"James, The papacy is a system just as the roman emperors were a system. The system has deceived its faithful. The emperors were not gods. The popes are not gods. Claims made by and about the papacy do meet the test for the Antichrist. The early…"

Spirit Led VS Emotions

Many Christians quote, "don't be led by your emotions, be led by the spirit". How do you separate the two? Keep Galatians 5 in mind!

Do You "Know" Jesus?

Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Maurice Edwards on Wednesday. 12 Replies

Inspired by my last discussion. We're called by the gospel to believe in and on the Lord Jesus. We're called "believers". But many Christians claim to "know" Jesus. Elaborate!
