    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    It would be good if we'd managed to reach a fact compliant consensus that "church" is neither pagan nor ungodly. Facts can be convincing.

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    What difference does it make who reads some blog article? The facts are as I summarised them. The blog cannot change them. Blogs are not holy scripture.

    What do you need to know to get to heaven?

    Is there a bare minimum of doctrines that one must know, understand, and accept as true in order to please God and get to heaven? As an aside Catholics do not teach that everybody needs to know, understand, and believe some set of doctrines in order to please God and be received into heaven.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Some folk like to feel secure in their belief that they are saved and a lot of them choose to believe doctrines like "eternal security", "perseverance of the saints", and "once saved always saved". Each of the doctrines has a slightly different emphasis. Some will fight mightily to defend their...

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    Alithis, The word ecclesia is present in the Greek text. It has never been removed. The translation of ecclesia as church is not translating another word. church is what ecclesia means. ecclesia is Greek & Latin while church is English. Of course church is borrowed from Greek indirectly. It...

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    Alithis and amadeois , If you are concerned that ecclesia ought to be translated as "assembly" rather than as "church" okay. That's one way to translate it. In English the word "church" means the assembly of the first born enrolled in heaven the body of Christ the assembly of professing...

    An objective look into "the sinners prayer"

    In the Lord's prayer. It says: Matthew 6:9-13 [9] Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy. [10] May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth. [11] Give us this day our life-sustaining bread. [12] And...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    The first century does not have a halo surrounding it. The early centuries of Christian history are important and supply profound teaching from the fathers and from the apostles yet we live 2000 years later and the development of doctrine did not cease when the year 101 AD was reached. I reject...

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    The scriptures do call the people of God both the temple of the Holy Spirit and the house of God so Alithis' claim that it is not the word used by Christ and the apostles is not true. Hebrews 10:19-22 [19] Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of...

    How can Satan take away the daily sacrifice?

    The daily sacrifice was taken away by the representatives of Antiochus III acting on his orders. That happened in the second century BC. Daniel's words appear to be about that event. Daniel 8:11 And even unto the prince of the host it magnified itself] it not only mounted to the stars, but in...

    An objective look into "the sinners prayer"

    The sinner's prayer appears to be okay on the whole. The theology that is behind it for some people is bad theology but the prayer itself seems okay. It says something like this, right? Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and...

    My Choice for President

    With regard to presidential candidates in the USA presidential elections due later this year. It is worth remembering that there are seven things that Jehovah hates and it appears that chief among them is "he who sows dissent among the brethren". Surely the disputes between worldly political...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    It will be helpful if the participants in this thread return to the topic raised in the first post; namely that the unwritten words of God preserved in the Church in her liturgies and in her prayers and in her doctrines are part of the gospel preached by Christ and handed down through the...

    The Catholic Church says it is the Church that Christ established. The Catholic Church also says that the Orthodox Church is also the Church that Christ established but that it is out of communion with the see of Rome.

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    amadeois - I wrote no such thing. I wrote only that the English word church is derived from the Greek word kuriakon [doma] meaning Lord's [house]. This is the second time you've misrepresented what I wrote.
