Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. Gen 3:1a

Satan, apparently, is a clever fellow. Do you suppose sometimes he tricks us into doing his will?

Would he have lived forever? Because, sin leads to death and he was the only man who lived without sin
.

For example.
Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Apparently this will be the case all the way up until the 2nd coming. Or better yet, once the 2nd coming has occurred, this will no longer be the case in the world.

Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD...

Can a Christian sin and still be saved?

This was asked of me in a previous thread.

So, what say you?

Some believe that the human will is free to choose Jesus. Doesn't this belief betray one's trust in his will rather than the will of God in order to be saved?

Moreover, isn't the view that the human will is free leads one to trust in his/her works to be saved rather than trust only in the works of Jesus to be saved?

Are there any views in Christianity that address this issue apart from unconditional election, conditional election and the works-based salvation of Catholicism?

What does truth in the Bible say as to whether the human will is free or not?

"It appears ridiculous to the world, under their darkened and erroneous traditions, that God has once been a finite being" (Deseret News, 16 Nov. 1859, p. 290).

1859 to 1984 sure is a long time.

On another thread someone commented that Christians should be able to figure out the “evils of contraception.” I’m not going to post the quote because I’m not trying to call anyone out. And I decided to start a new thread so as to not derail the other. That being said...

Excluding contraception that terminates life (Plan B, for example), please discuss how contraception that prevents fertilization (condoms, for example) are evil.

From the video I had on the Thread:
The Herald of Great Terror

Which oddly enough I posted on Sept. 1st and it died and went to the second page on
September 11.
A transcription for those who don't have time to view it. Please pay special attention to the focus, which isn't so much the Rev 12 sign in the sky but what happens after. . .

The video opens showing a movie where time slowed down, and says

Life is unsustainable.

No internet access, no news, no help

The earth is then shown...

Not at all.
Jesus gave us one Church, one Faith, one Baptism. We should all adhere to it.
I don't belong to a denomination. Jesus didn't create any denominations. He created His Church. No need for me to renounce anything when I'm already in adherence, in my own imperfect way, to His Call.The above quotes are from another thread which led me to start this thread.

Simple question: Is the RCC considered a Denomination?
Is so, why. If not, why not.
Thank you
