    Early Church authority

    I don't know much about the veneration of Mary but I do know that early churches organized according to Paul's addressing their issues on disorder. Early Christian writings go into detail on how their average worship services were like, a great improvement to how they were before Paul corrected...

    "Judith, too, became perfect among women. In the siege of the city, at the entreaty of the elders, she went forth into the stranger's camp, despising all danger for her country's sake." -Clement of Alexandria (c 195)

    Scroll Publishing has done amazing research into what early Christians believed about such and such.. David Bercot has online courses (thehistoricfaith.com) that goes into even more topics but most of his lectures are free.. His book "A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs" is a must have for...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Brother you assume that we haven't read the bible for ourselves, that we have yet to repent and obey, that we have yet to believe and that we probably won't overcome in the end, because that's the way you preach to us at CH, as if we refuse to repent and hope not to overcome.. I like your...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    The "Apocrypha" are not from the New Testament, so "favor of God by doing good works" is nothing new in the Old Testament, but I have heard this argument before so please cite exactly what passages bring you to the conclusion that the Apocrypha preaches keeping the Law that's any different from...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    You assume that the good Lord doesn't put obedience in our hearts, the Word teaches us with full authority what is good and what is not good, and although we aren't perfect God allows us grace to mature through conviction of the heart as a Father would. When I feel conviction I know he forgives...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    I guess the Holy KJV 1611 wasn't completely Holy to begin with... "Apocrypha" is NOT a fancy word for "uninspired" NOR does it mean "Non Canon".. Jerome labeled it that ONLY because POST Christianity unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem a thousand years later did not include them in the Masoretic which...

    Christianity Today Editor Gives Political View About Trump

    I can agree with that, Trump is not a prophet nor does he preach of Jesus but he openly confessed his belief and yes he is still a sinner, I personally don't see it but maybe through a few tweets where I am embarrassed to have read them, but other than that I see a very calm headed, sober, and a...

    Letter to the Corinthians (Clement) circa 70-96 AD Chapter 55. Examples of Such Love. To bring forward some examples from among the heathen: Many kings and princes, in times of pestilence, when they had been instructed by an oracle, have given themselves up to death, in order that by their own...

    Christianity Today Editor Gives Political View About Trump

    Only if Trump were an attendee at your local congregation, and you and others confront him and he still acted foolish then he could be outed and become Anathema right? Kanye wrote some very unholy songs but has supposably changed, but because I know him not personally I can't really judge him...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    Sooo.. Since Jerome went to Jerusalem for Jewish commentary on scripture during his Latin translation and didn't find these books included in their Tanakh... and out of "respect" to the Church he labeled them "Apocrypha"...and the church embraced the word even though they hated the idea.. and...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    They are the books Luther rejected as canon, you can probably figure out which books they were.. Many are additions to other books, letters, wisdom books, historical books, poetry, prophetic etc.. No more or less inspired than the "other writings" apart from the Torah.. I've listed them before...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    I'm not surprised that Christ rejecting Jews would set up a "canon" in 90 AD... there are documents in both pre Nicene writings and Talmudic history that the Jews were not too thrilled about gentiles using books that were TAUGHT in synagogues to use to support Messianic prophesy.. so where did...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    Simple the books of the "Apocrypha" are the ones called the "Apocrypha".. you can find them in Catholic bibles and east orthodox bibles... Here's my defense of these books the NT Gospel to Christians is like the OT Torah to the Jews, the OT for Christians includes not only the Torah but the...
