A lot of us are convinced that Holy Spirit guided Luther in a lot of respects.

Thankfully.

Paul was talking cultural norms. The most important part of what he said was But in the final analysis, if anyone one wanted to be contentious... It was not an apostolic or church custom

Luke 4:23

Our women pray covered; yours don't.

1 Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."

Unless 'their women' are bald, you are in error.

2 Colossians 16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
= = =

INDEED! More Biblical balance, logic and sanity on such matters. Wonderful. Thanks.

Praise God.

It can get deep and stinky about such nonsense.

Suggesting that Paul spent 282 words on nothing is the mark of false prophets.

If you'll read Paul closely you'll note that he states being contentious isn't a Christian custom.

So i suppose in the previous sentance where Paul states men should pray uncovered or dishonor God he means men should shave their heads?

Once again we see how silly protestant twisting is when we read all 282 words Paul said on the matter rather than 1 sentance thrown out to try to steal the flock away from God's commandments.

Hello Timer,


Yes Jesus did talk about stones and or rocks and said that He would be a "stumblingstone" in end times. He'll be that stumblingstone as many will believe the false one, who comes first (at the 6th trump, 6th seal and 6th vial) is the True Jesus. They'll follow the fake unknowingly because they haven't been taught or read God's warning about that very event.

I like your analogy of the stone being thrown into a scrap pile. Another thing to consider with the stone is that the pyramid doesn't have it's capstone. Could it be waiting until the 2nd advent?

The scripture you quoted of "Upon this ROCK(Peter)will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it", I have studied lately. I always assumed that Peter was the rock but learned that isn't so. Matt.16:18

"And I say also unto thee, that thou are Peter, and upon
this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it"

Peter, Petros, does mean rock, stone but he was loose and movable. When He stated "upon this" it was very emphatic, as though pointing to Himself. Christ was the foundation, the builder, not Peter. He was the foundation stone and the rejected stone. (Companion Bible)

I thought it was an interesting lesson and pass it on to you to see what you think about it.

I have another belief about the 70AD destruction of the
temple. As the wailing wall still stands there are still some stones upon another so I don't think this was what Jesus referred to. The chapters that contain this teaching (Luke 21, Matthew 24 and Mark 13) are all about the end times. That is the subject being carried forward so when He speaks of "no stone left upon another" He refers to the destruction of Jerusalem at the end of days.

I didn't know about the cornerstone recently being laid. That is so interesting but how in the world did they accomplish this? Your earthquake information was interesting too. I know that Biblically there will be a huge shaking so it looks like things are really lining themselves up for that event doesn't it? As you say, "God bulldozing the Islamic temple" and won't we all shout for joy.

I really enjoyed your telling of the meeting you had with Haddasa Ben Ito, acting justice of the Israeli Supreme Court. That was quite an honor and I'm glad to hear there were no AK 47's.

Thank you for telling me about all of this Timer and I look forward to your next post.

i'm hardly being contentious

that would be suggesting that your church must change which isn't what i'm doing at all.

i'm saying that your church is filled with non-Christian inspired by something other than God and should be avoided; so as to warn any who might be swayed by such anti-Christian teachings.

Who's judging anyone here?

Just like the wolves would be expected to say

the church of Satan preaches the exact same thing; beleive what you think benefits you; self above all else.

I rather like it, after all when Jesus was preaching, some said he had a devil.

paraphrasing your comments is hardly judging you.

dicerning false teachings and groups which advocate false teachings is crucial to protecting Christianity from wolves trying to steal away the faithful; its hardly anything personal or judgemental.

And Paul said that true prophets would concur that St Paul's teachnings are the commandments of God.

What about the pope's hat then, he's always got it on when he prays?

It seems that Rome has a Pope Haberdashery on every corner:

in all these protestant preachers who perform 'miracles' only to be exposed as frauds stealing money from naive folks.

I'll be waiting a long time to see that documented! LOL. What a brazen assertion based on no evidence! Yeah, some charlatans have done that. Some good guys got excessive and corrupted--JUST LIKE a LOT of popes and other spiritual leaders in virtually every denomination around the world through the ages. Must be dealing with humans.

But millions of nobodies in prayer circles all around the planet have been channels of Holy Spirit's healing and other miraculous moves. And they haven't taken a Chinese fen from anyone.

Try again. That rings as hollow as a Buddhist gong.
