Re: Head Coverings Predated Christianity

Tithing wasn’t exclusive to the Hebrews, and the tribes of Israel. We have records in cuneiform ( early Bronze Age ) which speaks of the practice of tithing. Abraham who was late Bronze Age would’ve...

Re: Head Coverings Predated Christianity

The Apostle never says head covering was a local custom. He made it clear that it was a rule kept in all the churches. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that his instructions regarding head coverings apply...

Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice

I love Truth. I know Votivesoul loves Truth. I think you have a bit of a problem here Donny boy. Because you are blurring the line when you say we don’t love Truth. You are making the statement that...

You are as Apostolic as Justin Timberlake.

Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice

Don, all you are doing is pontificating.
You have failed to point out how my rebuttal of your views are incorrect. In your above post all you are doing is griping. You need to prove how I’m wrong,...

Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice

What metaphors are being used in Romans 14, Romans 15, and 1 Corinthians 10:20? The Apostle was being Crystal clear on what he wanted from his elders “stronger“ brethren as they welcomed the new...

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite

You are so correct. It is just what happens when bad examples get a hold of positions of trust and authority. Hence you have a duty to never allow it to happen under your watch. Children and animals...

Re: Head Coverings Predated Christianity

There is an issue with the idea “if Christianity never existed” shouldn’t be employed in an argument. It brings in all sorts of what ifs. But I understand what you are saying. Many items predate...

Amen in Jesus name. You said correctly, the Bible absolutely forbides the adding to and taking away from God's Word. The whole idea that one can Mithratically read something into the text isn't new....

Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice

I know I'm opening another can O worms here, but can you explain to me the "hidden meanings" found in the above verses?

Matthew 15:21-28 is pretty clear, but I can only imagine the ecclesiastical...

Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice

Was Chat GPT supposed to help you defend your argument?

No Bible argument, no seeking help from the Holy Ghost, just Don, and the Internet. You are just silly man.
