    Dictionaries say things like this when defining the word "equal" equal adjective: equal 1. being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value. "add equal amounts of water and flour" synonyms: identical, uniform, alike, like, the same, one and the same, equivalent...

    Equal means various things. Which definition are you using?

    No. The body of Christ has different parts. Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, feet, hands, chest, and so forth. Each has its own role and its own gifts. They are all parts of the same body but they are not the same, they are not equal, they differ but they all need one another to be a body. Paul explains...

    Gift of Tongues

    I agree with the quote above. I read "the Corinthian catastrophe" and I've read other books that critique Charismatic and Pentecostal practices. I've also read books by Pentecostals advocating the "nine gifts of the Spirit" and teaching about them. I've also been a member of a Pentecostal church...

    Isn't that similar to having a friend read for you? :)

    Where does faith come from?

    Josiah, pay careful attention to the phrases and see that not only is it salvation by grace that is the gift but it is also contrasted with works which do not "earn" it. Nobody, least of all Paul, is going to contend that faith earns salvation. Look at the passage without theological goggles...

    Dysphagia 2 food ideas needed

    Hummus is good. You could make Falafel too, though that may be more solid than you'd be happy with.

    Where does faith come from?

    Ephesians can be interpreted as saying that faith is a gift and it can be interpreted as saying that grace is the gift of God and faith is instrumental in achieving salvation. Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once lived, following the course of...

    Where does faith come from?

    It isn't permission. It's stating the obvious; namely that your posts do not deal with facts so further discussion is unprofitable.

    Where does faith come from?

    People say that and it is true insofar as everything is a gift from God, in fact one's life and breath are gifts from God, but the question "where does faith come from?" isn't asking about ultimate sources only is it? It is asking also about immediate causes. And holy scripture answers that...

    Where does faith come from?

    Where does faith come from is the question. How it comes is a different question. :)

    Where does faith come from?

    I do not think that is correct but I do know it is a common opinion in Pentecostal circles.

    Theology thread.

    I cannot speak for others but for myself service in the body of Christ does not mean equality but rather mutual respect for the dignity and value of each person in the body because the body cannot function in any way other than mutual help and respect.

    Where does faith come from?

    Okay, I suppose that reply is a variant on the "silly" one you posted the other time. I am not very worried if you dismiss my posts. Do as you please.

    Where does faith come from?

    It's not a Catholic thing. Honestly. The word "scripture" is not the same as the word "word". In Latin, in Greek, and in English there is a specific word for written communication and a specific word for spoken communication. In English "word" is ambiguous because it is overloaded with meanings...

    Where does faith come from?

    I hear the Word of God quite often, it just is not the same as hearing the bible talking. You know that "scripture" is not the same as "the Word of God" right?

    Violent little chaps weren't they ... at the beginning. It took them a long while to learn that goodness doesn't aim to obliterate the opposition.

    USA Guns, gun control, and rights.

    The second amendment is a given in the USA. So are mass shootings. I think that the two are connected but that does not matter. Is there any way to reduce mass shootings in the USA while still maintaining the second amendment "right to bear arms"? For those who think that restricting...

    Amazon.com is almost fully automated so it employs few people in comparison to brick & mortar retail outlets handling similar amounts of goods.
