This totally changes what you said about it. You said: “No one besides the Nation Israel knew anything about the OT scriptures and it would be useless to draw them with the scriptures.” Lots of Gentiles were learning the OT scriptures — and Solomon and Isaiah both mentioned these foreigners...

@JD731 said — No one besides the Nation Israel knew anything about the OT scriptures and it would be useless to draw them with the scriptures. But it was not part of the plan. —————————- Wrong. Gentiles knew enough of the Hebrew Scriptures for the “wise men”, kings of the east, to bring gifts...

So it is sad that Roman Catholics only partake of half the Eucharist, the bread, not the wine.

https://www.catholic.com/qa/why-does-only-the-priest-receive-from-the-chalice The time-honored Catholic practice of receiving only the consecrated host contradicts the correct practice called Utraquism. The name comes from the Latin word utraque, meaning “both.” This means everyone is obliged...

Unfortunately, in the Roman Catholic Church, you are deprived of the blood of Christ in the Eucharist. Only the priest partakes of the wine. This is a terrible shame, to receive only half of the communion elements. The RC Church teaches "concomitance," meaning Jesus is fully present—body...

I have heard another teaching on what “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting” might mean. Fasting, coupled with prayer, is depicted as a way to intensify one's spiritual focus and dependence on God. In biblical times, fasting was a common practice for seeking God's guidance...

@JD731 To say that after the resurrection of Jesus, there are no more instances of the Father “drawing to Christ” the unsaved — this is a semantics issue. Why would the Father suddenly stop drawing people to His Son, when His will is for all humans to be saved? To lead seems the same as to...

Some scholars say that we should adore the mysteries of Deity and not try to figure out every little detail. Many devout questions will not be answered in this life. Yet attempting to probe deeply into the arcane secrets of God’s Word is an expression of our respect for the veracity and...

To be fair to brother @37818 this is a very interesting topic __ and the idea of Michael the Archangel being a title of the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ is not completely absurd. The Angel of the LORD is said to often mean God Himself, perhaps as the pre-incarnate Christ. It is good for us all...

Just because a denomination or sect participates in spiritual disciplines does not mean they think that these works earn their salvation. We in the west have few spiritual disciplines, other than attending church services once or twice a week.

Black History Month exists partly because blacks have not been given credit due to them in standard history books. Their contributions to the military, science, society, etc. has not been covered as much as they should be. If we learn about Dr. Carter G. Woodson, "The Father of Black History,"...

To say there is no more instances of the Father “drawing to Christ” the unsaved — this seems like a semantics issue. To lead seems the same as to draw. Romans 2:4 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth...

In Roman Catholic tradition, while both bread and wine must be consecrated by the priest for a valid Mass, the congregation often receives only the consecrated host (Body), while the priest consumes the consecrated wine (Blood) alone. This practice supposedly stems from historical, logistical...

Thanks, but I was looking for the specific phrase “sinned in Adam”. Your verses are relevant, though. “All have sinned” in themselves, but not in Adam. Because of Adam is a better way to put it. “In Adam all die” because death reigns due to Adam’s sin. By Adam’s disobedience many were made...

Quote me some Bible verses that say babies or anybody “sinned in Adam”.

kyredneck is okay. He declares what he thinks and people respond to it. There are very few real discussions going on here. Repeating an opinion over and over again is the common tactic. Theological sore points spin in fruitless circles, going nowhere. There is mostly the expression of enigmatic...

Sometimes a discussion goes nowhere. It becomes a bedlam of people stubbornly expressing their thoughts and pitting them against other thoughts. Some do it seriously, others do it maliciously.

Fruit will be seen and known. We are saved by faith and judged by works. Matthew 7:16-20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot...

Another heretical false teacher. Attacking the scriptures in this nutty way is not enlightening or profound. “If you get it wrong, it’s only heaven or hell, right?” This is not serious or scholarly. Walsh calls into question the idea that the gospels are products of traditions going back to...
