    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    Scripture is inerrant, but human interpretation isn't.

    1Tim 6:20 and Acts 17:11 as a basis of Scriptural guidance

    Take another look at the 1 Timothy passage again. Paul isn't condemning science, but what is falsely called science. True science can't contradict the faith because God ordered the universe. True science merely studies that order.

    Eager to Criticize

    I personally live by the belief that we cannot know what is in someone's heart, therefore, we cannot judge their soul. However, actions, in and of themselves, can be judged as right or wrong, good or bad, separately from the motivations of the person committing them.

    The new thread

    Two things to take into consideration here (highlighting not just an understanding of translation, but of sociological issues involved). In the times of the OT (and probably still today) among the Jews, adopted children were seen as equally a part of lineage as biological children. Jewish...

    Hello and blessings, I am concerned about the reasoning behind the closing of a thread I...

    Hello and blessings, I am concerned about the reasoning behind the closing of a thread I started regarding the possibility of Mary being able to intercede for us. Nowhere in my post did I refer to or quote RCC doctrine. I even went so far as to quote scripture from a Bible translation that...

    The Crucifix Cross

    Mike, I'm not quoting from RCC doctrine, I'm quoting from the Bible. The only reason the words "Roman Catholic" appeared in my response is because that's the name of the person who made a post that was being referred to. If we're going to discuss Christian truth, we cannot dismiss something...

    The Crucifix Cross

    By the way, your use of 1 Timothy 2:5 ignores 1 Timothy 2:1.

    The Crucifix Cross

    It's not merely a "technicality". As for starting a new thread, I'll be happy to, but you were the one to start this discussion by taking issue with a clarification Roman Catholic made.

    Is This a Christian Position

    A romantically involved couple living together outside of marriage would put them in the near occasion of sin and under serious temptation. They're seriously playing with fire. Bad idea.

    The Crucifix Cross

    God's gift What you're missing is that "intercede" and "mediate" are terms with different meanings and not interchangeable.

    The Crucifix Cross

    Re: The Catholic Cross Please reread what you responded to: intercede:to act or interpose in behalf of someone in difficulty or trouble, as by pleading or petition

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    You still cannot reconcile your position with Philippians 2:12.

    Desire for a girlfriend, am I following Christ? Should I let go?

    Fisscher, I felt that same desperation for girlfriend/future wife when I was your age. I let that feeling drive me toward pursuing what I wanted and lose sight of what God wanted for me. I ended up getting married for all the wrong reasons to someone who also got married for all the wrong...

    I desperately need some advice very badly

    Riniel It does sound like he hasn't actually healed from his first marriage if he's pushing the relationship that fast right off the bat. You're right to break it off because his mindset, at this point, isn't where it would need to be for a healthy relationship let alone a marriage. As for...

    I desperately need some advice very badly

    I wouldn't let this part necessarily be a red flag. Having been through divorce, I've seen the system up close and personal. The mother automatically has preference for custody and the only time a father gets custody is if the mother willingly allows it or is deemed unfit (which is extremely...

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    You failed to respond to the majority of the point I made, and only took that which fit your message. Is that how you approach the Bible?

    "Faith without works is dead".............lets get the scripture right.

    I've never understood the "either/or" stance on the subject of faith and works when the only way to reconcile the different passages of scripture about this subject, is to take a "both/and" approach.

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    If it does there wouldn't be so many different denominations of Christianity.

    What are the main differences between Lutherans and Catholics?

    Before I begin, let me say for the record, that I am not here to argue what the Church teaches. I am only posting to correct misunderstandings and misrepresentations regarding official Church teachings and practices. If someone wants to take issue with the Catholic Church, they should at least...

    The gift of tongues.

    For greater understanding of the gift of tongues given at Pentecost, try reading it in light of Genesis chpt 11 (The Tower of Babel)
