22 | Anyone interested in Revalations 13:3? | Bible general | sonofmom | 240370 | ||
MzVicki, Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum! I have found this to be most excellent in searching out answers as it relates to the truth of God's inspired, infallible Word. You will always find good Christians here that are ready to engage in discourse concerning the Bible and how it pertains to daily living. However, we will only engage in truthful teaching. We are instructed in 2Timothy 2:15 : Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Now, I have to leave for work now, but will open this for discussion, after saying that Arthur Murrey is a heretic, that does not teach the truth. (Sorry for being blunt) Please go to CARM Christian apologetics and research ministry for problems associated with his teaching, such as 'serpent seed' doctrine. Now, as to the Roman Catholic Church, Please go to Proclaiming the Gospel ministries and see what Mike Gendron has to offer. That is a good historical account of the RCC that you have offered for perusal, and I thank you for that. But we look to the inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God for all answers pertaining to life and salvation. I apologize for cutting this short, but I will return this pm to further bolster my argument in truth. May our Lord bless you richly as you seek Him. |

Very understandable, Doc. Your words ring true and clear. I have a desire to do as my heart tells me, which is to follow God's heart. This includes acquiring all the tools necessary for the journey, and you have helped me greatly. May the Lord bless you for all that you do, in all you do. Son |

Thank you again, Doc, for an awesome answer. Now I would like to share the answer that was brought before me in the middle of the night, this one is from God's inspired Word. I am still feeling things out, as I have thought about not becoming a member and still attending, as I have seen others do in the past, and I also told the pastor, that the Church I came from did not even allow people to become members, because we all already are the Church, so there is no need to become a member of one. Anyway, I was led to Romans 14, in context, 37 verses continuing on into chapter 15. 1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. I really like the pastor, yet there are some things I do not like about how the church is run, or administered. When I arrived, I saw a large repair project underway that was expensive, but I did not understand how the basement walls were having problems with hydrostatic pressure when the church sits atop the highest hill for miles, and I thought I would have done things way different if I had gotten there earlier. But the faith in the Holy Spirit is strong, at first glance I thought I detected a strong presence of the Spirit in the teachings from the pulpit. Yet mentioning the Spirit does not guaranty truth, we all know. Anyone is welcome to chime in here, and I look forward to Doc's wisdom as well, but I am getting a small voice telling me that I may have been put there to build my faith as I see God work in people that are not totally correct in dividing His Word. |

Additionally, the affirmations of this church do actually mention the Word of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, as well as the mission of the Church, fellowship and the new birth. What they do not mention is the inerrancy of the Word, or infallibility and I will be questioning this at the next meeting, since all I have heard is talk about the centrality of the Word, but then there is the infant baptism (only if parents request it) and there is no biblical basis for that. | ||||||

Azure, Thank you for your helping heart in this matter. We do use the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed and etc. I checked briefly into the Church's beliefs before attending, and have been there for a while before being prompted towards becoming a member. However the first member meeting did send up a red flag, when I was told that they actually do perform infant baptism, if the parents prefer that method, however the pastor told me that he instructs the parents that baptism has nothing to do towards salvation. This did not convince me, as I feel that infant baptism leans more towards cultic behavior. That is when pastor Mike started talking about "Freedom in Christ" which started to send up more red flags, but then as I pondered this, I thought that maybe I was being too harsh and decided to consult with this forum |

Thank you for your reply, I agree that it is a good thing to have member classes, and I will look into the references you mentioned later tonight. The perfectionism thing scares me, as I thought my wife and I have finally found a church home, and she likes it so much, but we have been to ten churches in the last several years and cannot seem to find a good fit. I realize that no church will be perfect, so I am trying to decide the true depth of the issues where we differ, to see whether they would actually be divisive enough to leave this church, because I know my wife would think not. Yet she also understands that I need to lead my house down the correct path. We have been married only 4 years, and each have children over 30 yrs so it is not a huge issue, but, since my last post, I found the affirmations of this church's denomination, and it maybe actually deeper than what I originally thought. I would like to paste a section of this for your perusal, and if you could be so kind as to post your opinion in the next day or so, I will be exceeding grateful. Lord bless you, and yours. Following, are the 6 affirmations of faith, and then, a paragraph that caught my abrupt attention: We affirm the centrality of the word of God. We affirm the necessity of the new birth. We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church. We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers. We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit. We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ. The Evangelical Covenant Church celebrates two divinely ordained sacraments, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Recognizing the reality of freedom in Christ, and in conscious dependence on the work of the Holy Spirit, we practice both the baptism of infants and believer baptism. The Evangelical Covenant Church embraces this freedom in Christ as a gift that preserves personal conviction, yet guards against an individualism that disregards the centrality of the Word of God and the mutual responsibilities and disciplines of the spiritual community. |

Thank you, Doc, very much. I am in a class to become a church member, and the leading pastor had said, we were free from sin. I corrected him, saying we are not free from sin, but free from the law of sin and death. (Rom 8) I am not sure if I want to join this church now, as the pastor accused me of being prideful, and again, as I was discussing the practice of infant baptism. I am not in favor of it, the pastor is not in favor either, but he will erform it if the parents want it. I am now thinking this is a compromise on the part of the denomination, and may want to continue shopping for a church home. |

What does it mean to be "Free In Christ"? I am aware of being free from the law of sin and death, but I had a interview with a pastor today who talked of the centrality of God's word and then he claimed to be free in Christ which seemed to allow him some latitude but am not sure what. |

A friend said that in the Book of Revelation, there is a verse that says horses were eating horses. I am unable to find it. Can anyone help, maybe he was confusing Revelation with Daniel, or Ezekiel. |

Thank you J I was really hoping someone could point out a passage where horses were doing what he suggested. Through that we could find some truth. If it is not in the entire Bible, then we will not be able to discuss it. |

Discussing Book of Revelation w/a friend, I was informed that it was all symbolism, to which I replied that the symbolism is explained within the Bible. I was also told that a favorite (symbol) was where horses were eating other horses. I do not recall seeing this, can anyone help me to help this brother to see the light in this wonderful Book? |

37 | Was there a reward! | 1 Chr 23:13 | sonofmom | 235550 | ||
Doc, thanks for clearing that up. Also, I need to apologize for the typo, -After the word, 'reward' it was meant to be a question mark, and not an exclamation point. Nevertheless, I now feel enriched that I may go back to my new friend and discuss the matter once more. No, it was not from a pulpit, thankfully. |

Did Aaron get a reward for the golden calf incident? Some say he was rewarded with the high priesthood, but it looks to me that he already was a high priest | ||||||
