Hi Don, the earliest authentically Rosicrucianism writings come from the 17th century. Luther was born in the late 15th Century and, although he lived a relatively long life for someone who so many in power were trying to murder, he didn't live that long ? As far as what Rosicrucians believe...

Hi Levi (LeviR), those are great examples that seem, at least to me, to support the church's understanding/teaching about what the Bible normally means by "the flesh". These are, in point of fact, some of the verses/passages that the church (her pastors/theologians/etc., that is) turns to...

Hello again Levi, if that's really true, that the church's understanding of what "the flesh" is in this case is wrong, then we do indeed have a problem ? So, please elaborate a bit on this for us by giving us a couple of Biblical examples that show us the Scriptural conflicts/contradictions...

Hello Walter and Debbie (WalterandDebbie), I had forgotten about making this thread last year, so first off, thank you for finding it and posting to it :woot That passage from 2 Corinthians, though not a typical go-to passage for assurance (and practical ways of obtaining it...

Hello LeviR et al, our body's flesh is not sinful, nor is dirt for that matter. In fact, when dirt does what it is supposed to do (which it always does ?) it not only is not sinful, it is holy (in a very real sense) because it's doing exactly what God made it to do. The Gnostics and several...

Hello Levi, I'm not sure who you are agreeing with about that ? (as I literally know of no one who does, nor of any church, not even at the farthest reaches of the pale of Christian orthodoxy). That said, why do 'you' believe this about Him? What led you to this conclusion, IOW? Thanks ? Also...

Hello Hawkman, from someone at "Ask Ligonier", here is the answer to your question. That's an excellent question, and it's one that has been asked by many throughout the history of the church. The term "sinful nature" is often used to describe the condition of humanity after the fall of Adam...

Hi Hawkman, that is an excellent question. Thank you for pointing it out. Once fallen, he and our first mother became something that they had never been before, sinners, but that's not how God created them (so saying that they had a sinful "nature" wouldn't be true, unless there is another...

The Bible has a LOT to say about demons and their leader, especially in the NT. Also, the Lord Jesus Himself talks both about them (the demons and Satan) and to them, and they address Him by Name and Title, and they often talk back to Him, as well. Also, on a number of different occasions in the...

Hello Enlightenedtruth, every human being is actually a fallen angel? Why do you believe that/what is the basis for your belief? Thanks :) Can you link me to it? Also, the Bible has pretty much to say about origins, including how we all came to be standing on this earth and living in the...

Cont................ SATAN FALLEN ANGELS HAVE A LEADER One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. JOB 1:6 Satan, leader of the fallen angels, comes like them into full view only in the New Testament. His name means “adversary” (opponent of...

I believe that "demons" are fallen angels. Here are a couple of short articles concerning both them and their leader. DEMONS GOD HAS SUPERNATURAL OPPONENTS They sacrificed to demons, which are not God—gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear...

Hello chongjasmine, I have a number of favorites among the Psalms, but if I have to pick just one, the following Psalm is it ? Praise for the LORD’S Mercies. A Psalm of David. Psalm 103 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy...

You mean 2,000 years ago in the Iron Age when the best we could do to communicate with one another was grunt ? In answer to your question (above), we needn't go back 2,000 years, because we didn't have any of those things 200 years ago (and personal computers and smartphones weren't available...

Here's a short article about witchcraft that may be of interest, as well several more that are linked at the bottom of the page (there is also a video with the same text): https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-witchcraft.html

Justification - a 7 min audio/podcast and its transcript .

Hello DoaWK1992, I agree with all of the assessments above. The blog author's rant that you posited for us is made up of lies (in the form of half-truths, deceptions and misunderstandings) in an attempt to make Christianity look like a horrible religion and, therefore, a horrible choice for...
