So really those that are worshipping on a Sunday are wrong? They are wasting their time?

It is written that we dont have to set a day aside for worship? Really?

Hi NickAre you suggesting that Sunday worship is acceptable? Or are you saying there is no need to set a day aside for worship because we love God?I dont understand where you are coming from my friendHugsPhoenix

Hi DavidQuote No one is ever disfellowshiped for not sticking around. People are disfellowshiped when they unrepentantly sin, an action that protects the congregation and helps the sinner to see the seriousness of their actions. This was practiced by the earliest Christians.So, are you saying that I can go to a Jehovah Witness and get baptized…[Read more]

Hi NickMy point was.. and I think it was Philips intention too… that people are constantly seeking grace. You go to a church and you dont find grace but ungrace. And this is so true. You will find that people who are feeling bad about their sins wont go to church because they have this wild imagination that they will only be judged more rather…[Read more]

Huh? He was talking to his disciples then wasnt he? So, the way I read it… he was saying some of them that were standing there (right there and then) were not going to taste death till they saw the Kingdom of God come with Power.I wonder if he was meaning (preparing them for) the transfiguration.
