We do have verses in the Old Testament of necromancers and spiritists with God forbidding His people from appealing to the dead through them. It is written in the Law. Consider for instance the example written of Saul, who called upon the spirit of Samuel after he died, through the woman of...

This is an argument from silence and proves nothing. Are you imagining the great cloud of witnesses that surround believers are a spiritual body witnessing from heaven after physical death? When using greater context we discover from Heb 11 it is the faith these witnesses displayed in life...

Nowhere in Rev 20 does John write of a millennial Kingdom of God on this earth! John writes that Satan is bound for a thousand years, and during this time martyred saints have lived and reigned with Christ. Then John writes the dead will not live again until the thousand years were finished...

Where does the Bible ever speak of a millennial Kingdom of God on this earth either now or when Christ comes again?

What makes you think the twelve disciples chosen by Christ will be judges in eternity?

Catholics might affirm that God alone is to be worshipped, but in practice you worship the mother of Jesus which is an act of idolatry.

With this I completely agree! The life a man receives when they have been born again is ETERNAL, and death does not take eternal life away. Death does however take away our mortal flesh & blood, but that does not mean we are no longer spiritual body, which is that part of us that leaves mortal...

I've made my position clear and feel certain that you will not receive anything you have not learned from Catholic tradition.

Moises Pinedo Doctrinal MattersCatholicismWorship Catholics have recited the “Hail Mary” prayer for many years. It includes the words, “Holy Mary, Mother of God.” These words represent one of the most treasured doctrines of Catholicism. In A.D. 431, the Council of Ephesus proclaimed Mary “to be...

Where in Scripture are we ever instructed to appeal to physically dead humans in prayer? There is only one Mediator between God and humanity. Scripture affirms that Christ is the one mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25) and that the Holy Spirit...

Where in the Word of God is Mary ever referred to as the mother of God? In fact where do we ever read that God has a mother? God is SPIRIT, and it is Spirit that gave the Son of God, Jesus, natural mortal human life. The question you're trying to make this about is why we worship Christ Jesus...

The point is that because Satan was already bound through Christ's cross and resurrection, Satan has no power to hold people in bondage to death who have been born again. Because Satan is bound the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed and people throughout all the nations of the...

It's a good thing we both know that's a lie! Though the spirit called Satan has been bound that he can no longer hold born again saints in fear of death, preventing the Kingdom of God in heaven from being complete, he is far from impotent, as the Bible plainly shows us.

Exactly! Mary needs a Savior because she is human who was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus, who was fully human, destined to die like every other mortal human is, natural flesh and blood. Mary is NOT the mother of GOD. Because God has no mother! He is without beginning and without end...
