"JesusFan1 to Enoch 111: "Can you show me the list where ANY scholar on the nas/esv/Nkjv translation teams became heretics, or denied the full inerrancy and inspiration of the originals?" On the other hand. the KJV translators included a womanizing drunk, who was nevertheless competent in...

Enoch: "Since the Bible refutes praying to anyone but God, why waste time on discussing this false practice? Indeed, why should anyone give any credence to this thread, since you have not joined the church you so admire?" Post #449 demonstrates that the Bible does no such thing. On the...

Not true. The Bible does claim that it is inerrant or perfect. See Psalms 12:6-7, Proverbs 30:5-6, and Psalms 119:140. Psalm 12:6-7 refers to the purity of God's promises, not the OT as we know it. Even in Jesus' day the OT canon was not closed. Proverbs 30:5-6 only says, "Every word of God...

JohnPaul: "I've been touched by God and Christ, that is enough for me, I don't need gifts or miracles to believe I simply just believe." Translation: You don't need to obey God's command to zealously strive for spiritual gifts like tongues. JohnPaul: "I've seen people who claim they speak in...

In post #75 I outlined a clear contradiction in Luke's resurrection narrative and have given fundamentalists about a week to respond. As expected, when confronted with that contradiction, the fundamentalists have frozen like Bambi in the headlights because they have no answer! So kindly...

I doubt than any fundamentalist here have experienced or even heard of someone they know being healed of congestive heart failure through prayer. Well, I'm acquainted with a Catholic who attracted such a miracle through a combination of embracing Catholic reverence for holy relics (e. g. bones...

As expected, fundamentalists here feel the need to get this thread off track because they have no answer to Matthew 16:19, John 20:23, and James 5:16 as a biblical basis for the Catholic practice of confession and priestly absolution. So it seems time to move on to the OP's next topic, "praying...

[Behold: "Objective errors ? You will show us misspelled words and your opinion regarding "original Koine greek", and "Original Extant manuscripts", when in fact the only originals are the Apostle's letters, and they dont exist. So, you want to ERECT your strawman based on quoting your...

But why would Jesus identify bizarre phenomena like poison-drinking and snake-handling as "signs" of the true believer in His only statement in Mark's only resurrection appearance, when He might have mentioned transformational signs like ,say, the fruit of the Spirit, a Spirit-led life or...

Truth OT: "Thanks for chiming in Bob. The fact that there is contention within the Christian faith(s) bolsters my point that the Bible is very ambiguous, at times contradictory, and downright confusing regarding numerous religious subjects that would appear to be of upmost importance." Most of...

Cassandra: "God asked that those images be made.. None of them were to be bowed down tofoe veneration. it says here "You shall not bow down yourself to them or worship them." God did not tell the church to fill itself with icons.No one was allowed inside of the Holy or the Most holy Place in...

Christ4Me: "And only One Holy Spirit in us to teach us and not men. Just saying, I hoped you discerned with the Lord Jesus Christ everything you had been taught and especially when you translate because I have seen Greek scholars contend over the meaning of verses like John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians...
