This is a question I asked some Jehovahs witness' that came to my doorstep. Answer: What do you mean? We have it right here in the Bible. Look!

What they showed me is not the first letter Paul wrote to the Corinthians. In this very letter, Paul reminds the Corinthians that he had already written to them a letter before this one. Read verses 9 and 11 in the folowing passage from Paul's so-called first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 5: 9. In my letter I wrote you to quit mixing in company with fornicators . . . . 11. But now I am writing you to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator . . . . Obviously, in verse 9 above, Paul is referring to what he had written in a previous letter. In verse 11, Paul is making a change to his previous instruction.

Some people will try to convince you that there was no previous letter. But now you know how to demonstrate this truth to such a person. So, now, where is that previous letter?

god/religion believers are you saying you only do good thing and are not confused because you believe in a god/religion?

And if you don’t believe in a god/religion you think you going to do bad things? And you will be confused

"If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube, it would be about the size of an eight room house. If a man got possession of all that gold -- billions of dollars worth -- he could not buy a friend, character, peace of mind, clear conscience or a sense of eternity."

-- Charles F. Bunning

1) Christians assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they quote him in John 14:9: "He that has seen me has seen the Father". Didn't Jesus clearly say that people have never seen God, as it says in John 5:37: "And the father himself which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?

2) If Moses wrote the first books of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.

3) Why do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal mission when he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the Canaanite woman who asked him to heal her daughter from demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel" and also said: "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.

I have more but please answer these first. thanks.

Of whom a man(of child/man) is overcome,
of the same is he brought in bond-age: 2Peter 2:19

Grace: view from above: the mission
Law: views from be-low: sub-mission

servants(slaves, prophets) and children differ nothing
both know nots have to be told: what to do and don't

So, the higher exhortations are:
- be no more children(get tossed to<-->fro by law<-->law)
- thou art no more a servant(slave), but above a servant: Son

she has a been a Christian for years. She says her dead brother spoke to her and told her that she has things to do on this earth. I have always known her to be an extremely honest person I do believe she had this experience.

My sincere question is this.........What do Christians and non Christians think of this experience? and please say why you believe what you do.

Think about this very carefully before you answer.
And the second part of the question:
Why are these not practiced?
I would really like to know & I would appreciate it, if you could do this without quoting Scripture, because that doesn't mean anything to me.
I just want to know, WHY?

Too be saved, you must accept Jesus Christ into your life and repent of your sins. Thats the only way to become a Christian. Now if you believe there isn't a savior, how could you say you ever was forgiven and made a christian? The fact you dont believe you was ever saved, means you never was a Christian, right?

Im trying too look at this, from a logical point, I know I didnt say it very well. Forgive me. 8)

The man who is absolutely certain in his beliefs, and goes through life without questioning things....

Or,

The man who goes through life constantly questioning everything, because he feels he cannot be certain of anything regarding religion?

The Roman Catholic Church through history approached her faith life with the clarification of language. That is, she translated the essentials of revealed faith into the vocabulary of living language.

To the revealed Word that there is "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" the Church labeled the belief "Trinity."
To the revealed Word that the "Son of God became man" the Church labeled the belief "Incarnation."
To the revealed Word that the "blood of Christ spilled on Calvary saved us" the Church labeled the belief "Redemption."
To the revealed Word that "my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink" the Church labeled the belief "Transubstantiation."
Transubstantiation reflects Roman Catholic faith in the literalness of the words of the Bible.

Jesus (omnipotent God) said: "This is my body; this is my blood." And again Jesus said: "I am the bread of life;" "My flesh is true food; my blood is true drink;" "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood ...;" etc.

Roman Catholics take Jesus at His word: the bread is his body; the wine is his blood.

From the Apostles at the Last Supper until today, the bread and wine of Eucharist looks and feels and tastes like bread and wine in the eating and drinking.

Similar to all of God's Word, faith is essential. Faith in what? In the words of Jesus even though the bread does not look, feel, taste like flesh; even though the wine does not look, feel, taste like blood.

Medieval philosophers and theologians sought simply to label this simple biblical faith: Jesus said that bread is his body and wine is his blood even though it did not appear to change into visible flesh and blood.

Transubstantiation means the substance part of the bread and wine elements changes; but the accidental parts--sight, taste, smell, touch--do not. Catholics believe that since Jesus said it and He is God, he can do it. They believe! "Transubstantiation" merely labels it.

In everyday life, it is not at all uncommon to believe in things man cannot perceive by the senses: wind, electricity, love, peace, etc. All the more when Jesus says it.
