Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 17 2010,13:54)So, there are no scriptures against the worship of Jesus as the Son of God.  Nothing in the whole Bible that says that the Father is against worship of His Son.  No reproof is given for those who worship the Son of God in the scriptures and I will not receive  this poor counsel.Kathi, That's just not tr…[Read more]

And georg,Imo, “your house” is the temple where God's glory was said to reside. Jesus was saying , “this temple is empty of God now, and I will be the new temple for the nations”

“Hi Mike,The Bible says to “Believe in God, believe also in me.” Jesus says that He and the Father are one…they are united. Our head is who??? Just Jesus or Jesus and God the Father? Who does the Father say to bow down to? Answer-the Son.”Hi Kathi,Nicks satement is similar to what I asked you a couple of days ago. I said, “The people who…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,I think 1 Cor. 8:5-6 sums it up pretty good. “…yet for us there is only ONE GOD, THE FATHER…..and there is only ONE LORD, JESUS CHRIST…”Paul didn't say one God, the father and son combo. Or the father, son and spirit trio.Clear enough?

Hi Kathi, To back nick up, how about any of the many, many Scriptures that say to worship ONLY Jehovah.

Ca quoted: “So What Did Jesus Mean?Jesus criticized Jewish leaders who love “the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the market places, and being called ‘rabbi’ by men” (Matt. 23:6–7). His admonition here is a response to the Pharisees’ proud hearts and their g.asping after marks of status and prestig…[Read more]

Ca says: “If you ever were a Catholic…which you claim you were, you would know that communicating with someone whether in heaven or earth does NOT constitute worship (latria). Asking a friend on earth something isn't worship. Why does it become worship when you talk to a friend in Heaven?”I believe that the Bible has something to say about…[Read more]

amen, nick

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 15 2010,12:28)Hi Kathi and all,   Kathi, you keep referring to Thomas calling Jesus “my God”.  And we always see reference to Hebrews 1:8, where he is called God by God.  But is that it?  After reading the entire Bible verse for verse, that's what it comes down to for you?First of all, that Jesus would be called God was…[Read more]

And praying to saints?

And what about the father thing, and the Sabbath?

So Catholics aren't the ones who say “Holy Mary, Mother of God”?

Ca,The fact that Catholics (and much of organized religion) think that somehow the priest, bishops, deacons, pastors, or whatever are closer to God than the poor man sitting in the pew is ridiculous to me. Unless, maybe if they are a Levite descendant of Aaron.

Ca,Where in the Bible does it say to worship Mary?What do Catholics call their priests? Father. What does Jesus say? “Don't call anyone on earth father. You have only one Father, in heaven.”Why did Catholics change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? To assimilate the pagan holy day for the Sun God into Christianity.There's many more…[Read more]
