Snerfle, Post #5 on Page 1: Pedrito requests clarification regarding what “but without confusion of contexts” means.

Post #16 on Page 2 [ [with Pedrito insertion] ]: Jesus’ mission was to substitute Himself for fallen mankind, ultimately dying the substitutionary, sacrificial death that would pay the penalty for man’s transgressions, and thereby reverse the penalty for man’s and woman’s sin (death). Romans...

Apologies if this has been addressed before, and Pedrito missed it. Exactly how and when do bread and wine, or bread or wine individually, become the body and blood of Jesus respectively? 1. What is the mechanism? 2. What must be done? 3. Where must it or may it be done? 4. When must it or...

Post #3 on Page 1 (Pedrito): Post #11 on Page 2 (Cassia): Lend – Dictionary.com: Just in case there was any misunderstanding.

Post #3 on Page 1 (Pedrito): “For Pedrito, Lent has never lent any particular motivation for observance. Perhaps that is because Pedrito has always leant towards apostolic practice, as revealed in the Holy Writings.” Post #6 on Page 1 (MoreCoffee): “Excellent, then you know about the forty day...

Post #6 on Page 1: Luke 4:1,2 [emphasis added]: One could add, if one wished to, Exodus 34:27,28 [emphasis added]: So when Lent-fasting-churches and Lent-fasting-individuals fast as did Jesus, and only then, will the statement “Excellent, then you know about the forty day fast of the Lord”...

Post #8 on Page 1: Pedrito thanks MoreCoffee. Now we all know the day on which the followers of Jesus should commemorate His sacrificial death. (But only if those followers want to obey His direct command, of course.)

Post #4 on Page 1: Pedrito has to feel sad for the apostles (and the apostolic church). They never ever realised what they were missing out on. ============================================================================================== But than again, they didn’t observe Easter either...

For Pedrito, Lent has never lent any particular motivation for observance. Perhaps that is because Pedrito has always leant towards apostolic practice, as revealed in the Holy Writings.

In Post #346 on Page 35, it was stated: Seeing that all other pertinent scriptures (unless Pedrito is mistaken) state that God raised Jesus from the dead and that God then raised Jesus to a position above all other life forms (except God's-self, that is), maybe we should look more closely at...

Isaiah 46:9,10: If God declared the end from the beginning, how and where did He do so? Did He not arrange to have it indelibly written in the book we call the Bible? Is it not unquestionably there? And won’t we see it if we look without the blinkers and shackles of established church...

atpollard in Post #346 on Page 35, stated: And here was Pedrito labouring under the long-term misapprehension that history was awash with people who had laid down their lives voluntarily. A person who pushes his or her loved one out of the way, knowing they will be killed themselves. A...

Brighten04 in Post #343, addressing popsthebuilder, stated: That has triggered two questions which have caused Pedrito a long-term state of puzzlement. 1. Where does the Bible state that Adam would have gone to Heaven had he not disobeyed, and when does it say that would have happened? 2...

Pedrito thinks he understands why popsthebuilder could consider that important questions he has posed have not been satisfactorily addressed. For instance: “Why would the eternal GOD manifest and kill itself to be a payment to itself?” That would have been based at least in part, a statement...

MoreCoffee offered, regarding Paul's prophecy that there would be an Christian group departing from the truth and characterised by "forbidding to marry" (Post #311 on Page 32): “Gnostic sects forbid their members to marry. That happened within saint John's lifetime.” Indeed. But what further...

Me too.

MoreCoffee made an interesting point about prophecy in Post #248 on Page 25. He included the passage Deuteronomy 18:20-22: “20 The prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ 21 And...

In Post #52 on Page 6, MoreCoffee stated [emphasis added]: “I don't know what other people feel I can guess and use my own experiences as an analogue but I cannot KNOW because I am not them and only they (and God) know fully what they feel. But I can point to the way holy scripture describes...

In Post #14 on Page 2 MoreCoffee stated: That was in reply to Psalma 91's statement in Post #13 on the same page: Pedrito, in his Post #40 on Page 4 and Post #41 on Page 5, attempted to present a balanced view and explanation on the subject. Could that be representative of the average...

A couple of thoughts. ============================================================================================== When I was young, I attended a church belonging to the evangelical denomination noted for its staunch pride (which it denies) and its intense internal doctrinal conflicts...
