    A "Seven" and a "Woman"

    Yes, I agree that the Catholic Church has erroneously added a separate tradition to the Bible and certainly shouldn't have. However, we're talking about the time between about A.D. 100 and 350 as the early church before the Catholic Church became the Roman church. Since that period is largely...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Jesus clearly gives us his forgiveness and access to the Father's not-guilty verdict through his death AND his resurrection power for our victory over sins in our lives, though that process lasts a lifetime, as you mention. Look at Colossians 3, where Paul bases his commands for our spiritual...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Yeah, he wanted to have close fellowship with us, a relationship that robots wouldn't fulfill. The struggle with our sins will be over some day when Jesus returns. I eagerly look forward to that time, but in the meantime, he has given me productive activities to do to keep my mind active and...

    And may the 3-in-1 God bless you too in your journey with Jesus! Anything I can do or say to help, don't hesitate!

    Faith

    Hi, Lamb! In the Gospel of Mark, he emphasizes the disciples' unbelief. That's very understandable because they did not expect Jesus to be a suffering-Servant Messiah. They and all the Jews expected a conquering Hero who would chase the Romans away. They also expected that he would make them his...

    Mark 13:10

    The same passages could be used even more clearly to say that Mark got his eyewitness account from Peter and that Matthew was the eyewitness of all these events. Again, the gospel writers picked and chose the details that would benefit their different audiences. The early church before the...

    In honor of God and MLK!

    Read a historical novel about a black basketball coach and Martin Luther King in the turbulent 1960s: Surviving and Thriving In the 1960s: The Coach Brad Beame Story: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WWqp2mSwL._SY522_.jpg

    Can we know God? If so, how?

    Back up you answer with the Bible's verses in context, please.

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    The weak part of your summary is your point that according to prophecy and the words of Jesus the words had to be written within 1290 days of Jesus' resurrection. What if your literal interpretation of the number of days is wrong? It is used in other Bible books as symbolic of the three and a...

    Prayer practises.

    Yes and no. As a general rule to the Father through Jesus; as an occasional prayer, yes. But don't neglect the Father. Remember that the three Persons of the Trinity as our one God always work together. Therefore, all blessings come FROM the Father THROUGH Jesus BY the Holy Spirit.

    What do you mean by the phrase "early church," George?

    Mariology

    I learned those facts from church history class at seminary. Why do you disagree?

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Well, we certainly agree on Jesus as God along with the Father and the Holy Spirit as the one God, don't we? The Gospel of John is very clear on that truth. However, I'm a little more tentative on my interpretations of prophecies than you are. The false teachers taking over the early church and...

    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

    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...
