    Church of the Nativity

    Here's the latest update from the BBC. A monk has been critically wounded, and Israel has rejected a plea from the Francisan Order to end the seige peacefully which the words "stop bothering us"

    Church of the Nativity

    :confused: I myself mentioned that the Israeli army was making this claim in post #30. This hasn't been confirmed as a fact by an independant party, and has been denied by a Roman Catholic priest inside the Church. I'm willing to wait and see what is determined to be factual, but the fact that...

    Gnostics are Christians. Anyone who has been baptised is a Christian.

    i guess this is a good place...

    Anyone can be perfect for Jesus taught the way to perfection. A person need only accept the grace of God to overcome sin and submit themselves to God's will, and once he has repented his old sins are washed away. Therefore, such a person would indeed be perfect, just as God himself is perfect.

    The Trinity Doctrine

    Hey there Hervey. Unless it has changed since the last time I found it there. From Jesus. :) John 14:15-17, 21, 23-24 So, if you obey Jesus's teachings, you have the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. Three persons, one essense. You might also want to see Acts 5:32...

    The Trinity Doctrine

    Primarliy, the Trinity is what dwells inside you if you obey Christ's teachings. It is explained in John 14.

    Church of the Nativity

    Nice scenario. Problem is, no one has been shooting from inside the building according to the people inside the building, which includes priests and nuns, etc. who wouldn't lie about that sort of thing. And the army won't let the media any where near the place to obtain an impartial viewpoint...

    Elijah and heaven

    So, let me get this straight. Jesus is talking on and on about John, but then in the middle suddenly stops talking about John, does a complete one-eighty, and actually is speaking about himself in the third person?? Then in Matthew 17:12, he is really talking about himself in the third person...

    Oh, this is GOOD!

    Very well, nyj. I'll take your advice.

    Oh, this is GOOD!

    Maybe on some level. He was practically blackmailed into condemning Jesus to death in the first place (John 18:12), so perhaps he really did believe Jesus was king of the Jews. I figured that out a long time ago. I'm not concerned about them wading into the tarpit. I'm more concerned with...

    Oh, this is GOOD!

    Yeah, well, so what? Isn't that the Pharisee's lament to Pontius Pilate for writing that Jesus was king of the Jews? Pilate had a right to write this, and it was the truth. I thought there was a lot of truth to the RPV. I may even find myself quoting it from time to time.

    Elijah and heaven

    :sigh: If some people wouldn't study their Bibles in a darkroom while wearing sunglasses, I wouldn't have to type so much. OK, here's Matthew 11:6f Matthew 17:11-13 And finally from Luke 1: Got it?
