    Binding and Loosing

    From Matthew Chapter 16, Verse 18: The Primacy of Peter, for another perspective... "The Council of Ephesus, 431 AD No one doubts, in fact, it is obvious to all ages that the holy and most Blessed Peter, head and Prince of the Apostles, the pillar of faith, and the foundation of the...

    Romans 3:25

    To read this verse simply as what it says (without putting any meaning onto the verse from previous understanding) It seems that Paul is countering the argument that one still needs to follow the Old Covenant law....I don't see anywhere in this passage that "works of the law" are supposed to...

    I think I agree with you here.... Would the Orthodox Church be the modern successor of the Apostolic churches? Or the Roman Church (from their perspective)? Does the Apostolic Succession mean that the teachings of the Orthodox church are assumed to be in line with the Apostolic churches?

    Oh yes it can definitely become deep....I guess my only concern is that if the Scriptures were thought to contain any significant error, or that such a possibility were open, then we would have a very difficult time in knowing if anything that we know about our faith is really trustworthy...

    doesnt our understanding of Scripture come from some mortal's teaching though? Do we all not look to some other human to seek verification that our understanding of Scripture is accurate? If we are all able to interpret Scripture apart from anyone else's teaching, that would seem to leave the...

    Haha, if we never offended anyone (even other individuals on here) would we really be the "salt of the earth" that we are called to be? I still don't see what you have to apologize for :)

    I do indeed, seven years....look up a club in your area, its an incredibly intoxicating sport!! So really its just a question of the humanity of the Scriptures....not that they containt significant, theologically relevent errors, but that they have enough influence from the human portion of...

    Age of Accountability

    [/FONT][/SIZE] I don't think this is necessarily true.....because James clearly says that "faith without works is dead".... Paul is very specific when he says "works of the law." There would have to be a differentiation....My mind is drawn to the Judaizers who taught that one could only be...

    Creationist Philosophy

    Be careful with how you describe evolution as anti-Genesis. Microevolution is a perfectly legitimate scientific fact, and one that faces no contradiction in Genesis......Macroevolution--where molecules become man--does not have the scientific (or theologic) support that microevolution has...

    Creationist Philosophy

    Oooo kudos, you put this very well...... How do we subsequently explain the extreme genetic similarity between ourselves and other great apes? I like the way you have said these things....have you been talking to Hupomone10 by any chance? lol He often differenitates between Spirit, Soul...

    Clearly people are not infallible......but how does that render one's teaching fallible?

    Binding and Loosing

    You need not be so apologetic friend...lol What in the NT Scriptures are imperfect? That would seem to introduce an almost insufferable amount of doubt as to the validity of our faith?

    Creationist Philosophy

    Thought question: Could the "dust of the earth" refer to the molecular composition of Adam? That he was formed directly from the molecules that compose a living organism.....and Jesus was divinely conceived....thus, "of heaven"?
