    Wisdom chapter 2: Prophetic or uninspired?

    “Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings (Matthew 23:1-4, 13-33), Reproaches us for transgressions of the law (Matthew 15:6, John 7:19, et al.) and charges us with violations of our training (Matthew 12:3, 5, 19:4, 23:31, Mark 12:26, John...

    Is penance biblical?

    So what is penance then? Punish yourself by doing the right thing like Stephen suggest? Why not just repent like the Bible says?

    Is penance biblical?

    Exactly, the law of the land has consequences built in, the victim you stole from could easily report it and have you convicted

    Is penance biblical?

    I think that it's not my responsibility what YOU do, I know that for ME I could not sleep if I stole someone's money, my heart would weigh too heavy with conviction

    Is penance biblical?

    Forgive others and the Father will forgive you. Other people don't matter, they can forgive you but God isn't going to forgive you your sin because you recited 50 hail Marys, they are absolved, you cannot walk into a church and walk out with your sins forgiven/absolved

    Is penance biblical?

    That's like punching someone and then punching yourself for doing it lol Penance sounds a lot like indulgences to me, using prayer as currency basically. The goal is to repent and do the right thing if you know you did wrong and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in you will naturally compel...

    Is penance biblical?

    No you repent and stop doing it. I was once a heavy shoplifter and the day I got saved I felt that conviction in my soul and repented my sin, you couldn't pay me to steal a pack of gum now days, God delivered me from that way of life.

    Is penance biblical?

    How is praying a form of punishment? Also, as Lämmchen said, Jesus took our punishment, we must also "take up our cross" and we also "die daily", did you know that "martyr" and "witness" are synonymous? When we witness to others our faith in Christ we are taking up our cross and following...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    The faithful Tobias washes himself as the beastly fish from the water strikes his heel. The Angel directs Tobias to pull the fish unto shore where it becomes helpless and dies in torture deprived of oxygen. Tobias then takes of the fish and portions the remains for healing and cleansing.. the...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    The ABS is 100% Protestant, one of it's main goals was to keep America protestant, they saw the Catholic Church as a false form of Christianity that was growing rapidly across America and decided to press only the 66 books of the protestant Bible to counter the Catholic spread of influence. It...

    Is penance biblical?

    Well of course that's biblical, but I'm referring to penance after confession, like 50 Hail Marys

    Is penance biblical?

    Exactly, and it's even more backwards when you think of it, it makes praying a form of punishment and it also gives one a false sense of repentance and allows them immunity to willfully sin without ever feeling any true conviction of the heart. What a silly ritual

    Definition: voluntary self-punishment inflicted as an outward expression of repentance for having done wrong. How is this biblical?

    Let’s Talk About New Age Metaphysical Stores

    Yeah stay away from that store. Btw what protestant sect is this? Truth is, witches believe they can control and predict their future, and healing is a gift from God not of pagan crystals. I've seen this kind of stuff in stores in the Texas valley around Mexico and in Mexico, charms of...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    The term "canon" only changed among the protestants to mean "these books and only these books are considered Holy Scripture to the Church", this is FALSE as history has shown that all known HOLY BIBLES up until the 19th Century contained many more SCRIPTURE than what we have in our Holy Bibles...

    Was the Messiah prophesied to heal the blind according to the OT?

    Rufinus implies that Jerome was a heretic for siding with Barabbas and forsaking the tradition of the Apostles

    Prayers for Afghanistan

    I can't believe Joe Biden can sleep through this, I just saw a clip from Ben Shapiros show of a girl getting stomped and kicked around probably beaten to death, little girls crying for help because they know that it's just a matter of time before they are raped and taken into sex slavery.. I...
