Deacon..I will certainly add Kylie to my prayers. My step-daughter (adult) has been fighting colon and stomach cancer for over ten years. Sadly, a cancer fight is not merely a skirmish, but a long, protracted war. :confused:

Understood, and thank you for clarifying the application of those verses. I should have read through them more carefully for the context. Having now read the entire thread, I'll just continue to follow along.

Jesus said: Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. When Jesus would preach to the people, there were crowds gathered to listen and learn. Some would believe and be saved, and some would not, but would return to hear Him again. One...

Agreed...100%

I knew that Landmark Baptists embraced much of Calvinism, but not much more about their particulars. The article at the link is loaded with new information to be learned....thank you greatly for sharing it.

Coming to any type of firm conclusion with Genesis 1 is something I have wrestled with, at length. Being a bit of a space/cosmology nerd, I know there are certain processes that have taken place in the universe that require extended lengths of time..not in thousands of years, but in millions...

Cathode, the members here have shown you, clearly, that there is great error in your Catholic theology, and Biblical truth has been presented to you. There is still time to change your mind, and I would encourage you to prayerfully seek the wisdom of God, so that you may not pass into eternity...

Cathode, No verse? I can see your mind is set on your idolatry, so there is little sense in continuing to discuss the matter. Regarding the "communion of saints", I did a bit of research and studied the Vatican catechism..it says this: Paragraph 5, Part II..verse 954: "954 The three states of...

Can you provide a verse (from any Bible) that speaks of those you deem to be "saints" (aka: the dead) being a heavenly mediator or intercessor between God and mankind? As an example, let's say you are going to take a trip to Rome, Italy. You pray to St. Christopher that you have a safe and...

Have to admit...the fightin' Baptist in me truly wants to give you an earful, however being a new(ish) member here I will try to be polite. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new...

The combined Biblical knowledge of the members in this site is wonderfully amazing... I tend to think of these issues in much more simple terms, as God did not intend for His word to be complicated and confusing. Why would I ask Mary (or any other deceased individual) to go before God and...

Thank you brothers for your input..your opinions are very much appreciated. After prayer and consideration, I agree. She is an intelligent young woman, but no one has ever sat down and shared the Gospel with her. The Holy Spirit brings clarity and understanding to that which confuses the lost.

It has been my practice in the past, that when God has allowed me to help bring a lost soul to Jesus and redemption, I like to give them a new Bible to help guide them in their new life in Christ. I come from an IFB/KJVO background, but in the past year or so I find myself less IFB and less...

If I had all day I might be able to walk it, but.....run? I don't do "run".

I too believe that Christ's return will be unexpected, but unexpected for the lost. Christians who are prepared (as was Noah for the flood) will be expecting the Lord's return and, as you stated, will be ready. Noah had notice from God and time to build the Ark, and Lot was given time to bring...

Mark 13 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and...

Was raised Catholic, and attended 11 years of Catholic schools, including an all-male Catholic high school. While I did receive a good education that has carried me though life, as far as the Catholic Mass and church go.....the best term I could use is "Made Up". I don't see the Catholic church...

That particular wile likely sits in the "top 10" of Satan's tools. Use the wife to cause the husband to sin, or vice versa. A very good reason why, as much as we would love our spouse, that our love and devotion to God must come first. In that, the husband protects the wife, the wife...

Based upon your pastor's comments, the only way to avoid sin, or certain death in this situation would be to deny the Jews safe harbor. I consider this option as morally unacceptable.

You are absolutely correct...you did mention it in the first post, and somehow I focused on the question rather than your comment and either missed it when I read back through the thread, or it just didn't register. Either way, my apologies for an unnecessary post.
