What point? The idea that WE can reject God has been my position all along. And I never said that God rejects us.

NOT according to some of the earliest Church documents. Ignatius of Antioch - a student of the Apostle John and a FIRST century Bishop wrote in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans: Ignatius of Antioch "Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your...

On the contrary - -there is no evidence that Mary had any other children. Luke 2:7 says that Mary gave birth to her “Firstborn”. In Jewish culture, the term “firstborn” simply means, “he who opens the womb”. It does NOT imply that there are other children. Matt. 13:55-56 & Mark 6:30 mention a...

There's no such thing as "Romanism". It's just an ignorant and derogatory term use be people who don't know any better . . .

Just as the Father rejoices whenever WE return in repentance. The point is that the son rejected the Father, his home and his legacy. The idea that we can’t reject God because we’re Christians is unbiblical.

Ever hear of the Parable of the Prodigal Son? He walked away from his secure position – and later returned in repentance when things got bad. Why did Jesus teach this parable? To show the forgiveness of God – when we repent from turning our back on Him Matt. 5:13 You are the salt of the earth...

I am a Catholic, which IS the "real" Church. What is "Romanism"?

And in the end, the Greek word used here in James 1:27 (thrace-ki'-ah) goes far beyond helping widows and orphans – or ANY other good work. It’s about how we worship God. It’s about worship, discipline and observance.

YOU only read what you WANT to read and dismiss the rest. James 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. YOUR problrm id that you cherry-pick Scripture and ignore the...

The Bible is NOT easily discernable for everyone. If it was – there wouldn’t be tens of thousands of different Protestant denominations and quasi-Christian sects that ALL teach different doctrines who ALL claim they were “led” by the Hoy Spirit to this confusion. 2 Pet. 1:19 “… knowing this...

WRONG. Like I said - inventing your own definitions is your downfall. According to the BIBLE, which is the written Word of God - Religion means: tηρεσκεια (thrace-ki'-ah) 1) religious worship 1a) that which consists of ceremonies 1a1) religious discipline, ceremonial observance: religion...

Then you don’t know your Bible very well . . . Scripture tells us that the CHURCH is God’s mouthpiece on earth (Matt. 16:19, Matt. 18:18, John 16L12-15, Luke 10:16). Sola Scriptura is a Protestant fairy tale invented in the 16th century. The Beroeans weren’t Sola Scripturists. They were...

WRONG. YOU just don't like that word Christinity IS a religion. The fact that YOU invnt your own definitions is irrelevant. As I already posted in referenvce to James 1:27, the Greek word for Religion is τηρεσκεια (thrace-ki'-ah) and is defined as: 1) religious worship 1a) that which consists...

Ahhh, I see where the confusion started. You responded to something that @Behold posted. Got it. However, you did claim that religion was nothing more than the works that grow from faith - when it is actually what we believe. Some people (not you) wrongly assert that religion is some sort...

The Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox are NOT part of the Catholic Church, Einstein . . . Paul is talking about being unequally yoked – and NOT about replacing paganism with Christianity. LEARN how to read God’s Word in its proper CONTEXT . . . It’s NOT just changing the name. It is replacing...

And that was never my issue. I couldn’t care less what you think of the Catholic Church. I objected to YOUR statement that the Church was “Destroyed”. You need to re-think that heresy . . . Again – this is coming from a person who denies the deity of Christ and relegates Him as a created...

That’s interesting, because in post #37 – YOU defined religion as something totally different: “Religion is always a barrier between God and man.” The Greek word for Religion is τηρεσκεια (thrace-ki'-ah) and is defined as: 1) religious worship 1a) that which consists of ceremonies 1a1)...

Spiritually dead to SIN - not physically dead. Read again: “… our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with”. Were YOU literally crucified? NO – we were spiritually crucified with Christ, making us dead to SIN – not physically dead. We’re still here...

Paul is talking about being spiritually dead to sin - not physically dead: Rom. 6:5-7 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

WRONG. Rev. 14:11 – “Torture forever” Βασανισμοσ – To torture Αιον - Perpetuity of time, Eternity Matthew 25:46 - “Eternal Punishment” Αιονιοσ - without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will Κολασισ - correction, punishment Rom. 6:5-7 For we know that our old self was...
