Read Romans 1-4.

I'm assuming the person is a christian in the first place in order to fulfill 2 Tim 2. Atheists can't accurately handle Gods word since they are spiritually incapable of understanding. Same with any non believer.

Which is why i quoted 2 Tim 2:15 earlier. We can be approved by God to accurately handle His word...through studying. Our interpretations either compliment scripture or it doesn't. Some are simply ignorant of the bible as a whole, others have an agenda and have to bend or outright break...

Right, so a broad brushed generalization regarding 'fundamentalism' isn't the best approach right?

Well i guess that means my church isn't the fundie type then. We have people with tats that are great men and women of God. We have a mix of ethnicities but we are small compared to many churches. Your continued attempt to speak down at fundimentalist churches is failing. And btw, any denom or...

Right and catholics don't apply themselves here by looking at all of scripture. They pull a few verses out of Jn 6 to make up their dogma. So 'study to show yourself approved..' isn't being done here.

"some people" is pretty vague. Do you know of anyone thats actually said they think that way? Or who actually cuts off their hands and gouges out their eyes due to sin? Jesus said to do it right? Or do we literally eat Jesus 'to have life' in us? Its called hermenutics.

Couple of things. A. The pope is a type of anti christ just like John says in 1 John. "The" anti christ is yet to appear. Could it be a pope? Maybe but it doesn't have to be. B. The rcc is still pagan to the core. You said 'when rome was still pagan...' Well its never not been pagan. It still...

Have you read 2 Tim 2:15? Do you believe it?

Funny, i've never seen this in over 30 years as a believer. Its normally the 'one true church' folks that think their church and theirs alone is 'the' church. And its their doctrines and dogmas that are right and everyone else wrong. I think if a persons interpretation compliments the bible then...

Ya I prefer Christian. In certain books Mormons, jws, oneness Pentecostals and others are all lumped into protestantism.

No we don't. We believe the ekklesia is the one true church. Those called out ones are in many churches. All the born again are part of the ekklesia where ever they are. And Protestant is a pretty wide ranging group. As far as catholicism goes, the Mormon church is part of protestantism. One of...

None of those things are equal to God's written word.

The hermeneutic of the cults isn't to harmonize their beliefs with scripture, but their church. We see this with catholicism every day, the church this, the church that. Their ccc even says to read the Bible with church history and tradition in mind. Mormons have their apostles. Jws have their...

The 'catholic position'? Purgatory is where you go to atone for your own sins. The biblical position? Purgatory doesn't exist. Jesus atones for 100% of our sins.

They can't hear you. Another ineffective practice found nowhere in the bible.

Case in point. I'll keep praying for you.

Like what? Link us to anything rising to the level as bol. So its bigoted and patronizing to tell someone they need prayer? Got it. So you never pray for anyone because it would be 'bigoted and patronizing'? Not a single person in the n.t. lifted up a wafer and said 'heres god, worship'. God...

The only one doing any insulting is you. I'm sure no one is running to be a roman catholic based on your demeanor. You sound very angry. Maybe something happened to you in your past? Either way, you need prayer and a savior. And not the plate sized wafer in your avatar. That is not God, its...

If thats a stumbling block for him then discuss the verses he thinks refer to water baptism being necessary for salvation. Probably verses like; John 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21 and maybe the end of Mark 16. None of these suggest water baptism saves anyone. Salvation is a free gift of God, not a work we...
