Justme and Hank, I just began reading your thread...and had to comment! I agree with both of you. Thank God for conservative Bible colleges but many people are getting so messed up by "Bible" colleges. I went to a "Christian" college...studying business. We had a OT and NT survey class in the degree plan. Day one in OT survey, the ThD pastor/professor made his colors known. He trashed God's Word almost from his opening remarks. All of our tests were essay...you remember the old college blue books, right? Almost every answer I penned went something like this, "The answer you are looking for is this...yadyadyada...now this is what God had to say about it in His Word..." To get his seal of approval, one would usually use about 4-5 pages of a blue book and take about 45 minutes to complete a test. I usually completed each test in about 2 hours and would use 10-12 pages to build my argument. In class discussions, he would ask me where I get my facts...they were in the book he was trying to teach us...the Bible! I agree that it would (sadly) be a good idea for anyone planning to attend cemetary..oops seminary [smile] to be established in their faith. I am glad to hear that some bible colleges still have a committment to God's Word. 6days |

2 | entering church with shoes | Bible general Archive 2 | 6 days | 124677 | ||
The point Kalos is making is that this is written to Moses at the burning bush! And realize this: the temple in the Old Testament was the dwelling place of our Holy God. Now He dwells in US...believers! God told Moses to remove his shoes to make him realize that He is a Holy God! The church building is a place Christians come to fellowship, worship and hear the Word. The NT church met in each other's houses...the Temple God is concerned with is YOU! | ||||||

4 | Jesus brothers. | Matt 12:46 | 6 days | 124333 | ||
I'm just making my statement based upon friends I have and know well. Some of these are folks that went to Catholic schools k-12. They are friends with whom I debate various issues of interest to the church...Catholic as well as just plain Christian. These are folks who would call their priests on their phone when they had issues to discuss. Some of these people don't hold to issues you and MOST but not all Catholics hold dear. Unless the issue of the perpetual virginity of Mary is a litmus test of a Catholic, then there are Catholics that don't hold to this. If it is a tell-all for Catholics, maybe I need a list of other "musts". This could add more friendly discussion topics for me and my Catholic (or not) friends. | ||||||
5 | Jesus brothers. | Matt 12:46 | 6 days | 124332 | ||
Thanks. I'm not here to fight with anyone...or cast someone away beacuse we go to different houses to worship Jesus! Didn't mean for my tone to be sharp...guess it was...second comment in that direction. I do enjoy debating the issues...but picking a fight doesn't achieve my purpose. I'll choose my words more carefully. | ||||||

"All" is a pretty big word...you think your statement that all Catholics believe this might need to be examined? And a majority doesn't make it true. If you had read the Bible before reading the traditions of the Catholic Church, what conclusions would you have drawn? How much of your faith do you have to put in the traditions of the church before you can say with a straight face that JEsus had no brothers? I'm not picking an argument here...I just know that before you can explain a clear teaching of the Bible, you've got to put your faith in something you hold above God's Word. |

The majority of Catholics stand by the tradition that Jesus had no brothers or sisters. I can't say that I agree that the majority of all Christians agree with this. After returning from the tomb, are we to believe the mother of James mentioned in Luke 24:10 wasn't Jesus' mom? ((Luke 24:10 (KJV) It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.)) It is made clear in Matthew (( Mt 27:56 (KJV) Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.)) that this wasn't James son of Zebedee. Realize that this Mary is the mother of James and Joses. Now read ((Mr 6:3 (KJV) Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.)) I think it is a reach to see references that are almost without debate referring to the virign Mary...and then see the last scripture which is without debate referring to Jesus' mom...and to say that this refers to Mary the mother of Jesus and the "aunt" of these referred to as Jesus' brothers and sisters. This is clearly saying that Mary was the mother of Jesus, James, Joses, Juda, Simon and his sisters...and then to say the Bible never teaches that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Not trying to offend but you are trying to make scripture fit tradition. Let God's Word stand on its own and if a tradition doesn't line up with God's Word, toss it! God's Word gives us liberty! |
