JOHN 3:16 REVISED "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting, happy, joyful, wonderful, sublime, awesome, off-the-chain, cracker-lackin' chillaxin' COMFORT life." John 3:16 (Apparently God got it all...

I disagree with "thought for thought" Dynamic Equvalence methodology - creates room for a spin zone. That's why the KJV translators stuck to Formal Equivalence and Verbal Equivalence.

Friend, you're basing your "immortal soul" idea on three or four texts that you either misinterpret or fail to see are figurative. How do I know? Please answer whether the following texts line up with what you say or what I say about what happens when we die: The dead don't know anything...

Kepha, yes or no will suffice. BTW, it is utterly impossible that MY Bible is based on YOUR church, for YOUR church would never have written a book which exposes the Papacy as the Antichrist, which is the case with MY Bible.

Of course the comparisons correspond. Scripture does not treat the soul as an "offspring" at all. Not one verse.

Really, I am truly interested to know if the RCC considers me a lost heretic for my beliefs, seeing that they have claimed in the past that one such as me most certainly is lost. Have they changed their position on the issue?

Seriously? You might be interested to know that all the modern versions of the Bible are based upon only minuscule fraction of all the ancient MSS that exist today, something like 5 out of every 1,000, according to the Dean Burgon Society. These ancient MSS have been the subject of massive...

Kerwin, let's start from the ground and work our way up: Light Bulb + Electric Current = Light comes into existence ...consequently, Light Bulb - Electric Current = Light goes out of existence OK, what would happen if you argued that the Light continues to exist after the electric current is...

That's nice. The problem is that nowhere in the Bible does it say it is the only authority of God on earth. Bible alone theology was invented by Martin Luther. It is an illogical, unworkable, unbiblical false tradition of men. I don't know that comes from. "Vicar" means ambassador or servant...

Tom, you're the one who is lying. This is what your church claims: Extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So, my Antichrist worshiping friend, own up to it and dispense with your lies.

What about those of us who reject Catholicism and the authority of the Pope, not by virtue of having been raised in the Protestant tradition which leaves me "blinded to RCC truth", but because we believe the Papacy is the Antichrist of Bible prophecy, as depicted in the texts of the infallible...

The Bible declares by the mouth of Stephen and Solomon that "ghosts" return to the God who gave them, not to "non-physical torment", and the same Bible makes not even the slightest intimation of your idea, but thanks anyway for your thoughts. I hope you would one day consider that the Rich Man...

OK, fair enough. I stated that no one under the Old Covenant was saved by works, but by grace through faith, and that their obligatory sacrifices were not the means by which they obtained salvation, but were merely the demonstrated outward evidence of their inward faith. OLD TESTAMENT PROOF...

Isn't it true that the official position of the Papacy is that "there is no salvation apart from Christ and His holy, apostolic Catholic church"? As a Protestant who recognizes the Bible - my "paper Pope" - as the only authority of God on Earth, and His Holy Spirit as Christ's only Vicar on...

Just a reminder that the same ancient wisdom of Israel you are relying on to interpret Luke 16 is the same wisdom that led them to stand before Jesus and cry, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" We are not to place the wisdom of others above the Bible - the Bible is the test. Of the four words...

It occurred to me some time ago that the most fearful curse in all the Bible is found in Revelation 14 - God's warning of what will happen to those who accept the Mark of the Beast. How sadistic of God would it be if He pronounced such a warning and then so concealed the identity of this Beast...

I sure do, and sorry if I failed to acknowledge that. I'm just giving reasons I believe Dispensationalism should be wholly rejected, whatever flavor of the week it may be because they all incorporate a Jesuit Futurist version of eschatology. But also, take the "age of law" versus the "age of...

You can lead a horse to water. If you don't think that 300 solid years of Protestant theology identifying the Antichrist as the religious system in Rome is worth investigating, especially since the RCC is responsible for the popular idea today about Antichrist being just one man, then keep on...

I. Jesus' use of Symbolism does not make Him a false teacher: The only way Jesus would be a false teacher is if He meant to teach the account of Luke 16 as a LITERAL, but His use of SYMBOLISM is both prevalent and legitimate throughout His ministry. The only way this passage can be accepted as...

You should know that proponents of the "immortal soul" doctrine insist that this is NOT a parable, for they know full well that it is a violation of the Laws of Hermeneutics to base a doctrine on an uninterpreted parable. Therefore, they insist that this is a LITERAL story in which two literal...
