    Questions about purgatory

    1 Cor. 15 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Hebrew 4:12 "For the word of God is living and...

    Questions about purgatory

    You are aware that Jesus and His disciples did not have the same bible we have today? They had the Torah, and the Tenach. Do you use a bible that contains the New Testament? If you do you aren't using the same "bible" that Jesus used.

    Questions about purgatory

    I think you are referring to the unforgivable sin. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Jesus is not implying that we will need forgiveness when we enter into eternity. His death and resurrection atone for our sins. We will have an eternal body when we enter into heaven. Our...

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    I've been doing some more study. And I found something rather interesting. Luke 11:27-28 27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." 28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey...

    Power of the Holy Spirit!

    This is probably why the church of today does not have the same power of the 1st century church.

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    If you read my original post, I asked for scriptures. I am still doing that, so how is this a ruse?

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    I don't see where in God's word it says that I can pray to Mary. Paul does tell us that we should pray continuously for the saints. He is telling us we need to pray for all those who believe in Christ. I also don't see where it says Mary is more righteous then anyone else. Jesus has been given...

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    Where is it mentioned in God's word that Mary did not commit a sin her entire life? And where is it mentioned that Mary was created pre fall?

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    I was hoping for an answer related to why we need to pray to Mary. I never questioned our need to pray. I also never suggested we shouldn't pray for the non believer. I did however question the need to pray to Mary, and asked for scriptural evidence. Isn't God the Father the creator and...

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    Isn't our belief in Christ enough? Why do we need to have Mary pray for us? I can't find a scriptural reference to suggest that we need any further assistance for redemption other then our belief in Christ. What scripture supports the need to pray to Mary?

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    Is it really our church? Jesus said He would build His church, so doesn't this mean the church is His?

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    Can you explain why "kecharitoene" is used only once in reference to Mary? I have seen many time in God's word, where there are multiple scriptures to support a particular truth. I am curious why only Luke records the exchange in this manner.

    Please help, questions about Purgatory and Mary.

    I have to ask a serious question. I was following another thread and it linked to a website. On that website was a daily prayer to Mary. Here is excerpt from that prayer: "In thine intercession I put all my trust, all my hope of salvation" Would you truthfully put all of your hope in your...

    Gifts of the spirit

    I think we need to make sure we believe in the gifts of the Spirit and let God handle what gifts He wants us to have. God is everlasting and He does not change. His Word is without error and we should not add to it. This doesn't mean that God can't decide He needs someone to have a gift that...

    Why are we so messed up?

    Until recently, I have belonged to denominational churches. I have held to their doctrines, without always weighing them against God's word. Over the course of the past two years I have begun questioning why I believed what I believed. This was never about Christ, or grace, or the fundamentals...
