KFC POSTS: Lula, no disrespect but really how come you turn everything into the Eucharist? It does't say any such thing there. This has nothing to do with that. Read the context. This has to do with an offering made TO GOD. KFC, no disrespect taken and no disrespect back to you. Eventually, as you continue to read Holy Scripture and seek truth, you will see that it's really all about the Holy Eucharist for that's what Christ gave us, Hims

SEANCONNERS WRITES: There are also passages in the Gospels that Jesus tells his followers that the end of the World and the 2nd coming will happen in their lifetime, not 100's or 1000's of years from then. 1) Jesus falsely prophesies DIRECTLY to the high priest (Caiphas) that he would live to see his second coming. Jesus uses the term “coming on the clouds of heaven”. This clearly negates the “coming” as the resurrection but as a return to the earth on CLOUDS, not

LULA POSTS: The OT prophecy of Malachais1:11 was fulfilled by the Priests of the New Covenant. KFC POSTS: How so? First, Malachais, whose name signifies "The Angel of the Lord" was contemporary with Nehemias. Some say he is the same person as Esdras. Malachais was the last of the prophets,and lived about 400 years before Christ. The book of Malachais has only 4 chapters. In them, he foretells the coming of Christ, the reprob

KFC POSTS: Yes, We are all called to be priests as in the definition I originally put down. But we are NOT all called to function in the role of Priest/Pastor/Deacon/ etc. There is not even a hint of hierachy in the new church of believers. Christ condemned the Pharisees for putting themselves in those lofty positions and lording over instead of serving the people. Even the HP in the OT had a function to represent the people of Israel. In no way was he conside

KFC POSTS: I don't believe the 70 weeks are fulfilled. I believe that 69 are with the 70th week of Daniel suspended until the coming tribulation. I believe the 7 year trib which is about to come will be the start of the 70th week. The abomination of desolation that Christ spoke of in Matt 24:15 has to do with the Anti Christ declaring himself as God sitting in the yet unbuilt temple, and HE pointed to Daniel's prophecy. So obviously this hasn't happened yet.

KFC POSTS: The 70th week of Daniel is still future. The first 69 weeks have happened. There is a lull (church age) that we are in right now. The 70th week is the beginning of the tribulation period (time of Jacob's trouble...Day of the Lord) and has not happened yet. This is when God will turn back to the Jews and this will happen predicted by Zechariah in the OT: "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jer

MASONM POSTS: "In the holy scriptures you can make no progress unless you have a guide to show you the way .. Yes, MasonM, St.Jerome says it just like it is. I agree with him and try to follow his plain talking advice as best I can.

KFC POSTS: Now those positions you mentioned have different functions but ARE NOT separate from the body. The Apostle John in Rev 1 even called himself a fellow brother or companion. We are all called to do diff functions with the gifts HE has enabled us with. Peter also called himself a fellow shepherd when he addressed the other Pastors. As for the deacons they are chosen by the congregation as per Acts 6:1-5. They also have God given abilities rec

LULAPILGRIM POSTS: What Daniel did not predict and is still in the future is the Second Advent of Christ when He will come again to judge all mankind, the living and the dead. Even from a historical understanding, Daniel’s overall message has been fulfilled. Namely, that God’s spiritual kingdom was established when the Messiah was born during the ancient Roman Empire. Daniel's 70 weeks ended in 67 to 70 AD, by which time the blessings bestowed on Christ’s Church were evident in the wor

Sodaiho, So the practice of Zen Buddhism is all about working the mind, escapism mind games is what I'd call it. And this brings the Zen practicioner boundless joy you say. Boundless joy, wow, that is some description. Is it a boundless joy that comes and goes or is it long-lasting?

SODAIHO POSTS: The author of Daniel had no idea at all that there would be a EU. I've always thought the author of Daniel was Daniel himself. He was so renowned for his wisdom and knowledge that it became a proverb among the Babylonians , “as wise as Daniel”, Ezekiel 28:3. Ezekiel 14 mentions his holiness. Evidently he’s not commonly numbered by the Hebrews among the Prophets, but if we consider his many clear predictions of things to come, we shall find

Our practice, true religious practice, moves us deeply past the constructed reality of these five aggregates and to the reality that resides beneath them.

Mahayana Buddhism (the so-called Greater Vehicle), of which zen is a part, suggests that there is no "nirvana" to "get. Nirvana and samsara are two sides of the same coin. So, our practice is to manifest our True Nature here and now. So, from what you've said so far about Zen, I can only conclude that "manifesting your True Nature here and now" is tantamount to turning (or even denying)reality (or truth for that matter) into illusion having form. <b
