Does 1Pet 5:13 confirm the Catholic Claim that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome?

The potentially embarrassing elements of the Gospels are a significant part of their historicity

feeds@yuku.com (Sid2) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 06:41:48 GMT

Historians take note of potentially embarrassing elements found in historical documents. Why? Because those who are writing true history don't normally include things that might turn their face red. If you are embellishing something, you leave all that stuff out!

This is why the potentially embarrassing elements of the Gospels are a significant part of their historicity. Notice these accounts from the Gospel of Mark taken from Gregory Boyd and Paul Rhodes Eddy in their...

The Rapture

feeds@yuku.com (NMOCM) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 22:54:51 GMT

What do you all see as the biblical evidence that the Rapture is going to happen? I'm not seeing it in my reading of the Bible, but I'd rather let you try to explain it than to guess at where the idea comes from.

Is Matthew 24:37-42 about the Rapture or the Second Coming?

Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things. We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true. Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem,...

2 Peter 1:20-21 and Private Interpretation of Scripture

feeds@yuku.com (Sid2) — Fri, 29 May 2009 11:28:43 GMT

Do not cite 2 Peter 1:20-21 against the Protestant principle of private interpretation of Scripture. St. Peter explains, in the preceding verses, that the Apostles did not invent their claims about the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, but saw it first hand when He revealed it to them in the Transfiguration. He then exhorts his readers to heed the

My children, I am writing this to you
so that you may not commit sin.
But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous one.
He is expiation for our sins,
and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep
his commandments.
Those who say, "I know him," but do not keep his...

But if we reject the literal method of interpretation . . .

But if we reject the literal method of interpretation as the universal rule for the interpretation of all prophecies, how are we to interpret them? Well, of course, there are many passages in prophecy that were meant to be taken literally.

In fact a good working rule to follow is that the literal...

"By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;
"And that He was buried,...

The re-birth of Water, part of being born again

feeds@yuku.com (Bro Steve Winter) — Sun, 04 May 2008 09:13:57 GMT

I hope to herein expose one of the filthiest lies that false preachers are teaching these days. If I seem emotional, it's just that I hate to see people so deceived. In John 3:5, Jesus told a full grown man that he needed to be born again of a spiritual birth which consisted of water and spirit...(notice two distinct elements WATER and SPIRIT)..

Satan has many misinformed, and some knowingly deceiving false preachers that teach that the "birth of the water" refers to...

All churches claim to have salvation, but what does the Bible say?

feeds@yuku.com (Bro Steve Winter) — Sat, 03 May 2008 22:51:48 GMT

Salvation. All churches claim to have it, but if we look at what they are teaching we see that many of them have starkly different requirements for salvation. Can two groups of people saying opposite things both be right? If two groups are teaching opposite things then at least one and possibly both of them are wrong. What is a person to do to secure true Biblical salvation?

I believe that the safest path would be to simply obey what the Apostles preached and practiced, to obey...

THE LOGIC OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION
by Cornelius R. Stam

In I Cor. 1:22 we are told that "the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom." This is doubtless why God chose Paul, with his profound intellectual background and acumen, to proclaim "Christ crucified," the "wisdom of God" as well as the "power of God" (I Cor. 1:23,24).

Paul was a gifted logician as well as a theologian, and nowhere is this more evident than in...
