Matthew 25 (Parable of the Talents) clearly teaches that the rewards are not the same, and Paul teaches the Corinthians that "each man's work will be tested" 1 Corinthians 3:13 and that their rewards will be determined by the quality of their works and whether they withstand the "test of fire"...

A Jewish caller cites a passage in which he notices a glaring issue : Jesus seemingly teaches His return to judge and repay each man according to deeds was near... yet it was 2,000 years ago. Matthew 16 21From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer...

This sort of thing literally happened in the Masoretic text with the verse "they pierced my hands and feet"--just ONE "yod" that apparently was accidentally dragged down a little too far was misinterpreted as a "vav" and it became "like a lion my hands and feet" obscuring (I think as a divine...

Therefore, a reasonable person would not go about comparing this citation to Paul's addressing the pagans on Mars Hill. It could be a variant. It could be a later interpolation. It could be a misinterpretation--maybe a name that was similar that was then contorted into "Sinai" by a well-meaning...

Do you realize what you're saying? Jude uses the title "prophet", one who hears God's Words and speaks them, to describe Enoch and his writings. Do not play games here.

Mars Hill was Paul's self-confessed "becoming all things to all men to win souls" 1 Corinthians 9:19-22--he appealed to what EVER could move them toward Christ--he wouldn't have cited those sources teaching the Church, teaching the Church he cited SCRIPTURE.

There is another Scriptural iteration of Christ as "head" to the Church that could be interpreted in the way you errantly want to insist applies to every instance of it... Colossians 2:19 ...and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its...

So... "teacher"... is the husband literally the wife's "head"? LOL Ephesians 5 22Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so...

Mary was "under Law" Galatians 4:4, alive during an epoch prior to the arrival of "the faith" Galatians 3:23, so she wasn't a "child of God" by having been "baptized into Christ" Galatians 3:26 : 1. She couldn't qualify as "New Eve", in some lesser way, based on having been part of a Church that...

Notice @theefaith, because he had no substantive answers, wanted to sidestep the Scriptural arguments I raised, and attempted to appeal to ostensible "Church authority" ("apostles")... forgetting that Christ, when He was on earth, HIMSELF had to submit to Scripture. This is the blasphemy of the...

Hope you guys are enriched by the debate. I will post some here, and you can follow up if you find it of interest.

Thanks for coming here to give me a chance to publicly dismantle the Catholic position. See ya!

Submit to Scripture.

You don't know Scripture--every honest reader (honest like @James the Rabbit, a Catholic who admitted the Scriptures taught that the Church is New Eve like was pointed out) can see that.

Stop being lawless and the mods won't be contacted.

May I add that God was married to Israel under the Old Covenant... and Jesus is the "Husband" to the People of God in the New Covenant. There's no way Jesus isn't God.

Thanks. Just as a request, do you suppose you might be able to be mindful of expressing as much as you can in a post (so as to avoid multiple one-sentence posts)? Thanks!

The Catholic, @James the Rabbit, had a strong objection--unlike the emptiness being spouted by the Roman Catholic Church "authority" (a Jesuit?) @BreadOfLife--and I didn't have the answer, but it was provided to me by God while I wasn't even thinking about it! LOL

I don't really want to get into all of these things--it's unnecessary. The direction the discussion was going in was just fine as far as I was concerned--now there will be mountains of posts no one will read through and they won't see the Catholics' views being debunked. Where does "holistic"...
