"Avoid women who exhibit any of the four-C's: (Women who) compete, control, criticize or complain. Avoid women who are overachievers or neurotic. Don't get hung up on unavailable women. They're not as special as they think. Choose a wife who complements you and is a good companion. Choose one...

I'm always amazed at how 'Christians' (?) say they love Jesus, but fail to keep His commandments. I even had one (an ex-friend from my old church) tell me that he went out of his way to NOT keep the commandments, because he felt that by 'throwing himself on the mercy of Jesus, he was bringing...

Well said. A favourite trick of the enemy is to send people who pretend to be interested, but whose real goal is to waste one's time by engaging in endless useless debates. I've seen enormous time wasted on other forums because of this. They prefer death to life, so let them have what they...

This is a good question, which not enough people ask. It's very revealing to sit down with the gospels on one side, and Paul's letters on the other, and to try and list the points of commonality.

It was during the 1st century, as we see from the Son of Man commending the Ephesians for rejecting Paul (Rev 2:2). Paul named himself as the "apostle to the Ephesians" in Eph 1:1. Paul also said that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God... that the man of God may be complete" (2 Tim...

So what? The Bible already answers your question, in the same passage: "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." (Rev 2:4). It would be a miracle if it wasn't in ruins.

No, the Catholics killed anyone who followed the original 'way', which means keeping the Sabbath, obeying the food law, and honouring the holy days. These were people who rejected Paul and his writings, which comprised the majority of believers in those days. Are you aware that Paul's letters...

Good point. I looked up the definition of diligent, which is "showing care and effort". It certainly is achievable with only modest effort. It certainly does not mean perfection. I used to be one of the pack which claims that the law is impossible, it's a curse, you lose your salvation, etc...

You mean when Paul broke his own commandment to “Let the elders who rule well (which Peter certainly did) be counted worthy of double honour” (1 Tim 5:17)? You mean when Paul broke another of his commandments to “NOT receive an accusation against an elder except from two or...

Paul's Plan to Destroy Christianity From Within A key commandment in the law is this: ”You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you” (Deut. 4:2). Another is Deut. 28, where verses 1-14 list...

[Staff Edit] Do you even know what a Judaizer is? Let me inform you. According to Acts, it's someone who insists that a person has to be circumcised in order to get saved. It was a Jewish ploy to stop the gospel being taken to Gentiles. As you well know, I've never said anything here about...

You mean All Souls? He claims to be a Christian, and as of today has made 542 posts on this forum. Interesting point though, because many Muslims are more informed about Paul than the average Christian. Because they only have the Bible to go on, they see through him like the sheet of glass...

What he said is certainly right and proper. So why did he then effectively say "but you can choose your own food, feasts, calendar or Sabbath" in Rom 14:13, 1 Cor 8:9, and Col 2:16? Of course people can do their own thing if they wish, if they are willing to risk the consequences. They certainly...

A learned person such as yourself would be aware that this is a standard form of sorcery, practised widely by the Illuminati and others via the media. The idea is to tell people in advance of your intentions, in such a brazen manner that they will not believe it. This effectively neutralises...

So who are these "unlearned and unstable people who twist Scripture to their own destruction"? Just because you assume that it's believers who choose to obey the commandments doesn't make it true. It could just as easily be those who choose lawlessness, who are appointed for destruction. It can...

I am sincerely sorry to hear you say that. Have you considered the identity of the Person who wrote the law, and handed it to Moses? Here's what Scripture says: "Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel. And there was...

In the regeneration (as Jesus called it), on which of the twelve thrones will those seventy 'apostles' sit, to judge the twelve tribes of Israel?

No I am not wrong, as you so rudely put it. But since you ask, let's look at the evidence: Paul introduced himself to the Ephesians as an apostle (Eph 1:1). His visit started out well, but after three months there was a huge uproar and they threw him out. Moreover he lost his new converts...
