Now I am clearly using the Word of God and the words of Christ Himself, as you inferred that I was basically not using the NT but the OT, as if that is not Cannon/Scripture.

Are you stating the Lutherans are then not actually Christian, I think they would disagree...

If you cannot discuss the Word of God, and more importantly the words of Christ, in a Christian forum, then whats the point of having it? If the words of Christ himself are to be shunned or disregard, then there is a serious problem to say nothing of the spiritual danger.

With all due respect, how do I petition to have this thread 'Jesus Christ taught two resurrections...' moved back, as it is a Christian thread with proper scripture and should not have been moved.

Death is compared to a unconscious state or sleep in scripture so there must be some analogy in the condition of the state of sleep and a state of death. Our condition in sleep differs from our condition when awake simply that when we are soundly asleep, we are entirely unconscious. So in this...

Yes, as we know, the bigger the untruth, the more people think its true. But lets look at what happens according to scripture when we die and at the resurrection. Look at at Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life...

Wow, what a absolute unsubstantiated and unprovoked statement. Now if you look, all I put is scriptural, we are not immortal, only God is immortal and the gift of eternal life is what Christ gives when He comes at the Second Coming. However, here is the Fundamental Belief on Death and...

Any reason, as it is all from scripture?

You are right in having fear of God is more of reverence and respect, so the question is more of why Christian are relying on self and holding on to sin which creates a 'fear without hope' as you say, when they look toward the coming Judgment Day. This is why we must put Christ righteousness...

Well lets look as many people think that there is a ghost-like “spirit” inside of our bodies, and when we die, this spirit floats away somewhere, preferably heaven. But the Bible actually does not support this theory. In fact, according to the Bible there is no spirit inside of us at all. We...

Very 'uncomfortable' I would say, if they are not gathered with the rest of the saints...

In 1 Corinthians, we see Paul reinforcing this. Jesus is the first fruit of those who have fallen asleep in Jesus and here again Paul says that the dead in Christ will be raised at the time of His coming: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the...

So we read scripture on the resurrection, and we see that Jesus Christ taught two resurrections.: John 5:29 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in their graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life...

....at the end. One of the righteous saints who he raises up and takes with him to heaven, and are reigning in heaven with Jesus. Then we have the wicked who are separated from the just, "So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the...

Many Christians have been told that God never judges their works, that they go straight to heaven when they die as they are immortal, and thus have no need of Christ or His Second Coming to redeem us. I have also come across Christians who say there is no day of judgment and reject the plain...

Jesus Christ is “Lord even of the Sabbath day”, but the fullness of that statement needs to be understood by understanding who Jesus was. “For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.” Matthew 12:8. By identifying Himself as “Lord even of the Sabbath day,” Jesus was, in reality...

Well, look at what Jesus said... Matthew 19:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou...

I think we already settled that veneration is defined as worship..

As I said, shoot the messenger. But to answer your question, worship other than to God is wrong no matter who it is, and worse if its a idol. I think scripture is very clear on that.

Then why allow them into the church, its clear they have been brought in, and all the evidence points to one church at the center of it.
