    What's all the fuss?

    Equal but different. Complimentary! Women are to subordinate, but not to be dominated; and men are to be self-sacrificial in support of women. Two helpful scriptures: "Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. I also want the women to...

    In Christ

    Quite simply, that Christ lives inside of you. If The Holy Spirit is inside you, then you are in Christ. (when speaking about the indwelling Spirit of God that is present inside the body of the believer, the Bible interchangeable refers to the Spirit as Jesus and The Holy Spirit) If Christ is...

    St. Jerome: 'Against Vigilantius' (...a defense of relics, prayers to saints, and virgin priests)

    Yeah, unfortunately much of the dialogue between Christians over the ages has been filled with accusations and condemnations. Martin Luther was probably the worst about this. But I do not think it is a good reason for dismissing the arguments made. I am not sure where your comments about the...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation? YES

    it is amazing the back flips and gymnastics that people will do in order to twist and change the clear meaning of a scripture in order to appease their human doctrines. Let's just go through each of these things, one at a time... BRIGHTHOUSE... 1) The parable of the sower... there is a...

    By faith alone? NO!!!

    Divorce and remarriage is always a sin so long as your spouse is still alive

    but beyond these discussions about possible exceptions to marriage... let me ask you: if you make a promise to God that you will be faithful to one person, for better or worse, till death do you part.... are you obligated to honor your promise? is adultery "worse" ? did you not promise to...

    Divorce and remarriage is always a sin so long as your spouse is still alive

    whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality... does what? does the verse say... "whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, commits a sin" ? does the verse say... "whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality...

    Divorce and remarriage is always a sin so long as your spouse is still alive

    the verse in Matthew says that if you divorce your wife then you make her commit adultery, unless she already committed adultery, in which case she made herself commit adultery. the verse does not say "you can divorce your wife if she commits adultery". the verse says "if you divorce your...

    Apostolic Succession

    I have a very positive attitude toward the early church, this is true. The early church was neither Roman Catholic nor Eastern Orthodox, in fact it was both catholic and orthodox. I trust that God was working in the early church in order to develop and maintain the scriptures and important...

    Apostolic Succession

    Travis, I am merely doing my duty, as an unworthy servant of Christ, to judge a righteous judgment.

    Apostolic Succession

    Travis, I never said, and I do not think that anyone else is arguing, that there has been a successive line of Apostle's. Rather, a successive line of people who trace their lineage back to the Apostles. Big difference! Jesus promised to preserve His church, not the Roman Catholics or the...

    Apostolic Succession

    Hey Travis! Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, now. Of course, "apostolic succession" (which only means an unbroken line of elders going back to the apostles) is not a guarantee of anything. However, as you said, the Apostles did transfer their authority to men they had...

    Divorce and remarriage is always a sin so long as your spouse is still alive

    I do not want to get into a Scriptural debate about this issue. Because this is so much more simple than that. The traditional marriage vow goes like this: "Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking...

    Catholic theology equals a jesus christ not come in the flesh

    No. The Roman Catholics spent much of their first few hundred years as an organization defending their faith against attacks from people who claimed that Christ did not come in the flesh. Read Roman Catholic dogma, they emphatically declare that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. You...

    Apostolic Succession

    Hello Sue, The doctrine of apostolic succession is rooted in the Bible. "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." 2 Timothy 2:2 We see in the Bible the history of the development of the early...

    Should Christians smoke?

    It is a sin, in my opinion.

    Depart from Me, I Never Knew You ~ Meaning of Matthew 7:21-23

    Ok guys and gals. I will stick with 2,000 years of historic, traditonal Christianity, inspired by The Holy Spirit, and the plain teachings of the New Testament. You guys can go with what you want to go with. Regards, -Taylor

    Depart from Me, I Never Knew You ~ Meaning of Matthew 7:21-23

    Mikej, your soul is not in my hands, or in anyone else's hands. Your soul is in God's hands. Going back to your idea that the greek word "anomia" means 'destitute of the law of Moses'; that would be incorrect. The word simply means lawlessness. Now, you are probably under the teaching of...
