= Totally subjective, and Lord spare me from being led astray by the inventions of man. = Totally objective, and thank you Lord for your perfect Word that converts the soul.

Nice tribute. :)

Your question and ideas are dangerously presumptuous, even with the potential to be contemptuous of God and idolatrous. If you think you can instruct God to do anything then either you think you are greater than God or the God you think about is not the God of the Scriptures. There is NOT ONE...

Now, Thursday, you cannot have it both ways! In the first quote you say THERE ARE contradictory doctrines and false teachings among those who follow Jesus. then, in the second quote of you say THERE ARE NO false teachings or contradictory doctrines in the Church. (I reasonably understand you...

Your statement in itself proves that there is false teaching in the Church. To be sure, there are false teachings and divisions over truth in the church, for we read the evidence in the Lord's Scriptures. Here are a few examples.. 1Co 11:18-19 NIV In the first place, I hear that when you come...

When you say, 'multiple contradictory doctrines, divisions among followers of Jesus, confusion, and false teachings' do you mean those doctrines, divisions, confusion and false teachings that are made by the Ekklesia (among others)? My point is this, "Sola Ekklesia" guarantees nothing as far as...

Hello Bob, What part of what I have said is not in alignment with the Scriptures?

This directive should not be swayed to read against 'what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths', by any means. It is about not allowing yourself to be condemned for how you live according to your choice and conscience before the Lord --...

Is this a Biblical law or an extra-Biblical requirement?

I think you will find that ekklesia means called-out ones, and it is the called-out ones who assemble. Being called out is at the root of our being as Christ's people. Without his calling us, we do not exist as his people, regardless of whether there is a gathering of people. After all, any...

When you say, 'So saying...' you imply that I said that which you then portray as fact. Again, that is verballing someone. At the core of reasonable and civil-minded critical discussion we should NOT make our interpretation or hyper-interpretation that that thing against which we then argue. You...

Pescador, I thank you for your considered response. I confess to not having seen your earlier comment where you, 'originally posted about LGBTs being barred from the church I used to attend.' My apology if I have implied you have said something you did not intend. That was not my intention. To...

Agreed in every respect.

Agreed, provided that 'Church discipline' is to be exercised by the body of believers not just a select few of 'elite' members. It is a disaster when some so-called leaders who may suffer from the pyschological sins of domination, control, manipulation and intimidation assume a superior...

My observation of yeshuaslavejeff's post is that... 1. It was a quite a reasonable and good post. 2. He reported facts drawn from Biblical history. Those facts embraced the Biblical claim that certain people had already committed homosexual practices and that others were in a state of...
