That's a non-answer So I'll try again:. You say you can't sin as you like - why not?

That's not the point. The point is, every believer is tempted to sin - can a believer give into temptation and sin without penalty? In other words, can a believer disobey the commandments of God and expect no punishment with regards salvation? I'm thinking of a verse like Gal 5, in which...

You're being evasive. You say you can't do what you like - if you can't do what you like, it necessarily follows that you are under law. That is simple and inescapable logic. You can't have it both ways - if you can do what you like, you are not under law; if you cannot do what you like...

In that case, if you can't sin as you like, you are under law and you are saved by faith and works.

Why can't you sin as you like?

As a believer, are you free to sin as you like?

No penalty for sin? In that case, why does Paul warn believers in Gal 5 that their sins can land them in hell?

If works are necessary, then obviously we are saved by faith and works, not faith alone, as James 2:24, 26 clearly indicate ... as do many other verses from the NT.

No doubt about it - you're a deadset genius - a comic genius! I love the way you can say the most absurd things and keep a straight face. Thanks for the entertainment.

I feel sorry for you - every time you open your Bible you are reminded that an antichrist-harlot church was responsible for bringing it into existence. That must leave a bad taste in your mouth - a bit like sitting down in a public toilet to eat a fine meal.

In that case, stop lying - you know I believe in "salvation by faith and works" but you misleadingly and falsely call it "salvation by works". They are not the same thing. Are you really that low and dishonest?

The canon of the NT wasn't settled until the fourth century. The Catholic Church is the Church that existed from the very beginning, as described in the book of Acts. The name "Catholic Church" is recorded in official use as early as 106 AD. If it wasn't the Catholic Church that decided the...

Stop talking ignorant nonsense. In order for the sacrament to be effective, one must have genuine remorse for having sinned and then one must vow to do one's best to not commit that sin again. God is not a fool - He forgives only if the confession is genuine, otherwise the sacrament is...

Millions were murdered by the Catholic Church? Says who? You’re an gullible, anti-Catholic bigot who’ll swallow any lie told about the CC, no questions asked. Which Catholic law says murder is allowed? Unlike you, the Catholic Church doesn’t teach the idiotic and salvation-destroying...

Sounds suspiciously like Calvinist nonsense to me. Faith is a decision you make as a result of your own free will. God doesn’t make that decision for you. Or does God create human robots? Jesus said some believers will lose their faith (Luke 8:13). So does Heb 6:4-6. Go on atheist online...

Let me get this straight … You admit that the Catholic Church - which you call “harlot” and “antichrist” - was responsible for deciding which books would make up the New Testament?!! Firstly, what sort of fool would trust a book produced by an organization he believes to be demonic? Secondly...

I don’t blame you trying to back down from what you said in post #2945 - that God “hides salvation” from educated people - which has to go down as one of the most stupid, most embarrassing and most offensive remarks ever posted on a Christian website.

The Catholic Church is not a man-made organization, but rather the “fullness” of Christ (Eph 1:22-23) and ‘the pillar and foundation of the truth” (1Tim 3:15). The Catholic Church is both divine and human - the divine part is perfect; the human part is sinful and therefore imperfect, especially...

I can’t find anything in Romans that says works are irrelevant to salvation - although I can see that Romans say we are not saved by works alone. In Matt 7:21-23, Jesus condemns believers because of their sins. In others words, Jesus condemned them due to their works, apart from their faith...

Sounds like you’re trying to change the subject … rather than admit that your argument is illogical and therefore fails. It seems to me that the basis of your faulty argument lies in your failure to understand the difference between our redemption (the Cross) and our salvation (abiding in...
