Let's nail this done without commentary. "When our body is dead it IS eventually resurrected to life again," True or False?

So, if I understand you, is not true.

What are you saying? Bodily resurrection yes, or bodily resurrection no?

So, let's assume we buy into Heb. 9:22's "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin," and count all other paths to forgiveness of sin mentioned in Scripture -- including Exodus 30:11-16 (paying money), Leviticus 5:11-13 (burning flour by the poor), or more generally, 2...

We are talking past each other. That Christ died for our sins is not disputed. Whether the Father offered His Son's death TO HIMSELF is the matter in question. So let's separate the offeror and the offeree here. We may agree on who the offeror is (the Father). But who is the offeree. Is it...

Yes. I'm not a believer in OSAS (except to the extent it is a tautology), but I think you nailed this one, my friend. James wasn't saying "Faith plus works." He was saying "faith that works."

I have that verse memorized. And it doesn't say anything about God the Father offering His Son as a sacrificial offering to anybody, certainly not to Himself.

That helps, thanks.

Is there some reason to believe that Mary was a descendant of David?

Offers it TO WHOM? To Himself?

I'm not sure how you are using "converted" here, but if Matt. 16:15-17 accurately records the facts, Peter met every test I can think of for "conversion" -- before his triple denial.

I don't know. When it comes to posting on fora like this one, I prefer letting the "marketplace of ideas" root out the falsehoods. The cream will rise to the top eventually, simply by participants' decision to reject and then ignore posters like him. Test everything, as they say. And reject...

Well, we will agree to disagree on whether the U.S. military will ever take the step you predict.

Everybody has the option not to read his tripe. Banning him for being both wrong and strident about it is a harsh step.

That's total fantasy.

Why shouldn't he be? Ignorance is no disqualifier from posting on a forum like this.

And you cannot show in God's Word where Jesus or His Apostles taught anybody to cut their toenails. If you cut yours, is it an "epic FAIL" on your part? Of course not! The point I am making is that prayer to Mary (which, by the way, I do not do; I am not Roman Catholic) is not forbidden by...

Each Mass does not purport to sacrifice Christ anew. Consider the following excerpt from an 1884 sermon given by an Episcopal priest, Daniel C. Roberts (1841-1907), on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the consecration of his church building, St. Paul’s, in Concord, New Hampshire: "Christ hath...

Sabellius had this view. I don't know who else did. Is anyone pushing this today?

A mild correction, if you will permit it: Modern versions of Matthew's gospel report that Jesus said to His disciple, to baptize them in the name of the FATHER, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, not in the name of the Son alone. Whether the verse was in the original or was a later...
