    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    The disembodied SOUS of the saints are already in Heaven (Rev. 6:9). At Christ’s Return, they will be reunited sith their bodies, now glorified (1 Thess 4:13-17). WRONG. As I already educated you, Rev. 6 shows the disembodied souls of the martyrs in Heaven awaiting fellow martyrs. Rev. 6:9...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    And a “no-show” means the invited guest changed his mind . . . At the Last Supper, Jesus told the Apostles – the first Bishops of the Church - that the Holy Spirit would “guide you into ALL TRURH” (John 16:13). This is how a group og Biships and a Pope were ab;le to declare the Canon of...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    You completely ignore the verses that indicate that works are an essential element of what “Faith” is (Eph. 10:8-10, 1 Cor. 13:1-3, Gal. 5-6, James 2:14-24). ALL of the guarantees and assurances you listed above are conditional on endurance or FAITH (Matt. 24:13, 1 Cor. 9:24, Gal. 6:9, Heb...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Never said I was. He gave us ALL a free will. But people like YOU think that God is a cosmic rapist who needs to force His love on us. We are free to love and trust Him – and we are free to walk away from Him – just like the Prodigal Son. We are also free to return to Him in repentance – again...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Unnmm, YOU said: “That is just the beauty of it.....none of us will know until the end, when the hammer falls and judgment has been made” I said that this is NOT security. Security is having some assurance of salvation YOUR vision is that our eternity is just a crapshoot – a “we’ll see”...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    According to the Bible, you CAN lose your salvation . NOT because God took it “away” from you – but by your OWN doing. There is not a SINGLE verse in Scripture that says all of our future sins are forgiven without repenting of them (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    WRONG. Paul teaches that there are TWO kinds of works: 1. Works that YOU do for yourself. These are the works that merit nothing and are are like filthy rags (Isa. 64:6, Eph. 2:9). 2. Works that GOD created for you to do for HIS glory. These are the works that are an essential element of...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    You can certainly turb your back on his grace by sinning with impunity. Did you learn NOTHING from the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)? He had everything that was his fathers – yet he turned his back on him. His security was restored ONLY after he repented.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    This is not only an abomination - but an appalling lack of understanding of God’s grace. When we come to Christ in repentance – we are forgiven for ALL of our PAST sibs, We are NOT forgiven for future sins unless we repent of them. We don’t get to just “sin with impunity” because we belong to...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    He’s NOT talking about denominations or groups here. The warning is to INCIVIDUALS who are not prepared. Those individuals can be within His true Church and NOT just those outside of it. They can be YOUR friend and family members – or mine. And this “amazing Book” was NOT available to...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    And you still haven’t answered the question . . . What a frightening prospect – and a dangerous way to live. That’s NOT security – it’s a crapshoot. It’s just throwing caution to the wins. Instead of everybody doing things their OWN way and flying by the seat of their pants – why not just do...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    RE-READ post #268 where I explained in great detail that Jesus was NOT speaking metaphorically – and even used hyperbole to drive His point across. Compare that with the verses YOU posted like John 10:7, John 15:1, etc., where He says it once and doesn’t belabor the point, as He does in John 6.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Nope. The Catholic Church does NOT teach this fallacy. This is yet another anti-Catholic invention . . .

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Thanks for another non-response . . . To name a few - the following sources state that there are anywhere from 33,000 to 45,000 Protestant denominations: - World Christian Encyclopedia: A Comparative Survey of Churches and Religions in the Modern World, by David B. Barrett, 1982, Oxford...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    You are purposely DODGING the question by deflecting onto the Catholic Church. I didn’t ask you to debunk MY beliefs – especially since you got MOST of it wrong anyway. I asked you the following question about the thousands of personal interpretations among non-Catholics: How do you know that...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    The answer should be obvious. A medical specialist isn’t going to dispense with the truth in another area of medicine just because they know a lot about ONE thing. The rest of the truth cannot be tossed aside. Besides – that kind of theological “specialist” would be in danger of knowing more and...

    If that's what you got out of my last post - then, you're either kidding or just dishonest . . .

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    I believe that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the last several posts. I’ve laid out a Biblical case for the Catholic position on the Eucharist. We believe the Eucharist to be Christ - Body Blood, Soul and Divinity.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    WRONG - Jesus never said that. What He said was that "Nobody" can pluck YOU out of HIS hand. Correct. NOBODY can pluck you out of His hand. But YOU can jump out of His hand . . . (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor...
