Mee234: he help in translating the book to what his people understood. He did not add anything just show people around him that salvation is by grace and not by paying penance

I will" partially" agree with you that he did not add to the bible rather he removed from it, so in a general sense, he altered the bible.

bizmahn: This thread is another desperate attempt by the roman catholics to set aside or relegate the relevance of the bible so they can have ultimate excuse for the additions of man made hellbound heretic doctrines like Purgatory &Mary idolization, & praying to the dead saints etc
.
Common sense tells anyone that during the time of the apostles Jesus who was with them and taught them before his ascension had clearly showed them by his life & teachings the christian pattern which they needed to pen down into scriptures by the inspiration of the holy Ghost (which God sent them in tongues of fire) for generations unborn who never met Jesus or the apostles face to face to read and understand the pattern of knowing & living a christlike life.
.
These writings by the grace of God where compiled in the new testament bible.There has never been any generation where God didn't send prophets or provide a means for people to know the laid out pattern of serving God and living right & God always required these prophets in the old & new to write down what He showed or taught them as a pattern for others.Hence a compilation or these writings formed the scriptures or the bible which we and generations unborn need in order to know the laid out pattern & follow it since we never met Christ or His apostles physically.
.
Shame to any so called Christian group that seek to undermine the bible in order to add their own doctrines.Remove the bible and anyone can create doctrine based on what is pleasant to his flesh whether it be gay practice or pedophelia.Remove the bible and native juju priests,occultists,traditionalists,homosex'uals,others religions will no longer be wrong because they also have doctrines too.If you tell them God says they are wrong,they'll tell you God says they are right.Why? because you have no scripture to back it up.

At least the Catholics are more truthful than you. Nobody is undermining the importance of the bible but that wouldn't stop us from bring to the knowledge of those who want to know the truth the fact that the bible is not all you need to be a christian but Jesus.

If in every generation old and new, God send prophets and instruct them to write down his teachings like you said, then one can confidently argue that the bible is incomplete yet since there are still prophets in the word today preaching God's massage therefore there is every possibility that Generations to come might find their teachings today worthy of being scripture.

Syncan: Just for you Vicky, If there is a Queen in Heaven, then she is the true Queen of heaven simple. Any Idol with the title King of Heaven, cannot take away the fact that our God is the true King of Heaven. Even in our dialects, some titles we give God are what our ancestors call their gods at the earlier times, before Christianity.

You are afraid of Queen of Heaven..., read the below from a "Christian".

"Yahweh is not the author of confusion (I Corinthians 14:33), but what translators have done to Yahweh’s name is enough to make most peoples’ heads spin! Think about it! They took out His name (Yahweh), replaced it with a title (the LORD), then took the name of a false idol (God) and inserted that name as a title for Yahweh, but most people in our society commonly regard that title as actually being His name, because they know the title that has been substituted for His name (the LORD) is clearly just that: a title! Is your head spinning yet? When most people read the words “the LORD God” in their Bibles, they perceive “the LORD” as being simply a title, not recognizing it as being a substitution of His name, and the word "God" to them represents His name, even though “God” is rendered as a translation of the Hebrew title “Elohim.” To make their cover-up complete, the translators removed all evidence of there having been a heathen deity named “God.” The result: Millions of people today sincerely, yet wrongly, believe our Creator’s name is “God.” Confusion abounds"!

*Sighs*

And here comes the feast again!!!

FrancisTony: Roman 9vs23.
Therefore it was necessary that the cophes of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
DOES IT EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF PURGATORY?

Bro you might also want to read this up, it's a bit long but it's worth your time.

Be thou exalted oh Lord.

chidima: Am here oh. Having issues with my phone. I see the devil tried to sow his seed here. its good we ignored. May God strengthen us today and may we never stop flying to the patronage of so loving a Mother Mary.

God bless us all.

Welcome dear sister.

POPE II: Italo and Sal C good morning , hope you guys had a wonderful night.
@,Sal C did your babies bother you in the night?

Thank God your are among us .

My dear am cool, and no they didn't bother me.
Lolz

Good morning brethren i can see you all woke up with smiles. Thank God for that

Hope this did not come late.

I suggest he name it
Sacred Dayspring international church of Christ and Melchizedek incorporation.

Rich4god: You never sleep... Make una introduce me into the secret night vigil wey una dey do.

Lolz... You are already part of it.

POPE II: I don't want to be confrontational, but I do not agree with you , I mean I like your spirit and mindset but we must be able to defend our faith and interests .God himself asked us to do so

Ah Ah I actually understand you, but like I said, we don't necessarily need a Catholic mod in order to uphold our faith.
If anyone in authority ignores doing the right thing because he's biased, then let it be between him and God, this is a matter of someone's spirituality, not a joke.
So please let it slide for now I beg of you.

POPE II: how are my people doing?

Doing great!!!

Methinks she will also be a good actress.

vickyO: The Bible helps you in your walk with God. it's not about carrying it all around, but by studying it daily.
the early Christians studied the scriptures o.
Paul and Peter quoted from it in the book of Acts.
Jesus quoted from it.
Phillip explained it to the Ethiopian Eunuch.

If you study the bible for years without living a Christ-like life, quote me any where, by the virtues of the meaning of the name christian, you are not a christian.

I am not implying that one should not study the bible.

[quote author=Demain_man]Didn't Isaiah also predict the birth of Jesus by this same Mary, even before the name of Mary was mentioned in the New Testament... ?


Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Isaiah 9:6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.[/quote]I noticed some people cherry pick the old testament writings, it is only true when it helps them prove themselves but whenever it does not, it became written by someone who has lived and died before anything in the new testament happened, and so cannot be referring to anything in the new testament.

amyg: .

I hail sister.

Two mites which make a farthing

2 copper coins.

idnoble135: Then why this?

Though i am not the op and cannot say what he has in mind, but i think what he meant is this.....
There are some teachings and instructions which though they are in the bible(especially the old testament) they are not meant for christians today.

Therefore a christian is not obligated to abide by them and the authenticity of his christianity should not be judged based on such principles.

This did not in anyway do away with the central theme of christianity and/or the bible.

aManFromMars: Hi Sal, how body?

Bros me body dey inside cloth. We thank God.

idnoble135: And who is the central theme of the Bible?

The same person who is the central theme of christianity.
