Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines
Notice The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.
Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.
We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Anderson is a false teacher. He denies the gospel to sinners by claiming that homosexuals cannot repent. I don't expect him to get less basic concepts either."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

A prayer to Mary is one of the earliest prayers we have outside of the NT (3rd century). There are a handful of early instances of writings rejecting icons, but I recall no writings rejecting intercession of the saints from the first millennium or so - Nick, do you know of any?
There's even a story in the OT showing the efficacy of relics (a dead man who touched Elisha's relics came back to life).Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I suppose I'll take a look at later sections as I have time, but all the argument in the world isn't likely to budge me, because invocation of the saints works. Countless miracles have been worked via invocation of the saints - to the glory of God. If God honors it, why reject it? Think about that.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

My Lutheran relatives are always praying to one dead saint or another -- usually whichever one is supposedly in charge of finding lost things. It does seem to work for them, but I can't get past the necromancy aspect.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

I am unconvinced that there is a conscious intermediate state to begin with. As Glenn Peoples points out, there are only a few passages that cause the view difficulty, and they all seem to appear in contexts where the idea of a literal teaching is questionable (i.e. souls at the altar in Revelation, parable of rich man and Lazarus). Meanwhile, the image of death as sleep is prevalent through Scripture, and Daniel 12:2 and 12:13 seems to me to be a straightforward teaching that Daniel and others would sleep until the final judgment. I don't dogmatically hold the view as I don't think Scripture is entirely clear one way or the other, but this does present an extra hurdle."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
