I don't currently have a mullet. You can claim to be sinless if you wish. Of course, that claim is a sin in itself. Why do Catholics go to confession if they don't sin?

If you say you don't sin, you are the one not being honest.

All the Not all Protestants are Calvinists. Would we be better offto still be paying indulgences to supposedly get our loved ones out of a purgatory that never really existed?

Oh, give me a break. I'm pretty darn Orthodox in my beliefs. He's out in new age left field, where the Bible isn't even relevant, except as a tool to pervert.

You really should stop smoking that stuff and actually study your Bible.

Salvation doesn't rest on having perfect doctrine. A child can be saved who knows nothing but that he has done wrong and that Christ died for his wrongdoing.

He didn't. He was talking to the Pharisees for goodness sake. They weren't little kids. To be a child of hell is to be deserving of hell, to be awfully wicked. In Matthew 23, Jesus explains that the Pharisees and Sadducees displayed their wickedness in many ways. The Pharisees and their...

It's the internet. You have to have thick skin. If you met the same people face to face, you would probably like them. It's just that when opinions are written down in black and white, they can seem like attacks. Now, yes, some get downright insulting for no reason, but I believe most just...

You have presented zero evidence of this, and the language used gives no evidence for it and the word Trespasses isn't even used in Luke's version...so you are just claiming something that has no legitimacy.

All sins are trespasses.

Only I've already shown numerous verses that confirm the punishment is everlasting. They will not cease to exist.

So the trespasses we are to forgive are willful but the ones we are forgiven for aren't willful? The debt we owe God is paid by Christ for our sins. Not just little sins, as if such a thing exists, but all our sins. Again: in Matthew 6:12, the Greek word for “debts” is ophelilema, and it means...

There's anger that isn't sinful, but most anger is. Most anger is selfish.

Um, not really. Trespasses isn't even a good translation. Nearly all of the most credible English translations over time have translated the Greek words, opheilēma/opheiletēs, as “debts/debtors.” And that’s because in the New Testament and the Septuagint, these words almost always convey the...

Perhaps we see sin differently. The Word says that if we fail to do something we should it's sin. If I fail to pray for my kids for a few hours, even when I know they have something difficult to go through, because I'm focused on my agenda, that may be a worse sin then something more obvious...

I believe every Christian has the Holy Spirit. But, we were talking about exceptional manifestations, or at least, I was. Yes, they are often in response to great revivals, but there is a mystery there as to why these revivals happen at certain times in history and not at others. God can do as...

I find it interesting that you take the LOF to be literal fire, but don't believe it literally lasts forever as scripture claims. I tend to take the fire as non literal but I can find no reason to believe the soul doesn't last forever when the Word says it does. 2 Thessalonians 1:9 They will...

After 50 years in various churches, I believe God pours out his Spirit as he sees fit. Yes, some do great things through Him, but only through Him. And all those Spirit filled people also wax and wane in their experience and they all still sin. I wrote this about that: When we were still so...

More uncalled for insults. You know there's a lot in the Book about how you are to treat fellow believers, right? So, God calls some people for certain tasks. That has nothing to do with baptizing infants.

Total annihilation just doesn't fit with what the Word says. If that is what you are trying to teach.
