DoctorAlien: wrong again... like ubenedictus just pointed out... Jesus talks about killing the body but not killing the soul... if they are inseparable, how can someone kill the body but not the soul?? see mat 10:28 My earlier questions still stand... waiting for your answer |

italo: "But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother...?" Matt. 12:48 "For whosoever shall do will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my ... mother" Matt. 12:50 "...My mother and brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it." Luke 8:21 So, why are you not worshiping all the good women in the NT, and indeed every woman that does GOD's will, because Jesus calls them His mother? 2 Likes |

Ubenedictus: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteouness:" 2 Tim. 3:16 When Paul says "scriptures", he refers to the Hebrew Bible(the law, the prophets and the psalms, which is essentially the OT). Paul says that even the OT alone is sufficient for doctrine and instruction in righteousness. You get it? So all those nonsense sirach and maccabees and tobith and whatnot are neither profitable for doctrine, nor for instruction in righteousness. 2 Likes |

DoctorAlien: Even though, I do not want to be drawn into your argument, can you please interpret this: Mark 12:26–27 26 But concerning the dead, that they nrise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.” Pls combine it with what happened at the Mount of Transfiguration. What did Jesus say they were mistaken about? 1 Like |
Re: Were The Early Christians Roman Catholics? by Ubenedictus(m): 9:57am On Apr 24, 2017 |
DoctorAlien:Actually you make a mistake when u assume that the word soul is always use to mean 1 thing, actually soul and spirit means several things depending on d context. 1. dead bodY 2. Any living creature 3. life 4. breath 5. that which is undistroyed after death. 6. wind 7.... It is used to refer to more than 1 thing, |

shadeyinka: Jesus was telling the Jews that in the eyes of GOD, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are as good and living in GOD's eyes, because they are destined for the first resurrection which is for the holy and blessed.(Rev. 20) Bear in mind that part of Jesus' audience then were the Saduccees, who did not believe in the resurrection. So, Jesus effectually dealt a blow to their incorrect beliefs by telling that Abraham will live again. 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: Wrong again " Jesus said HE IS GOD OF THE LIVING, (Present tense) NOT OF THE DEAD, NOT THAT HE WILL BE GOD OF THE LIVING AT THE RESURRECTION, OYA RELATE IT TO THE TRANSFIGURATION WHERE WE ACTUALLY SEE MOSES AND ELIJAH WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SOUL SLEEP 1 Like |
Re: Were The Early Christians Roman Catholics? by DoctorAlien(m): 10:08am On Apr 24, 2017 |
shadeyinka, On the mount of transfiguration, Moses and Elijah were present. Moses was resurrected by Jesus and taken to Heaven(Jude 9). Elijah was taken alive to Heaven. They came down from Heaven to that mount of transfiguration. I wouldn't like to bore you but remember that Revelations 13:8 calls Jesus the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. But we know that Jesus was slain about 4000 years into the creation of the world. So in essence, anything that must surely take place is seen as done already in GOD's eyes. That is why Jesus calls Abraham, Isaac and Jacob "living". 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: Twisting scripture again... Jude 9 doesn't mention Jesus or resurrection, it only says the DEVIL was Contending with MICHAEL for the "body" of Moses... no resurrection is mentioned, no Jesus is mentioned no heaven is mentioned, stop saying what is not there jude1: 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” |

While the transfiguration doesn’t directly give us information on the state of the dead, it retains theological significance nonetheless. When Peter recounted his experience in 2 Peter 1:16–18, he writes that he witnessed Christ’s coming at that time. In other words, he understood the experience to represent the return of Jesus Christ. Moses and Elijah represent the two classes of God’s people who will be present at that miraculous event: Moses represents the “dead in Christ” who rise to new life, and Elijah represents “those who are alive and remain” who will be translated to heaven and eternal life without ever experiencing death in the first place (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Understanding that the transfiguration is a representation of the second coming of Christ also helps us understand Christ’s promise that “some standing here … shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God,” spoken a few days before the transfiguration (Luke 9:27). cc: shadeyinka 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: With respect to the bold, you say Abraham is dead? You talk about the future, Jesus talks about now. Show me where Jesus used the word "will" Matthew 22:31-33 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. Just like the multitude in that time couldn't understand that doctrine, they didn't try to twist it the way most of you do now. Abraham is more alive than you Mr Scripture Twister. 1 Like |

DoctorAlien:Indeed... but the point is Moses who died was present there and not in the grave waiting for the second coming... besides the transfiguration is not the only revelation we have... there's the cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12:1, WITNESSING IS AN ACTIVE THING, WHICH GRAVE DWELLERS CAN'T DO There's also the spirits of just men made perfect IN HEAVEN, at the time Hebrews was written WHICH IS NOT AT THE 2ND COMING... Rev 5:8 has the 24 elders praising God and Offering the prayers of the Saints to God.. UNCONSCIOUS PEOPLE IN THE GRAVE CAN'T DO THAT.. rev 6:9-11, talks about souls of martyrs under God's altar seeking for vengeance?? HOW DID THEY GET THERE SINCE THERE ARE NO SOULS IN HEAVEN, THEY WERE NOT TAKEN UP LIKE ELIJAH, AND HAVE CLEARLY NOT BEING RESURRECTED.. WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWERS |

Ubenedictus: Oga Paul did not quote Greek Scriptures, neither did he quote sirach. Continue deceiving yourself. It is there on Wikipedia for you to read and stop lying. Sirach and all those uninspired books were never part of Hebrew canon. |

DoctorAlien:Matt. 2:16 - Herod's decree of slaying innocent children was prophesied in Wis. 11:7 - slaying the holy innocents. Matt. 6:19-20 - Jesus' statement about laying up for yourselves treasure in heaven follows Sirach 29:11 - lay up your treasure. Matt.. 7:12 - Jesus' golden rule "do unto others" is the converse of Tobit 4:15 - what you hate, do not do to others. Matt. 7:16,20 - Jesus' statement "you will know them by their fruits" follows Sirach 27:6 - the fruit discloses the cultivation. Matt. 9:36 - the people were "like sheep without a shepherd" is same as Judith 11:19 - sheep without a shepherd. jimmyakin.com/deuterocanonical-references-in-the-new-testament |

DoctorAlien: I think a big part of the problem here, and generally in threads like this is that many people are unaware that the bible contains a variety of theologies, and a variety of cosmologies. You run into the problems you do when you think that the bible is coherent all over. It is neither coherence nor cogent. |
Re: Were The Early Christians Roman Catholics? by DoctorAlien(m): 11:30am On Apr 24, 2017 |
Ubenedictus, here is a quote from Wikipedia There are numerous citations of Sirach within the Talmud, even though the book was not ultimately accepted into the Hebrew canon. Continue deceiving yourself. |
Re: Were The Early Christians Roman Catholics? by DoctorAlien(m): 11:33am On Apr 24, 2017 |
PastorAIO: The Bible is actually and objectively coherent all over, and that is what we Bible Christians believe. What is obvious is that some incorrect interpretations which seem to make some portions of the Bible contradict other portions must give way for correct interpretations. 1 Like 2 Shares |

shadeyinka: I couldn't say if the are available online or not. None of that is the point. You said only books that were written by apostles, OR in circulation in their lifetime, .... These books ( to the extent that we can know) fulfil your criteria as much as the gospels. Why would you not accept these books as scripture? May I suggest it is because they are not a part of the tradition that have come down to you via the Catholic Church. 1 Like 1 Share |
