And WHAT was it that was so offensive?? That Jesus told them they had to EAT His flesh and DRINK His blood. And He told them other things that would be “offensive” to some of them like. “Love your enemies” and “Forgive those who sin against you.” Telling them to “symbolically eat” His Word...

First of all - "Comemoration" or "Remembrance" doesn't necessarily mean "Symbolic". It's a Re-presenteation of the ONCE-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We read in Scripture that although His sacrifice happened ONCE in OUR time - it is an ETERNAL sacrifice (Rom. 8:34, Rev. 5:6). We are...

That’s a silly question – and very ignorant. In every mention of a “cup” in Scripture – it is virtually ALWAYS talking about the CONTENS of the cup – and NOT the dish . . . The Passover meal was celebrated with accompanied by 4 cups. Jesus didn’t drink from the fourth cup of the Passover meal...

There is a BIG difference here between the metaphorical verses like Matt 24:36-46 and the literal language of John 6. You have to use context and common sense- not just assumptions about “metaphors”. In Matt 24:36-46 and John 4:7-15 – we don’t see doubts. We don’t see questions. We don’t see...

WRONG. Paul is talking about the Mosaic Law. - with its dietary and ceremonial ordinances. We still live under the Laws of God. We just don’t live under the stringent dietary and ceremonial Laws of Moses – with the exception of the 10 Commandments. John 14:15 If you love Me, you will keep My...

Your free will is something that never leaves you in this life. You ALWAYS have a choice and you will ALWAYS have a proclivity toward sin because of your fallen nature. Paul is crystal-clear about this in Romans 7: Rom. 7:14-25 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a...

In 1 Cor. 11:27, Paul speaks to the reality of the Eucharist and the severity of the consequences to those who take this lightly: 1 Cor. 11:27-30 “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should...

WRONG. You can’t “pluck” yourself out of anything. You can voluntarily leave, though. Jesus promises that nobody ELSE can take you away from Him. People are always blaming others for their having gone astray. You don’t get an excuse with Jesus because He promised that this couldn’t happen if...

I agree. It’s not working FOR the gift – it’s working WITH the gift. GOD created the works I do (Eph. 2:10). I simply complete them. The Scriptures assure us that we as Christians are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8). This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to...

And what does it mean to “Believe”?? It certainly doesn’t mean intellectual assent. James explains WHAT Abraham’s “faith” was - NOT just that he "believed": James 2:21-24 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his...

And NOBODY said it was. You’re purposely ignoring Biblical truth so you won’t have to agree with a Catholic. Salvation IS a gift – and it requires cooperation from us (Matt. 25:31-46, 2 Thess. 2:15, 1 Cor. 13:1-3, Gal 5:6). Salvation is a process – NOT a one-time, slam-dunk event (1 Cor. 1:8...

It absolutely does. James 2:21-22 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he DID when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made COMPLETE by what he DID. And even the DEMONS believe (James 2:!9)...

No. ONLY works that YOU do for and by your OWN will. Works that God prepared for you to complete (Eph. 2:10) cannot be evil in His sight. I used the stool as a metaphor for faith. Faith has more elements than just “belief” (1 leg). Belief, trust, surrender and works are ALL elements (legs) of...

Key word there is “Apart”. That’s what I said before . . . I know plenty of non-believers and outright atheists who would give you the shirt off their backs. Unfortunately, that means nothing without God because those are THEIR works – NOT the works HE prepared in advance as an element of...

I don't mean to butt in - bur the grace of faith requires our cooperation with that grace. We must respond to God's grace in order for it take effect on us.

Eph. 2:9-10 tells us that works ALONE are not efficacious. However, it explains that works ARE an essential element of the faith that God gives us: Eph. 2:8-10 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man...

Sooooo, where DID we get the Canon of Scripture, Einstein? Did God just drop it from the sky? OR, was it revealed through His Church as HE promised (John 16:12-15)? Time for a History Lesson . . . The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified – ALL 73 (not 66)...

Tanslation: "I can't argue my way out of this!"

WRONG again. I never judged your soul – only your actions/fruit. Whether you are ultimately saved or not is up to God – and NOT me. I can only judge what you say and do (Mat. 7:15-20). Again – I don’t care who YOU think is “saved”. It’s not YOUR call. That is determined by GOD alone . . . 1...

No – I never did. You are now resorting to LYING . . . Again – what’s up with the blatant LIES?? I never “denied” saying that you were disobedient. I believe you ARE – and that’s why you believe in the bizarre things that you do.
