Understanding the BIBLE is not by 1or2 verses But hast to be done as using the whole BIBLE . WE haft to use the whole BIBLE to under stand it .
Yes. But the Bible also can not contradict itself if it does we need to realign our interpretation so the Bible is in unity

If not mistaken it is written in Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me"

And it is written in Mark 10:14 "But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:

And again it is written in Luke 18:16, "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not"

Of course in the above referenced passages he was speaking to his disciples who were rebuking the parents of the children whom had brought them to touch him. But then again all little children can do in their folly is to touch the Word because they wouldn't have known how to read.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 1 John 1:1



Do you believe God is omnipresent?
Matthew 18:3-6
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

you are just miss understanding Paul , what For in Revelation tell us that His people are keeping the commandments & have the faith of JESUS . in 2 or 3 places . Do you think that God would tell us to keep them when it is not posable . that would NOT be a just GOD , But HE is JUST .
Well, at least our theology isn't inspired by some people hanging out at a flea market but by years of diligently searching the Scriptures to see if these things are true. (Acts 17:11)

No I have Never been a catholic . I believe that out of HER came most of our false doctrines that has went out to all the world . I grewed in a Baptist belief . But I preyed for knowledge one night , & the next morning I meet some of GODs people at a flea market that has open my eyes to a lot of false doctrine that came out of the catholic Church that the Baptist Has . But the BIBLE says in revelation that it would go out to the whole world .& it HAS . But I PRAISE GOD for that appointment HE set up for me to meat them . GOD BLESS you & all as HE sees FIT for HE knows what we need . & not what we just want.:)
Your post #124 is quite reflective of Rome.

You can build an idol out of iron and say it gives salvation or you can tell the Lord you obey all the law so you earn salvation: it amounts to the same thing. Neither will give salvation. What is so puzzling and hurtful is to say that obeying the Lord best we can can't be done without making it the same as making it a way to gain salvation. Neither idols or obedience works to gain salvation.

Christ lived as a man, and lived without sin. Christ was successful in living sin free, something we can't attain, and that was not His reason for living this way.

Paul goes into great detail in Romans to answer the question of whether we should sin to experience grace and Paul says we should not.

The only way to get salvation is ,believing JESUS died on the cross in our place , & being converted .

And the way to achieve death is to sin without going to Christ. So what do you think Christ wants us to do about our sin? We are forgiven sinless beings after Christ cleanses us, what now?

I don't know what you mean really .:confused:
Here is what you said...
We really Don't have eternal life until we endure unto the END .OR till JESUS come BACK. GOD BLESS AS HE SEES FIT .
That is exactly what the Roman Catholics would teach, robbing us of our assurance.

Nothing is wrong going to swap meets to pick up tools. It just isn't the best place to p/u theology. Scripture is your better source.
