    More Conservative Censorship

    Hello Metis, Here's hoping that you have a blessed and meaningful Sunday. I may oversimplify things, but here is how I look at it taking an example from the bible in Philippians 1: 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will 16 The one preach Christ of...

    Can belief move mountains?

    For example, if you had faith (or reassured hope) that your loved one will visit you but hasn't bought a plane ticket to do so, faith is fine but it's not based on evidence. If you had faith that your loved one will visit you and she showed you a copy of her plane ticket, you no longer need...

    Can belief move mountains?

    o_O Can you explain that? If they have evidence they don't need faith? If they know God, they don't need faith? The whole reason faith exists is because of the evidence... the knowing. You quoted the words just now. Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Act 5:41-42 (ESVST) 41Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. 42And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. (Hmm, no mention of paradise...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Thank you for those verses....but the one thing missing from all of them is the kingdom. The gospel (good news) is about Christ and his role as king of God's kingdom......but what is the kingdom itself? Do you see anything in those verses that define the kingdom? When Jesus taught us to pray...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    So we both agree that the Apostles taught/preached what Jesus taught them to teach/preach, correct? And you claim Jesus told them to teach/preach the "Good News of the Kingdom", correct? This is what I believe the "Good News" to be: Acts 5:41-42 (ESVST) 41 Then they left the presence of the...

    Theory of Final Authority

    Historically and logically, Theology is the master university science and was central in the development of higher education at Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale and Princeton. The central critical issue in academic Theology is final authority. I wish to present my theory of final...

    What is to be made of Howard Camping?

    :rolleyes: The Apostle Paul wrote: "Philippians 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence...

    Christians: Where do you draw the line?

    Killing people in the name of Christ isn't the same thing as preaching Christ out of envy. No, it doesn't clear up the misconception.

    Christians: Where do you draw the line?

    Philippians 1:15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up...

    Why don't we have the same opinions?

    You say this as if it's a BAD thing. Diversity is GREAT. It makes life interesting and fun! Paul had a wonderful attitude about SOME diversity. Philippians 1:15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I...

    Catholic Church The First

    Hey Scuba Pete, If I correctly understand what you are saying, I believe what you have proclaimed is false in the light of all of Scripture. The message of the cross is foolishness for those who are perishing. It is an offense to the carnal mind and unregenerate. The unveliever is at war with...
