    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    He broke it; and they wanted to kill Him because of it.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    In those days, the Catholic Church still held a certain sway over even Protestant doctrine.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Where have I done this before? (use the quote feature) No; but by exalting her to the position of co-redeemer as Catholic doctrine does today. As Protestants we acknowledge that Mary said clearly that from henceforth all generations would call her blessed (for it is in the Bible; and as...

    True Trinity.

    @JustAskin, @bbyrd009 often plays the devil's advocate here and whether he is really a believer or not some of us cannot really tell. But you should know that I read through all of the epistles once a week; through all of the gospels, Acts, and Revelation once a month; through Psalms and...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Indeed, John 19:25 says this: Jhn 19:25, Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. We can determine that the comma between "his mother's sister" and "Mary the wife of Cleophas" indicates that these are two separate...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    You don't have to get saved over and over again every Sunday. How much better to say it as a one-time prayer and then go live the life that Christ wants you to live; by faith and not by sight! Jhn 2:4, Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come...

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it?

    If you are preaching that a man is not justified by keeping the law, then we are in agreement. Then we are in agreement. Of course, being born again of the Holy Spirit will produce in the believer a changed life (2 Corinthians 5:17). Is this a perfect keeping of the law? Or, do we continue...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    These words seem to indicate to me that you believe that Jesus is not risen. I suggest that you pray the following prayer, aloud, not caring who hears you (for if you are ashamed of Him and His words, He will be ashamed of you): Dear Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I call upon Your name for...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    If you do not believe that Jesus is risen from the dead, then you are not saved (currently going to heaven if you die): Rom 10:8, But what saith it <the righteousness of faith>? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom 10:9...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Jesus is risen from the dead. However, the bodies of the saints you are seeking help from have not: 1Th 4:13, But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1Th 4:14, For if we believe that Jesus died...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    In the latter part of what you are saying, you are referring to those who believe the word of God. For it is written in it: Jhn 3:1, There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: Jhn 3:2, The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Sounds like a bunch of insults to me... Mat 3:8, Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Mat 3:9, And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Mat 3:10, And now also the...

    2 Timothy 3:15 (kjv). Scripture?

    True Trinity.

    Not ok. Jesus is YAH. You must know that if anyone doesn't believe that Jesus is the great I AM (YAH), they will die in their sins. Therefore, it is an essential of the faith and you cannot call yourself a real Christian without it. Indeed He is. For YAH speaks to us throughout the pages...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    1Jo 4:1, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1Jo 4:2, Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 1Jo 4:3, And every spirit...

    What Is Love?

    Of course, if you know the truth of a matter and bring correction to someone who is in error; who then thinks that you are in rivalry with him; then you are not truly in any kind of rivalry but are walking in obedience to the following scripture: 2Ti 4:2, Preach the word; be instant in season...

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it?

    You did. Yes, they are exact opposites. Therefore in your belief that justification is not retained without obedience, you are claiming that justification is attained or maintained by it. I would contend that it is not obedience that obtains and/or maintains our salvation; but that it is our...

    True Trinity.

    They don't teach us that we are not to worship Jesus because He is our High Priest. Unless you can quote it out and give commentary so that I can understand your point...

    What Is Love?

    According to Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time and a place for everything. 1 Corinthians 5 shows forth that there was a time and a place for ostracizing people who were steeped in sin. There was also a time and a place to restore that same brother in 2 Corinthians 2 (the scriptures brought up by...

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it?

    Obviously this is an Adventist thread, so you can make this case here. If it were a Oneness thread, then I could make a case that the SDA people are disunified with the rest of those who disagree with Oneness doctrine. Because all of us are not of one kind of church who are dealing with you...
