"Can anyone name a single instance in which a kid accepted the first explanation they had been given, and stopped questioning?" Santa Claus.

My definition is fallible (can fail), because mankind is fallible (which includes the creeds, councils, Popes, Bishops, and Protestant Elders. By faith, I believe the Scriptures are not fallible (cannot fail). Such as Isaiah 55: 10. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do...

No. It takes no effort at all to "simply believe as little children".

Scripture says "born again" (born from above). Scripture says no more condemnation in Christ Jesus. So who says a "new sinless creation"? And, the born-again people do magnify God.

You said: "What you have to prove is that Tradition and Magisterium are not needed." The problem is not that tradition and the church are not needed, it's that they are not infallible, as the Catholic Church claims.

You said: "I may be lacking in education but I have far greater knowledge in the things of God than most in these forums."

You said: "-One would have to believe the Creator of the Universe, God, the brilliant Father Almighty, was some sort of Omnipresent all knowing Spiritual Being tyrant that thought in immature, jealous, angry, barbaric human ways. I don't." I know you don't believe the Scriptures, but this is a...

Very good. Thanks.

From 1Peter (bold type added by me): "13. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14. or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15. For this is the...

From Matthew 18: "15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone."

You said: "Choosing to ignore the gospel is not the same as never hearing it. None of your verses account for the latter." No. Each of those verses I quoted includes people who have never heard the gospel.

"Does God see to our physical needs or are we(the church) supposed to see to the needs of each other?(therefore fulfilling the will of God through love)." Our local church saw to our needs one time, after we asked. They do this for others in the church, but we don't hear about it. So, yes, the...

Maybe it means that the whole point of the Law of Moses was the "righteous requirement", which no one perfectly accomplished except the Lord. So, spiritually, believers have fulfilled the Law of Moses, and are now under the Law of God; which I'm not going to try to define. Others can do that...

When I question God, it seems good to remember these verses: From Romans 9: 14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15. For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”...

The Law of Moses was fulfilled in Christ. And we have fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law of Moses. From Romans 8: 2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the...

Your statement: "Chapter and verse where Paul says all those who never heard the gospel are condemned to hell." John 3:18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God...

If she was sinless, she wouldn't need a Savior. She was blessed among women, not above women. You, and the Catholic Church and Orthodox churches, dishonor the Virgin Mary by your false teachings about her; making her a super sinless saint.

Here's the Post (#5) I was responding to: kepha31 said: ↑ "The question that needs to be asked is: Would a person be condemned to hell, if, through no fault of their own, never heard the gospel?" I said: "It looks like it, according to the Apostle Paul." So, I'm saying a "heathen can be...

It looks like it, according to the Apostle Paul. From Romans 5: "12. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—..."

He said: "Even after the Seventh Ecumenical Council upheld the use of icons (in 787),..." It did more than uphold the use of icons; anathemas were decreed for those who would reject the veneration of icons. From the Seventh Ecumenical Council: Anathemas concerning holy images 1. If anyone...
