    Salvation

    I cannot find this "Narrow Justification" in the Bible... i cannot find it in the first one and a half millennia of Christian history... You have not established it as a relevant Christian concept... The Bible only speaks of Justification... It NEVER speaks of NARROW Justification... I am...

    Psalm 105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. I would rather be an outcast in the House of the Lord... Diverting evils with the game of shells... Than dwell in the tents of the ungodly... Hearts harden in childhood... When adults betray...

    Pretty slippery dodge... Scripture says: Gal 2:17 We are seeking to be Justified by Christ Do you deny we are seeking Christ's Justification? Let's see if you continue to dodge this Scripture from Gal 2:17... Arsenios

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Tell that to Moses... Or to John the Evangellist... Or to anyone who is an intimate of God... Tell it to Ananias who Baptized Paul... Tell it to Paul... By your own Scripture your words ring false: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God... The writers of Scripture...

    Salvation

    Already dodged every time... How does God's Call prepare us for Justification by God... How does God's Justification prepare us for Glorification... Why is Justification but the half-way point in the Kingdom of Heaven? Is the Kingdom of Heaven at hand here and now? Arsenios

    Salvation

    The deeds of the one seeking Justification by Christ... You DO AGREE, do you not?... That we are to SEEK God's Justification??... Or do you DENY God's Holy words at the hand of Paul here?: Gal 2:17 But if, while we are seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    It was the best I could do for you... MC came up with a couple of verses that might help... I am not all that comfortable with faith by proof anyway... I prefer the Apostolic Faith by Revelation... Orthodoxy is where God sent me... Many converts to Orthodoxy have bags of issues with me...

    Does this answer your question? Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. So God Justifies after Calling and Glorifies after Justification... Yet here we have James asking...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    The ones cited, on the basis that He inaugurated the New Passover and is the Sacrificial Lamb, and He instituted the New Covenant in His Body and Blood, which we eat and drink, and He took the bread and said: "Eat of this all of you, this is my Body which is broken for you... " Because He did...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    I think you are right - And He took the (unleavened) bread, and He Blessed it, and He broke it, and He gave it to them... And then we find the two disciples on the road to Emanaeus, who did not recognize Christ UNTIL they SAW Him taking and Blessing and breaking and giving the Bread... Which...

    Should the pope step down

    He has politicized the Papacy with a left wing agenda, including global warming... This is not the role of a Christian Hierarch... He comes out of a South American matrix of politically involved clergy... The cover ups are part and parcel of that agenda... It is a terrible situation...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    I agree, and then we must deal with God's Word: Romans 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, "I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me." You see, I am one of these - I was shocked to find this written... In the Bible I had so...

    You have to desire Salvaiton... Your works constitute the sincerity of your asking God for it... You cannot just say something like: "Well, OK God, if you are passing it out, I guess I will take what you are giving me for free..." You have to say: "I will put ALL else aside for the sake of...

    Salvation

    Well, I do like to say that I am a very faithless person, having knowledge... But when it comes down to it, I really do not proceed according to what is seen, but according to what is not seen... And that is the quintessential definition of faith... And yes, the Ancient Faith of Christ is...

    Salvation

    The Protestant formulaic is often "Saving Grace", to differentiate it from other Graces... Orthodoxy understands this Grace to be Union with God... Protestants who have experienced it, and there are some, all agree with me... Those more doctrinal in a Biblical approach, tend to wonder what I...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    I merely understand Scripture from the 2000 year perspective of the Christian Apostolic Faith... You remind me of the German Bishops who took over the Latin Church in the 10th century... They came to us in Constantinople, indignantly demanding to know WHY we had REMOVED the Filioque from the...
