As an ex-Protestant who hopes the churches will one day reunify, I'm not particularly fond of the term. Wolsley might have accurately explained the term "co" in the Latin sense, but if the Catholic Church ever hopes to bring the Protestants under her umbrella, areas of potential confusion need to be dealth with.

In my opinion, the term "co-redemptrix" is one of them.

That's not to say that I don't think she's important. My old Protestant pastor said to me once about Marian apparitions "There's been a lot of them!"

Then he added "I think they're a judgement on a divided church".

God has been sending Mary with mesages, and a lot of Christians haven't been taking any notice.

She points to Christ viz. as at the wedding at Cana "Do whatever He tells you".

Odd: First you've stated "it's not credible" to think that anyone would skip to the last two seconds. Then you imply that the WH knew it was there when it was posted. This presents a problem for your argument. If it's not credible that anyone would skip to the last two seconds, thus missing the portion in question, then it's also not credible to assume that the WH wouldn't have done the exact same thing. OTHO, if the WH knew the two seconds were there when posting the clip, it's no longer credible to assume that "anyone" would not miss the last two seconds of the link I posted.

Like it or not, as what happened in this very forum has shown, it is entirely plausible someone wouldn't watch the video all the way to the last two seconds even after it was pointed out that the portion in question is at the very end. That's not going to sit well with some, but there it is.

Bottom line is the President is ultimately responsible for the post.

Maybe, but there are a lot of coincidences when it comes to the number 666.

Coincidences are things that can lead to superstitions. Friday the 13th was a bad day for the Knights Templers, so people assumed it was bad luck. Like every other day, bad things happen on Friday the 13th, so people reinforce the superstition. Walking under a ladder is also bad luck, but it was originally because somebody working on the ladder might drop something on your head. There is no magic, just human superstition expanded from actual events. If you see signs of Satan everywhere, are you giving power to Satan or God?

This may be the doing of the particular people involved in charge of broadcasting the event.

Correct. It was NBC. The BBC and other broadcasters didn’t edit out the booing.

Why do the Republicans and other “conservatives“ want to limit immigration so badly?

It's not that we want to "limit" immigration... It's that we want to control immigration, and not allow immigration to control us.

...Imagine living your life in such a way that your environment controls your every move, a life where what people say about you is how you view yourself, an environment where you do what the world tells you to do. But no, If you want to be free, YOU control how you view yourself, YOU control what job you want, and YOU control your own destiny... This is the basis of freedom, and this is the foundation of American representation that we wish to hold onto. Controlling who enters our country is an extension of American core values. We cannot allow the entire world to flood into our country - we will lose representation of who we are, and we will succumb to the world, and become the world.

Please try and place yourself in my shoes with thinking this way. Then respond after. I would wholeheartedly appreciate a soulful response on why this is incorrect thinking.

I thought you might like seeing that it is not just here that globe earthers insult people who do not believe in their lie. But it also happens at other christian forums.

I can see this. It was interesting to read what other Christians think of the moon landings and on the forum you gave a link for, on the moon landing thread they have a poll & there are quite a few who don't believe the moon landings happened & they state this also.

No I'm not. Empathy in this case is being used to go along with sin and say that it's all okay and that God made them that way. Embrace it, support it, even celebrate it.

Jesus is the savior of all men because He died for the sins of the world. He did not force Himself on all men, but all men had a chance to be saved. You are correct in that some of those who received His testimony and endure will rule over those on the new earth. Those on the new earth are those who did not receive His testimony, yet they did aid the brethren of Jesus.

Isaiah 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the Lord, "So shall your descendants and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me," says the Lord. 24 "And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh." NKJV

In verse 24 the people on the new earth will look on the corpses of those who transgressed against God. Corpses indicate a dead body. Not all men will be saved. God wanted it that way but left it up to the person to decide where they go.

We are all "near" the judgment. We have an immediate need to respond to the message and to deliver the message. That's what we should be doing.

Is anyone talking about the Kingdom of God? People get mad at me when I talk about it. God's Kingdom must have something to do with justice. We know that God's justice is not the same as man's justice. In fact, I am told it is against the law to teach God's justice in law school. AT least the school my sister in law went to.

Justice as God defines it: restoring what was broken, healing what was damaged, and setting creation back into alignment. The Kingdom of God is described as:

God’s presence revealed
God’s justice made visible
the world restored to its intended order
evil removed from the community
boundaries re‑established
people transformed, not punished

So these “facts” (where are you getting your numbers/stats?…sounds dubious) are to impress upon us the virtues of legalizing abortion nation-wide at tax payer expense? (Abortions had been government subsidized before overturning Roe V Wade) Abortion necessarily is against the Christian faith. Many taxpayers are Christians and conscience stricken Christians are opposed to funding abortion.

The facts are to show people that the abortion issue is still with us, worse than ever and now mothers are dying along with it.

Maybe these 4 things the Apostles pointed out, knowing they would find God's other instructions in righteousness through Moses.........

I completely disagree with your "4 Law" philosophy, based on what is actually written in Scriptures. It would be a great topic of study for those seeking honor, glory and immortality.

I hope you might re-consider the message the Spirit of Christ was sending through Acts 15.

Im afraid I could not reconsider what is plainly written. The council was NOT discussing the moral law, but the law of Moses, of rite, ritual and ceremony. There was much debate, there would have been no debate concerning murder, adultery, stealing would there, an instant decision would have been made! Im afraid, the truth is, whether people accept it or not, as sin is the transgression of the law, if you are correct, by the leaders of the church only asking gentiles to follow four laws, it is an indisputable fact they gave gentiles a licence to sin, no way around that Im afraid
And your emboldened is proved to be false by Acts21:25 Years after the Jerusalem council the leaders of the church confirmed to Paul they were STILL(STILL) only asking gentiles to follow the same four laws, none had been added.

John Bauer said:
He was right about one thing: There were basically five central points that defined fundamentalists in the early 20th century. But he evidently dropped a key doctrinal dispute and split another in order to maintain five in number. He also softened the language a bit.

The five central points were.

the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture,

the full deity of Christ,

the virgin birth,

the substitutionary atonement, and

the bodily resurrection.

The core doctrine missing from his list was 2, the necessary full deity of Christ. Due to such liberal theology as Schleiermacher, and higher criticism, the deity of Christ was being recast in functional, moral, or experiential terms (e.g., Christ as the supreme God-conscious man). The fundamentalists therefore affirmed the deity of Christ in explicit terms as a test of orthodoxy and to maintain the logic of redemption.

The softened language pertains to 1 and 4. True, Scripture is without error (inerrancy), but it is also God-breathed (inspiration), the product of the Spirit’s superintendence, so that the words of Scripture are God’s words. And he said the death of Jesus “paid for sin,” which is ambiguous; the fundamentalists asserted and defended a substitutionary atonement against liberal drifts (often explicitly penal).

I guess I'm not a true-fundie then because I'm a Realist and I put Critical Philosophy before Faith, doing so without apology and holding the Bible under the scope of Critical Study where it has to earn its place in my mind and heart.

Still......I'm not inclined to go the way of Schleiermacher or Brunner; I'm somewhere floating in-between epistemologically and evidentially, remaining as an equal opportunity applier of Critical Thinking wherever and to whomever seeks to get into my face and tell me I'm wrong, which includes not only Christians, but non-Christians, ex-Christians and anti-christians.

However, if we feel we need to reduce faith down to some 5 principles then mine would be:

1) The 1st Century messengers of the Church of Christ are inspired and carry authority

2) The Full Deity and Humanity of Jesus Christ

3) Affirmation of the Virgin Birth

4) The Substitutionary Atonement

5) The Bodily Resurrection

Of course, unlike those in specific Trintarian denominations, I don't require anyone else to mirror my 5 points in order to have fellowship with them. Their subscription to Traditional Trinitarianism will suffice.

You might not want to share your diagnosis with everyone. You can explain away idiosyncrasies as they arise such as I am a bit of an introvert, or I am not much of a hugger.

You might be interested in knowing that Asperger’s Syndrome was removed as a diagnosis by the American Psychiatry Association in 2014. Everything is now wrapped up in three types of Autism. Type one, type two and type three. The Symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome were too similar to Autism.

At one time I believed that I had Asperger’s syndrome until I discovered that it was removed as a diagnosis.

Another update - a demonic one at that. My uncle/doctors have gone behind our backs to schedule this amputation anyways. This is a violation of my grandfather's will to begin with. It was apparently scheduled for today (the hospital made an accidental call and the truth came out). The worst part is my uncle ditched my grandfather AGAIN, on the day this operation was scheduled. My parents are both very sick right now and it's not possible to see him. Please pray that God will shut down the plans of these wicked people (especially considering the fact they cant start this procedure without approval). We are very worried they are going to kill him

Thank you brother Benaiah468, you can never know how I needed that at this time in my walk of life. ("Yahweh builds up")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the etymology of the name, the first part of Benaiah comes from the root-verb בנה (bana), which is a common Hebrew verb meaning "to build". The second part of Benaiah is יה (Yah), which is not a derivative of the Tetragrammation YHVH but a contraction of it (ie, the first and last consonants of יהוה are contracted as יה

As listed on my Official Birth Certificate my time of birth is 10:12am
My birth date is October 12 (10th month 12th day).

1012 + 8053 = 9,065 = 9 + 65 = Jesus (English Ordinal) 74

Oh My God, I just found this:

The first occurrence of 8053 in Phi is preceded by 777 + 111

....................................................................................^ <-- 447th digit

777 + 111 = 888

I am the LORD thy God אני יהוה אלהיך (Original Text) 66 + 26 + 61 = 153

5th Sunday after Epiphany here. I preached on Isaiah 58, and letting the oppressed go free. Which does oddly relate to questions of racism, at least in our context...

Hmm. I hope that came with some nuance?

If you mean that you hope it was not some loud dogmatic point forbidding us to worry and threatening anyone who ever has with hellfire, no it was not like that. We have this priest who is still training, and he comes to us once a month in order to experience life at the more catholic end of the range, I think his other church is more low church style. He is very kind and gentle, and he quoted the Sermon on the Mount, and the focus was about trusting God to provide for us.

The bottom line is that ICE needs proper training, and even criminal and illegal aliens have protection under the Constitution, so the administration needs to abide by proper law and order and give justice to all not just some of the people. The constitution says all and that means all of the people.

Those who violate the law, impeding ICE and other law enforcement, should be held accountable. It is too late for Laken Riley and so many others, the days of the two-tiered justice system implemented under the Biden administration must come to an end. ICE must not be stopped from rescuing the trafficked women and children and arresting hardened criminals and terrorists.

Moreover, Paul states:

Romans 14:5-6
5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. (NKJV)

Rom 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Paul is referring to things that are doubtful disputations.

Is the Testimony of God, the commandments of God written by God under the mercy seat of God, something blessed and sactified by God, ever a doubtful disputation? Its sad what people do with the writings of Paul.

When the old testament (covenant or contract) was established with the nation of Israel it was with the purpose of their being a nation of priests to bring the knowledge of God to the whole world. Most of the Old Testament is a record of the repeated failures of the nation to fulfill the promise their ancestors made.

In the Old Testament are promises of a new covenant that would be given to the nation in the future. The gospel portion of the New Testament describes Jesus offering to the nation of Israel the earthly kingdom as promised. The gospel (good news) of the kingdom was not received by most. The book of Acts describes the decreasing possibility of Israel reviving the kingdom at that time.

The boo of Acts also describes the call of Paul to be an apostle to the gentiles. The gospel of grace for the gentiles was not revealed in the past because Israel was given the opportunity to receive their earthly kingdom.

The new testament (covenant or contract) with Israel has not yet been established. It will be when a surviving faithful remnant of Israel receives the return of Jesus and the earthly kingdom is established. This will be at the end of a seven year period of tribulation.
