I don't need to change it. You do though.
Plenty Christians take it as figurative and don't believe in an actual 'rapture' at all.I believe the scripture that I just quoted. You don't?
1Thess 4:16-18 (AKJV/PCE)(4:16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (4:17) Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (4:18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Well this is fun isn't it?

Yes, just as Paul. As far as practices, what else are we talking about? It is the 'topic' of this thread. I've told you, that you are concerned with matters of the flesh. It is true and you don't realize how much God wants of you. When you married a non-believer, that 'part' of your life is relegated to matters NOT pertaining to God. He cannot have all of you because of it. So as far as matters and actions of the flesh, yes, I'm talking about them but not as pertains to my thought regarding making excuses and ways for the flesh. Why are you trying to turn it around?I married a Christian wife. I am following God's pattern, therefore it isn't a window into my soul. It is the subject matter of this thread and pertains to somebody else's life. Romans 13:14

Omniscient without man's qualification. John 1:3 "Nothing"

Separation of church and State is not atheism"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

Although you're being sarcastic (I think), it's true. Even Eider thinks so.All heretical.
Really, you do, too.
If I am wrong, set me right.
Do you actually believe that any of those churches' doctrine is completely true?

Islam is a Satanic religion. Most of it copies Judaism so it will contain some correct things. My hope for gays is that they turn from homosexuality and turn to Jesus before Judgment.

That's the rub isn't it? Why are there so many different denominations with different teachings?
You're right in that I was being sarcastic...
Well this is fun isn't it?
With mutually exclusive, and opposing teachings - they can't all be right.
That's why I said even Eider would agree that they are all heretical.
So it makes no sense for him to say, "Look at all these churches that teach that homosexuality is wonderful!" if he thinks all those churches have false teachings, anyway.
If they're capable of teaching even one false doctrine, then they aren't the Church founded by Christ, and they have no moral authority over Christ's followers.
Of course. But you don't believe any of those churches teach only true doctrine... right?You're right in that I was being sarcastic...
Woops, didn't even address this...
Because since the start of it, heretics have decided, "Well I don't like that teaching of Christ and His Church. I'll just make up my own."
So, is your definition of 'heresy' anything that isn't Catholic teaching?
Well this is fun isn't it?
Even in the very early church there were differing trains of thought on theological matters, so hey. Sure, they can't all be right on everything but if your assertion is that only the Catholic church is correct then there's even differences of opinion between those who ascribe to that denomination on here.
Well this is fun isn't it?
Materially, yes. Meaning - those beliefs are objectively heretical. As for personal culpability, or what the Church calls formal heresy, it's more of an individual matter.
Yes, that is my assertion.
If by "differing opinion" you mean non-doctrinal matters, then it's inconsequential. If you're saying there are Catholics who knowingly deny a formal doctrine of the Church - then they're heretics.
Well, thanks for clarifying then. You're regarded as just as much of a heretic for your own beliefs but then, it's an easy card to play when embroiled in dogma, whoever thinks they have the 'winning hand'.
Well this is fun isn't it?
