    It's about "relationship"...right?

    Not sure what Bible you're reading. MY Bible has Paul saying he "keeps his body under" and brings it "into submission" lest after he preaches the Gospel, he winds up a castaway bound for hell.

    The Divine Exchange

    Why must we "strive" against sin if opposition to sin is, as you suggest, a cakewalk? Why must we "endure to the end" widespread iniquity's attempt to kill our "agape" if we're impervious to it? If our perfect Savior struggled against sin in the Garden, should not we expect His imperfect...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Look, I'm going to post a verse that should settle this once and for all: Deuteronomy 4:13 KJV "And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, EVEN TEN COMMANDMENTS; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." The catechisms eliminated the 2nd forbidding the...

    Amen amen! Christians seem to think we check our free will at the church door when we walk in - not the case.

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    OK, but remember works don't save us or condemn us, just evidence if we are saved or lost...which makes me question the spritiual condition of those who fight against obeying God's commandments.

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    And on that we agree.

    If that were the case, we wouldn't be struggling to be holy, we'd be struggling to sin. As difficult as it is for us to choose to obey, that's how difficult it was for Adam to choose to sin...and what likely put him over the top was the knowledge that Eve would one day die and he couldn't bear...

    COMPARE SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE 1) To be "cast away" is to have God's holy Spirit taken away: "CAST me not AWAY from Thy presence and take not Thy holy Spirit from me". 2) A person without God's Spirit does not belong to God: "If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His."...

    The Ten Commandments. The Catholic church has REMOVED the 2nd commandment forbidding the bowing down to images, because they know millions of sincere Catholic faithful bow down and pray to them - the toes of Peter in St. Peter's Basilica have been totally kissed away after centuries of sincere...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Isn't counting them enough for us? If you start at "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage..." ("Egypt" being a "type" to its "antitype" which is the bondage of sin), you'll find a total of 10 which follow. They are the "Law of...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    "Then the (Reformation) Bible, that serpent which with head erect and eyes flashing as it trails upon the ground, shall be changed into a rod as soon as we are able to seize it. For THREE centuries past (from Luther until 19th century before the soon discovery of their "champion" - the CT), this...

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    I'm pretty sure I fully addressed whatever nonsense you postulated, seeing you courtyard baby Christians are still spitting up the milk of the word.

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    Which brand of sloppy agape, greasy grace to you preach? The one which says the saint can't be lost after he's saved? Or, the Triple Threat Gospel patented by Charles Stanley which speaks of the "Sinner", the "Saint" and the "Carnal Saint"?

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    I didn't read any of this. What I want is to be disproven concerning the following: Christ's end time church will be IDENTICAL to the one He founded in the beginning, and keep the same "commandments of God" which He kept and taught in the beginning, according to Revelation 12:17 KJV...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Who said? I can show you example after example where God declared Israel "no more" His people, but showed mercy after they repented. But, we're supposed to believe Catholicism is immune to the same punishment? I assure you, Catholicism dragged Christ's church off the deep end and is no more...

    We resurrect the old man of sin each time we fail to "reckon him dead". When we reckon him "still alive and raring to go", there he is. Once our minds are aware of our spiritual amnesia, we're to "bring it into submission" by crucifying again the old man. It never fails to amaze me how the...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    You're clearly, desperately intent on ignoring what's plain to see: that Jesus wasn't merely claiming to be older than Abraham, because if He did, He would have said, "Before Abraham was, I WAS". I love the fact that my Creator, my Everlasting Father, my Mighty God Jesus Christ said "I AM" and...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Never was there more a logical statement descriptive of the practices of the willfully ignorant - time and time again, what they can't twist or distort into unrecognizability, they simply pretend ain't there. For instance, the Gospel prophet plainly says in an apocalyptic passage concerning the...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Your entire argument is predicated on "I AM" as meaning "I WILL". However, "tell the children of Israel the "I AM" ("HAYA") hath sent thee" incorporates the translations: to exist, be in existence to abide, remain, continue (with word of place or time) to stand, lie, be in, be at, be...
