    Communion of the Body of Christ

    I had a feeling either you or Josiah would make that statement. But, every time a person speaks symbolic language they don't announce it. I don't do that and neither do you. The fact is, that Jesus used symbolic language often. In the parables and also how he spoke to the disciples. If you...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    You keep saying this mantra that if it was good enough for 1500 years then it is good enough for you. I find that respond to be really lacking however. If you've studied church history you realize that includes the period of the dark ages when the church became completely corrupt and deviated...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    I believe your quoting the same passage in three different gospels. He does say that and I would interpret that to mean that he is saying "This bread symbolizes my body." The disciples clearly understood that he didn't mean literally because it was not his body, but it was bread

    reasons to leave a church

    Well, I mentioned the incident with secular music before when that incident happened. The praise band did a part of a U2 song "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" which I thought was an odd choice when we as a church have actually found Jesus or we claim we have who is exactly what we...

    reasons to leave a church

    What do you think are legitimate reasons to leave a church you are a member of? I wasn't a member there, but a consistent attender when the church I was at a few years ago was using some secular music during the service and also playing it before and after the service. I told the pastor I...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    If your talking about being spiritually present with us, this is not just true during communion but in every single moment of life. Colossians 1:15-17 15 "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on...

    Bivocational pastors verses career pastors

    Yes, I know. That would be a huge package for a small church like that. When I worked in the church the whole package would have been much smaller even figuring in the parsonage that the church owned but the pastor would be allowed to live in.

    JOHN 15:1 THE TRUE VINE

    Absolutely, Jesus ministry was first to the Jewish people when he was on the earth. He gave them the first chance to respond just as Paul did. Paul usually started his ministry in the synagogue. When they did not respond he went to the Gentiles.

    I actually hope that I don't move again, but if I did I would have to agree with Tango that it would be somewhere fairly remote.

    Bivocational pastors verses career pastors

    I don't know of any small or middle size Baptist church that pays its pastor that well.

    Who will face Trump in the election of 2020?

    That's because Castro's campaign is failing and he has to go after the guy who is polling the best which is Biden. But, to answer your question it seems like a three or four candidates now realistically are in the Democrat field, Biden, Warren, Harris and Sanders

    How do you feel about female pastors?

    I don't see anywhere in scripture where it is permitted. But, of course, some would say that was a different time and culture then and we have to understand the culture that Paul lived in. Back then, women simply didn't teach men in a religious setting.

    How do you feel about female pastors?

    Do you think it is biblical for pastors who preach and teach in the church to be female? If so, why and what is your biblical support for this? How do you deal with that in light of what 1 Timothy 2:11-12 says 11 "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a...

    Bivocational pastors verses career pastors

    Do you think it is biblical that some pastors do their job full time and have that as their singular career? Or is it more biblical for those who preach to also have jobs outside of the church? I found that when I have worked inside the church, I have had less of an opportunity to share my...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Okay, thank you for sharing Josiah. Since I have said what I think I am not going to reply anymore to this thread. I will say however that I don't think that repentance is "off topic" as you claim because to me repentance is the singluar event that is needed before baptism can occur. Since...

    JOHN 15:1 THE TRUE VINE

    As a believer in the New Covenant which Jesus instituted at the Last Supper, I interpret the Old in the light of the New, but I don't discount it. So, of course, animal sacrifices are no longer appropriate because Jesus became our eternal sacrifice. That doesn't though discount the commands in...
