    Are Christians obligated to keep the Sabbath?

    We who are in Christ are not under judgment ever. That would not be a meaningful argument to use against Christian believers. For those who are not in Christ, they are subject to judgment anyway. And is there no obligation to not be ignoring the Sabbath, for them? It is among the ten...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    This is irrelevant to the point I actually make. From what I know about languages, words meaning variable things not consistent with one another are defined by context, except in very poor writing or writing meant to be vague or confusing. Brother is a word used in various ways but primarily of...

    Anglican origins, claims, theology.

    Catholicism and Anglicanism along with other related groups have heavy emphasis on their traditions. They are still far removed from what was important to believers among the followers of Jesus in the starting generations. What those early followers found of importance was life-changing. They...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    If the Bible does not show James was not the brother of Jesus, should I believe he was not when he said he was? Even if you speak of a Greek word being used I am not believing that you have the grasp for speaking the Greek language at that time fluently. Though I don't either, I do know how to...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Your retaliatory Can you see? was in response to my question of can you see there is no shouting, but you seem to shout that back, ironically. I am not the one insisting you and others should believe that Mary consummated her marriage with Joseph, and lived and died as the rest of believers did...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    There is no basis found in the Bible to say that Jesus went to India, but there are people that might believe that he did go, so it is inconclusive. There is no basis found in the Bible to say that Jesus drove a car, but if Jesus wanted to he could have, so it is inconclusive. The Jesus that...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    I certainly missed the shouting, wherever that happened. My point is that the burden of having basis should be on those who made the first claim, historically it was such ones that claimed Mary always remained a virgin all through her marriage and the rest of her life, and that she was assumed...

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    I am not avoiding all the news along with the political Christian cult now. I am remaining free from them. It is clear that the virus pandemic is surging higher, in America, with there being more cases and more deaths now than previously and more than other countries, which dealt with this...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Requiring proof that something is not so is not at all as reasonable as requiring proof of others saying it was so. Proof should be required with the original claim.

    Cure for the Coronavirus Pandemic

    There is current upsurge of COVID 19 cases, denial of it and dismissing the seriousness of it is not helping, and we are stuck with it, that way, with more deaths. Where it has been dismissed more, it is worse...

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    Trump's mismanagement of the COVID 19 crisis with the death of so many thousands cost him the most in votes. It is with his denials that it is his own doing.

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    I think there will be lasting things to Trump still, including from being impeached, and possible legal procedings against him. And can he run again, as he undoubtedly plans to do, after those things with lasting consequence?

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    The responses do not change anything for what I had said, they make my very point then. As there is no basis whatsoever in the Bible to say those that are called the brothers of Jesus in the Bible, with the mother of Jesus, are not really his brothers from that same mother, not only should it be...

    Faith without good works is dead.

    Truly in the Bible there is burial of the dead mentioned, and not cremation, that is unless Judges 9:49 is considered. Yet none from all those who died will be condemned for their remains being cremated by others. How their remains are disposed of, whether to be consumed by worms or by fire...

    Would you buy Hitler's art?

    Trump will not be remembered favorably in history. Maybe any art from him would be undesirable to most as well.

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    To summarize, Jesus lumped his brothers and his mother together. While we can't prove Jesus had brothers from the same mother to those who do not want to accept it, what basis in the Bible is there to doubt it? There is no such basis, it is a question only because of the traditional belief of...

    Faith without good works is dead.

    No I have not. There is no basis for that allegation. I clearly say in my communication of the gospel that we are saved by Jesus Christ in what he accomplished, from God's grace to us, we respond hearing the word of God to us, for that. We are saved from cursed sinful life, the new life in...

    Sinners Prayer in the Bible?

    Though it is not a prayer saving us, but Christ, essential faith is necessary in response, which is with repentance.

    Praying to the deceased - correlation with those who believe in ghosts?

    What people call ghosts are generally what some say they see, robed spectres, though possibly other manifesting manipulators, but these changeless spirit beings are such that have been in the rebellion against Yahweh our God, Creator of us, and them. They are not of the dead from among us...

    Praying to the deceased - correlation with those who believe in ghosts?

    The dead shall rise, the redeemed will have their bodies made incorruptible for their spirits to unite with to come to their blessed future, the unregenerate to go to their judgment. There are actually changeless spirit beings, without physical form, though there are the manifesting manipulators...
