    Mary - Queen Of Heaven

    Well, what do you say about what Jesus said in response to their arrival to seize or arrest or take charge of Jesus? He was disagreeing with their actions at the very least.

    How are we supposed to witness?

    In Acts 1:8, Jesus says to the disciples, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” This verse says why, but how are we supposed to witness? What must we say, for example?

    Mary - Queen Of Heaven

    1) Again, you're reading into the Revelation 12 passage your attempt to justify praying to Mary, which began in the 1500s, not in the Bible. 2) It does "make sense" that the first one is a collective symbol. Why not? Mary is not mentioned or referred to in the whole chapter. It's your addition...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    I don't see any of your statements that we disagree on.

    Prayer practises.

    We aren't getting anywhere here in understanding each other, so I'm going stop. But I'm thankful that you folks, Stephen, do believe in the Trinity and all the most important Christian beliefs.

    "Reformed" (non denomination specific) subculture question

    In what passage did the Apostle Paul say that all brothers "should be saying the same thing"? I agree, by the way, that we need to stay close to God's Word alone.

    Daniel Seventy Sevens

    The three-year ministry of Jesus would be only one year according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, because they mention only one Passover, but John shows Jesus attending three Passovers. Therefore, people have deduced that he had a three-year mission. My dim memory of seminary produces...

    Mary - Queen Of Heaven

    In Revelation 12, you say, "This can be taken to be a reference to Mary." It can also be taken more likely as the Old Testament people of God symbolized as the woman. Was Mary clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet with a crown of twelve stars when she gave birth to Jesus in that...

    Prayer practises.

    Brother Steven, 1) How do you know that the ones in heaven saw it directly or maybe they heard it from God? 2) It's obvious that it is a metaphor comparing symbolic bowls to prayers, which come up to God, not to the creatures. 3) Yeah, it's an angel, not Mary or the human saints with the prayers...

    One sign of Original Sin

    Very true, Frank!

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Not only is God a God of love and grace, but he's also a divinely-just Judge of all humans. He allows, doesn't cause, Satan to bring floods and plagues to call unbelievers to trust in Jesus as the only way to his acceptance. If they don't during their whole lives, sadly, they have earned...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    You have not explained your charge that makes such religion false. That's a drastic statement to make, since they seem to have a different emphasis on biblical truth from yours.

    Bound for Hell, not God's fault

    Yeah, I wouldn't want to live in any of the big cities on the West Coast. We lived on an island in the Puget Sound about 90 miles north of Seattle. I could have retired in Oak Harbor if any of my kids had decided to stay there, but they didn't. Oak Harbor gets half of the rain that Seattle gets...

    Mark 13:10

    @JustTheFacts, you seem to be so certain about which verses are from the false teachers and which weren't. I would be very careful if I were you what I declare is and is not the Word of God, who will call us all to account for all our declarations.

    One sign of Original Sin

    You are correct about the necessity to look to the Bible for our only source of the truth, but we also need to avoid false interpretations that our minds concoct and impose on the Bible texts.

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    If your mind and logic was at all involved apart from the Bible, you may have gone astray. We need to seek God's gift of humility instead of our own human pride, which is often very active, since we are sinful.

    Mariology

    Your interpretation of a highly-symbolic book, Revelation, is fascinating, JustTheFacts, but you might be completely wrong. What makes you so sure that you are right? A little humility would say "I think" or "it seems to me" or "I believe that it means." Prophecy is very hard to interpret before...

    Prayer practises.

    So, where do you find in the Bible that saints and Mary hear your prayers? You refer to two living humans, Paul and Ananias. God could make it happen that dead saints hear people's prayers, but in what passage is it found? And please don't give me the silence of Scripture. If it doesn't say...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    I wouldn't be so certain about your interpretation of the "day of the Lord," if I were you, SetFree. I lean toward one interpretation, but I'm also a "pan-millennialist"--it'll all pan out!! :)

    Mary - Queen Of Heaven

    God didn't want the people to have a king because: 1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. 1Sa 8:8 According to all the deeds that they have done, from...
