    Why was Mary necessary?

    The good thing about Mary is that honoring her isn't necessary for our salvation but the bad thing is when there is heresy and the truth of Jesus gets corrupted because of issues surrounding Mary and that's a shame. In looking through a lot of this thread I have found that the majority of the...

    Cain's wife and descendants

    The historian Josephus wrote that Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters but I have no idea where he got those figures from but it is known that Adam and Eve had sons and daughters in Genesis 5:4. We also know that the intermarriage law didn't come until Leviticus when Moses was around so it...

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    I've visited other churches for the purposes of weddings where there is communion and confirmations, first communions for relatives, special guest pastors I want to hear and so on and so forth and there is usually opportunity for communion and it is something I think twice about and long and...

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    It seems to me that you're comparing their refusal of you participating at the table as on par with you not being considered a Christian and I assure you that is not the case.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Wouldn't it be great if after she gives you those verses you put them side by side here and compare those verses to what Jesus actually said and is brought it up in multiple locations in the bible? Wouldn't that just rock? hehe

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    Have you looked into their beliefs to learn why they have closed communion or is it because you felt it was your God-given right to receive that it is too much effort to even find out the real reason? There are more churches than the Roman Catholics who practice closed communion so would you...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    I Cor. 10:16: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" For those who insist it is symbolic only look at the verse above and see how they respond is it not a participation in...

    Judging

    If God has already judged someone's actions in scripture then why are Christians the ones being blamed and accused of judging? Have you considered that thought?

    Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?

    True indeed that Paul mocked false teachers and weren't they abundant in the scriptures during his travels when he wrote letters trying to put people back on the right track and focus on our Lord Jesus Christ?

    Why was Mary necessary?

    Did God use a random woman to reveal His Son I see is in your post and I am not sure if this has been brought up in the many pages of this thread but God wasn't to be born on earth in an earthly kingdom with a crown and riches but instead his plan was to humble himself before us and be born in...

    Extreme situations

    If I can defend myself in a situation I can and do because the Lord God gave me a brain to use and skills to use to be protected, in that I am trusting of Him and his gifts to me because to sit back and wait for intervention fro him or the angels neglects the wonderful body parts he gave to me.

    Holy Communion - Receiving weekly?

    There is no law or mandate about how often to take communion yet if we make it less and less each month or year should we not examine ourselves and wonder why we don't want to receive it? I understand from history that some churches did not have communion often because they shared pastors with...

    Bill, I would like to ask you if it made you angry because you felt an entitlement to taking communion?

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    I believe in the real presence in Holy Communion and I don't know if anyone else mentioned this yet or not in the thread but I love the foreshadowing in the old testament concerning the sacrifices and eating them. 1 Corinthians 10:18

    Evangelical Only Ash wednesday -Odins day .. Interesting information regarding the practice

    You presented some false ideas of what Ash Wednesday is all about even when others have tried to correct you and that isn't something to be proud of. This thread isn't something to be proud of either and Josiah nailed it.

    Evangelical Only Ash wednesday -Odins day .. Interesting information regarding the practice

    Be careful, Josiah that you don't do anything that Jesus didn't do because then you're a pagan and not a true follower. You better not be wearing trousers because Jesus didn't wear them! Did Jesus get a haircut? Did he shave? That might be pagan works there so watch out. You want to be such an...

    How is Jesus the first born of the dead?

    Looks like whenpigsfly is really good at catching peoples' errors hehe Nice backtrack though. The original post is in reference to Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. The rest...

    WHAt should a Congregating of the Church be ?

    Wasn't God's Word throughout that Lutheran service since that's what the liturgical is starting from the very beginning and continuing through the end so it's God's Word that brings us to life and it's God's Word that feeds our faith. It's not about our emotions and whether or not we have some...

    Are angels and demons more revered than God by some?

    There are teen novels that focus on angels and demons and they are even glorified yet I don't see any mention of Jesus in said novels or anything else so it's as if people want to lead others astray by removing the proper focus.
