    Catholic Church is more Biblical than Protestantism!

    I must say the catholic way of speaking is far different from the evangelical way of speaking, and a bit refreshing, only because it's different than I'm accustomed to contending with. What is Johannine, according to Catholics? Thank you. The "by grace alone, through faith alone" 's out are...

    Can God be moral?

    Think I completely missed your point on this one, tried reading it several times. So correct me if I misunderstood you. But to me it seems like you are arguing that being a slave is only a temporary position and that eventually they will be free? But I don't really see how that relate to the...

    Can God be moral?

    Good question, and one that often comes up. Most people haven't read very fully in the new testament, and so aren't able to completely understand the instruction given about remaining slaves (that it is temporary). Even the full passage quotes (below) are not yet enough to show that: 5...

    What is it that you looking for ( in your spiritual journey)

    In my own search for God I was looking for answers.....I had so many questions because I need to know the why"s of things and they have to sit well with my heart. I was taught about God in my church but he was not someone I could love or get close to. I heard a lot of talk but there was never...

    The Artist Magistra Q that hopefully can shed some light

    LOL... I need to ask Him! I think we get hung up on a law-type of mentality too many times. I remember someone who said, "The God that made that sun" and was delivered from his situation (have tried to find it on the internet with no success yet). People who don't know what to call Him do the...

    The LORD is my shepherd

    Yes I agree. But the savior was sent by one who is a greater Savior. The one sent is not equal to the one who sent him if that one is described as his "servant". (Acts 3:13) That is where we diverge I believe. The relationship between Father and son is not the same as that described with the...

    The LORD is my shepherd

    Deeje, it sounds like your experiences have for ever prejudiced your views. I'm inclined to go with Jesus' words in Matthew 13:24-30. He said, 'let both [the tares and wheat] grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the...

    Religious vs. Nonreligious - Who is More Trustworthy?

    So a marketing man who may possibly be JW himself gives his personal opinion in a book without any scientific research to back his anecdotal claim. Big deal

    Religious vs. Nonreligious - Who is More Trustworthy?

    J. J. Luna is the author of a book entitled “How to be invisible.” In it, he encourages employers looking for cleaning help (dealing w/ sensitive documents), to ask for Jehovah’s Witnesses.... he states (on pgs. 81, 82 or 89): “In actual practice we usually end up with [Jehovah’s] Witnesses.”...

    Anti-immigration People are Sodomites.

    Bob, you can take whatever texts you’d like and interpret them however you’d like, make whichever equivalences you want with them, use them to try and control/guilt trip others but the fact won’t change that Jesus and God would be in a much more powerful position to act than inferior humans...

    Anti-immigration People are Sodomites.

    Yeah. Because what Jesus loves the most is lukewarmness and mediocrity. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 And whatever you do, in word...

    Works vs Doctrine

    I do read your posts, for example, Colossians says (which you quoted) 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. – I’ve already said that rewards/crowns...

    Works vs Doctrine

    Christ resurection saves you because of your faith Ephesians 2:8; and, your faith isnt justified without your actions. They work together. Colossians 3:23-24 --->> This is works. Without works, christ does not work through you. As a result, no salvation because faith is a conviction and...

    Jesus is not God Almighty Himself

    Jesus is addressed as God in some locations in the New Testament. We all agree to this. The question is: in what sense is he called God? The challenge for Trinitarians is to establish that the term should be interpreted literally rather than using the existing precedent in scripture as when...

    Jesus is not God Almighty Himself

    * Then Jesus is being called God. Revelation 1:6 Colossians 3:17 Colossians 3:23 Colossians 3:24 * Note the contradiction, of how you are using the name, God, saying that it is vague, and, and also arguing that it isn't vague. The general problem with your argument, besides the contradictory...

    God talking

    Respectfully, you may not know that I've read the entire Bible multiple times in multiple versions. I've discussed the faith and works issues with all kinds of people as well. I've read these verses and discussed Hebrews 13, Romans 2, Ephesians 2 and etc. with many people, to help them with...

    God talking

    You must read my point and context. You also need to read all the scriptures I post and see how they relate since the Bible works as a unit not by book. James doesn't agree with the rest of the Bible???? Faith/deeds: Ephesians 2: 8-9 You must read the verses I'm listing. They are about faith...

    God talking

    I see some issues here, respectfully: "My parent gave us gifts as a teaching tool" I give gifts and have received them in the name of love, not teaching. When a friend needs $50 to pay a bill, either I pay it or don't, but NOT paying the bill teaches them to go out and make money. The very...

    God talking

    My parent gave us gifts as a teaching tool Its based on love. Obligation isnt somethng you are forced to do. It is sometihng you want to do. Why dont you want to do anything for god? I dont see salvation as a free gift that god just throws in your hands and then you can sit and enjoy the...
