"Modern Christmas trees have been related to the "tree of paradise" of medieval mystery plays that were given on 24 December, the commemoration and name day of Adam and Eve in various countries. In such plays, a tree decorated with apples (to represent the forbidden fruit) and wafers (to...
Mennonites are, according to their doctrine, non-violent and most members obey that teaching. Yet Mennonites shun those who are excommunicated. I think shunning is unkind, but I will not say that Mennonites are bad people or that shunning is murder.
Given @Albion's comment shown below. Is anything that he wrote correct? Do you, for example, have some issue with the doctrine of the Holy Trinity?
I am inclined to think that you accept the doctrine of the Holy Trinity since participation in the "Christian" subforums implies personal...
I am a little confused by the various posts you've written.
First you appear to teach Limited Atonement and oppose what you call "Universal atonement".
Then you seem to teach that without holiness no one will see God.
Now it looks like you're discrediting the founders of Protestantism.
But you...
I am no friend to the "reformers" nor to the Catholics who so wantonly killed heretics. And I see the point you're writing about. It seems to me that Adolf Hitler didn't directly kill many people and probably did not directly kill any Jews yet few will have any difficulty assigning guilt (and...

Remember,
Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
Saint Mark says
Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved.
So, the threads on
One baptism,
Predestination,
Truth, and
Forgiveness
all come together.
Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace.
One body and one Spirit:
to this you have been...
Instead, Christians ought to spend their time profitably, proclaiming the gospel.
Believe! believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, you and your household.
Thus, the gospel is to be preached to all creation, for a witness, and then the end [of the ages] shall come.
So, all...

The original post, as you almost guessed, is about Adam and soon after, Eve, before the fall, when Adam was the son of God named in saint Luke's genealogy.
And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old, being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of...
