@residentreformr @sola_chad So the church existed at the time of King David? Because back then—even as now—not all who were descended from Israel belong to Israel.

@NowRope @4res44444444 @churchtalkative Your opinion is not backed up by 1Ti 2:12 because you failed to take this passage in its context. Paul is writing to Timothy so that he would remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach strange do...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I don’t think the idea that the husband is the head of the wife is cultural, because Paul connects it directly with Christ as the head of His bride, the church, and with Adam as the head of his wife ...

@DanielT46640724 @BishopJaxi Well, the fact is that the church is the body of Christ, not a wafer (properly bread that is broken) which is symbolic of his body broken for us. We eat in remembrance of Him, not to have Him inside us. He doesn’t leave u...

@DanielT46640724 @BertinMbokish @SocietyOfStChad @BishopJaxi Jesus is not bread just like He is not a door. The Levitical priesthood does not continue into the NT church. Fulfilling the law doesn’t mean that the sacrificial system continues. It sto...

@Here4Now0829 Nice catch on Judas! Indeed the word used is the same as in 1Ti 3:1 and Tit 1:7, though this was before the church. However, from this you could infer that all of the 12 apostles were overseers (and thus elders). However, that you had ...

@orthobilly Scripture is the standard, not post-apostolic church fathers. And Paul clearly warns Gentile believers not to be arrogant toward Israel (Ro 11:18). He affirms that “God has not rejected His people” (Ro 11:1) and foretells that “all Israel...
