"Salvation is based on the forgiveness and mercy of God. If we believe then we will respond in faith. God has given each different abilities (measure of faith) but we are all one body and no one part is any better then the other. "

Frank P. Spinella Jr. replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith"As mentioned, I don't see the context of the body members as adding anything explanatory to the "measure of faith," so I cannot agree that I am taking verse 3 out of context. Nor am I suggesting anything whatsoever about…"
JRKH replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith"Overall I think that this passage is urging people to soberly assess - in faith - what their gifts are and to not get puffed up thinking they are more than they are, or that their gift is greater than that of another etc.
As to your specific…"
JRKH replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"David,
You pasted many quotes but none of them addressed the issues raised by John's letters or satisfied what is necessary to prove that the institution, the system, of the papacy is the antichrist. None of what you posted above is official…"
George Harris replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith"You're the one who pulled the verse out of it's context of differing functions of the body of Christ. Are you suggesting Paul's explanation of "measure of faith" doesn't correspond well with your idea of it?"
JRKH replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"Tyrone,
Thank you for this posting. I completely agree as does the wider Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church addresses some of these things in it's section on "The Church is one" - issues such as blame on…"
Frank P. Spinella Jr. replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith"Nope, doesn't help me. Differing functions of different "members of the body" of Christ don't correspond well with measures of faith, nor answer the question of what measure of faith is the threshold for salvation."
George Harris replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith"If you continue reading Rom 12 then perhaps you may understand what Paul means by "measure of faith" because he explains.
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:" Rom 12:4"

Tyrone Flanagan replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs" Dear James, Phil and David, I think that somebody should start a website devoted to promoting a return to concilliar christianity.

Measuring Faith

Rom. 12:3 urges Christians to sober self-estimates in accordance with the "measure of faith" given them. The Greek here is μέτρον, or measure. Is faith given in different measures to different…Continue

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!

Pentecost has me thinking of Simon Peter’s proclamation that “God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” I wonder how the Jews who were converted that day understood his…Continue
Do You "Know" Jesus?
Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Maurice Edwards on Wednesday. 12 Replies 0 Likes
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!
