    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    From you! If believing something that a Roman Catholic believes makes it inherently wrong, you cannot possibly be in agreement, or close in agreement with Roman Catholicism on the Trinity and not impugn yourself!

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    Option #3 is an impossible interpretation. It is an invention designed by people who want their unbiblical sin-and-win theology. EVERYTHING John writes in this Epistle is against sin, against the existence of it in anyone who would call themselves a Christian. The argument you float is just a...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    So, you deny the Trinity! Sad.

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    Rhetoric is usually in the present tense. According to your view, the present tense would prove one of two things: 1). John and all his listeners have never been cleansed of their sins, and are therefore, not Christians. 2). John's was present tense speaking to the Gnostics in that church...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    Tell me, how many Christians do you know that they never had any sin that they would need the atonement of Christ for? You are correct; if John did not ever believe that he had sins that he needed to be cleansed of (verses 7 and 9), then by his own admission he is no Christian! If 1 Jn. 1:8...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    The "problem is" that you do not believe that God is able to keep you from falling; that God does not really care if you sin! The "Problem" is when people deny the Bible and elevate their failures and personal experience to a level above what God says. Their theology forces them to twist the...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    Will you believe the Scriptures? Will you believe that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to save us from our sins? (1 Jn. 3:8, Matt. 1:21). That he who sins is of the devil? (1 Jn. 3:9-10). That we are commanded, "Be ye holy, for I am holy"; not, try to be holy? (1 Peter 1:15,16)...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    You can take people to 1 Jn. 1:8 all day long. If they are Christians, it has no application to them at all! You can take people to a single wrenched verse, I can take people to hundreds that say that Christians are to be holy, that sin is incompatible with saving faith... and I have the entire...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    The answer: You are defending sin! I don’t know how much plainer God can make it! The wages of sin is death! Wages are what we earn. In life, we work for wages on a job, which gives us money. In the spiritual realm, God says that we earn spiritual wages. “His servants ye are to whom ye obey...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    You can squawk the name of Jesus over and over to defend living in sin, but such a Jesus is what Paul calls "another Jesus" that is not the One that is in the Bible. It's not so much that Christians are trying to finish, but that it is clear in Scripture that God is trying to finish His will in...

    Salvation by a better education, special Gnosis... that's not Bible!
  13. Candidus

    What Changed?

    Salvation is a crisis, not a process. What I mean is, everyone that is saved gets saved in a moment, in a fraction of time they step out of the darkness and into the light. They are on their way to Hell one moment, and a moment later they are on their way to Heaven. You are a Christian or you...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    The Bible is against sin from cover to cover, and it is also an astonishing religious book in that it shows the frailties and failures of people that are of that faith. The first lie in the Bible is the lie that you can sin and not die spiritually. Why should the devil change a lie that people...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    David was lost for at least 9 months until his son was born. David was only a man after God's own heart in his repentance; not his sin.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    Notice that a door does not sound like cannibalism! If it's not spiritual, then they were right to walk away!

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    Who are "they" that Ignatius is railing against? Answer: The Gnostics. The Gnostics did not accept that Jesus ever was actually "in the flesh." If Jesus was never in the Flesh... then what meaning could possibly be in saying: "This is my Body, broken for you." J.L. Neve, A History of...

    Good for you! A Toilet Paper Millionaire! You are a wise person that could see bad days coming and are responsible enough to care for yourself and your family. Sadly, some people will be angry that you made an effort to prepare when they didn't. Please don't torture people with SPAM! No one is...

    Your denial and obstinance is not an argument. I will stop wasting everybody's time with further responses. The proof is posted, it is irrefutable.
