@BARNEY BRIGHT, What do you have to say to this:

In Romans 5:19, the person is made righteous; and that will remain my emphasis. Yes, it is through Christ's obedience. In dying on the Cross, He commended the Holy Spirit to the Father; who was then poured out on the early church and has dwelt in believers ever since. Through the indwelling...

I was saying that what some people believe is condemnation from the devil...is actually conviction...of judgment...from the Holy Spirit. And you don't have to say amen to this for it to be the truth.

The Holy Spirit convicts people of judgment among other things.

With that definition of born again Christian it would seem that some Christians are indeed hypocrites. It has been said, "If you don't want to be a Christian because of hypocrisy in the church; become a Christian anyway because you will only add one more hypocrite to the bunch." I believe that...

Thank you @Willie T. I just might take advantage of that link as soon as I get some extra money.

I like the TPT; but have been unable to obtain one: I have seen the way that it renders some verses in a devotional that I purchased for my wife. As for the situation with the NLT vs. the kjv, I really think that the whole concept of the grace of God being the catalyst that teaches us to deny...

Personally, I believe that having many different Bible translations has something to do with it. There is enough of a difference from translation to translation that if one person holds to one and another holds to another, the message on certain doctrines is lost in some translations and in...

It concerns the fact that you have hardened your heart against what the word of God says, in such verses as Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, and 1 John 3:7. (not sure how many times I have repeated these verses now; but perhaps if I quote them again they will break through to you): Mat 5:6, Blessed...

1Co 1:11, For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1Co 1:12, Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1Co 1:13, Is Christ divided...

Also, Jesus; as well as the other apostles (besides Paul).

Scripture gives the following warning: Heb 3:7, Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Heb 3:8, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Heb 3:9, When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty...

All of that to say that I don't need to back up my statement with documentation from official church documents... Because it should be clear that my statement is based in common knowledge.

Not exactly...I said that I believe that this is what the Catholic Church teaches. If I am wrong about that then Protestants have been right for the last four or five centuries concerning the fact that the Bible takes precedence over Catholic doctrine...it turns out that the Catholic Church has...

I said, "you are wrong..." I don't think so.

Where did I tell you that you are wrong unless you agree with me?

If Catholic doctrine doesn't take precedence over scripture, then scripture takes precedence over Catholic doctrine....and I'm happy with that conclusion.

I didn't tell you you were wrong... But if in my proclaiming the truth you came to the conclusion that what you have believed is wrong, then perhaps that conclusion is based in truth.

I encourage everyone to use their minds and reason with the LORD (Isaiah 1:18) and to be a Berean (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11) concerning anything that I might have to say to them about what is taught in the Bible. Don't take my word for anything...check it by the holy scriptures.

Okay...if you can show from the Bible that Catholic Church doctrine takes precedence over the Bible, I'm all ears.
