    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Once again, you are making an unfair generalization about denominations AND even independent congregations. There are plenty of small congregations that are anything but wealthy. You certainly do not have to meet at McDonald's for prayer and hotcakes with no more than two other people at your...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Great. Most churches do not require a tithe. What's the next excuse?

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    I just asked you about denominations or at least a non-denominational congregation that IS NOT stained--in your view--by some "bloody" past. There's been no good answer to that, of course. You have used just about every excuse in order to explain why you prefer being a 'lone wolf'...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    You were attacking any and all denominations in your remarks, at least the better known ones. Reducing that down to "The Pope" doesn't make your earlier condemnations of the Biblical structure of Christian assemblies--all the ones you decline to belong to--any more credible.

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    I can hardly believe that this is an accurate statement. Not unless you live well off the grid. I notice that you indict denominations in general, but you often word it as "institutional" or "mainline" ones. Why so? I suppose that's because you are wary of making a blanket statement. Still...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Well, obviously you disagree. But if the explanation is incorrect, what's gained by offering it?

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Now you're just raving and assuming all sorts of things about hypothetical "wrongs" that don't even bear upon the issues here. 😒

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Those were still "churches," Dave. The location of the assembly, even in a private residence, does not make these be anything like your meeting with a couple of family members over an Egg McMuffin! No, that alibi that you've tried on us before still doesn't work. While it's true that some...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    In one sense, that's right. He is true and is "with" his disciples always, just he promised. He answers prayer wherever it is uttered, for instance, even without the petitioner being in church at that moment. However, you are also doing without the Lord's Supper, dismissing the fellowship of...

    Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation and Paul

    Something happened to the bread Jesus was holding--and then the contents of the cup--for him to have given these to his Apostles and then said of them that they were his body and blood. :unsure: In view of what he goes on to say about these elements (forgive sins, for instance), this cannot...

    Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation and Paul

    When, exactly, did Thomas Cranmer become your infallible authority, replacing the Bible?? And now, in order to deny the Real Presence, you have to also deny the Creeds and the Bible's testimony concerning the Ascension. I wonder where this will lead to next. His physical body was in a...

    Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation and Paul

    Well, our friend has either hinted at, or outright denied, both of those teachings in earlier posts of his, so that may explain the somewhat odd nature of his approach here and now.

    Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation and Paul

    Correct, but let's just make that read like this: "is still the doctrine among...and Anglicans." Nicely explained. I think Transubstantiation was made official in the Roman Catholic Church in 1215. But one more thing perhaps. The reason that Lutherans are said to be believers in...

    USA Donald Trump announces 2024 run for president

    Offhand, I'd guess that only if he's convicted of something will it ruin his candidacy. Trump's popularity was on the wane before the rush of activity began on the part of Biden's FBI and Department of Justice, and also State Attorneys General, with the ransacking the ex-president's home...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    THIS is important, why? Cannot an artist represent something in a way that makes a stronger impression on the viewer than in a fashion that's probably more correct but less compelling? Of course. It's done all the time. And a mural is not a catechism. For example, the church in which I grew up...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    There's too much imagining in that lineup, I'd have to say. Sure, we could say that the Bible is all or mostly fiction, or that it's probably been tinkered with, both of which have been argued over the centuries. We "could" do that. However, the reliability of the Bible has stood up to so many...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    Not according to this doctrine. Bear in mind that I wasn't arguing for or against the belief there, but was only 'correcting the record.' Information for its own sake, etc. The Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's conception, not to Jesus's conception. The basis on which the...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's condition, not Jesus's. And, offhand, I don't know of any Christian church that believes Jesus as God incarnate could be inflicted with Original Sin. That would deny the nature of God.

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    Hmmm. But I didn't deny that Christ ate meals (and also served up some to other people) that did not include meat. However, it cannot be that he was everything that you said he was in your post (vegan, example for a lifestyle that didn't include murdering animals). Not if we are to believe the...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism

    He may have studied with the Essenes. We do not know, but it's speculated. However, he's certainly not a vegan or much of an advocate for a lifestyle free from harming other beings in order to "murder" and eat them. Jesus ate fish with his disciples and on many occasions assisted his Apostles...
