What apostolic churches? What were they called and where were they based? History shows there was only one apostolic Church - the Catholic Church. I can’t find any specifics about the canon the OT in Luke 24 or anywhere in the NT, so what are you talking about? The canon was not officially...

That’s depends on how you define “believers”. True believers are those who do the will of God, but there are false believers who will not be saved: “Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord”, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven; but he who do the will of my Father, who is in Heaven” (Matt 7:21)...

God could make Jack the Ripper or Adolf Hitler or the Boston Strangler write or utter infallible words or make infallible decisions, if He so desired. So there’s no reason why God couldn’t make a Pope who is “living in sin” do likewise. I would say that is purely your assumption and that it is...

In Matthew 23:9, Jesus said no one “on earth” can be called Father, and that there is only “ONE Father”, and that is God. This means you can’t even call your biological father, “Father”. Dumb. What? In Matt 23:8, Jesus says don’t call anyone “rabbi” - “rabbi” is Hebrew for “teacher”, so Jesus...

What are "the commandments of God"?

What do the words "new testament" means in this verse? ... “Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” Luke 22:20

So "covenant" means "agreement" in the New King James Version translation of Heb 9:15, but in the King James Bible translation of Heb 9:15, the same word (translated as "testament") means the collection of Scriptures from Matthew to Revelation. You've got two different interpretations of the...

Please tell me what the term "new covenant" means in the following verse: "And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal...

Please tell me the term "new covenant" means in the following verse: ”And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.”...

What you posted to me was senseless drivel. You'll do anything to avoid admitting that you're wrong. Speaking of which, please cite any Bible commentary that agrees with your (wonderfully entertaining) claim that "new testament" in Heb 9:15 refers to the canon of Scriptures from Matthew to...

In other words, you've no idea who decided on the Canon of the OT or the NT. Why doesn't the that surprise me? If you studied history, you would discover it was the Catholic Church ... so whatever you do, don't study history, it will reveal an inconvenient truth.

What a load of drivel. Compare the two translations of Heb 9:15 below - the first is from the New King James Version, the second is from the original King James Version: NKJV ”And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the...

So a believer can be a serial murderer by performing a thousand abortions and still be saved? Are you sure about that? “All who keep His commandments abide in Him, and He in them.” (1John 3:24). If you don't keep His commandments, you don't abide in Christ. If you don't abide in Christ, you...

Can you elaborate on that, please? I'm not sure what you mean.

There are several Scriptures that imply justification can be lost, but common sense alone should tell you that that justification can be lost. For example, if a believer loses his faith, is he still justified? No. There are thousands of atheists in the world who were once justified, believing...

I agree with the first part - “We are saved by grace through faith”; but as the second part, “justified by faith and grace”, I’m not so sure. James 2:24 says we are justified by faith and works, so faith alone doesn’t justify us unto salvation. As for being justified by “grace”, which...

What are “good works for God”? Can you provide an example, please? What are “works … for self”? Can you provide an example, please?

Scripture implies the Bereans searched only the Old Testament to verify what the apostles told them (Acts 17). Why are you recommending searching only the OT? Now is your big chance to show off your authoritative knowledge of the men who decided on the canon of the New Testament: Who were...

How is it possible to have a sane discussion with someone who flat-out denies the plain words of Scripture?

You didn't read my post. I said Mary is a mediator between us and the MAN, Christ Jesus. I'm not talking about a mediator between GOD and man, but a mediator between MAN (Christ Jesus) and man.
