Perpetual virginity of Mary!

[Grailhunter]

Faith in Christ saves?
then baptism is meaningless?
No it is the grace of God that justifies thru the sacrament of baptism!

No baptism and communion are required.

That’s where grace comes from the merits of Christ

1 pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Strong religious beliefs prescribed by a religion.
Usually associated with enforceable rules.

Listen here girly I just hope you are all God blessed!

Your use of words to diminish another is noted. It demonstrates that you have no real argument. Good luck with that. Here is the standard: If you don't think that Jesus would use words such as 'girly' against another, you shouldn't either. Just sayin'

Did everyone in the Old Testament sin? I think we can safely say they did because Paul said that ALL have sinned.... And this is what Peter had to say about it as he quoted from Isaiah 53:

1 Peter 2:24-25
He Himself bore our sins
in His body on the tree,
so that, having died to sins,
we might live for righteousness;
you have been healed by His wounds.
For you were like sheep going astray,
but you have now returned
to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Isaiah 53
Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the living
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

Thats right my friend . Everyone needs JESUS . OH let the glorious LORD be praised .
Arise and praise the KING .
All Glory to God . Blessed be the Glorious name of JESUS CHRIST .
Let that yellow bird cut loose with a song to the KING .

Your mistake is common. Your thinking that Heaven and Hell are the only possible spiritual destinations.

What's the third?

 

[Renniks]

Certainly, all have sin and have fallen short of the glory of God...Like I said it was impossible to keep the Mosaic Law in that time period. But then again, no sin that was worth noting in the scriptures...the only sin involved is adultery. God impregnating a woman that was engaged was considered adultery by the Mosaic Law and Jews. Punishable by death. The Bible address this indirectly when it tells of Joseph thinking of putting her away quietly, in attempt to prevent accusations. Matthew 1:19 "And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly."

Mary didn't commit adultery, Silly.
But she was a sinner, like all of us are.

Try looking at the Mosaic Law

Where do you think the Jews went?
Heaven....Sheol.....Hell

What are you looking for?

I can't believe what you just said. I saved it. In all of my Christian life, I have never, ever, heard anyone

What are you looking for?

If the words of Jesus are not convincing, there is nothing to say. You evidently trust men over the words of Jesus. Proof positive of the power brain washing.

I'm truly and sincerely sorry for what this organization has done to you. The Popes aren't going to be there when you meet Jesus.

I am not expecting much from any Pope. I have more respect for your average Protestant preacher.
The words of Yeshua are great but which words are you talking about?

 

[Spurgeon's Girl]

With out being subject to a bishop (successors of the apostles) who is subject to pope (successors of Peter) you have no connection to Christ!

Jesus said to obey the authority of the successors of Moses mt 23 authority of the keys and power to bind and loose and this power and authority was taken from them and given by Christ to Peter, the apostles and their successors, mt 16:18 18:18 this same authority and power must be obeyed!

mt 28:18-20 all authority is given to Peter, the apostles, and their successors requiring obedience, rom 1:5 obedience to the faith!
And Jesus say to Peter, the apostles, and their successors: behold I am with you even until the end of the world!!!
So the apostles have to remain until the end!

I particularly love Matthew 23. It's a reaffirmation of everything I have said. The ruling Pharisees were called hypocrites. The very same activity as your supposed church.

Lk 10:16 He who hears you hears me...

There is indeed unity between Jesus and His disciples. But I have no evidence that anyone that ruled the early church were disciples of Jesus. I have already shown that I don't believe that Peter was the first Pope, but it seems that I can't find a single disciple among the ECF's. I have taken a lengthy course in Church history. An argument can and should be made for those who followed Christ and the disciples and their adherents. But.....

The reality is that men can't help but destroy everything in their path. Jesus never uttered a word about purgatory, the perpetual virginity of Mary, etc. And... He never said anything about there being no salvation outside the Catholic Church. No these are just puffed up musings that do not come from scripture.

John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 16:13
Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20

Spiritual Fathers have care for our souls!

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Jn 21:17 feed my sheep:

Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they care for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

1 Tim 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 John 2
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
That makes Paul and John spiritual fathers, pastors of our souls!

These are all good verses, but none of them apply solely to the Roman Catholic Church. My Pastor is a disciple of Christ and there are many others which I believe was the intent of Jesus when he instructed the disciples to be about the Great Commission.

So here is my question. Why should I follow a man who espouses socialism? Why should I follow a man who has covered up the grievous sins of child sexual assault for generations? Why should I follow an organization that funds abortion. Why should I follow a man who seemingly worships wooden idols? Why should I follow a man who approves of homosexuality when the Bible calls it depraved sin?

I understand that you are sincere in your beliefs. But I ask you to search the scriptures such as the Bereans did. A child of the Risen King deserves the truth.

God Speed.

And YOU do?????

Fascinating.....Please write a book and help ALL of us understand the proper context of Scripture!!!

I see that don't want to discuss it. That's fine. I'm going to follow the Bible.

1 Peter 3:15

make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

@Spurgeon's Girl Great verse there...

 

[Spurgeon's Girl]

Jesus said Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

You say forbid the children to go to him!

Why do you preach opposite of what Jesus said?

There are many things that I have said here. But I have never said that children can't come to Jesus. Not now, not ever.

There are few things that would make me report anyone, but misrepresenting what I have said is one of them.

The onus is now on you. Please show the quote where I said "forbid the children to go to him!.
