Seems we have another troll attempting to control the conversation with repititious redundency and irrelevant non-sequiturs.
It isn't difficult to understand. It is difficult to overcome! Only by making restrictive "definitions" can we overcome the TRUTH of Scripture.
There is NOTHING in Scripture that tells us to meet in a gilt house on Sundays to eat bread and drink wine...
Oft = when!
Cults try to dominate by inference and restriction....
Romans 8: ... 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Certainly! And, certainly there is nothing that adds, "Have a guy in a pointy hat with a fancy bathrobe say some magic words over a biscuit and wine and it will BECOME My body and blood." Where does Rome get this? Unbelievable that they have morphed His simple words into their "sacrament to confer grace".
And, yes, Rom. 8...there is freedom from the chains of Rome...there is life in the Son.
It is not appropriate to call a fellow freeper a troll. I have been a freeper for twice as long as WVKayaker. If WVKayaker wants to take issue with something I have said, that is what the religion forum is for, but name calling is not acceptable here.
