    Did Jesus Really "Descend Into Hell" as stated in the Apostles' Creed?

    It doesn't refer to the "place" of the damned, but most probably to what is called Abraham's Bosom or Paradise, a "place" that was the abode of those persons who would have gone to heaven except that they died before Christ's atoning work on the cross. The Bible translations you cited are...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Of course I'm interested, or else I wouldn't have replied to your post and others dealing with the same subject. But "the church says" isn't really much of an answer when it comes to the truth or fiction of Mary being a perpetual virgin. For that matter also, what difference it would make...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Neither of those has Scriptural support but, yes, we know that the Roman Church can make any stray word found in any Bible book serve as a "Eureka" moment for even the most complicated, inconsistent, and new dogmas it chooses to create. :giggle:

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    The thing to remember there is that when they speak of "Tradition,' they're not speaking about traditions. That is to say, it's not supposed to be some legends or customs or opinions here and there in the past that they are appealing to when making new doctrines which don't have Scriptural...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Different unofficial theories about this matter, as with other ones, have existed at various times in the history of Christianity. But while it is possible that Mary had no other children--AND no sexual relations with anyone--after the birth of Jesus, two facts work against it. 1. The origin of...

    God did not create sex for pleasure

    We understand what your point of view is. However, Jesse Lee Peterson here is just explaining his own theory about something he thinks is implied by the Scripture accounts. On the other hand, we aren't interested in running your private life. That's all there is to say about this, except you...

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    ''For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful… My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place… your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were...

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    So you are saying that there are rare but extenuating circumstances by which an abortion is permissible in order to say the life of the mother-to-be. Agreed. And this is how it is with many other situations in life. We justify speeding in order to get a heart attack victim to the hospital. We...

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    Then what you mean HAS TO BE that you approve of killing a child/fetus when it feels pain. How can that be justified by any Christian?

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    You aren't going to be able to backtrack at this stage of the discussion.

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    Nice dodge. But we still have you on record as knowing that to kill an unborn child after the 25th week would be to torture, cause pain, to that victim of the procedure. Therefore, there is NO justification for it, and yet when asked point-blank about doing so, the apologists supporting...

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    True or not, would this mean that you have no objection to banning elective abortions abortions at 25 weeks??
  13. Albion

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    Then you should have written, "A FEW abortions should be freely available." ...and it's already illegal to torture an animal to death. Of course, that doesn't apply to unborn human children, and lots of people don't see the hypocrisy, strangely enough.

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    If you say so, but I know of course that you are merely denying the verses that you know very well are the proof texts that are almost always cited by people being asked this question. That's why I know that you have simply decided not to believe those parts of the New Testament. If that were...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    Hundreds of millions of other people, almost every Christian denomination, and many centuries of Christian history have had the opposite experience. So why exactly is it that you find yourself thinking there's nothing in Scripture which points to Sunday as being the day that's indicated?? I'm...

    Jesus' I AMs

    That there is only one God isn't the issue. You're right to point out that there are some inconsistencies in the post I replied to. However, this follow-up you've given us doesn't solve the problem because in it you appear to be saying, again, that the Logos is merely the voice of God and...

    Jesus' I AMs

    Your view of the Second Person of the Trinity makes him an appendage of God or one of God's attributes, which is a denial of the Trinity. None of the persona of the Trinity are less than God and simply something owned or operated BY God. And by the way, all three are referred to in Scripture...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    What that reply says is that you are determined not to accept what the Bible says on this point. It cannot be that you were unable to find the New Testament's proof texts and/or any commentary about them. That being the case, there is no point in further banter of the "he said, she said"...

    What is " The plan Of G-d " in your knowledge, in your own experience, and in scripture ?

    I think it begins with us not using disrespectful terms for the Almighty, like "G-d." ;)

    Luther on Baptism

    ...and also isn't something that we do for God. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians have been told that this is what Baptism is all about.
