Why does it have to be one or the other?  Why not just follow His leading and advice as you converse with Him?

Is this subject a debate?

Never preach to them after he said it was done on the Cross, he sent Philip to them. 

Jesus Christ preach the Gospel to those the disciples could not be sent to preach , the dead, to all the people who had died before him , including Abel, the first to die and Adam the first man.

JESUS CHRIST preach 

In the place of the dead.

JESUS CHRIST died for all, everyone must hear the Gospel and be judge according to the Gospel.  

 

Well, Philip can't make it today. Now what? 

It goes to a picture arrived at in imagery reading the scripture itself. 

Be real. 

How many of us live up to what we list?

This is a really appropriate addition to this talk.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

That was Jesus the cornerstone laying the foundation for his church. Jesus spake unto all who were there. That would include the women.

Peter is not only part of the church, is the first one who preach the Gospel. No one preach the Gospel before him. 

In a way, that the door in Heaven was open and Peter.invited the people to enter into the Heavenl y inheritance. As we are sited in heavenly places together with Jesus Christ. The church of JESUS CHRIST here on earth. 

You do not have any Scriptures to support this , because they are not any. 

That what I believe 

That's what I believe.

I said Peter is the foundation, because JESUS CHRIST said , upon this rock I will build my church. 

We understand that Peter is the first to build upon the rock of JESUS CHRIST

 Jesus Christ pick him to be the first. 

The rock of JESUS CHRIST church. 

I did not say that Peter shed the blood of the new covenant, the blood for the forgiveness of sins. 

 

No one preached the gospel before Peter? 
Jesus Christ was born to deliver the gospel to the world. Which included Peter at the beginning.

It is impossible, the RCC overcame the Antichrist, they kept the blood of the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

The believe that Jesus Christ died had to die, and rein in Heaven, not that he went to Heaven at the moment of his death, no of course not. 

But at the ansention after his triumphant resurrection and his victories over Hades and Death. 

I have the Keys of Hades and Death, I close and no one opens, I open and no one closes. 

The Antichrist does not rain in the RCC, and what you suggest it is impossible to happen. 

And Jesus Christ has his plans for the RCC, and his plans are good. 

The RCC is under the blood of Jesus Christ . 

The blood of the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

 

What is the crux of the Antichrist parable? Not antichrist but the Antichrist. 

What if the RCC is that? When I read your first sentence I read this first; The RCCbecame the Antichrist, they kept the blood of the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

Does that about sum up the Antichrist prophecy? I ask because I don't get much into Eschatology.

If you go to an evangelical church in America, you’ve probably heard Bethel’s music. This means that your church is paying royalties to Bethel Church and their artists which directly supports their ministries. Songs like This is Amazing Grace by Phil Wickham and Love Came Down by Bizzy B are popular songs you’d probably recognize from your modern worship service. While being able to rightly refer to this music as “worship” is questionable, at best, one thing is for certain–their music supports the church that backs them. And that church is Bethel Church in Redding, California.

Bethel Church is a New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) church pastored by the “Apostle,” Bill Johnson. Bethel Church is a hothouse for serious theological error and heresy. Bill Johnson and his associates are advocates of the heresy known as Word of Faith (WoF), which teaches that through your words you have the ability to access the power of your faith or your fears–that is, your words have power. It is then taught that this power can be used to funnel material wealth and health into your life.

Bethel Church is a highly charismatic church that is known for its manifestations of false signs and wonders. Manufactured glory clouds, speaking (babbling) in tongues, and false prophecies–all attributed to the work of the Holy Spirit–are regular occurrences at its gatherings. Bethel church also practices necromancy through a bizarre practice known as “grave sucking” (or “soaking”), in which they believe that they can suck the “anointing” out of a deceased person’s body by lying on his grave. Johnson’s wife and “Pastor” of Bethel church has been known to practice this abomination.

Jesus said "If any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book".

Jesus also said "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

And elsewhere, Jesus says, "whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."

Again, Paul says , "we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us."
 

Osas supporters. Thoughts with regards to this?

Yes, and no. 

Yes, those who are in the grace of God are there eternally and irrevocably. 
No, not everyone who claims to be a Christian are in that grace.

Yes salvation pertains to the individual, but saying that denominations are not of God is Christ like, why? Because they truly are not of God, plain and simple, there is no scripture that shows to form a denomination, and when denomination like things are mentioned, Christ never said anything good about them, such as the Pharisees, Sadducees, and yes I know they had weird doctrines, but then there is one of the seven churches which started off well, but went into deep error to were they made a name for themselves, but were dead.

Christ is the foundation and the only foundation, if you want to defend other things that is you, but I will stand for the foundation and that is it, irregardless to one being saved in a denominational circle or not.

We should defend Christ, and not the flesh, or ways of the flesh.

 

Which denomination did Jesus found? He was a Jew.

To understand the Catholic and Protestant Bibles we must know what books the Biblical authors considered important and divinely inspired during the time they wrote the biblical manuscripts. Books outside the traditional 66 have been mentioned in the Bible in three different ways: by name, quotation, or alluded too. So what books did the biblical authors consider important? Here is a list:

1) The Book of Jasher

2) The Annals of Jehu

3) The Treatise of the book of Kings

4) The book of Records, Book of Chronicans of Ahasuerus

5) The Acts of Solomon

6) The Sayings of Hozai

7) The Chronicles of David

8) The Book of Wars of the Lord

9)The Chronicals of Samuel, Nathan, Gad

10) Samuels Book

11) The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite

12) The Treatise of the Prophet Iddo

13) The Book of Enoch

Both OT and NT writers of the Bible considered the Book of Enoch to be divinely inspired, and it is included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible which is actually 88 books.

If a book is mentioned, quoted, or alluded to is it worthy of study if it expands the understanding of the Bible and why Jesus Christ came to earth? The theory of the book of Enoch is that it was written prior to the book of Genesis and then before that was kept through verbal oral tradition. Our earliest manuscripts date to the 2nd to 3rd centuries BC but scholars believe this is not the original date of the Enochian canon. The first century Christians considered the book of Enoch as inspired canon if not authentic.

Thoughts?

I haven't read the apocrypha at any length. I do know that Jesus did refer to Enoch in his teachings as did Paul. 

I happened on this Blog and wanted to get more experienced Christians opinions. Jesus Without Baggage

Does the blogger have a point? Is this actually scripturally correct? If so why? If not why not? I look forward to our sharing together. 

Let's remember our calling and keep this something that Jesus would be proud of.

The Disciples asked Jesus "How should we pray?" Jesus responded:

^"9 Pray then like this:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name
¹⁰ Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread,
¹² and forgive us our debts (transgressions, sins),
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³ And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil. [Some manuscripts add, For Thine is Power, Kingdom, and Glory Forever and Ever Amen]" (Matthew 6:9-13).

Question, is the prayer in of itself to be prayed as it is word for word, or is it a list where you insert your personal prayers, for example instead of "Give me my daily bread, you say Lord help me pay the bills and put food on table, forgive my debts or transgressions, list them specifically," or is it model for prayers? That each line represents aspects of prayer, Saying who God is, Praise, Requests, Forgiveness for Sins, Safety in Temptation, and protection from Evil Powers.

I think the part where it states,give us this day our daily bread, is referring to that which we need to sustain ourselves this day. And that could include, money to pay the bills, put food on the table, a great health report. 

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:20

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."  Luke 18:16-17

Jesus forgives us out sins, we just have to learn how to stop sinning. It's a mind, body, spirit process. 

How do you define sin for yourself as a believer?

Don't the Alligators and snakes become very upset when their domain is shrinking? 

Comey wasn't fit to remain director and Donald Trump knew this. Now it is more of the same carping against Trump because he's a Republican and he's Donald Trump. With the performance James Comey gave during the inquiry into Hillary last year I would hope not even he is surprised he's out. He was clearly following orders, doing that very poorly and looking foolish in the process, and in that regard gave the impression that the FBI couldn't be trusted when the head was so clearly a liar about legal discrepancies and abuses by one Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

That's a Calvinist instruction isn't it? The Total Depravity part of his five points outlined and defined in the acronym of TULIP? 

I pray that all goes well. Please update us. Holding you in prayers CJen.
