WRONG. Paul teaches that there are TWO kinds of works: 1. Works that YOU do for yourself. These are the works that merit nothing and are are like filthy rags (Isa. 64:6, Eph. 2:9). 2. Works that GOD created for you to do for HIS glory. These are the works that are an essential element of...

You can certainly turb your back on his grace by sinning with impunity. Did you learn NOTHING from the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)? He had everything that was his fathers – yet he turned his back on him. His security was restored ONLY after he repented.

This is not only an abomination - but an appalling lack of understanding of God’s grace. When we come to Christ in repentance – we are forgiven for ALL of our PAST sibs, We are NOT forgiven for future sins unless we repent of them. We don’t get to just “sin with impunity” because we belong to...

He’s NOT talking about denominations or groups here. The warning is to INCIVIDUALS who are not prepared. Those individuals can be within His true Church and NOT just those outside of it. They can be YOUR friend and family members – or mine. And this “amazing Book” was NOT available to...

And you still haven’t answered the question . . . What a frightening prospect – and a dangerous way to live. That’s NOT security – it’s a crapshoot. It’s just throwing caution to the wins. Instead of everybody doing things their OWN way and flying by the seat of their pants – why not just do...

RE-READ post #268 where I explained in great detail that Jesus was NOT speaking metaphorically – and even used hyperbole to drive His point across. Compare that with the verses YOU posted like John 10:7, John 15:1, etc., where He says it once and doesn’t belabor the point, as He does in John 6.

Nope. The Catholic Church does NOT teach this fallacy. This is yet another anti-Catholic invention . . .

Thanks for another non-response . . . To name a few - the following sources state that there are anywhere from 33,000 to 45,000 Protestant denominations: - World Christian Encyclopedia: A Comparative Survey of Churches and Religions in the Modern World, by David B. Barrett, 1982, Oxford...

You are purposely DODGING the question by deflecting onto the Catholic Church. I didn’t ask you to debunk MY beliefs – especially since you got MOST of it wrong anyway. I asked you the following question about the thousands of personal interpretations among non-Catholics: How do you know that...

The answer should be obvious. A medical specialist isn’t going to dispense with the truth in another area of medicine just because they know a lot about ONE thing. The rest of the truth cannot be tossed aside. Besides – that kind of theological “specialist” would be in danger of knowing more and...

If that's what you got out of my last post - then, you're either kidding or just dishonest . . .

I believe that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the last several posts. I’ve laid out a Biblical case for the Catholic position on the Eucharist. We believe the Eucharist to be Christ - Body Blood, Soul and Divinity.

WRONG - Jesus never said that. What He said was that "Nobody" can pluck YOU out of HIS hand. Correct. NOBODY can pluck you out of His hand. But YOU can jump out of His hand . . . (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor...

In post #268, I painstakingly went over the repeated words of Jesus in John 6 to illustrate that He was NOT speaking symbolically or metaphorically. I compared it to the symbolic verses YOU referenced (John 10:7, John 15:1, 1 Cor. 10:4, Rev. 17:9) to make mu case. All YOU can do in reply is to...

continued . . . That is a LIE. Jesus NEVER said this. Time for a Bible Lesson . . . Jesus said: Matt. 6:7 “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Does this mean that God hates repetitious prayers? in...

No - what muddies the waters are all of the mindless, individual interpretations of Scripture. THIS is why we have tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines - yet ALL claim to have been “led” to this confusion by the Holy...

This argument falls FLAT with the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6 . . . Jesus hammers the point over and over: “Unless you EAT my flesh and DRINK my blood” “My flesh is TRUE FOOD and my blood is TRUE DINK” John even goes so far as to repeatedly use the word “Trogon” – the way an animal rips...

God doesn’t “take back” anything. It’s NOT that difficult to understand, For example – I give you a gift for your birthday. It’s yours and I will never demand it back from you. However, one day you lose interest in it and sell it. Like any other gift - salvation can be discarded. His PLAN...

Please show me where the Bible states: “This is an emblem of my body.” “This is a symbol of my blood.” Chapter and Verse, please . . . You see, in MY Bible, Jesus says: This IS my body This IS my blood (Matt. 26:26–28, Mark 14:22–24, Luke 22:19–20, 1 Cor. 11:23–25)
