    The group in the Temple [Rev 11:1] Who are they?

    MoreCoffee Post #72 on Page 8: Another superficial, and deceptive, throw-away line. Notice how he dishonestly presents two options only – both showing visionary and her Scripture-based posts in a bad light. "Heretical"? Does MoreCoffee use the term "heretical" because visionary's...

    Name those sins Christ didn't die for

    And now I have a request for understanding with respect to something I have always found puzzling. In Post #161, Lämmchen offered: The references in that offering were extracted from Jesus' broader proclamation in Matthew 25:31-46: What puzzles me is, Jesus is here talking about salvation...

    Oh Hell!!!

    I refer Readers back to Post # 68 on Page 7, where Alithis stated of visionary's offerings: I refer Readers also to my Post #71 on Page 8 where I made the request: I also pointed out: Unfortunately, Alithis so far has been unable or unwilling to furnish a point-by-point substantiation of his...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    Good idea. I suggest we let God have the first word. May I request that Lämmchen present all the relevant Scriptures from both the OLD and NEW Testaments for us first? What better basis for discussion could there possibly be?

    Resurrection

    Once again I would commend visionary for the seriousness she displays in her quest for the understanding of Scriptural truth. I believe she deserves commendation from each of us in that regard. That is so even if we do not all necessarily see eye to eye on every conclusion she may draw...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    It took me a long time to recognise it and overcome it. I continue to find it amazing how successfully and effectively churches condition their members to not see what is right in front of them in the Scriptures. But that is not surprising. Looking too closely and seeing things that people...

    The group in the Temple [Rev 11:1] Who are they?

    Here's another thought based on posts in this thread. How can someone from the Roman Catholic church, attempt to legitimise contra-Biblical doctrines dreamed up by post-apostolic theologians? How can the impression of legitimacy be psychologically implanted in people's minds, without their...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    In Post #93 on Page 10, bill1231 offered: My thanks to bill1231 for his reply. However, I wish to ask a clarification of him. What sort of wine was being drunk by Jesus and His disciples at that “last supper”?

    The group in the Temple [Rev 11:1] Who are they?

    In Post #70 on Page 7, with reference to a web page from which visionary had obtained biblical references (http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/ten_commandments-new_testament.html), and in answer to her question “what do you think?”, said: I suspect that visionary was actually asking what...

    Is it immoral for a Christian to eat pork?

    I think a few considerations have been overlooked. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. One important reason for the strictures of the Law, was to keep Israel separate from the pagan nations which surrounded it. The restrictions made the...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    In Post #68 on Page 7 it was stated: However, if the Church really is Christian, (any Church and every Church that is), should not that Church (those Churches) actually do what Jesus commanded? Should not His self-proclaimed followers (individually and collectively) commemorate His...

    Oh Hell!!!

    In Post # 68 on Page 7, Alithis stated of visionary's offerings: I assume that Alithis' statements are not merely superficial cop-outs. Many churches employ statements similar to those above, because their leaders fear some of the direct, inspired truths that God revealed to His chosen...

    Churches, Doctrines, and Trustworthiness

    In Post #57 on Page 6, visionary made reference to the possibility of an online Bible study. May I suggest that Skype could be a very positive medium for conducting a highly interactive Bible study among interested people. Verse by verse study lends itself readily to that environment. Were...

    Churches, Doctrines, and Trustworthiness

    MoreCoffee in Post #58 on Page 6, asked: I think the following scriptures will do. 1 Thessalonians 1:7,8: 1 Peter 4:17: Seeing that to disobey the Gospel one must be aware of it, and seeing that the Gospel is clearly and fully laid out in the Holy Scriptures (Jude 1:3), I submit that...

    Oh Hell!!!

    … Continued Let it be understood that I am personally wary of Jehovah's Witnesses, for a number of reasons. However, I do not let any implied personal association or labelling of a person or the information they present, discourage me from giving attention to what that person has offered for...

    Oh Hell!!!

    ... Continued In this instance we have visionary (in Posts ranging from #1 to #15) presenting interesting ideas based on what appears to be a reasonably in-depth analysis of scripture and a sound understanding of the background culture, thought processes and word meanings of the day. Does not...

    Oh Hell!!!

    I was expecting a response like that found in Post #16 on Page 2. (Have a look at it.) I had actually come across that sort of thing before. Many times. As a general and highly consistent rule, whenever a solid investigation is undertaken into what the Holy Inspired Scriptures actually state...

    Name those sins Christ didn't die for

    In Post #151 I floated that thought that MoreCoffee might have the proclivity for playing mind games in his posts. (bill1231 subsequently used the descriptive term “wordplay” in that context – see Post #154.) It is worthy of note that in his very next post (Post #152) MoreCoffee fell for the...

    Churches, Doctrines, and Trustworthiness

    MoreCoffee in Post #41 on Page 5, asked: Could the answer in fact be easy to determine? At least in one aspect? I float the thought that the answer is an unequivocal “Yes!” Consider: If a person displays belief in any doctrine (or concept) that God did not reveal or proclaim in His Holy...

    Name those sins Christ didn't die for

    MoreCoffee in Post #44 asked: That was in reply to Lämmchen's comment re Job in Post #41: MoreCoffee continued to support his stance in subsequent posts. Now, I would have thought MoreCoffee would have been familiar with, for instance, the following statements in Gods Most Holy Revelation to...
