    Did you understand the question in the original post? Is it reasonable to ask that Christians do these two things?

    Not of the world

    The Lord offered a prayer for his disciples which contains these words and I wondered how they apply to Christians today John 17:14-20 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, am not of the world. 15 I am not praying that you...

    Hate

    Sometimes the Lord said some strange things that require serious thought. One such saying is this: Luke 14:25-33 Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them: 26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers...

    There's something that the Lord said that deserves some attention; most Christians think that everything that Jesus said deserves attention but some things have more impact than others and some make a stronger call on how Christians ought to live than others. So here is the quote Matthew...

    Communion of the Saints

    The topic is Communion of the saints and the prayers of the saints are offered to God by the angels and by the 24 elders as part of their worship of God. The correlation is obvious; the saints pray and those in heaven offer the saints' prayers to God. Those in heaven include the 24 elders, the...

    Communion of the Saints

    I offer not theory about who the 24 elders are except that they are not God nor Jesus. Prayers are in their bowls held in their hands and offered to God. Make of it what you will. The passage is still there after any and every explanation is turned to it to make it mean whatever the explainer wants.

    No one compels you to pray to anybody, not even to God.

    Communion of the Saints

    Evidently not. But what can one say? The holy scriptures say what they say and if some prefer to interpret them into something that best suits their system of beliefs then they will do that and who can stop them here in CH?

    Communion of the Saints

    I do not understand the confusion in Protestant ranks about the saints in heaven praying & offering the prayers of their Earthly brethren (including sisters). But it is evident that it exists. The passages in Revelation are present in Protestant bibles so I wonder why they are not heeded. It is...

    Communion of the Saints

    The verses teach that the saints in heaven worship God, sing hymns, play instruments1, make requests to Christ to avenge their martyrdom2, and offer prayers for the saints on earth3. Revelation 4:9-11 And while those living creatures were giving glory and honour and blessings to the One...

    Communion of the Saints

    The holy scriptures teach that the saints are not dead, but are fully alive in Jesus Christ, who is life itself (John 11:25; John 14:6) The holy scriptures teach that the saints worship God, sing hymns, play instruments, make requests to Christ to avenge their martyrdom, and offer prayers for...

    Communion of the Saints

    Reading the last few posts makes it look as if some here think that they know what God "hears" and from whom he "hears it" kind of like these posts were written by people with inside knowledge about God's hearing almost like they were writing under inspiration to give us the "low down" on...

    If Calvinism is not right, how come some people can't muster up faith?

    It is you who thinks thus and not I. You invented the "explanation" not me. My post gives a clear and obvious reply to atpollard's post.

    If Calvinism is not right, how come some people can't muster up faith?

    God didn't secrete the idea of repentance directly into your brain it developed in your brain because you heard the gospel or some part of it either by voice or vision (film perhaps or reading). It came through intermediary sources. Just as the content of your doctrine does. Just as the content...

    Communion of the Saints

    You just invent this stuff. The earth has 7.7 billion people living on it today (give or take some millions) of which 1.64 billion identify as Catholic. That's a little over 21% of all human beings living today. It is estimated that 3.9% of the world's total population practise animism of one...

    Communion of the Saints

    One prays ("asks" is how modern English speakers would say this) to the saints so that they will pray for the one asking them to pray for them just like you ask your friend to pray for you, like a recent post from Confessional Lutheran asked us to pray for him. That is the only explanation that...
