You’re right - keeping the commandments is not “saving Faith” (whatever that is) - it is “works” - as in “a man is justified by works and not be faith alone” (James 2:24) and “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). Why did Jesus say, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John...

If you understood the use of gender in Greek words, you would understand why the two different words are used in Matt 16:18 - and it has nothing to with your imagined difference between a small stone and a large rock. Furthermore, you didn't answer my question: Why did Jesus give Simon the...

In other words, you have no idea why Jesus gave Simon he the name "rock" the very first time they met. Well here's a clue: Read Matt 16:18. It ain't rocket science.

Are you saying if a Christian has faith, he can lie, steal and murder and still make it to Heaven?

Please be advised that that old chestnut is right up there with the very dumbest anti-Catholic arguments ever. How embarrassing. So no one can call their own biological father, "Father"? Hilarious. Explain why Steven and Paul both addressed the Jewish religious leaders as "Fathers".

Jesus and Simon meet for the very first time in John 1:42, whereupon Jesus immediately changes Simon's name to Cephas, which is an Aramaic word meaning "rock". Please explain why Jesus did that.

Please pay attention to what my post said - I'm talking about John 1:42, not Matt 16. In John 1:42, Jesus changed Simon's name to Cephas, which is Aramaic for "rock" ... this happened the very first time they met. Explain why Jesus did that.

Repentance is works, so you're preaching salvation through faith and works - which is fine by me, coz we are not saved by faith alone. James 2:24 says "a man is justified by WORKS and NOT BY FAITH ALONE". By "works" means keeping God's commandments, which includes repentance. Abiding in...

Judging by some of his doctrines, Charles Russel couldn't even read English properly!

You didn't answer my question: Why did Jesus change Simon's name to "rock" the very first time they met (John 1:42)?

Did the Holy Spirit tell you that?

The word "approval" is not literally there, it is implied - as would be obvious to any intelligent adult who is not afraid to read the text honestly.

It's possible the Church is experiencing the Great Apostasy mentioned in 2Thess 2.

Even if those things were true, what is your point?

The Protestant hero, Martin Luther, in his dishonest translation of the NT, added the word “alone” to Romans 3:28, so that it read “a man is justified by faith alone”. He lied in this way in order to deceive anyone stupid enough to listen to him and his false “faith alone” doctrine. Luther...

That is correct when the Pope is teaching Church doctrine. Your comment demonstrates that you don’t understand the Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility. This is what I find curious about ex-Catholics who attack the Church - they don’t understand Catholicism! Sort of, but not quite - the...

Good grief - what are you talking about? Can you read English? Acts 15:2 clearly describes how Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement about circumcision, so they went sent (“appointed to go”) to the Churches leaders in Jerusalem “about this question”. After their meeting with the Church...

You can’t believe everything you read. I take such stories with a large grain of salt - I wish I had a dollar for every sensational rumour from “Vatican insiders” and for every conspiracy theory written about the Vatican! There is no doubt there are some corrupt Catholic clergy, but who knows...

The first problem with your argument is that “all Scripture” referred to in 2Tim 3:16 is the Old Testament (see v.15). Pray tell, how can the OT alone make a Christian “complete”? No, it doesn’t say anything at all about correcting “false thinking” - it simply says “for correction”...

I should think so - salvation is a process and we are not saved until after we die are judged and granted salvation by Christ. Until then, we only have the hope of being saved.
