It applies to whether someone is a part of a church, which is what the thread is about. Worship is a side issue someone brought up, but not unimportant.

Yes, but it takes at least 2 others to hold you accountable, according to Matthew 18:16 — But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. I don't understand what you're getting at with your comment...

Did I mention a place? I mentioned a congregation...something that involves multiple people. There's certainly no problem worshipping God by yourself, but there is something wrong with never worshipping with other believers. There's a group that is currently active at any point in time. It...

I hate to put myself at complete (g)odds with Augustine and Calvin, recognizing that I won't be perfect in my theology either. My point was that to have communion, two beings need to share some of the same space, at least in some way. God walked in the garden with Adam and Eve. An eagle would...

What if worshipping Him in spirit includes being a part of a congregation, including learning to get along with each other even when we don't agree about something? We aren't really saved individually, but only in Christ. Obviously there will be exceptions, like the thief on the cross who was...

I think that's the right answer, but if being a part of the body of Christ is what saves us, and we have the opportunity to do so but choose not to, are we really a part of that body?

Of course. But who actually became a man after being something else for all eternity past? Probably. It's hard to imagine God making a bottom-dwelling sea creature to have communion with, say, an eagle. Yep...I've certainly seen that.

Yet His scriptures describe changes in His plans for people and nations in some cases, and scripture says these things are in response to what that person/nation does/did. That's mainly bluster on your part, since we're both trying to understand not so much about what God hasn't revealed, but...

Shouldn't Paul have then said, "there is no such thing as baptism, if the dead are not raised"? If the baptism being addressed is purely the baptism of the Holy Spirit, then that baptism would be of no account at all, and therefore God would not waste His time. This speaks powerfully that the...

@ffreeloader I'd like to give you my story. I was intrigued about the idea of alkalinizing ones body/blood stream, mainly because I've dealt with gout for over a decade. Gout is usually described as being caused by too much uric acid. So after I read ffreeloader's post, I decided to try Baking...

That's what he was talking about...man-caused global warming. Haven't you seen all that stuff we've been doing to the sun?

That's how California was when I lived there, too, in the 80's

I don't want to interject something that's unwarranted or making light of their deaths, but both of those gentlemen on CF were vaccinated.

“Pfizer & Moderna in 2022 had combined C-19 vaccine revenues in US of $11.5 billion so… For every $1 dollar they made it cost the US economy $13 dollars." I wonder if that number includes what the govt paid for the vaccine research and buying the product...

Maybe part of the coalition's goal should be to stop the vax mandates and pressures.

This banner was up on CF yesterday or day before: Announcing Some Sad News: It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved Chaplain, drstevej, and a wonderful moderator, mnorian, passed away. mnorian passed on March 17th, and drstevej passed on March 26th. . drstevej joined CF...

Glad you're still with us!

Or the hate of vapers/non-vapers, for that matter.

What I'd like to know is, why is more hateful to murder someone because of a perceived difference than just murdering someone.

Why not?
