[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=74061.msg2963357#msg2963357 date=1224379747]Maybe you need to learn that the Bible was not written in English and it wasn't written in our times. So the meaning of words are not the same.[/quote]Speaking of the meaning of words, check this out:
Matt 16:18- That thou art Peter <Petros>, and upon this rock <petra> I will build my church <ekklesia>; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it . (KJV)

Source: People's New Testament Commentary:


And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. This is the first time Jesus speaks of his church, and here, as not yet founded. Three terms are to be noted: (1) Peter, in the Greek, Petros, meaning a single stone; (2) Rock, in the Greek, Petra, which means the solid, immovable bed-rock, a great mass like a cliff, and (3) church, Greek, ecclesia, those "called out," the fellowship of believers, the organized society of Christ, the kingdom of heaven on earth. There is probably no passage in the word of God that has called forth more discussion.


The Papal church insists that Peter is the rock upon which Christ founded his church. The Catholic position is based upon the fact that "Peter" means "a stone" (see Joh 1:42), and the Savior's language might be rendered, "Thou art a stone, and upon this rock I will build," etc. The Catholic view is untenable, for (1) The Savior does not say, "Thou art a stone, and upon thee I will build," etc., or "Thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build." He changes the word in the Greek from Petros (Peter, a stone) to Petra, a rock, or ledge of rock--a solid bed-rock. (2) Every saint is a stone (see 1Pe 2:5). The Lord declares that Peter is one these living stones, made such by his confession of faith, and ready to be built into the church, the spiritual temple, formed of living stones, and built upon the rock. So is every confessor of Christ.

In order to settle what the Savior does mean by the rock, we must consider Mt 16:18,19 together, and keep in mind the entire figure. This figure portrays (1) a Builder, Christ; (2) a temple to be built, composed of lively stones, the church; (3) a foundation for that temple, the rock; (4) the gates of an unfriendly city or power which shall seek its destruction, hell, or more correctly, Hades, the unseen abode of the dead, the grave; (5) a door-keeper of the church, or spiritual temple, with his keys, Peter. Peter's place in the figure is not that of the foundation, but that of the key-holder, or turnkey. The only difficulty is in settling what the Lord means by the rock. Since this rock is the foundation of the[b] church, the central principle, the fundamental idea, we are aided to a correct decision by the teachings of the Word elsewhere. We learn from 1Co 3:11 "That other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." This excludes Peter or any human platform.[/b] Christ is often called a stone: (1) "the stone that the builders rejected" [Mt 21:42; Mr 12:10; Lu 20:17]; (2) "the chief corner stone" [Eph 2:20]; (3) "the stone that is the head of the corner" [Mt 21:42; Mr 12:10; Lu 20:17; Ac 4:11; 1Pe 2:7]; (4) "the spiritual rock which is Christ" [1Co 10:4]. Faith in Christ held in the heart, and confessed with the lips is the very foundation of the spiritual life and of the church.


This constituted the fundamental difference in apostolic days between Christians and unbelievers, the church and the world. It does still. It is the essence of the teaching of the New Testament that the platform or foundation of the Christian society, the church, is this belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (see Mt 16:16; Joh 6:69). It is then Peter's grand confession, faith in the Spiritual Rock, the faith that lays hold of Christ, belief that he is the Anointed of God, the Divine Savior, that the Lord pronounces the rock upon which he will found his church. That this view is correct is shown by a correct understanding of the declaration.


Selah.

Before nko, no be d same light?

Its good, let them have a taste of their own meal.

Lol
Ehn you too don't clap hard now, just do am small small
And nawa for those people that are looking at you, when its not as if y'all are in sunday school
At the end of the day God looks not on the outward appearance but on the heart.

The one I sometimes get tired of is during slow songs a.k.a worship, when the leader keeps saying "lift up your hands", feels like I;m doing push ups

OLAADEGBU:
I must first of all thank the Lord Almighty for preserving your life.  Glory be to God.

The keeping of the 10 commandments is one of two ways of getting to heaven, and since no one can claim to have kept them all without breaking at least one (Rom.3:23) especially on how our Lord Jesus has properly interpreted it, that leaves us with the other alternative which is by faith in the atoning blood of Christ alone who was able to keep all of them because He is God.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.  Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph.2:8-9

Thanks, insightful.

Lol lol lol

As long as you keep trying to rationalize God you will never believe that He exists!

OLAADEGBU:
I thank God for how the Lord has used Ray Comfort and Kirk to make the decalogue alive and relevant.  Revealing how the Master Jesus Christ used it to by pass the intellectual arguements and[b] striking at the conscience to bring the message home.

I agree with the emboldened but their notion that breaking any of the commandments automatically disqualifies one from heaven is IMO condemnation.

Of course everyone knows God is the one behind all healings. But I have never seen or heard Him heal without the agency of a man
or a prophet. Or have you?

That man does not have to be a 'Man of God'!!!

Hey guys, you can now watch BBA LIVE anywhere in the world!!!

BUT there's no audio and it's only the garden!!

It took Mary's "yes" to bring our salvation to the world just as it took Eve's "No" to bring our condemnation. Eve was disobedient, Mary had to undo that disobedience, by obeying the will of God for her.

1Cor. 15:21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22[b]For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. [/b]

People will distrust these statements, and their fears will lead to a revolution at the polls.

So Obama has won, right?

My people I dey hail una o!

Abeg helep me thank Baba God, I was in an accident on Tuesday but God is merciful, and Nigerians are perhaps the most caring people on earth.

I was actually overspeeding and lost control but God still had mercy. Did a 360 and ended up in the bush, there were no trees in that area!!! No cars were coming or going (1 way) except an okada man behind me that helped mobilize people to pull out the car because the area is quite remote. If our leaders were as sensitive as those local people were, this country would be much better.

And moreover like 1 min before the spin I wound down the windows, who knows maybe the shrubs would have shattered the glass in my face (I couldnt open the door to tell u how tall nd thick they were), or the car would have flipped because there would have been more wind-resistance.

Its been quite traumatic over the past few days but God is my strength.

God is Good!!!!

<chips in>

Jesus honoured Mary because in the same bible, He tells us to honor our father and mother that it may be well with us.

He would be a liar and a hypocrite for dishonoring Mary.

It doesnt translate into anything spectacular.

I sometimes wonder why Mary is never mentioned in all the epistles, when her memory was still so fresh. That's significant.

It depends on which distractions you are looking at.

What if their minds are flying all over the place because they find the Pastor 'boring'?

Lerato Sengadi sent a message to the members of Big Brother Africa 3, let the bitching begin!!!!!

Subject: hey,

hey ya'll,

firstly i'd like to thank every single one of you for joining & contributing to this group, i've been having a super time and i'm sure everybody else has too.

i have to appologise to every1 who reads my weekly blog on TVSA. i have not been able to write for a while now and i have recieved tons of mails from people wanting to know why.

the reason is that i have been travelling quiet a bit over the past few weeks and i haven't been able to watch the show, thus not being able to write. i don't believe in getting second info on what i write about so if i didn't see it myself then i wont write about it.

But this group is where i get my daily dose of updates on what i've missed.

So to all my blog readers - sorry once more and i'm hoping the hectic schedual will decreae soon so i can go back to writing my "Bitchfest", lol.

Be cool.

Hallelujah holla back

Guys apparently,

Luke was a Doctor, an educated Doctor

But Peter and John had little or no education.

All three of them were disciples of Jesus

and He never assessed or judged or condemned them by their educational qualifications.

So I think that sitting there and drawing conclusions

on either sides of the argument

is not the wisest thing to do.

Personally, I think a degree is an added advantage for a Pastor.

It is not against the will of God for anybody to be educated, Pastor or no Pastor.

And come to think of it, I know a lot of people are against tithing, 'illegal' offerings, donations and seeds. So if the Pastors are not supposed to put food on the table by these unjust means, wouldn't it be better if they had something else doing, something that would require a degree?? Just a second thought.
