    Question for Catholics: Do you classify all non-Catholics as Protestant?

    My beloved biological father was a hard-core Catholic and was the same as the people you described. Of course he didn't have the benefit that we've derived from the vast amounts of theological information available via the internet. Although with him it likely wouldn't have mattered. He was...

    Standing… Survey… YES or NO………………?ONCE SAV-ED…SAV-ED FOREVER [OSAS)?

    I don't know. As I conceded in my response "I certainly may be mistaken about 'once saved always saved'."

    Mass murder revealed, so says Harvard study..

    Half of the GOP Congress, starting with soon-to-retire Mitch McConnell, is CORRUPT and they must be primaried out of office. However, 100% of the Democratic Congress is corrupt.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Do you believe in forever punishment, aka "Hell"?

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Where else would a faithful follower of Christ be sent after death?

    Standing… Survey… YES or NO………………?ONCE SAV-ED…SAV-ED FOREVER [OSAS)?

    I believe that Jesus's sacrifice saved ALL beings from forever death. I further believe that faith in Jesus, as demonstrated by faithfully following his commandments, saves Christians from a trip/experience in the "Lake of Fire". However, I also believe that ALL beings will be in God's future...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    I base my belief that my biological father is in Heaven in part on verses such as John 3:16.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    What I discuss here isn't necessarily what I discuss in the world. Most people don't know or care about theology. I keep it simple but also (hopefully) inspiring. For example, I share with many that God once thought of them, created them, and has big plans for them in his future Kingdom. I...

    I'm sorry. I don't understand your question.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    My biological father was a hard-core Catholic and a very Godly man. He passed before I began gleaning that Catholicism is a false system. I am certain that he went straight to Heaven. The Catholic Church is filled with many Godly people.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    One doesn't need to be a theologian to enter God's Kingdom. I enjoy doctrinal discussion but it can be divisive and can cause us to bear bad fruit. I have to constantly remind myself to bear GOOD fruit as our Heavenly Father wants from us.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    I judge no one but I discern that the Catholic Church teaches a gospel that is different from the one that was taught by Paul and the other apostles. Galatians 1:8-9 English Standard Version 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    I was raised Catholic but picked up a Bible and left that false system a decade ago. Now I'm non-denominational. How about you?

    Interesting preterist argument

    The guy in the video is (I understand) and "full preterist". I understand that there are also "partial preterists". What is one called who believes that the events described in the OD will occur in the future?

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    You're filled with pride and are here to win arguments rather than to share and learn with your brothers and sisters. You need to check your ego.

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    The Catholic Church shares this doctrine. Are they Christian? It probably depends on who you ask but, in my OPINION, a belief system that necessitates that faith and trust in Jesus alone is insufficient for salvation is NOT a "Christian" theology.

    Deliverance from the Deepest Darkness — My War with Porn

    Indeed, even Paul confessed that he was the worst.

    Deliverance from the Deepest Darkness — My War with Porn

    I can relate. I was an alcoholic for decades. I pleaded with God countless times to give me strength but I continued on my dreadful path. One day God granted me repentance and I haven't drank in 20 months. People tell me "Great job!" but I gently tell them it was all God's doing and all praise...
