Is your source concerning this a gift of prophecy? Or, do you have a biblical basis for your dates and times?

I have indeed created my own thread. It is a commentary on Romans. I go back and post in it from time to time (will post a link shortly). I don't create a million threads; but I tend to post in my Romans thread the teaching of the Lord concerning scripture as I go through it verse by verse...

Yes indeed; it is the foolishness of preaching.

I have had two angelic visits in human form but for personal reasons I refrain from sharing the details (they would be embarrassing to someone in my family). I also, often, see points of light that appear before my eyes as I am just laying there thinking; and, believing them to be angels, I...

So, Abraham has whereof to glory (before men) and is justified before man, because of works done apart from faith? (Clearly, Abraham was justified by works period and not works done apart from faith; however this justification was before man and not God.) Realize, my friend, that scripture...

1 John 1:8 declares that we all have indwelling sin. But that indwelling sin does not have to rule over me (Romans 6:14); because it can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:25, Romans 7:8, Romans 8:12-13). Those who are abiding in Christ "sin not" (1 John 3:6). And those who are born of...

So, was her mother before her also immaculately conceived? How is it that sin was not passed down to Mary from the original sin of Adam? I can see how Jesus can be immaculately conceived...because His Father is God the Father...and sin and the blood DNA is passed down through the father...

I think that if I cannot interpret scripture correctly, then you cannot interpret the Catechism of the Catholic Church correctly. And that neither can you interpret correctly any explanations that might be given to you by a priest concerning the correct interpretation of the Catechism.

You can know that you know that you know that you are saved even in this life. John 5:24 bears out that if you "hear Jesus' words and believe on Him who sent Him" you "have everlasting life", "shall not come into condemnation", and, "have passed from death into life." Consider that the first...

Hope in scripture actually denotes a sure expectation....and I believe that the whole of Randy's post did bear that out, if I remember it correctly. As for Christians knowing that they are saved, I believe that there is a biblical case that can be made for such a thing. For example, Romans...

I think that this doctrine that you are purporting represents a stronghold of the enemy. I think that because of it you somehow believe that salvation is by works and that everyone is redeemed universally. But both salvation and redemption are by faith in Jesus Christ...they are one and the...

Redemption and salvation are synonymous terms.

The law is given to show mankind that he is a sinner (Romans 3:20). When a person comes to a living and saving faith in Jesus Christ, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in his heart (Romans 5:5); and the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in him (Romans 8:4); in that love is the fulfilling...

We do not keep His commandments in order to be in Him. We keep His commandments because we are in Him. And we are in Him because of faith alone in Him alone. "Ye must be born again." Doing good works to obtain salvation is to earn salvation; and the reward is not in this reckoned as grace...

No, my friend. Salvation / the righteousness of God is by faith in the beginning, by faith in the end, and by faith all the way through (Romans 1:17). We enter into salvation by faith (Romans 5:2). We are then commanded to continue our salvation in the same manner that we started it in...

It remains that those fornicators who will inherit the kingdom of God are "fornicators no more..." Whether this came about through repenting of fornication as a prelude to placing faith in Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross or whether the fornicator ceases to be one because he is...

Of course He isn't... However, in coming to earth to die on a Cross to save humanity, this appears to be foolishness to many. And Paul says that it is indeed foolishness. But God is so wise that He is able to take a foolish action and turn it into the salvation of mankind. Think for a...

Sorry to keep repeating scripture, but...God imputeth righteousness without works...To him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness...Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but by his mercy he has saved us, through the...

@Joseph77? Did you suddenly put me on Ignore again? How convenient for you so that you don't have to answer my question!

It specifically mentions the "foolishness of God". 1Co 1:25, Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
