    two Sabbaths that week..

    Jonah did not die in the whale's belly, did he? Despite his prayer referencing 'sheol' he was not in fact in the world of the dead but in a whale's belly.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Josiah, The Catholic perspective is that "transubstantiation" is an apt description in the terms of Aristotle's philosophical distinctions (it is noteworthy that Aristotle was a Greek and hence an 'easterner' in today's ancient churches parlance) between substances and accidents (meaning what...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Yet baptism with water washes away sins and the cross of Christ redeems the faithful so the bread & wine of holy communion feed the faithful with the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    What is Bethel ???

    Perhaps they are (we are) compared to the apostles but do you think every Christian in the first century was as busy and effective as the apostles?

    seems more like a reference to the story of Jonah than something important to prove Jesus' identity and/or qualifications.

    The Official Chat Thread - Part 2

    I can't recall thinking of you as an Englishman :) It explains the nature of our communications, similar cultures (though far from the same) ... I find it easier to chat with Canadians too probably because of similar cultural commonalities.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    The cross in jewellery and art has symbolic meaning but the cross in the gospels and other documents of the new covenant is not symbolic. And baptism really does wash away sins and bring about the birth from above as well as incorporate a person into Christ as a member of his body. Communion is...

    Slain in the spirit

    If it took until the 1970s for being slain in the spirit to become popular and very little evidence of it happening before the 1970s except as the more mundane swooning that happened in some 'revivals' during the 19th century and 18th century maybe it is a natural response rather than some kind...

    Justified by works ...

    I ask you to stop and ask folk who say they believe in eternal security of the believer if works play any role in salvation and then tell us here, back in CH, what responses you receive.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    The host and the precious blood are the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ yet sacramentally so thus the appearance and properties of bread and wine remain and the miracle is more of hearing and believing than of seeing and believing. For a truth faith is more of hearing and believing than...

    Pastors

    Blaming God for a chap's really bad theology is how a chap gains followers provided the chap is sufficiently persuasive - in a confidence trickster sort of way. That is why so many groups start when their leader says "God hath said such and such and this is the message of our times, a sign of...

    It's not proof, Matthew 12:39-40 And answering, he said to them: "An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

    Surely "for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (NASB) is simile, right?
