The Narrow Path Ministries

Jim, could you give us some Scriptures that support the "ancient way" as you describe it? That might provide a little more clarity, and a basis for some discussion. Scripture would be nice, but do you agree that to understand the scriptures a person must put it in its full context? Here is some exc...

Which path do you take concerning the understanding of Rememberance, Via Moderna (modern way) or Via Antiqua (ancient way)? The modern way, which emerged during the time of the enlightenment and reformation is to Remember something by recalling an event, a simple memorial. The Ancient way, that whic...

Hell, what is it? Is it punishment? No, it is not punishment, it is simply to put, after the last judgment separation from the rest, but those who are separated do not suffer because of being punished but simply because they hate God Why must it be the last judgment as opposed to "a judgment"? Wher...

So, Jim, your answer to anochria's question (which you posted above your comments) is...? To answer his question, it isn't if someone is going to heaven or hell, both are experienced now to various degree's and will be fully experienced in the future but, the question is do you want to become what ...

I believe Jesus is speaking of the futu...

Priestly1 wrote: Paul is very clear in his Letter to Corinth's Christians.....The Holy Eucharist IS the Body and Blood of Christ. He held it to be a desecrating sacriledge to come before the LORD's Table in "an unworthy state ." Reformed Cristianity and Anabaptists have changed this to in "an unwor...

I should have been more explicit. I should not have restricted my purview to that of Western Christianity, because I know that, throughout the whole church age, there were other branches of the Church (e.g., Coptic, Eastern Orthodox, Assyrian, "Thomas Christians" in India, etc.) that did not follow...

On Steve's show today (Nov. 5, 2009) a lady called in concerning the gospel and history. I was appauled when Steve mentioned that the Gospel was overshadowed for 1500 years, I still can't believe he said that.
