    Crazy Christian Theology

    "Babylon" appears to be the world's unbelieving religious system, not the Christian church, which wasn't the Roman Catholics at that time. For all their incorrect theology, at least the Catholics are strongly Trinitarian and have that key belief in common with Protestants. I believe that the...

    Mark 13:10

    What other scholars say that Nicodemus wrote the Gospel of Matthew, JustTheFacts?

    Mark 13:10

    But are those two events "Peter-promoting" at all? His profession, Jesus' approval, and the "Peter-demoting" event that follows are also in Matthew: Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    (1) I am a member of one such church, a huge, growing one that sticks very closely to the Bible and is built on the Bible, prayer, and small groups. So, you think that Jezebel, Babylon, and the new Jerusalem are the same woman?? That doesn't make any sense, if true. (2) Where is clear evidence...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    Yes, but I was referring to the fact that God doesn't rescue them at birth; he did it for me at the age of 16.

    Crazy Christian Theology

    (1) To which woman in Revelation are you referring? There's Jezebel in the letters, Babylon, and the new Jerusalem in a wedding dress. But why do you use dictionary meanings of words? (2) I find nothing in Matthew to verify that Nicodemus is the author. The only references are in John, where he...

    A "Seven" and a "Woman"

    All I'm saying is that there might possibly be another legitimate interpretation because of that kind of literature based on figurative visions. We must take into account the kind of writing involved in order to interpret it correctly. However, your comments in between the verses show your...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    We are all on our way to hell when we're born, but God has chosen some to be rescued, but he passes by others. He doesn't create them to be fallen; they do it to themselves.

    Mark 13:10

    No, that's precisely what I was talking about concerning literature interpretation. Take the document as a whole and interpret it as it appears instead of dissecting it into parts. That's one place you have gone wrong in your interpretation of the Bible. As I said before, I trust the early...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    For example, your use of the dictionary's meanings shows that the ordinary, popular meanings of words are important to you rather than the Bible's own meanings as God's Word through word studies within the Bible. Your constant emphasis on the authorship of the gospels reveals your modern...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    Your conclusion that "He created them vessels of wrath" is not supported by the text, brightfame52! What is wrong with the interpretation that before creation God chose believers but passed by unbelievers, who go to hell because of their stubborn rebellion, thus allowing for human responsibility?

    Prayer practises.

    It is clear in the Bible that the three Persons of God work together all the time. That truth is in the context of your verse: Joh 14:13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Joh 14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. Joh...

    A "Seven" and a "Woman"

    Yes, except if those numbers of days are symbolic, as the many numbers in Revelation are. I'm afraid that you have through your analysis arrived at a conclusion and gathered together many texts that you believe support it. That's called theology. However, how many of those references have the...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    JustTheFacts, you have exposed the fallacy of your approach to the Bible. You use human abilities to study the Bible from outside the Bible. The best theology studies the Bible from its own viewpoints (after all, it is God's inspired Word), not from external viewpoints, which you have done.

    Mariology

    We know that such a human will pray for us, a request that Paul made all the time. You don't know at all if Mary or the saints hear you, because they are limited human souls in heaven. Neither do you know that they have any awareness of your presence on the earth. The saints, including all true...

    Prayer practises.

    Mat 6:9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Why is it "clearly wrong" to pray to the Father and not to Jesus? Jesus tells us to pray "in his name" but not to him. Jhn_14:13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    brightfame52, why do you add the words in parentheses (as others) after wrath to 1 Thessalonians 5:9? Doesn't the Bible warn us not to add to it? 1Th 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 who died for us so that whether...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Why is Matthew 28:16-20 a contradiction with John? Please be specific. First, God taught me how to interpret literature in general and then reinforced that knowledge with the best interpretation of the Bible with which I preached for 27 years, because there are many parallels. The differences...

    Mariology

    Mariology has grown up with the Popes' approval to support praying to Mary with the Rosary. She is alleged to have been conceived sinlessly, receives believers' prayers, and comforts believers--all doctrines that have been added to the Bible, which is what the Popes have been doing for...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    I didn't address your last point. In order to understand any literature's meaning, including the Bible's, we need to study their writing from their own viewpoints, and then we can take the principles or main ideas they present and apply them to the present and to the future. We must also learn...
