Enoch illustrates the godless need of fundamentalists who don't know Greek to mindlessly pontificate on what Greek words mean, using outdated and linguistically incompentence concordances to compensate for their ignorance. the massive articles of the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament...

Enoch111: "Since the Catholic Church has made the papacy its key doctrine," Nope! Enoch: "...then logic and commonsense demand that Peter be shown to be "THE bishop" of Rome in the Bible." "Bishop" just means 'overseer and obviously Peter would have been the highest authority in the Roman...

Fundamentalists here are blissfully ignorant of Greek and Aramaic and so they understandably have no answer to the detailed biblcal exegesis provided in post for Peter's status as the Rock a status the gives him "the keys of "the kingdom of heaven" and the authority of priestly absolution. So as...

[3] BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF PRAYING TO SAINTS (1) Are the righteous dead aware of earthly events? Yes. "There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous ones who need no repentance (Luke 15:7)." "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of...

I doubt than any fundamentalist here have experienced or even heard of someone they know being healed of congestive heart failure through prayer. Well, I'm acquainted with a Catholic who attracted such a miracle through a combination of embracing Catholic reverence for holy relics (e. g. bones...

Christ4Me: "So basically...you pursued a false teaching about "unless one speaks in tongues, they do not have the Holy spirit and therefore you are not saved"? Why do you so often LIE by willfully distorting views you find threatening because your own experience of the Spirit is so...

Christ4Me: "When you take it in context" You don't understand how Bible scholars establish relevant "context." In this case the only question of whether Paul elsewhere clarifies what he and the Corinthians mean by "tongues of angels." So when we learn that the Corinthians are "zealots of...

Nancy: "The Pentecostal and Charismatic movement will tell you that they have a gift that you dont have........and then they will tell you that this gift is proof of Salvation...These beliefs that one is not saved unless they speak in tongues IMHO, has turned many away from God as, they do not...

Christ4Me; "That reference is Paul giving an exaggerated sense to show how important love is or rather not having love in spite of tongues of angels. 1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling...

Christ4Me: "1 Corinthians 12:29 "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? That should give you pause about seeking tongues as a sign that you have the Holy Spirit to know that...

You are oblivious to the fact that the Bible teaches spiritual methodology, including several principles of an effective prayer life and several principles for exercising effective faith that makes the decisive difference. You also overlook Paul's command to "strive for spiritual gifts" (1 Cor...

4 facts commend greater evangelical respect for the vital role of Catholicism in shaping the biblical canon: (1) For the first centuries, there is no ecclesial consensus on the limits of the NT canon. On the one hand, the NT books themselves don't claim their composition is divinely inspired...

Phoneman: "The infamous "Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification" (JDDJ) is deceptively worded to teach "salvation is by grace alone through the merits of Christ's work alone" which is bulldookey." In the absence of reasoned dialogue, you must resort to such ad hominens because you...

4 reasons why John 3:5 specifies baptism as a condition for entering the kingdom of heaven: (1) 2nd century Christians take "born of water" as a reference to baptism (Thanks, Marymog). (2) No one in the first 2 centuries takes "born of water" as a reference to birth fluid and there is no...

Taken: "Hebrews built their Temple and Synagogs upon their Rock called, LORD." LOL, no OT text claims that the Jews built their Temple and synaogug on the divine Rock. Taken: Duet 3: [3] Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. [4] He is the Rock, his...

So as a youth, why was I so skeptical about speaking in tongues and other gifts of the Spirit? Our church had Holy Communion after the sermon and a message in tongues or prophetic word was often the norm for this service. As a skeptical boy. I yearned for a word from Christ that addressed my...
