If you are not freed from sins grip then you are still bound to it..... I took the gift! Signed sealed ----delivered----I am HIS

I have read the website information that you are talking about Utah and there is refutal for that.

I know it wasnt the Dead Sea Scrolls.... The gospels of Thomas and James do not indicate that Jesus was married and even though they are named after one of the original disciples (even Mary) they are not authored by any of them, and most authorities believe the writings were 2-3 century...

Amen IamAdopted!! By His blood I am saved. Jesus died so that I might have eternal life. As Iam states, Jesus is my advocate. Through Him I live eternally. I am the "kings kid" In the ancient times, when someone such as a slave was adopted into a family, they were given full heritage as sons...

Thats pretty interesting since none of the Scrolls refer to Jesus or His ministry, nor do they mention any of His follower's described in the NT. I will have to look up the reference to this reverend. However, I will again assert that this is not a reliable source. jojo==you are trying to...

This essene gospel that you speak of. Is this written by Rev Ouseley? It is also called the Nazarene Gospel and the Gospel of the Hebrews..... It was written by him through visions and dreams of the night.....I am not sure this is what I would use as a reliable source.

I certainly am not mistaking baptism for salvation. Baptism is an outward act of inner conversion. You can go to heaven and have salvation without being baptized. We are justified freely by grace through faith to all who believe. Justified--made not guilty. It is a one time act that lasts a...

I have been saved by grace through faith--it was a gift from God. I was sealed unto eternal life adopted heir to the kingdom--I have full rights of His family. Once you belong as adopted unto the family of God, it does not become undone. You are His forever. Nothing more can make you more...

Of course you can say that if you wish. You can say whatever you want..... However, it isnt "likely" that Jesus was married as the post stated. There is no indication that he was throughout the Gospels which are the most reliable writings of His life-- nor in the noncaniconical gospels is it...

I will then rephrase if you dont understand what I was saying.....your position on your discussion regarding Jesus being married as likely is weak.....

No early Christian text we possess, either biblical or extrabiblical, indicates the presence of a wife during Jesus' ministry, His crucifixion, or after His resurrection. Whenever texts mention Jesus’ family, they refer to His mother, brothers and sisters but never to a wife. It is therefore...

I dont think it is a very hard decision. I think if you read the Scriptures and believe on them, it would be very difficult to think Jesus would have married or was married.

We do good works BECAUSE we are saved, not to get saved or justify our salvation. Read Scripture --its in there... Romans 10:10 "For it is with your heart that you believe and are JUSTIFIED, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are SAVED" Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with...

Jesus would not be married. Jesus was God the Son. Thus although fully human He was fully divine. He was God who took on flesh and became man.Thus, God is our creator and king and would not be married in the flesh. Jesus was teacher, but He was unlike no other, He was Messiah. His role was to be...

Sounds like we are not all that different from the new churches that Paul wrote to with encouragement and instructions. They had pagans, jews, gentiles all going to community together and each one had thier own idea of what was right garb and behavior in church. It must have been something. He...

From your response, it seems like there may have been some bigger issues. Such as communication--or maybe lack of ----and set standards in place. A couple of things may have helped you out in this situation. One of them would be meeting with leadership on a more regular basis to pray and...

Unconditional love is not the same as asking a Christian and non christian to unite in marriage. It isnt about bridging cultures. If someone is professing to be a Christian and asks other Christians if it is ok to marry a Muslim, I really dont understand how there can be another answer but...

Hello, I am Christian and I want to marry a woman who is Muslim. Of course her religion strictly forbids it, but how is the Christian religion on this type of thing? I have known her for 10 years, we are very much in love and want to be married now. Thanks for any help on this subject The crux...

I read your post and some questions immediately come to mind before I believe an appropriate answer can be given. What is the structure of your church? Does your church have shared leadership and ministry driven or is it more of the hierarchial traditional type? Do you meet with this person...

Baptism isnt part of the salvation process. It is an outward sign of an inward conversion. If you are saved and never baptised, you still go to heaven. It is an act of obedience and outward declaration that you are part of the community in Christ. It isnt however a means to become saved.
