4 | Questions to ask while Reading the Word | Neh 8:18 | sonofmom | 243216 | ||
Quite interesting concept. I believe different people may say to a pastor that the verse in the sermon touched them that day, and in unconnected scenarios. One may be touched by the Spirit in thoughts on a particular verb and another on a certain noun. But there is something called parabolic constancy that we should all be concerned with. I heard a preacher once who thought he was teaching on the parable where a man found a great treasure in a field and he gave everything to be able to go and buy the field. This pastor was telling us that he himself did the same and had also bought the field. That is when I knew I was listening to a false teacher. This was many years ago so please forgive my foggy recollection but following the parable is Jesus' explanation as to its meaning. The field, is said to be the world. Taking the law of constancy into consideration, everytime the field is spoken of, it will refer to the world. Does this sound right? |

Thank you for you response, it seems as we are in complete agreement but to answer your question, No, it never makes sense to post quotes that are mocking or belittling to anyone's beliefs. It fosters negativity over all else. It can only be disruptive and is not in line w/the will of God. |

Correct. The differences will not be ironed out in our life on earth. Fact is, not that, "Differences in theology have raged since the Reformation" Because they existed before then and will continue until the Son of Man says that is enough. What is the source of all the disagreement? Human pride. In Galatians 5 we see sins of the flesh listed, and among them is heresy. Why does heresy belong on the list? Because its source is pride. Take the pride of the human heart out of the equation and many other problems are solved as well. |

I do look around, and I do enjoy studying how denominations differ. There are three Abrahamic religions and many beliefs that are otherwise. But that is why I do not belong to a denomination. I do not try to decipher between dogmatisms and which should be divisive and which are not. There is infant baptism, and there is sprinkling or immersion, and then we have Freedom in Christ. So where does it all lead and when will it end? Ha. Don't we all know there are Calvinists and Dispensationalism and this will never be resolved by debate or collusion. I find the answer in the end of the "love chapter" as then we will know as we are known and all that is imperfect will vanish. Study to show thyself approved and may God bless you abundantly as you pursue Him. Son |

EdB, you say both churches support theology that is in conflict with the other. I agree. But are they both in conflict with the Bible? We must decide who is the authority in this discussion at the outset or proceed nowhere. To mention the Catholic Church for contrast is no different than mentioning Mormons or any other so called Christian sect that does not properly accept Scripture as infallible truth. Yes, the Catholics, by the Christian definition of a cult is exactly that because they claim to have their own interpretation, which is privately held, and they also worship a different Jesus than the one recorded in Scripture. The RCC claim is that Christ's work on the cross is ongoing, where the Bible proclaims that Christ died once for all. That is why Catholics have their 'crucifix' and in Protestant denpms there is an empty cross. Yes, the mass claims authority to transform a wafer into the actual body of Christ and re-sacrifice Him everyday around the world. This is nowhere biblically supported. |

Thank you for your reply, as you say your argument is with the Application of Sola Scriptura? May we correct that to say the "Proper" application of sola scriptura? I am in disagreement with your last statement as saying, "each man can decide for himself what scripture is saying. That, my brother in Christ is exactly why we use disciplined hermeneutics. If proper interpretation is not studiously applied, then we have each reader interpreting for themselves and there are as many interpretations as we have individual readers. |

Hi EdB, it seems a far stretch to use the Catholic Church and sols scriptura in the same question. The RCC claims to be co-equal in authority with Scripture, until there is a conflict, and then Tradition takes center stage and Scripture is demoted. One case in point of course, is purgatory, which denies the sufficiency of Christ's blood to save us from our sin. |

14 | SEEKING FOR THE TRUTH | NT general | sonofmom | 242704 | ||
Absolutely There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. (1 Cor. 12:4-5) Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1 Pet. 4:10) Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. (Romans 12:4-6a) |

15 | The Cross removed power of sin for all? | Not Specified | sonofmom | 242082 | ||
Hello Saints, I have continually been trying to teach my son some biblical truth, and he became interested in a church, so I looked up what their belief system was and this is what I found, and I do not think it is biblically accurate. What do you think? I do not want to say that they are teaching wrong and then find out I am the one mistaken, but I want my son to walk in the truth. Now, contained within the statement of church beliefs is this: "Someday, our Messiah will come back to Earth to redeem all those that are His, those that have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel (Rom 11, Eph 2). Then He will reign from the New Jerusalem for 1000 years (1 Thes 3:13, Rev 20:4). After that period, God will raise up the rest of the dead, and the entire Earth will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:5)." I am seeing that these verses are being taken out of context, and are not accurately used as prooftext in the proper place, because my belief is that Jesus has been given power over death and hades Matt 27:52 relates, "and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life." This to me is saying that the dead in Christ will be raised on two different events? Also, the part about the whole world being judged at the Great White Throne, I do not think that Christians will face judgment at the Throne, but later, at the Bema seat judgment. Am I correct in this? Along the same line, the church statement says, "•What was destroyed at the cross, in fact, was the power of sin and the penalty thereof over all of mankind." Now, I do not want to get picky here, but the power of sin is not taken away for all of mankind, or there would be no justice, I would think. Am I correct, or am I in the wrong in this? I have been working too hard ately to have as much time to study and research as I used to, so your help is greatly appreciated |

17 | Difference between Sabbath and Sunday? | Genesis | sonofmom | 242081 | ||
One other interpretation is that when King Constantine legalized Christianity he blended it with all the pagan religions of the day for a wider acceptance. Actually, Sunday was in place as the worship day because of Zeus, the sun god, for which the day derives its name. I am in agreement with Ed, as to the Lord's day also. But I recently learned this is why the Roman Catholic Church put halos behind the head of Jesus and heads of saints. This was done in honor of the sun god. |

18 | (All these) Signs of the end times | Matt 24:33 | sonofmom | 241647 | ||
The Palastine Authority's Saeb Erekat has a plan before the UN,for Palastine to be recognized as a State, and plans for this to happen before the end of the year. The motion recognizes Israel building settlements in the West Bank to be illegal and threatening. They are pushing for the Two-State solution, and with a specific time frame to end Israel's occupation. This is a very exciting time to be alive, as I see God's plan for the end times to be picking up speed. in Matt 24:32, Jesus said, take a lesson from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; (v33) so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.… What things will we look for in addition? Are there other verses that point the way, I am thinking along the lines of a third temple being built. Thank you for your help |
