Christians are directed to look to the Bible as their basis for all their doctrine, faith, and practice. If the travel of a man affects the doctrine of the church, then yes, it must be considered. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for...

Those that are orthodox in the faith not only hold "some of the fundamentals of the faith," but to all of them, which include salvation by faith alone, and not of works. That is just a starter but it is the biggest difference. Baptismal regeneration, transubstantion, praying to the saints...

The apostles worshiped before the Day of Pentecost was fully come. Act 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and...

Perhaps. But consider just a minute our responsibility to our generation only. After all we are responsible for it, and it also has the greatest population at any time in history. Is it possible that every person at least has the possibility of hearing the gospel at least once in their...

"parishes" So that's where the Catholics come from!

I don't contradict myself. Jesus was not just talking about "any two or three" as so many assume. You must read the entire passage in Matthew 18 and not take scripture out of context. He is speaking of an organized local church that had a problem with a member who needed to be disciplined. First...

You are wrong here. Here are a couple of verses where ouranos is used: Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which...

I am not sure what your argument is. The Sabbath is the Sabbath is the Sabbath, i.e., the seventh day of creation, the day that God rested, the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, a commandment given to the nation of Israel as a sign of a covenant made between them and the nation of...

All Christians believe that their founder is Christ. "Christian" "follower of Christ." The question is: Who has the greatest and most reliable evidence. I don't believe that the RCC has reliable evidence at all. First, I don't get the connection between Irenaeus and Napolean. Second, Irenaeus...

Isa 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isa 58:14 Then shalt...

I replied to this. I seems like the post went missing.

I appreciate your comments. The scenario I presented you with is a true event. But I can't give information past that point.

Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. There is nothing "moral" about keeping the Sabbath or even the "Christian Sabbath." There is nothing "immoral" about not keeping it. Holding a service on...

That may be true. The only references that are even remotely related to Gentile believers are found in the OT, and still relate more to Israel than to NT believers. In the NT there is still no command to keep the Sabbath. Even the command in Isaiah does not refer to the "Lord's Day" but to...

I am glad to hear you would agree. Icon and his twin IT would not, at least not from what I read in their posts. Everything is black and white. 1Cor.2:14 comes into play. He is unregenerate. He cannot understand spiritual things. Therefore he cannot understand the Bible he reads and cannot be...

Let me ask you about this scenario. What is your opinion? A man in a Muslim nation comes across a Bible. He begins reading the NT. Perhaps from the gospel of John he begins to understand why Islam is wrong, especially in the light of the present violence and the love of God presented in the...

Life is life. Abortion is the termination of a life, which is murder. If a woman is raped she still can overcome the trauma and carry the pregnancy to full term and then give the child up for adoption to the many would-be parents that have been waiting for years to have a child. I don't think...

No problem With all the information you have given (or lack thereof), I am inclined to give you (or the Pope) the benefit of the doubt here. I believe there are more important matters to discuss. However there is one part of what you said that I think should be addressed: I realize this is...

And you agreed. You also agreed that he did have faith. You are simply playing a game of semantics because you previously agreed with me in almost every every point. All men have faith, don't they? It may be as you call it "carnal" but it is faith. He did not exercise what you call "saving...

The Context: The two preceding verses say: Isa 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: Isa 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought...
