1 | Bible to be taken literally? | Matthew | richilou_2003 | 106276 | ||
I am not sure I understand well your question. | ||||||
2 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | richilou_2003 | 73918 | ||
Good point! | ||||||
3 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73914 | ||
Good point! | ||||||
4 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73913 | ||
I would add it again. Paul advised the elders of Ephesus to be ready to teach all the counsel of God, whereas Dr. Lahaye tries to teach too much on one subject for many years. | ||||||
5 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73912 | ||
Good point dear friend. I find myself that in such a nebulous subject this man (Lahaye) is, according to me, out of track. Prophecy is first of all, maybe the most difficult subject to investigate with precision. Therefore, to be too prolific in writing on that issue is for me already a good sign to be suspicious about all this stuff. Unfortunately, there is a public for that kind of material. | ||||||
6 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73911 | ||
If I may add something to that, I know that the Dr. John MacArthur said one day that it would be possible to interpret the Babylon of Rev. 18 as an economic power. Therefore, though USA is one, we could say that some other countries could be placed in that category as well. For this reason it is very difficult to be too much dogmatic on this issue. The Bible being not fully clear on some passages, many times it is only the unfolding of history that tells us what it is. Keep on praying to be open, but at the same time, God is the Only One who knows what is what? which is which? and who is who? in this nebulous matter. | ||||||

No one is less important, because they have their place in their very context for a specific purpose of the author. | ||||||
8 | Diffrent between Catolic -protestant | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71577 | ||
Have you ever learned that Catholicism of the first century was not to be compared to the actual one? I think that is where you err in your evaluation of the authority of Scriptures in the background of Catholicism. By the way, the word "catholic" itself is not a dangerous word at all, because it means "universal". So, in one sense, the real christian is member of the Catholic church, but not the Roman Catholic Church where the Pope is the authority, whereas in the New Testament, the only ultimate authority of the Church on earth is Christ (Eph. 5), even though He is in heaven now. | ||||||
9 | Diffrent between Catolic -protestant | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71538 | ||
The only thing I can say is, whether you are a catholic yourself, or you are a christian who thinks understand catholicism in all its doctrines. My friend, concerning the way to get baptism in our death, it is one thing to say what the councils said, but where is the biblical support for all that stuff? And for the rest of what you said, just look at the passages of the Bible I quoted and give me another biblical interpretation of these, not by what Catholic Church has already said, but founded on the word of God alone. In fact, the person asked what were the differences between Catholics and Protestants. You have just well displayed what it is. The catholics use their writings whereas Protestants (evangelical ones) use the Bible, period. Read 2 John 9 and you'll understand what I mean. Sincerely |

10 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71493 | ||
Therefore, as I see you are a sincere chistian, I will suggest to you a very good book to read on the subject. It is written by one of the best theologians in the world, Dr. Millard J. Erickson, and the book is entitled: "Making Sense of the Trinity: Three crucial questions". You could find it on the website of CBD (Christian Books Distributor), in Peabody, Mass. So I invite you to go on Google and type CBD or "CBD christian library" and you will be on the right place to find it. So, let us keep in touch concerning that. God bless you and make you a blessing.

11 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71380 | ||
I see that your reasoning is quite useful to a certain point, but I would like to challenge you with one more question. You said that God is not a God of confusion and we can understand the Trinity because God wants to reveal Himself to us properly, right? So, the question is: "Peter himself wrote in his letter that there were many things that are hard to understand, only in what Paul wrote (2 Peter 3.16). Therefore, would you dare to say publicly on this christian site that you fully understand the mystery of the Trinity? Let me tell you something. Many illustrations have been given in the history of the Church and nobody pretended to understand fully the Trinity. So...who are we to say that we could fully? | ||||||
12 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71379 | ||
Ok, I was talking about the concept. What I meant is this. When we deal with the Trinity of the Godhead, we have to understand that we talk about the nature of God and not His three persons in one only. The point is this. Ice is another of seeing water in solid form. Vapor and liquid are other forms of the same subject, that is water. In other words, God is a person revealed in three persons that have the same nature. In the trinity, we mean that The Father, Son and Spirit have the same nature, that is DIVINE. They are three, in there revelatory way, but one in nature. We talk always of God as a unique God as the faith of Israel was. And they were right to believe this because they believed according the revelation they received from above. But the concept of being three persons is everywhere in the Bible. Just for example, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1.1). The word God is Elohim in Hebrew which means God in the plural form. Once again, we can see it in the New Testament, when Jesus commanded to make of all nations disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Have you ever noticed that the word "name" in that verse was in the singular form? Yet, grammaticaly speaking, even in greek, the word would have been in plural, but the fact is that Matthew understood the concept of the oneness of God in three persons. Is it clearer now? | ||||||
13 | Is suicide a sin, will you go to hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71376 | ||
OK, good. I am now reassured that your thoughts are not of that type. I am not of this kind either. I don't know if you thought that. Anyway, now have you received any answer to your question or not? Knowing that, I will proceed with an answer to your good question. |
