Here's confessions (of rampant idolatry in the rcc practices) by priest(s), definitions AND examples from Scripture, and definitions from Roman Catholic Priests all for casual reading: https://www.google.com/search?q=charles+chiniquoy+catholicism+idolatry&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

So many people have no idea how popular demons are - and/or how widespread and how much they directly influence in society.

Yes, obviously a misconception. Thanks for verifying that. But no, (just noticed) not at all like me and others: when I and the holy people with me praise Jesus and talk with Him, no one dead is present. None of the holy ones with me practice idolatry either. So again, no , it (idolatry) is nothing at all like us who are holy in Christ Jesus.

This is true. If , also, they DID have a two way conversation with Jesus, and with ABBA YHWH, they would not ever have NOR even think of having a ONE WAY conversation with anyone they thought was dead.

He didn't.

Good points in your post. Stick with reality. Truth. For instance, Did Adam and Havah love YHWH ? Joshua, Elijah, Moses, Abraham, Noah ? See ? Real true people , who probably never in their life thought YHWH would send His Son to die for them. Did they love YHWH ?

This is true all over the world. The sources are often (and their families, friends and neighbors and church) targeted(for harm/ death/ harassment) , just like a political figure and their family is targeted, when they are a public figure, especially Christians.

Yes, at that moment. Pre-existence of people or of JESUS (JESUS IS ETERNAL FOREVER, not "pre-existent as the teaching goes), is complete with heresy/ other beliefs / totally contrary to GOD'S WORD and opposed to JESUS. The Jews/ Hebrews/ Believers believed all along, no doubt, no question, that GOD gives life, a GIFT, at the moment of conception. This is in line with, and in harmony with, all of GOD'S WORD, unlike those heresies that have many errors.

Ooops - consider instead - 12 robed men with Bob - "However, if he is asked to give a beef brisket to the robed man with... Bob" Not "something" - "the robed man with Bob" is a person, a man, robed. "the robed man with Bob" could be any of the twelve. Likewise "a robed man with Bob" , could be any of those robed, with Bob... Your concern is noted - and the solution/ the answer/ the revelation/ is with GOD.

Oh oh.... double check what JESUS told...(rebuked) , when Peter tried to get JESUS to invoke "Plan B".... JESUS was gravely serious about that ...

Without capital letters, suppose 12 men who are holy , born again of GOD, given a new and holy spirit (their own spirit) by the FATHER, and someone asked a messenger to give a beef brisket (or a fish) to the robed man with the holy spirit, "the" does not then separate one of the twelve from the others - it does not identify one of them "specifically" different or apart from the others.

As someone posted, it is easier, many times, because they use clear, concise SCRIPTURE and stick with SCRIPTURE more than the oft repeated traditions of men. e.g. so they are much more reliable, SCRIPTURALLY, than other sources that do not rely on SCRIPTURE. Some things "MIGHT" turn up in error, on purpose or by 'accident', on got questions, but they are tested and proven every day by hundreds or thousands of BIBLE BELIEVERS. So it's uncommon to find an error. It is NOT a stand-alone authority by any means (I do not know if they claim to be; I don't think so), but they stand on the authority of the SCRIPTURES, the WORD OF GOD, as GOD has revealed to men. (instead of standing on man's ways of thinking, and instead of man's traditions which contradict GOD and HIS WORD.)

What if the Jewish/ Hebrew calendar is right ? (expected to be) Nisan 14 - Hope of Israel Ministries www.hope-of-israel.org/nisan14p.htm The 14th of Nisan is the day when the Jews put leavening out of their homes, as YEHOVAH God commanded, so they could celebrate the seven days of ...

What if HE did not move the bar ? (HE is no respecter of persons) HE is perfectly just, righteous and faithful as well as merciful and forgiving.... OR DID HE DROP THE BAR ? On Ananias and Saphira ? They lied. They died. What was the difference - why weren't they forgiven and told "go and sin no more" like the adulterous woman ? Or the ones at Corinth who sinned - members of the assembly.... many got sick and died for their sin in Corinth. Why? Or the tower in Siloam, why did it fall on them ? They perished. Jesus told HIS listeners they all would perish also, unless ... ... ... ... ..

No one said a believer and an unbeliever should separate/divorce. (as long as it is the first union (one flesh) for both of them.) .... the prayers and hope is always that the unbeliever will turn to GOD and be saved.

As with any sin, they are living in continual sin if they do not repent. That's the point. No where does GOD'S WORD say to ban anyone who has repented of their sin, and is not living in sin without repenting.

They are living in continual sin if they do not repent. That's the whole point.

It has nothing to do with that. That's an a different situation entirely.

Since GOD is the JUDGE, do what GOD says. HE does not tell people they cannot be married until their first spouse dies, , and then put them together anyway before then. That is a severe contradiction.

It is not up to me. It is not man's solution. (the way of men seems right, but the end thereof is the way of death). You just quoted the solution in your post. The soluton GOD provided for men to be restored to HIM. True repentance. (JESUS died to make this even possible) "Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that appears to be right, but ... There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."

As JESUS said, the road to life is narrow, and few are there who find it. Some translations may say "painful", or "strict" or similar. It is not , however, ever popular. (i.e. most people never join)

This is most difficult, but the pastors who lead GOD'S assembly look for true repentance - they must separate and remain separated until it is possible to be together without being sinful. (if ever) IF there is repentance , everyone is forgiven and can have pure clean fellowship again (and go and sin no more).

God does not leave the decision up to men. He said clearly what to do. If they do not obey GOD'S instruction (which is very specific) then the whole assembly is impure, disobedient, and their testimony has no power to help anyone heal or be saved. Read in GOD'S WORD, WHY the wickedness (the sin) , is to be removed , and WHY the goal is not condemnation at all, but so that the one put out will repent and be clean/ forgiven. Think about this - if the administration allows sin to continue growing in the assembly, where there once was light, becomes darkness.
