The Bible was written and authored by God. Everything He wanted us to know about Him, His Salvation, and true Gospel is written in the Bible. You do not claim the Bible is the written word of God, yet to prove your point you consult scriptures! Jesus would say “you hypocrite.” How did you learn...

The scripture references you have offered speaks of different situations and really have nothing to do with Matthew 18:20, although everything in the Bible co-relates. The context of Matthew 18:20 is one of the judicial processes which begins in verse 15. In order for a thing to be...

But most notably, @amadeus and within the Christian circle, Matthew 18:20 is widely misinterpreted. For example, if I’m praying alone in my closet, is Jesus not present with me because He said where two or three are gathered in His name there He will be also? Can anyone see this dilemma or...

First, respond to post #30 which is addressed to you before I make a comment on your statements above. - Jun2u

This, of course, is a false statement! If the above statement is true then it would also be true there will no one be put to hell, for all men’s sins would have been paid for. In fact, the opposite is true. “You shall call His name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew...

Jesus is indeed the Savior of all true believers, but 1 John 4:14 merely states that in all of the whole world (cosmos) Jesus is the ONLY Savior and no one else! To God Be The Glory

I agree with the OP along with the Scripture referenced by Ezekiel 36. Good insight. However, I believe the promise of Ezekiel 36 is not to Ancient or National Israel, but to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” did Jesus come for which is called Israel of God (Galatians 6:15-16) consisting...

The word "baptize" in Scripture means "wash." The Bible speaks of two Baptisms. On the one hand, it speaks of water baptism which man performs, and the other, a spiritual baptism (Titus 3:5) which only God performs. Water baptism is not essential to one's salvation as we read in 1 Peter...

Jesus came as a servant to do the works of the Father, that is, to tell the world about God and His kingdom, and to die on the cross to save His people from their sins, Matthew 1:21. One of the works Jesus did was to proclaim the Gospel, yet there were only 120 in the upper room and about 500...

It is because most Bible students read and critique scriptures like it is an ordinary book, instead of a Holy Book containing God’s words that must be obeyed! Revelation 22:18-19 is not only an ominous warning to the world that if we add or take away from the book of this prophecy, He will add...

I will say it again, Catholics do not know how to read nor understand Scriptures, even after claiming their church is the pillar and ground of truth (which of course is a false statement). The “book” in Revelation 22:18-19 refers to the WHOLE BIBLE. As we study the Bible, we find from time to...

As I’ve said in the past, Catholics do not know how to read nor understand Scriptures, or connect the dots, so to speak! Is it because they believe with confidence that their church is the pillar and ground of truth? Can the leaders of ANY church be the pillar and ground of truth who are...

Reasons why I could personally never chose to be Catholic Everyone has a different divine authority that structures and determines the Gospel. My divine authority is determined and structured by the Bible alone and in its entirety, is the word of God. While the Catholics divine authority is...

@ Amadeus, Do you know where I am going? I do not recall conversing with you before, but I truly may have forgotten it. Even if I did, isn't it possible that my position or belief has been changed since then? Does not a believer grow? Does not growth sometimes mean changing even some very basic...

Kepha and BoL, Since both of you responded to my post and both being Catholics I will address my comments to both. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak. You are as angry as you are confused. You haven't a clue what infallibility means, so until you do, you shouldn't comment on it, you...

I’m afraid you have a wrong understanding of the Parable of the Fig Tree. Indeed the Fig Tree represents National Israel. Yes, it was prophesied they were to be scattered in the four corners of the world, and one day would return as a nation once again. Contrary to your suggestions, however, the...

For some reason, I had a feeling the Catholics would somehow put their noses into this topic, specially BoL who believes along with his church that they are infallible as if the word of God came only to them (1 Corinthians 14:36). Yet, he does not have any inkling at all as to the meaning of...

Are you saying when God said "new" He did not mean it but meant to say "refurbish?" WOW... You accused me of holding on for dear life to the false traditions of men. Where, I pray tell, in my discussions with you in other threads have I not offered Scripture references? You say Christ did not...

Most definitely those who are born from above (John 1:13), and specially those whom the Father gave to Jesus in John 6:44 in which He did not lose any (6:37). As I’ve alluded to I don’t believe water baptism is any significant in the salvation of man. Also, I may be wrong, but I don’t believe...
