Should all posts be removed where someone is talking down to others, or in otherwise replying with inappropriate ways, how many posts would remain??

Much love!
That's your contribution? Defending bad behavior of Christians as we discuss scripture?

Jesus is Salvation.
You can't "lose" Him, if He is in you.... = "Christ in you, the Hope of Glory".
"well behold, i can walk away from Jesus". "I can do a backflip right out of Christ".
= (face-palm) geez.
You can't walk away from Jesus who is IN YOU......all you can do is not understand Salvation, and that is a carnal mind.
And you certainly have that, if you believe you can lose your Salvation. @nedsk
Ever hear of the Parable of the Prodigal Son?
He walked away from his secure position – and later returned in repentance when things got bad.

Why did Jesus teach this parable?
To show the forgiveness of God – when we repent from turning our back on Him


Matt. 5:13
You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Romans 11:20-22
But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

2 Peter 3:17

Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

Do you enjoy being so wrong so much of the time?

I love the real church and Romanism is not the real church.

And they teach the Scriptures not the false teachihngs of Rome.
The Catholic church is the only church with any chance of traffic it's history back to the apostle. The garbage you people spread around has only been around since the 1500s. Your history traces back to Luther,the looney little monk.

Being born again, is not something you caused, and its not something you can end.

Being born again is one of the
(2) eternal PROOFs of having received God's "GIFT of Salvation.""

Being born again is a BIRTH of your spirit, that is caused by God's Holy Spirit.
You cannot end this, as its a birth, and its eternal.
A Christian cannot stop being BORN............again.......... as a birth cannot be changed or ended.

The 2nd Proof of having received Salvation, is that God's Holy Spirit is now inside the Beleiver, as spiritual union with God.
This cannot be ended, as its an eternal spiritual union with God that is restored by the Holy Spirit.. forever.

Mary has nothing to do with salvation.

The Father needed a woman to cooperate so Jesus could be born in to a physical body, after that Mary is out of the picture and is meaningless concerning salvation.

The Father rejoiced at his son's return. Welcome with open heart and arms. The son never stopped being a son.
The Catholic church is the only church with any chance of traffic it's history back to the apostle. The garbage you people spread around has only been around since the 1500s. Your history traces back to Luther,the looney little monk.
That your church engenders that level of hostility toward non Catholics is a sad testimony. And certainly not representative of how Christ would speak.

Why do you suppose the story of the wedding at Cana is in Scripture?

I speak the way your fellow "Christians" speak. My sin is I won't tolerate arrogance and disrespect.

No. What I mean is, there is far too much of that sort of bad behavior on this forum.

Many people word their posts in this kind of "what's wrong with you?" way.

Much love!

Jesus' first act of creation in His earthly ministry. And a useful occasion to record Mary telling the servants to do what Jesus told them to do, her last recorded words in Scripture. Obey Jesus.

Much love!

Something has to be wrong when people deny facts that are placed right in front of them.

She also pushed Jesus to do it as he said, My hour has not yet come but she instructed the servants to follow his commands knowing he would do as she asked.

You won't rise above what you construe as bad behavior? You'll match it?
As I said that's my sin and yes I will match it. You don't agree with me but I believe I've been polite to you. What I find most unseemly is how so many won't even consider they might be wrong which leads them to arrogance and disrespect. Sorry I won't accept that and I have to work on my sin. It's a work in progress

One more thing on this--

I had taken at face value your claim that "syngenes" (συγγενὴς) was "not in Koine Greek" when the LXX was translated. But that, too, is evidently false. It appears five times in the Greek Old Testament, three in Leviticus, one in 2 Samuel, one in Ezekiel. G4773 - syngenēs - Strong's Greek Lexicon (lxx).

Meanwhile, you "openly accus[e] the roman church of heresy and Blasphemy" and hurl loads of fact-free invectives otherwise. In all sincerity, perhaps you should pause to sort out your apparent, all-too-casual relationship with the truth, John 8:44; Romans 1:18-23; 1 Corinthians 6:10; 1 Peter 3:10-12, before further reviling "the pillar and bulwark of the truth," 1 Timothy 3:15.
Well I cannot tell if blue letter uses a later revised LXX and used syngenes . But in three Greek manuscripts of the OT I found syngenes was not there.

I do accuse because they have and I listed some of the false doctrines.

The greatest of these is losing ones salvation. That is heresy and blasphemy against the blood shed by Jesus .
