I spoke with a demoniac and he said, "Jesus is Lord" also.

LOL! the Jews are wrong. Why would their false practices lend any weight to your argument? Yep. Remember them. Don't talk to them, for heaven's sake---and for your own spiritual sake!

Good! I am glad you agree that it has nothing to do with dead saints and prayer to them.

There is no Church government that Jesus instituted. That is man's idea. Jesus has given all of His followers--all Christians (who are the Church, the Bride of Christ) His authority to preach the Gospel in His power and in His name. The Reformation did a good thing in breaking away from the...

It also evaporates into thin air...

What you say here is proof that you cannot possibly trust the Holy Spirit who is supposed to be dwelling within you to teach you by His word. Do not place your doubts upon others.

What is that to signify? That is a call out to the angelic who do the bidding of the Lord and no one else.

You give a false, dangerous and far too simplistic explanation for Jeremiah 31! Re: Jeremiah 31:15 The mourning at Ramah is a forecast of that bitter wailing which would be raised by the mothers of the slaughtered babes of Bethlehem centuries later when Herod would attempt to kill the Christ...

It would behoove the living to rejoice and encourage each other in our giftings. After death is useless. Those saints who have gone before us leave us a legacy of faithfulness. No ritual declaration changes that.

I don't know that they did. Relics is another area of unbiblical belief. Commemmoration of people's deaths isn't a biblical mandate. It is a man-made and unnecessary tradition. No one prayed to dead prophets for intercession. We know by the scriptures that we have only Jesus Christ as...

I ask my sisters and brothers in Christ to pray, as they do me. I don't ask my dead sisters and brothers because they do not hear me...only Jesus does as my mediator between myself and Father God. Yeah some ducks are praying outside of the will of God.

I have God's guarantee that my sins are cleansed and never remembered. We have no business sitting here on planet earth declaring people saints or in heaven apart from anyone else. We know each other by our fruit. No one has any more standing than 'saint'--even in the here and now.

How does anyone know someone is in heaven? They could be the biggest fakes! We can only know by faith that what they professed by faith was the truth. No one can declare someone to have any standing after death and have that standing all of a sudden take effect in the heavenlies. Upon death...

Great post! :clap:

Name those names!

We can only be sure of our own destiny, not others', by what we do with Jesus.

I understood completely, raze. Hence, the differentiation.

Do you purposely try to oppose? Are you a true seeker or not? Perhaps you need to change your designation. Jesus hated the religious fronts of the people of His day. He never taught religion or showed His disciples how to be religious. If I am not making sense, I cannot help that. It is the...

In some people it is indeed inverted pride. We must be careful. God wants us to be strong in Him and know who we are in Christ, and not shy away or back off from what He calls us to, which is to stand up for Jesus Christ boldly and without reservation, declaring Him as Saviour and Lord, and...

I absolutely am not religious. Jesus hated religiosity, and shouted at those who were, calling them appropriate names as well. I hate what he hates---we all should.
