Irene,There is a difference with capitalizing the 'C' in Catholic and not capitalizing the 'c' in catholic. You don't seem to want to recognize that. The capital 'Catholic' indicates the Roman Catholic church, the 'catholic' church indicates the universal church. I suppose if you have only known it in a Catholic church, maybe they capitalized…[Read more]

Quote (Baker @ Nov. 13 2010,20:00)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 14 2010,08:24)Hi All,I find it all “scriptural”, knowing that “catholic” simply meant “universal”.  It still does, but today it doesn't really represent the universal Church of God, but a sect.I would only take issue with #3.  The words they use are “scriptural”, but the meaning is lost i…[Read more]

Hi Mike,Maybe this can be a creed we can all agree on then and bring us some unity here in the 'Believer's' section.

mikeangel,Do you worship Jesus? Is He literally an only Son of God? How do you think the Father and Son and Holy Spirit are one?Thanks,Kathi

theodorej,I was wondering if these 2 Psalms 47 and 48 were Messianic, I will have to look further but I saw a commentary indicating that they are talking about Jesus.Psalm 47God the King of the Earth.For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. 1O (A)clap your hands, all peoples; (B)Shout to God with the voice of joy. 2For…[Read more]

Hi Mike,Thanks for your opinion. I agree, I also think it is all scriptural with the idea of 'universal.' I would like to know what Gene and Kerwin think about it. What Christian denomination would disagree with this that you are aware of?

theodorej,I agree with your statement on Messianic Jewery. I believe the feasts and Messianic prophecies reveal a lot but it still takes eyes to see and ears to hear when studying them. What is your background…Trinitarian? I would like to post something in the worship thread and get your opinion on it.Thanks!

Here is something about the Greek word translated as Catholic:The word Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning “universal”. In the context of Christian ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholichttp://www.google.com/search?….CBsQkAEDerived from a Greek word meaning…[Read more]

Thanks William and Theodorej for responding. I was told that 'holy catholic church' didn't mean The Catholics per say but the Christian church in general.Theodorej, which points are not true in your opinion?

Keith,I don't agree that you or your wife became less human after the birth of your children than before. My husband and I certainly didn't. More tired certainly, but not less human. I don't have much time now…later.

Shimmer,I really don't understand the Bible to say that there will be punishment for the lost for eternity otherwise the lost would have to be given eternal life too just not eternal life in heaven. But I do believe in hell and those who refuse the knowledge and love of Jesus will go there till hell is destroyed. I believe once they are there,…[Read more]

You may have listened Shimmer but you missed the whole message and what God's desire actually is.

Shimmer,Obviously you didn't listen to the broadcast to come away with that opinion.

Keith,When you had your first daughter did your essence divide and leave you with less essence than you had before you had her? Essence is nature and in your case it is human nature. Yes or No, did you have less 'essence' after your daughter was conceived than before she was conceived?

Remember to only mark a choice if you disagree with the Apostle's Creed and only mark the one choice that you disagree with the most. If you agree with the entire creed tell us in a post. If you disagree, tell us, and what other points you disagree with and why.Let's see where this takes us…thanks!

Gene or Kerwin,Can you give an example of a man claiming to having done something before his conception that was written in the active voice in the Greek? Jesus did. Can you give an example of God claiming that the living man did something before his conception that was written in the active voice in the Greek? God claims that the Son did…[Read more]
