    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    I see the double irony of the example. You just finished teaching above this about how you HAVE the freedom to eat in a tavern (own a firearm) and there is nothing wrong with that, but your weaker brother in Christ might think it wrong to eat in a tavern (own a firearm). You conclude that we...

    KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

    I find that just trying to keep the “Cliffnotes” version (the Two Commandments) that Jesus gave is hard enough: Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is...

    KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

    Ummm ... Acts 1:8 says nothing of the sort: [Act 1:4-8 NASB] 4 Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," [He said,] "you heard of from Me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy...

    ISRAEL WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH

    [Ezr 3:8-13 NASB] 8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, began [the...

    Can all believers cast out demons?

    So having reviewed the Scripture, what is my final conclusion on the question “Can all believers cast out demons”? Probably not. God certainly can cast out demons. Jesus can grant men the authority to cast out demons (and has). Everyone does not have all of the spiritual gifts, rather the Holy...

    Can all believers cast out demons?

    [Mat 10:5-10 NASB] 5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in [the] way of [the] Gentiles, and do not enter [any] city of the Samaritans; 6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Good grief ... The BAPTISTS acrostic was developed in the early 1960s by L. Duane Brown when he was pastor of Pine Valley Baptist Church, Pine Valley, N.Y. Brown was a graduate of Baptist Bible Seminary, where he studied theology with Paul R. Jackson. Brown’s acrostic has roots in Paul...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Check out your history. Baptists argue with each other over every doctrine imaginable, but Baptists have never persecuted other denominations. It might be because we came from a long history of being imprisoned or “drown” for being a Baptist. Another Baptist Distinctive is the opposition to...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Creeds: There are denominations that require one to affirm one or more Creeds as a condition of membership. Baptists have no equivalent to the Book of Concord or to the Catholic Catechism except the Holy Bible. I know it sounds self-righteous, but it is one of 7 Baptist “distinctives” that...

    Don't worry leave it to God

    He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have [something] to share with one who has need. [Ephesians 4:28 NASB] Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE KINGDOM

    Come on now. Even YOU can not argue that the Apostles preached their Gospel Message from the book of Romans. However, I am willing to humor you. Where is the scripture that teaches “The kingdom of God includes the earthly kingdom”? Post the verses and I will examine them.

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Yes, Baptists still reject any source as Authoritative except Scripture. Creeds are nice, and they can be useful, but they have no authority. Baptists also believe that each man is responsible to answer to his conscience before God and can and should never be compelled to “believe” anything...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Since the version that I quoted is in Modern English, it probably reached ITS final form in the 20th Century. ;) However I am content that the basic truth contained within it appears to have been nailed down by the 4th Century and in any event, prior to the East-West schism ... so it was an...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    I think you have misunderstood the purpose of a Creed. Creeds are not designed to teach all Truth, they were created to define “orthodoxy” (which is just what the church officially believes) to combat some specific error that is being taught. A Creed is only binding on those churches (local...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE KINGDOM

    Ok, let’s look at Luke as well. [Luke 9:1-6 NASB] 1 And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. 3 And He said to them, "Take nothing for [your]...

    Kingdom of heaven is here now

    No he didn’t. Jesus actually said: [Matthew 16:1-4 NIV] 1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE KINGDOM

    This is not quite true. Let’s examine Matthew 4:23 as a starting point. The verse itself says: ”Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.” So the...
