    Mariology

    What is your information that the false teachers took over the early, pre-Roman church? I have given you information on the people who resisted the heretics who tried to take it over but were unsuccessful.

    Bound for Hell, not God's fault

    You are right to say that we are not predestined to die in our sin. God chooses believers for salvation, but as a result he permits unbelievers to go the way their lives want to go in relying on their many idols for comfort and security. Sadly, I hope and pray that the people of LA will turn to...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    In Romans 5:10, Paul is talking about the fact that we were enemies when God saved us through his gift of faith by his grace. That's why it's his grace, because we were his enemies at the time he saved us.

    Mariology

    Even more Mariology information: Once people began to worship the mother more than the child, Babylonian priests felt forced to issue an edict deifying the mother also. After the passage of still more time, "her son's birth was boldly declared to be miraculous, and therefore she was called...

    Mariology

    More infomation about Mariology: But the cult with the greatest influence on early Christianity, according to Benko, was that of the Great Mother (Magna Mater). Known in western Asia Minor as Cybele, she was to become the model for Mariology. Throughout the region, many priests of the new...

    Mariology

    More interesting analysis of Mary's prominence: The goddess, Semiramis, was also known as Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtoreth: the original Queen of Heaven (Jeremiah 44:15–19). Her son, Tammuz, joined her in creating the world's first mother/son cult. The cult spread to Egypt as Isis and Osiris, Venus...

    Mariology

    Doctrine was further refined by a series of influential theologians and teachers, known collectively as the Church Fathers.[35] From the year 100 onward, proto-orthodox teachers like Ignatius of Antioch and Irenaeus defined Catholic teaching in stark opposition to other things, such as...

    A "Seven" and a "Woman"

    Yes, I agree that the Catholic Church has erroneously added a separate tradition to the Bible and certainly shouldn't have. However, we're talking about the time between about A.D. 100 and 350 as the early church before the Catholic Church became the Roman church. Since that period is largely...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Jesus clearly gives us his forgiveness and access to the Father's not-guilty verdict through his death AND his resurrection power for our victory over sins in our lives, though that process lasts a lifetime, as you mention. Look at Colossians 3, where Paul bases his commands for our spiritual...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Yeah, he wanted to have close fellowship with us, a relationship that robots wouldn't fulfill. The struggle with our sins will be over some day when Jesus returns. I eagerly look forward to that time, but in the meantime, he has given me productive activities to do to keep my mind active and...

    Faith

    Hi, Lamb! In the Gospel of Mark, he emphasizes the disciples' unbelief. That's very understandable because they did not expect Jesus to be a suffering-Servant Messiah. They and all the Jews expected a conquering Hero who would chase the Romans away. They also expected that he would make them his...

    Mark 13:10

    The same passages could be used even more clearly to say that Mark got his eyewitness account from Peter and that Matthew was the eyewitness of all these events. Again, the gospel writers picked and chose the details that would benefit their different audiences. The early church before the...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    The weak part of your summary is your point that according to prophecy and the words of Jesus the words had to be written within 1290 days of Jesus' resurrection. What if your literal interpretation of the number of days is wrong? It is used in other Bible books as symbolic of the three and a...

    Prayer practises.

    Yes and no. As a general rule to the Father through Jesus; as an occasional prayer, yes. But don't neglect the Father. Remember that the three Persons of the Trinity as our one God always work together. Therefore, all blessings come FROM the Father THROUGH Jesus BY the Holy Spirit.

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Well, we certainly agree on Jesus as God along with the Father and the Holy Spirit as the one God, don't we? The Gospel of John is very clear on that truth. However, I'm a little more tentative on my interpretations of prophecies than you are. The false teachers taking over the early church and...
