    Pope Francis: There is a retreat from democracy

    There may be something out there explicit on this but it's more about his messages of unity with those who are not Christian, Islam, Buddism, Judaism, Hinduism etc. His reconciliation inter-faith movement, Involvement in the United Religions Initiative, World Religious Leaders Summit, World...

    Pope Francis: There is a retreat from democracy

    That's good. What do you think his position is on a One World Religion?

    Pope Francis: There is a retreat from democracy

    I'm not sure what direction the Pope is coming from on this issue. Is the Pope saying that authoritarianism is the best solution to solve health, safety, and environmental issues? He seems to support OWG for these reasons. The reality is that a OWG is all about world domination and control. I'm...

    Pope Francis: There is a retreat from democracy

    The Pope is and has been laying the foundation for a One World Religion and it will be necessary for a One World Government to accomplish that. Peace and Safety will be the justification. It's really exciting to see prophecy unfold. Be steadfast in your walk of faith.

    WHAT DOES ACTS 18:8 REALLY MEAN ?

    Paul did baptize Gaius and Crispus but was glad that he didn't baptize any of the others. 1 Corinthians 1:14. I think we need to consider that Paul was a Jew and still observed the Jewish festivals and no doubt struggled with the transition from Gospel according to Peter prior to the revelation...

    Spring Feast during the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ

    It is not my intent to add or change anything. My interpretation is my interpretation. If your suggesting we must all interpret the same to be faithful I'm certain we are very far apart. My study on this matter has nothing to do with how I or anyone practices their faith. It does not impact the...

    Roman/Italians converted by the teachings of Apostle Paul

    I trust you know my response was in jest. The trouble with text is that its easy to insert a variety of emotion that is speculative and most likely false. Our ability to read between the lines is very limited. I truly hope to meet you one day in Heaven.

    Roman/Italians converted by the teachings of Apostle Paul

    I agree. We may have differences in how we see things but I want you to know I really appreciate your in depth knowledge and your willingness to share it. We must always remember that our kinship was made possible at the cross and by Gods grace our salvation by faith made us Brothers in Christ.

    Roman/Italians converted by the teachings of Apostle Paul

    I find it enjoyable to research and study some things in early church history. I apologize if your not happy with what I spend my time looking at. Sketchy, speculative historical rabbit trails are so much fun though. I'll check in with you next time to make sure you approve of how I spend my...

    Spring Feast during the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ

    We must be careful NOT to alter, add to or remove any of God's inspired word. I apply that to the Apostles Creed. The Apostles Creed is not scripture and therefore not reliable. I do think we as fallible men will always have interpreted difference in the scripture. I think many of those...

    Hyper Dispensation / Hyper Grace Troubles

    #1 Paul clearly tells us that others were in the body of Christ before he was. Romans 16:7 #2 The Apostles were in the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27-28 #3 Paul tells us there is only one Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12-20 #4 Jesus not Paul laid the foundation of the Body of Christ...

    Did Paul see Jesus at the road to Damascus?

    Mark Quayle, I not so sure that the "believe me" is much different than Paul saying "I lie not".

    Spring Feast during the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ

    I have not seen much discussion on this subject. It would be great to understand what exactly the priest were doing on the exact days and times of Jesus's crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection. I've seen one person discuss their belief that at the very moment the first fruit grain was...

    My view of Calvary Chapel. Your thoughts.

    There are Youtube videos posted by Chuck's brother who was with Chuck in his last days before his death. He paints a picture that Chuck didn't want his daughter and son-in-law to take over the ministry.

    My view of Calvary Chapel. Your thoughts.

    That is how I understood it but things could have changed. My guess is He and Harvest might not embrace that relationship too much these days given all the negative issues in the SBC lately.

    My view of Calvary Chapel. Your thoughts.

    I thought that Greg joined the SBC but didn't become Southern Baptist. I think he characterized it as a partnership or something like that.

    The book of Acts - Transitional - Jews to Gentiles- Works to Faith ?

    Do you believe that the pathway to salvation for the old testament Jews under the old covenant is the same path to salvation under the new covenant? If your point is that it was Faith that caused them to obey the Law, sacrificial system to cover sin, a works. 1 Corinthians 1:22. I can better...

    The book of Acts - Transitional - Jews to Gentiles- Works to Faith ?

    It may have been that the different delivery was necessary due to centuries under the law and the best way to get the Jews to understand. I do agree that Faith was always the end game. The transition from the law to faith would have been challenging for the Jews. Much of the message to the Jews...

    The book of Acts - Transitional - Jews to Gentiles- Works to Faith ?

    Peter preached to the Jews. In order to be saved they needed to Believe, Repent and be baptized in water to receive the Holy Spirit. making being baptized in water conditional (a works) in order to have salvation and receive the Holy Spirit. For the Gentiles Paul had a different message. Repent...
