If I may, Westcott and Hort were high-churchmen of The Church of England. They have been accused falsely by KJVO's for years. It's a shame that people identifying as Christians would engage in such slander. But they do. I have considered that people are just repeating each other instead of...

I'm good with that. For me personally, I try to provide truth from the scriptures and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit. We know that they have very little in the way of scripture to support their errant beliefs. Besides that we know that the Catholic Church is in the throes of a death...

I have read a good many replies in this thread. It seems that there is more than disagreement, there are veiled insults. As Christians we aren't called to be bringing up strife and engaging in foolish controversies. I do agree with your stand on the Marian doctrines. Mary is not God's...

I have read your post, but perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Do you have any scripture that says God gives us free will unto Salvation. I've read through my Bible many times and I have never come across it. The elect are chosen before the foundation of the world. Only the elect can receive...

Revelation 21:22 doesn't speak about wars or battles. It's about the temple. Simon didn't really believe or Jesus would have accepted him. I believe you are seeing things that are not there. There is only one gospel.

I suppose that I have no reason to expect a different outcome for these same ideas over and over and over................. My two cents. Catholics are fond of saying that doctrine develops. When Protestants explain their doctrine was being developed, it all of a sudden becomes a problem. One...

I'm new here and as such I don't know the persons involved in this thread. My two cents. This is not a yes or no answer. It encompasses questions such as what a continuist believes and what a cessationist believes. Then there is the issue of who gets what gift from the Holy Spirit. It's...

Huh? None of these verses show that we have free will unto salvation! Am I misunderstanding you?

Thanks for you kind reply. We do have free will regarding most things. I can choose to eat a green salad or a fruit salad. Other examples abound. But we do not have free will when it comes to salvation. There is not a single verse in the Bible that says so. Scripture teaches that the elect...

Where are your biblical supports for this view. Where in the scriptures does it say that free will is involved in salvation? It doesn't. In fact it says the complete opposite. John 15:16: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth...

Do you have any scripture that supports your view? I have read through the Bible many times and I've never seen your idea there. God Bless

TWO gospels? No, I don't think so. Jesus died on the Cross once. What are the biblical proofs of such a notion?

brionne, nice to meet you. When I post, I like to make sure that I have some scriptural support for my foundation. I have never found a single verse in the Bible that says we have free will unto salvation. To the contrary, it says that we are saved by grace and that we cannot do anything to...

I'm sure you have already seen the response from Martin Luther. Yet the Bible says we are saved by grace. Grace is a gift from God. Notice that Ephesians 2:8-9 says the very same thing. Ephesians 2:8-10 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift...

We are chosen for salvation as the Bible states: John 15:16: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 1:12,13...
