How To Unite Christians Worldwide!

[Iosias]

Yet we still take the same communion, and have the same salvation. The Bible does say faith is dead without deeds, so you both have valid points. Authority is about the only issue, and I am sure that can be put off till last. When we get the unity going, people will see their follies, on both sides.

No...Catholics eat the Body and Blood of Christ, I eat Bread and non-alcoholic wine. The Bible says "faith is dead without deeds" in James which I do not believe is for church doctrine. I do not believe that water-baptism is for the church age.

Then you do have a problem with scripture, because the Nicene Creed is no more than a quote from a book in the Bible.

Find it for me in the Holy Bible!

Separation is good! Unity within the true Body is vital but we must separate ourselves from false brethren who are becomming more numerous daily!

When we each receive communion, we are receiving two different substances. The difference in what people believe their communion to be is an aside here.

Protestant communion: symbolic; it is a piece of bread, a cup of wine/juice. Done to do what Christ did & to remember the Last Supper.

Catholic communion: real; the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ. Christ humbles himself and completely changes the bread and wine into his very self.

Well I have to go, but keep this in mind: Does what we think something is change what it is?

 

[Iosias]

You're associating with me right now, mwhaha!

Jokes aside, I understand what you're saying. That's our difference in what "Canon" is.

And yet we are only agreeing on the fact they we are vitally different!!

It does not. And that's the point.

I know. And that was something we both agreed on at the beginning.

 

[Bradford]

Yes there is...I will not associate with those who do not hold to Sola Scriptura.

Next what Bible version shall we use at these interdenominational meetings? I will ONLY use the Authorised Version. i.e. No --- NIV, NKJV, NEB, GNB, ASV, RSV etc...

Authorized by whom, exactly?

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Maybe the tradition he doesn't follow?

The Bible says "faith is dead without deeds" in James which I do not believe is for church doctrine. I do not believe that water-baptism is for the church age.

I mean no disrespect to you personally AV, but all of these "I do not believes" and your comment about "false brethren" come down to an authority issue. Who has the authority to determine what is or is not "for church doctrine" or "for the church age"? And who determines who is and is not false brethren?

It is an issue of separation because we hold different authorities.

 

[ONE WHO REMAINS]

People confuse what I say sometimes and take a different way. Yes under God we are one church, we all do work for the same goal, yet we do not work in unisen. We all work indepent from one another in the aspect of church. What I know Im called to do is to get us to communicate more in between churches, put together functions as one. The strength of church's as independents is beatable, but as on we are invincible. Anything and everything is possible through GOD who strengthens me and I will sacrifice everything I have and am to help bring this world back to GOD, and this cannot be accomplished without all churches working together.

Very much agreed. Me and Bradford were actually discussing an Eighth Ecumenical Council. Interested?

Post it brother! You know I'll discuss it with ya.......

Bizzlebin man I tried to follow this thread but yall kind of went into a frenzy of posts and I couldn't keep up. But I am suprised that with your dedication to logic you haven't challenged AV on his dismissal of all translations other than the authorized version. That translation is probably the least documented of all he dismissed.

AV seems to not understand the difference between a translation and a transliteration. Perhaps you could lay it out better than I.

Grace, Mercy, and Peace,
Asaph

Oh, we gave him some stuff to think about. Hopefully he will come and be unified in Christ. Anyways, http://www.christianforums.com/t732399 is my first attempt at getting common ground
