    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...

    Communion of the Saints

    Exactly which pagan practise was it from, please give documentation showing pagans praying to saints, that is, holy persons who served Yahweh and Jesus Christ.

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

    but it came from God and His Will, not mine! I do not think your statement is true. You know as well as do I that what a person thinks comes from his brain. It does not come from invisible spirits planting ideas in the brain. It is not God secreting ideas in the brain. It is the brain working...

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

    This part is simple truth. It is what I believe and confess. This part is a conclusion couched as a question. This part is simple truth This part is a question, rhetorical but still a question. This part is mixed self deprecating humour and simple data drawn from holy scripture. This part...

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

    How does that work exactly. I say and believe with truth and sincerity that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead so I am saved? I do not believe John Calvin's ideas on various topics though on some other topics John Calvin says things that look right to me. So is that how it...

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

    You can. What I wrote does not imply that you cannot. But I wonder why it matters to you if Calvinism is right or not because Calvinism is nothing more than a set of dogmas put forward as an explanation of some passages in holy scripture and some ideas from philosophy. As such Calvinism is a...

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    Denominations came from Protestant groups dividing one from another so it is no wonder that each has its own distinct set of dogmas because if they didn't then why would they separate one from another? Orthodox and Catholic Christians differ on some points so I will not speak for the Orthodox...

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    I watched a video that I think is interesting and worth discussing. It deals with faults that may be real or imagined and their manipulation within psychology and religion and it deals with biases that may be either real of imagined and their use within the work place and other settings where...

    I am wondering what the current topic has to do with the topic raised in the first post in this thread.

    Be merciful.

    Such a shame. Very sad to see. The man killed 49 people. They were at prayer in mosques. How can that be defended as if it were not wicked? All that can be said is repent. Repent of the sentiment that created the words in the post quoted above.

    Be merciful.

    Elisha was a man, probably not especially elderly at the time of the incident. The children were not old enough to be described as men in the story so they were likely prepubescent. They were not likely to be bullies, disrespectful children yes, bullies not likely. The bears that tore them them...
