Every time we find the words "It is written" it is in reference to the Old Testament. There is nothing in Jesus' use of the words "it is written" to suggest that only what is written is a revelation from God. In fact, scripture specifically refutes that notion. At Acts 21:9 we read: And he...

Exactly. Scripture itself confirms it. Most of the teaching of the primitive church was oral. The Gospels were not written until after Paul had written his last letter and we have no record of all that Paul taught at the many synagogues and places where he preached the Gospel. Oral teaching...

1Th 4:16-17 (RSV) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet...

What do you see that is inconsistent with the Bible? Why do you find it inconsistent?

Here's some of His promises: COL1:21-23 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight —IF YOU CONTINUE IN YOUR FAITH, established...

Redemption form what? He secured our redemption from death. Christ destroyed death's power by His death and resurrection. All of mankind will be raised immortal and imperishable but, where one spends eternity depends on whom one obeyed; Jesus or one's own desires. Salvation is open to all...

And that is part of what Bonhoefer called "cheap grace." IMO, the OSAS teaching is a device of Satan to convince alleged Christians that all they have to do is believe and that they don't ever have to do any of the "good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." (EPh...

I like that word, "practice." Before believing in Jesus I practiced sin and got to be very good at it. Having believed, now I practice righteousness and hope to become an expert!

Be prepared to hear that, hatefromheretoeternaty.

Except, of course, your KATH-lick neighbors, right hatefromheretoeternity? Do you love me? I'm not feeling it.

More ignorant religious bigotry. (sigh) I'm not feeling your "Christian" love.

Catholics are as able to use scripture to defend their beliefs as are Protestants. They do not use "ONLY" church teaching. Along those lines, I would include the teaching of the "rapture" and "once saved always save" the Protest ant equivalent to what you call RCC "church teachings." There is a...

It would be good for Christians, alleged and actual, to discuss their differences without condemning each other for their understanding or misunderstanding. It is an unfortunate reality that there are those who are more dedicated to their hatreds and bigotries than to being conformed to Christ...

I'm not talking about "disagreement." I'm talking about lies, slander and general religious bigotry. "Father:" Paul called himself a "father" and you call your male parent "father." Purgatory: I no less "unscriptural than the "rapture" teaching or "once saved always saved." No RC "worships"...

What makes you think that supporting views with scripture and defending RCC dogma are mutually exclusive with respect to the RCC but, apparently, not with respect to Protestantism? I don't think that the Immaculate conception or purgatory are supported by scripture but, neither do I find...

Excellent advise.

Would those of you who have a deep-seated hatred of the Roman Catholic church please just keep it to yourselves? So far, not one of you has shown that he knows what he is talking about and, just to let you know, when you practice lying, slandering and other bigoted, ignorant, and obnoxious...

The Orthodox lent begins much later than the Catholic this year. It is a strict fast, no meat, dairy, fish, oil, eggs, alcohol. Just bread and veggies. But, as our pastor says, when you're fasting, don't look at anyone else's plate. We fast Wednesday and Friday anyway and each day begins and...

And your post is yet another example of the ignorant and hateful overflow of you Catholic-bashing liars. Your fruit of lies and hate-mongering identify you. Don't imagine that your bigotry represents anything like real Christianity. Jesus said that the two greatest commandments are to love...

Actually, the Mesopotami9an flood epics predate the Noah flood story by about 500 years. And, yes, "putting a Jewish spin on it" is a probably a good conclusion but not from the Babylonian exile. That came about 1000 years or so later. In the Mesopotamian flood epic, the earth cries out to the...
