In 1 Cor. 11:27, Paul speaks to the reality of the Eucharist and the severity of the consequences to those who take this lightly: 1 Cor. 11:27-30 “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should...

WRONG. You can’t “pluck” yourself out of anything. You can voluntarily leave, though. Jesus promises that nobody ELSE can take you away from Him. People are always blaming others for their having gone astray. You don’t get an excuse with Jesus because He promised that this couldn’t happen if...

I agree. It’s not working FOR the gift – it’s working WITH the gift. GOD created the works I do (Eph. 2:10). I simply complete them. The Scriptures assure us that we as Christians are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8). This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to...

And what does it mean to “Believe”?? It certainly doesn’t mean intellectual assent. James explains WHAT Abraham’s “faith” was - NOT just that he "believed": James 2:21-24 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his...

And NOBODY said it was. You’re purposely ignoring Biblical truth so you won’t have to agree with a Catholic. Salvation IS a gift – and it requires cooperation from us (Matt. 25:31-46, 2 Thess. 2:15, 1 Cor. 13:1-3, Gal 5:6). Salvation is a process – NOT a one-time, slam-dunk event (1 Cor. 1:8...

It absolutely does. James 2:21-22 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he DID when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made COMPLETE by what he DID. And even the DEMONS believe (James 2:!9)...

No. ONLY works that YOU do for and by your OWN will. Works that God prepared for you to complete (Eph. 2:10) cannot be evil in His sight. I used the stool as a metaphor for faith. Faith has more elements than just “belief” (1 leg). Belief, trust, surrender and works are ALL elements (legs) of...

Key word there is “Apart”. That’s what I said before . . . I know plenty of non-believers and outright atheists who would give you the shirt off their backs. Unfortunately, that means nothing without God because those are THEIR works – NOT the works HE prepared in advance as an element of...

I don't mean to butt in - bur the grace of faith requires our cooperation with that grace. We must respond to God's grace in order for it take effect on us.

Eph. 2:9-10 tells us that works ALONE are not efficacious. However, it explains that works ARE an essential element of the faith that God gives us: Eph. 2:8-10 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man...

Sooooo, where DID we get the Canon of Scripture, Einstein? Did God just drop it from the sky? OR, was it revealed through His Church as HE promised (John 16:12-15)? Time for a History Lesson . . . The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified – ALL 73 (not 66)...

Tanslation: "I can't argue my way out of this!"

WRONG again. I never judged your soul – only your actions/fruit. Whether you are ultimately saved or not is up to God – and NOT me. I can only judge what you say and do (Mat. 7:15-20). Again – I don’t care who YOU think is “saved”. It’s not YOUR call. That is determined by GOD alone . . . 1...

No – I never did. You are now resorting to LYING . . . Again – what’s up with the blatant LIES?? I never “denied” saying that you were disobedient. I believe you ARE – and that’s why you believe in the bizarre things that you do.

No – I never did. You are now resorting to LYING . . . Again – what’s up with the blatant LIES?? I never “denied” saying that you were disobedient. I believe you ARE – and that’s why you believe in the bizarre things that you do. No – Jesus didn’t say that. He left it open for...

No - it's just that He NEVER said to hold ONLY to that which was written down. He also never stated that AL would be revealed in writing . . . But he DID say that to the Thessalonians and the Corinthians. Was he just "kidding"?? That was "A" tradition - not ALL Oral Tradition. You have a...

I've never mnade that statement. Again - you are bearing FALSE witness . . .

And WHO is making that claim? Certainly NOT me. What I DID say was that Paul was differentiating between the two in 2 Thess. 2:15 and placing them ON PAR with each other. And why do you keep repeating the SAME thought about the one who does not work should not eat? That wasn;t the ONLY thing...

That is an ignorant statement. Oral Tradition is just that - ORAL. It wouldn't be wriitten doen in Scripture. Paul was telling them that they shgoul;d hold fast to everything that wasa written as well as what was spoken ORALLY.

I've NEVER said this - nor do I believe it. Why are you bearing false witness?
