Matthew, you can believe whatever you want, that's your God-given right as a human being. But let me show you something that's very important and you need to know! First we have to use the Authorized Version of Scripture for the correct understanding. Now let's take a look at this in the KJV...

Amen! We now see Him through faith as the risen Saviour!

I'm not a Calvinist but I have much respect for John Calvin. I read his commentary quite often and have learned many things from him. Actually he is one of my favorite theologians. I agree with him on many things but not predestination. I can only go as far as total depravity of man, and that's...

The examination of our faith is based on the Lord's Supper. There are many examinations found in Scripture but this one is directly toward our faith in the proper object, Christ crucified for the sins of man. Immediately after Paul gave us the Lord's Supper in Scripture, which I posted in the...

Faith is a matter of the heart, as Paul said. It is with the heart that man believes unto righteousness. I believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ when I heard it, the rest is by faith, believing the promise of God. God has called us by faith, we must trust Him through faith. That is all the...

Catholics are deficient of the Pauline Letters. They honor him at face value only, not knowing anything he taught. The New Covenant is a mystery to them. The Church keeps this knowledge from them as they have done for centuries. The Lord can break that barrier, I've seen it done! We have to be...

And Martin Luther was a Catholic monk. But don't be so hard on them, that was around 500 years ago and they didn't have the 20/20 hind sight that we have. They knew enough to know something was wrong in the Church, and thank God they did something about it. Yes, they made some mistakes, but...

It's been there all the time! It's nothing new, but there are not as Godly men as you think who over the centuries have fallen on their knees begging God for the truth, who have placed the truth over all else. As I have said in my posts, the truth was hidden from us in the Old Testament and...

Maybe we can look at it another time. Sorry to have offended you!

But does it make a difference in the way you formerly viewed water baptism?

I know these things are hard for a Catholic to understand, Catholicism is not this type thinking. But if the truth is important to you, there must be a change in thinking of the literal here and now, and into the spiritual things that we must understand in finding the truth of Scripture. I...

@Marymog, do you understand this? Is there anything I can explain for you to better understand?

OK, it's time to wrap this up! It may be a long post, but it all needs to be said together. I will explain with the ability the Lord has given me, which is not saying much, for the Lord has little to work with in me. In explaining what is involved in the faith of our salvation, Paul told us In...

The last recorded words of Mary, "Do what He tells you to do." The Catholics could learn something from that! But they won't!

The Three Hail Mary Devotion "O my Mother, preserve me this day (or night) from mortal sin." As it Mary can do that!

2 Cor. 13:5-6 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates." Paul is telling us to check up on our faith from time to...

Yes, it does make you wonder if James understood. At the Council at Jerusalem in Acts 15, the apostles came together to decide if the Gentiles being saved were to keep the Law of Moses. Everyone gave their opinion with Peter being outspoken on the matter and Paul agreeing. The Gentiles were...

Robert, there are some who will tell you that you are justified by grace through faith initially, and then works come into the picture through sanctification to keep you saved. That is not true! I can help you with Scripture for that if you need it.

You've asked 3 times with no answer or you've read my posts and don't see the answer? Paul plainly said we are saved by faith not of works, lest any man should boast. I've shown you that. James brings works in the picture in a different way. If faith plus works can justify, then James has...

When we wrap this thing up in my next post, we will see the purpose of water baptism clearly.
