@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay It matters little if there were real golden plates or not. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay The reason I'm exposing the false teachings of the LDS church is so that you will know the truth and trust in the true Jesus who is not the spirit brother of Lucifer, who is the uncreated creator that creat...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay But their witness doesn't hold water if they later left the faith, rejected Joseph Smith, only saw them in a vision (that's not an eye witness). They are not like the apostles who all died for proclaiming t...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay I never left the LDS church. I have had LDS missionaries come to my house for a few years and I knew two local bishops who lived in my area. Nice people. I was never LDS. I'm sure you can check in your book...

@ModChristChurch @PeterNDecker @sister_slay They claimed that they did and some claimed to have seen them, but several claimed to have seen them only in a vision or supernaturally...and I think 8 of them left the church! If this was such an important...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay Hm. But they all see and touch the physical plates? The apostles died for claiming they saw the resurrected Christ... did any of these eye witnesses die for what they claimed to be fact? Didn't a number o...

@Reneechop @sparkobuzzer No. I’m simply taking the text as fully inspired in eve

@Reneechop Note that Paul also says that an entire church consisting of men and women can be deceived like Eve. Yes, men can be deceived too. What causes one to be deceived and another not to? Paul tells us the reason in 1Ti 2:13⎯ ”For it was Adam...

@HeagneyBrian @StothersRyan I quote Jesus lots…just not in the context of church

@iheartJ37 @Pastor_Gabe @jerryzz2 That may be part of it, but I don’t think that “good reputation” meant that people didn’t think the church leader was crazy or has lost their minds or that sort of thing. So I don’t think he meant that the world acce...

@watotochurch There's no battle of wills if both are serving the best interests

@ladies4pd This is an interesting hypothesis (from the Orthodox Church, I presume), but I don’t see anything in scripture tying kephale with the mind, the intellect, the brain or anything like that. While I might agree with you that the emotions and ...

@oliverburdick Just a tip—Catholic means universal. You mean the Roman Catholic

@GrownInFaith @churchtalkative Not does it say he shouldn’t…yet there is Eph 5:2

@ncksmith I don’t see women “mimicking the church” as if men aren’t also the bride of Christ—they are. Paul calls husbands to imitate Christ and wives to submit as they do to Christ, but this isn’t rigid role coding. Paul isn’t saying husbands don’t ...

@ncksmith That’s great! We are all the bride—men too. And as the church submits

@ncksmith Yes, but it’s not because of the system. God defined the marriage and the church as a one flesh source relationship so we would see and treat one another rightly. That’s the ‘why’ that’s often missing here. When a leader sees himself as the...

No pastor, elder, overseer, apostle, deacon, prophet, or father is ever called head (kephalē) in the NT. If head simply means authority or boss, why is kephalē never used for any leader in the church? Why is a father never called the kephalē of hi...

@SonOfManXY @smashbaals In a marriage, man is the head of his wife and Christ is the head of His church, both are one flesh relationships and the basis for marriage had Eve made from Adam’s flesh and bone and Jesus provide life to His church. But he...

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals Preaching isn’t what was done in the church but what was done out in the crowds. The church is meant to use its gifts for the mutual edification of each other. Church today doesn’t look like the church in the NT, but not ...

@DennyBurk @TomBuck Baptists have a wide range of things that each church does differently. That’s because baptists are self governed. These differences are not primary which is why they can co-operate. Why do you think you have to force your underst...

@AndrewD82566840 @smashbaals Yes because no pastor is called the head of the church except Christ. The church doesn’t have many heads, only one. A head in scripture and in the contexts we are referring to doesn’t mean the authority over or boss of. I...
