    What or Who is the Church?

    Do you not understand what was written to you...or do you just not want to admit to having been corrected? Help us out here so this issue can be resolved.

    What or Who is the Church?

    Then read it again and notice that my point was an uncomplicated but necessary one: your speculation is not supported by Acts as you have insisted it is. That was the purpose, not the introduction of a rival theory. If there is anything more to say on this particular subject, let's have it be...

    Ukraine war: Russians flee to border

    Maybe, but since we're dealing with the same nation and the same drive on her part to reconstitute the Russian Empire or, perhaps, the Soviet Union... all these encroachments--Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine's eastern territories--would seem to be part of the same story.

    What or Who is the Church?

    Therefore, it is incorrect (and unScriptural) to contend that Christ's church did not exist until the Holy Spirit came upon those who were gathered in the upper room. There's no basis for such a claim. That's your theory, not what we find in Acts 2. That aside, here's an article on the...

    What or Who is the Church?

    "Build" implies something occurring over time. It takes a while to complete any building. And that gets us to what Peter was so famously going to do on Pentecost when he preached to the crowds that had gathered from around the Empire. He preached in the languages each of his hearers understood...

    Ukraine war: Russians flee to border

    Unfortunately, facing the threat early rather than late is impossible with the present situation, since Russia's earlier annexation of parts of Georgia and Ukraine were allowed by the West to go ahead, pretty much unchallenged.

    Church of England

    Because the alleged spouse of Tutu's daughter, who was determined to make an issue of the matter while also saying that she doesn't understand it, chose to call the whole thing just a matter of "homophobia." CNN, et al, liked that. But obviously the church is not afraid of homosexuals since...

    What or Who is the Church?

    OR...it's one of the dozens of other churches that say the same thing about themselves. :rolleyes:

    Ukraine war: Russians flee to border

    It might be more like the WW2 playbook, but that aside, Putin is going for victory regardless of the human cost. He no doubt expected a quick victory earlier in the year, but that didn't happen, so he's now pulling out all the stops, perhaps mainly in order not to lose credibility with China...

    Church of England

    Church of England bars Desmond Tutu's daughter from leading funeral due to gay marriage The church was formed in the first or second century for the same reason as the churches of Jerusalem, Antioch, Rome, and the other ones of that early period were formed--to spread the faith of Jesus Christ...

    What or Who is the Church?

    You mean, I suppose, that you just "didn't get it" or else you prefer to go on using the term incorrectly. Either way, the meaning of the term remains as it has been explained to you. You have a nice day now.

    What or Who is the Church?

    Meaning, I suppose, that you want to give up trying to pass off "Body of Christ" as the topic here instead of "The Church." Nevertheless, "The Church" (aside from particular denominations who use it, capitalized, to refer to themselves in the belief that theirs is the only "real" Christian...

    Self checkout registers

    Well, that's the "rub." Sometimes the process goes smoothly. That encourages you to use the self-check aisle the next time you have only a few items and the other aisles are crammed with people. BUT THEN, something unexpected occurs and there is no way to rectify it short of having some employee...

    What or Who is the Church?

    ...or to a particular congregation or denomination, especially when used without a capitalization as with your usage here. But here you deliberately use a different term, not "the Church," which is what you chose as the subject of your thread here and which you discussed in the Original Post...

    In U.S.A., Will God destroy the righteous with the wicked?

    That's a familiar use of the word, Fritz, but in this case I think the member was making a distinction between "the Church," by which he meant Christians then alive, and the "saints," referring to all the saved whether alive at the time of the Rapture or not. Of course, the conventional use of...

    Self checkout registers

    I feel okay about them, but I'd only use them for six or seven items at the most and none of those that sell by the pound and have to be weighed. My main reservation is that each store has its own brand of machines, so if you're unfamiliar with just one procedure in the check-out process...

    Gay people? Yay or Nay

    I think our new member meant that he is regular at worship, observes the sacraments, believes in all the uniquely Catholic doctrines, etc....while being concerned about the issue he presented to us. To put it another way, he's not unlike millions of other Roman Catholics, although the...

    Gay people? Yay or Nay

    Are we supposed just to affirm what you have already decided is going to be your attitude towards the issue? Here are some red flags that stand in the way of the stance you want us to approve-- 1. It's the gay lobby that has worked hard at reinterpreting Scripture in order to make the claim...

    Out-of-business shopping malls

    That's right. And the suggestion that some stores could be made into lawyers' offices, photographers' studios, beauty parlors, or the like, doesn't seem to work well because the people do not enjoy walking a relatively long distance into and through what looks like a deserted parking deck or...
