The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.

Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams

I'm not an historian, but Reggie is a Bill Clinton.

According to your profile you are celebrating your one month anniversary on Free Republic today.

Can there be a bigger lie?  And I "invent" things?  What do you call this?  Go, check out my profile...

[tHe AnTiLiB]

Oh my dear Lord. Where did you hear that Mary was considered part of the Trinity. This is nothing but a sickening rumor. What do you mean, ADDED? Yeah, big bad Catholics, altered Louis DeMontfort's writings and no one knew about.<:-(

[tHe AnTiLiB]

Are you to judge? Are you a prophet, able to tell the nature of people in years to come?

[tHe AnTiLiB]

Jesus wasn't around when the scriptures were written by the "Father?"

Well, to me.

These were exhortations to "The Churches." On that at least we must agree.

So what is a Church? A community of Believers. People who have individually come to Christ. Now according to OSAS. These people must have already been saved, right? Once and for always? So what is it that they still needed to overcome?

Morning, antilib. Glad you are reading your bible. What scripture are you finding this in ? CD

OR - "According to your profile you are celebrating your one month anniversary on Free Republic today."

Um... It says April 7th, 2003. I guess "one month and one day" is not "one month", but it's hardly a lie.

Oh my dear Lord. Where did you hear that Mary was considered part of the Trinity.

Had you been around here a little longer you would have been able to see my tongue in my cheek. It was a supportive post. Mary is not part of the Trinity (Besides, it would have to be "Quadrinity" unless she bumps the HS).

You must have missed the "< /sarcasm>" on the tag line?

There is no doubt our works will be judged. We have all stated that. Rather you agree with this or not do you understand what we are saying: We believe there will be a judgement of believers. All believers are saved, their works will be tried by fire, any works that survive the test will be rewarded. 1 Cor. 3:11-15 lays this out as plain as the nose on your face.

The lost will be judged at the end of the 1000 yr reign of Christ. This is called the Great White Throne Judgement. Everyone at this judgement is lost. They will be shown where their name was erased out of the book of life, then cast into the lake of fire.

The letters to the church in Rev. are to written to churches not individuals. They should be read in that context. Some of the people individually would be saved, but the church themselves my end up in destruction because as a whole it was not doing what it should.

Morning Cindy,

From what you say, I would look for a horse at least 10, Quarter HOrse. Try the boarding stables around. Get in touch with some horse people.

We ran into a lady fromt the church we were attending last yr. She homeschools her children. They are studying about horses. So she asked if her and 2 other mothers with a total of 10 kids could come out today and see a horse. I have to tell them about the different parts of a horse, saddle, and ride for them. Then some of them will probably want to get on. This could be fun:) City kids around horses is always interesting. The first time the horse poops they always go into hysterics:) I have done this before for groups. Pray for me:)

Tell me, how does one tell if another is preaching a message other than christ preached unless a judgement is made about what is being said.. Not possible. Pretty well screws your misinterpretation doesn't it. Quite. And one need not be a prophet to rightly call blasphemy for what it is. One seems to need be Catholic to protest when blasphemy is pointed out lest the conviction of it be too noticeable. Cower and throw your irrational statements.. Doesn't change what scripture says nor does it make the paradox of your statements any less obvious.

Are you getting musical on us Right:)?

How's your baby? Is she sleeping much at night? Sorry about this, but I can't remember, what did you name her?

It says those who "overcome" will eat the tree of life.

Thus those who overcome will recieve Eternal Life

And therefore those who do not overcome will not recieve Eternal Life.

Can we agree on this?

Mack, did Becky see my post about buying a used horse?

Simply go to the nearest thoroughbred track and check out the horses. Many, if not most of the races at your average track are "claiming races." That means that a price tag is automatically set upon any of the horses running in an individual race. You may need to affiliate with one of the trainers registered at the track to get him or her to do the actual claim, but it could be as simple as that.

Say you buy a whole life policy at age 35, death benefit $100.000 after paying a premium of $1,300 for 20 years you have $35,400 cash value, you die at age 55, you would think your family would get 135,400 right? Wrong! Your family only gets face value $100.000 Where did that 35,400 go? In their pockets. If ya borrow it before your dead, they take it out of the face value and your family gets $64,600. Its sucks

That can't be right. When there are dividend payments on the whole life, they are used to buy more coverage. So the face value of $100,000 would increase. That's the way I understand it.

Dave you too can have more that one egg in your basket. What if the people who manage your 401k lose?

I'm the people who manage my 401k. I have a wide variety of mutual funds and such that I can choose to place my money into, or move my money around from. Ranging from aggressive funds to funds entirely based on guaranteed bond income.

Can you give me the book, chatper, and verse please? I like to read the the before and after parts to get the context. Thanks.

Possibly someday you younger people will have the same blessing, and you’ll see how easy the burden is, and just how light the load. Mt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

The problem is that you don't believe this at all. Rather you believe that the yoke is gone and the burden is non-existent. Can't you even see that the idea of "yoke" and "burden" are descriptions of work?
