    Dead faith.

    You have never seen me call his church a whore or harlot either. I have refrained from doing so because it is not my ministry to deal primarily with Catholicism. But if the subject comes up, of course I will tout the regular Protestant line... That Rome does in fact have seven hills and that...

    Spotting the Heretic

    The law is written in the hearts and minds of those who are under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-10, Romans 8:7). Paul said that he himself was "under the law to Christ"...1 Corinthians 9:21. The blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) so that we can abide in Jesus (1 John...

    Spotting the Heretic

    The law is eternally existent. And Romans 4:15 is clarified by Romans 5:13. It says that "sin is not imputed where there is no law." This is the more accurate reflection. We all have indwelling sin; for that is the teaching of holy scripture. Transgression is to violate a standard. Where...

    Dead faith.

    That has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Why would you suddenly accuse the Lord of having a root of bitterness just because the subject of "root of bitterness" has been brought up? That there is such a thing as a root of bitterness and that it has the capacity to defile many is a...

    Spotting the Heretic

    The scripture has concluded all under sin (including those who are not under the law but under grace).

    Spotting the Heretic

    Apparently, you think that John was teaching heresy when he wrote the verse. At the very least, you think that people who believe the verse believe in heresy. Go figure, the Bible to you is not completely inspired and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness.

    Dead faith.

    @BreadOfLife, It appears that you have some kind of root of bitterness. I will leave you alone from now on. Heb 12:15, Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

    Spotting the Heretic

    That is not my ministry...my ministry is to teach God's word and to not leave any portion of His word out of my teaching, as you do. You are in fact a sinner; for the scripture has concluded all under sin. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. If we say that we have no sin, we...

    Healthy Relating....What does it consist of?

    Romans 2 does not have the unadulterated gospel; Romans 3 has it more accurately. Romans 2 has logic leading up to the reality of the gospel.

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    I reported him. I ws going to say this also, but @Behold beat me to it.

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Lovely... Let me make it clear that I do not have an ounce of Catholicism in me.

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    In context, Jesus is saying that His personal ministry was not to Gentiles. Yes, this applies to all of us; while we know from other scripture that the Holy Spirit would be sent to minister to Gentiles.

    Spotting the Heretic

    Yes you are, "mate"... The blood of Jesus sanctifies us (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7) so that we abide in Him (1 John 3:6) for ever (1 John 2:17).

    Works

    It is true that works don't play any role in our salvation. They are the outworking of a genuine faith; but they don't save us to any degree. Works do not play a role in our salvation...they are the outworking of a genuine faith; but they don't save us to any degree. As hard as it may be...

    Perhaps Diotrephes was the first Pope.

    Dead faith.

    Catholic no longer means Universal; because there are many Protestants who are not a part of the Catholic Church who nevertheless have faith in Jesus Christ, and are born again/saved. These are by definition members of the body of Christ.

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    By all means, don't tithe yourself....but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD; by tithing 1/10 of our gross every month (as well as other obediences).

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    All of those things are indeed the gospel. It remains that the Holy Ghost is promised to those who will fulfill the condition for the promise, in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39.

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    2Sa 12:21, Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 2Sa 12:2, And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can...
