    Protestant Reformation

    Are you related to 03Cobra? The point is valid. I didn't imply that what happened in the Catholic church was presently happening in the Protestant church. I asked what was any different. The Protestants did many of the same things that you are accusing the Catholics of. You want to talk about...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Your questions are valid, and there are answers for them. .Many Christians are taught a lot of incorrect doctrine and many do not really understand the Scriptures. Don't misunderstand me, I am not trying say I have all of the answers. What I 'm getting at is that modern Christianity is way off...

    Closed communion

    The Scriptures make no mention of the "Real Presence", so the issue is of man. Jesus nor the apostles make mention of this so I don't see how the Catholic church and can it is idolatry to not believe it. Now, I realize that the Catholic church believes in continuing revelation which the...

    Is the Holy Spirit to be Worshipped?

    I believe Jesus is God, however, I don't believe He is the Father. That is why I asked you if you had any Scripture that suggests that we are to worship anyone other than the Father.

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Hi Joshua, I know your post was to Ducky but I thought I would suggest John 15. I also was wondering why you think the Sermon on the Mount is for the millennium. Are you a dispensationalist?

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    OK, can you tell me exactly when it was that Jesus' blood was used to wash you? Who exactly is it that has access to His blood and where did they get? Or, is John using a metaphor?

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Yes Yes, they were baptizing then. However, as I've stated Jesus was alive when the thief was saved, the New Covenant had not come into effect yet. So, the thief was saved under the Old Covenant. OK, if a person can't be saved without the holy Spirit and Peter said repent and be baptized and...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Hi, The first verse you posted shows that God uses water baptism to save people.

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    Jesus didn't say but or except, He said do not return evil for evil, bless them that persecute you, He said love your enemies. He didn't say love your enemies unless God doesn't answer your prayer the way you want it answered. No matter how much Christians may not like it, there simply are "NO"...

    Protestant Reformation

    This my friend this is one of the reasons I left Reformed theology. It is nothing more than a proof texting exhibition. It "DOES NOT" take context into account, it simple has some preconceived ideas and pulls passage of Scripture out of "CONTEXT" in an attempt to support them. It is nothing more...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Yes, it is, but it is still just one. Yes, I am. That is what Peter said, repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. Ananias said to Paul, be baptized and wash away your sins. Do you realize you are now forming doctrine based on what Jesus didn't say? First of all there is no reason...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    That is one verse, it does not supersede the rest of Scripture, it is one verse. Are you suggesting that Paul was preaching that people are saved without having their sins forgiven? If we are to come to a proper understanding of Scripture we must take all of the passages of Scriptures on a...

    Protestant Reformation

    Hi Templar, I wasn't singling out Anglicans they just happened to be the incidents that came to mind; It's all of the denominations, that's one reason I don't claim any. I'm Christian and only Christian, I believe denominations are sin, they divide the church and drive a wedge among brothers...

    Why are there so much animosity between Catholics and Protestants?

    I get the same response from Protestants. I go to three different Protestant boards and find that attitude on each of them.

    Is the Holy Spirit to be Worshipped?

    Do you have Scripture to support this?
  16. Butch5

    Should we pray to God or Jesus or both?

    I didn't mean to imply you did, I was simply stating my position.
  17. Butch5

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    No, you weren't already saved. Please explain how you were saved before your sins were remitted. My point is that Baptism is a New Covenant command. When the thiref was save the New Covenant wa not in effect because Jesus was still alive.

    What isn't a man made theology that comes from 1st Corinthians, I'm not following you?
  19. Butch5

    Should we pray to God or Jesus or both?

    I agree that Jesus is God but He is not the Father.

    Protestant Reformation

    Well, let me ask you, is it still going on in the Catholic Church? It's all past tense my friend. You want to discuss severity, well, the reformed theology has not had near as much time as did Catholic theology. I also notice you just dismissed what was done by the reformers. It doesn't matter...
