241 | Mediator | Heb 4:16 | Brian.g | 188994 | ||
Hank My use of the term 'saint' was with a lower case 's' and consistent with the term used in the New Testament about 45 times. The definition of the term of 'saint' is 'consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious'. I believe that definition would also include those who have died and have gone to heaven and are in union with God. Now, if we can ask a living sinner to pray for us, why can we not ask a 'saint' in heaven to pray for us? I am not saying we should worship the 'saint' in heaven, but only to ask that they pray for us. And, I believe my two citings from Revelation would support it. Brian |

243 | Heb 6:4-6 What does it mean...? 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | Brian.g | 24859 | ||
Kalos Hebrews is a letter (some think written by Paul) intended to reinvigorate a dying church, and chapters 5-10, are specifically addressed to the priests of that church and their sacred responsibilities as teachers. With that thought in mind, I would like to invite you to read the continuous text beginning with Hebrews 5:11 all the way to Hebrews 6:6. Hebrews 6:4-6, Here, salvation is lost by sin. But because the priest has lost his church for lack of his enthusiasm, commitment and the improper teaching of the members of his church who have left his church without fully understanding the message of Jesus. AND - it will be twice as hard for the next priest/teacher to try to re-introduce Christianity to these same people. Not everyone who listened to the first teacher, will listen to the 2nd - and those who will not listen to the 2nd teacher - will have lost salvation because they are no longer a member of the Church of Christ. This is the same message which Jesus gave to Peter about heavens loss, in Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." The teacher must teach the exact message of Jesus. This is why a priest/minister/teacher will be judged harsher by God, because his lack of thoroughness can prevent people from entering heaven.

Rextar Thank you for you response. Please clarify some items for me: Did you start, and are you the pastor of your new chuch. Can you expand on the "sign gifts" within your new church. How do you mean your new church operates and functions along scriptural guidelines. In your Sunday celebration, what do you do? Thank you for your feedback Brian |

Retxar How is it that the two families came to start a new church, and am I correct in thinking that this is a non-denominational church? What makes your church unique from all of the other churches already in existence? How do you gain new members? What are the qualfications of the pastoral staff of your church? Thank you for your assistance to me. Brian |

Joe I am familiar with what you described as the "seeker-sensitive" model. Some people equate this style of service to when Paul said: 1 Corinthians 3:2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. And, some people are ready for, and need solid food. With only the "milk" type of service, the long term problem becomes: Hebrews 5:13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness How do you feel a local church can satisfy both, those needing milk, as well as those needing solid food?

Joe I think shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, the world sees homosexuality for what it really is. I realize that there are plenty of Protestant denominations which are pro-gay, but now you know how the world really feels about it. All I'm saying is that we (all people) should learn from this. Why does everything have to be an argument with you, Joe. Brian |

By the way, I am not grieving for my Church. It's not perfect, and it never will be. This is not the first time the Catholic Church has had any issues and it won't be the last. Remember on the night in which Jesus ordained the 12 Apostles into the priesthood - Judas betrayed Him and Peter denied Him three times. Our current issues are a piece of cake compared to that first day. Brian |
