the man and woman...

A slightly different perspective: But He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin Who among us has resisted unto blood, striving against sin? If it had been impossible for the Son of Man to sin, then it would have been impossible to tempt Him also. Why would He have needed to...

Did not our Lord teach quite extensively that to plan sin.....is sin.

Yikes, sorry for the long quote. Thank you Darrell for the answers, I understand your perspective better now. Just one more question and some thoughts for you to consider: Would it then be reasonable to assume that our Lord included Baptism and All of His Teachings in His Commission as...

Sincere but several Questions Bro. Darrell: -Are you advocating that there maybe more than one Gospel message in the NT? If so, please name them and to which audience each applies. -Are you also advocating that Jesus in His Gospels did not teach His Gospel (I Cor 15:1-4) or regeneration and...

This will explain it to you friend, his message like all cheapened "gospel" messages in these last days doesn't match what our Lord taught thoroughly in His Gospels and reiterated repeatedly throughout the Epistles. There is no unregenerate Gospel message anywhere within Scripture.... In Hell |...

Perhaps there are other Scriptural considerations about the Grahams of the world who have been revered, studied and followed by the religious lost and babes in Christ since our Lord's ascension. The message Graham spouted obviously changed throughout his life to match the fleshly desires of his...

Please still bear with me on this vein and consider that this debtor happily accepted forgiveness without a change in his own actions. This is simply another example of unregenerate "belief" prevalent in all sects my friend since our Lord's time on earth. Please notice in our Lord's Gospels...

Perhaps some Truth lies in the chapters before 18 in Matthew my friend, please consider: Chapter 13 teaches extensively on tares, not only how they are made in the Parable of the sower but also how they are infiltrated into every NT assembly in His Parable of the Tares (in connected context to...

Interesting argument which will never be understood nor settled intellectually. Water baptism in itself never saves; conversely however, "belief without obedience" never saves either. Christ's commission to all who follow Him from that point on is in 3 parts for a reason. Belief without...

Thanks brother, Well put.

Sounds like the first 3 steps of a 12 step brain washing program. Wouldn't it make more sense to you that if these gifts were real, you would get them from the Spirit as opposed to being coached by others?? There is no example of the early church members needing any coaching whatsoever in...

Protestants and Charismatics follow the same errors in relation to I Cor 13 as the RCC. They purposely and ignorantly believe Apostle type characters still exist in some more modern form like popery and archbishops and denominational presidents, etc. Some of these groups even refer to their...

Believers before regeneration could certainly go there if their faith changed before death. It was not until after Christ's victory over death that the Apostles were born again, indwelt and sealed until the day of Redemption. Ever wonder why the Apostles lost faith so easily at our Lord's...

I wonder if the Lord's main intent with this passage is in it's fuller context. The key verse being 29: That no flesh should glory in his presence. All who are born again have answered the only supernatural call you will get from God. That is the conviction of the Spirit through the Word. There...

In no way did I mean to offend you brother and it is a sincere question.

Oh dear friend, this passage in Luke 22:36-40 is not referring to actual violence. It is yet another fulfillment of prophecy in which our Lord frequently declared in the Gospels during various situations. In this case the prophecy fulfilled is Isaiah 53: 9-12. "v. 12 Therefore will I divide him...

What Scriptural support can anyone lend to this adoration for weapons, the carrying of and most importantly the use of any against others? Sincere question....

Gal 5: 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the...
