Oh goodness PinSeeker.......You have a horrible theory and revision of the truth (history). The Reformers did not return to Christianity in the days of the Apostles. They all disagreed with The Church on doctrine. They thought they could interpret Scripture better than the men of The Church...

Who in your life fulfills Hebrews 13:17?

YOUR WORDS IN POST #528 Lev 26: [1] Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. Does Your Catholic Church, set up images? Yes. Does Your Catholic...

Quotes From Taken: IS that, erecting statues, bowing down to them, Praying TO whatever the statue is supposed to represent? Is that Calling out a name and repeating over and over the same empty words while counting beads, to be sure of how many times you have called their name and repeated...

@Taken @ScottA theory and the teaching on OSAS is that some THINK they are saved..... but they really aren't. Some KNOW they are saved, and they really truly are because once they are saved, they can never be unsaved. Once saved you can never sin again.....translation: you predict the future...

Hey Ezra, I was telling Scott what I thought he meant in his post. I wasn't necessarily agreeing with him; I was interpreting his post. None the less, Scripture says A LOT more on what one must do to obtain eternal life. Your use of one passage as proof that you are right is dangerous. If you...

Hey Scott, Well, now you lost me. Even the Apostle Paul didn't "know" that he was saved so I am not sure how any other Christian can "know" they are saved. Mary

Thanks for the clarification PinSeeker. Now that you clarified your "soteriology" thought process it helps me get the gist of your point. I characterize it that way because it is true. Look at the big picture and you will see that Luther rejected some long-taught beliefs and offered a few new...

Hi Reggie, Those Catholics that claimed that by works alone they will obtain eternal salvation are not practicing what The Church teaches. Thank you for your input....Mary

Ummmm......According to the widely accepted definition of "Protestant" that is accepted worldwide by scholars and written in the dictionary.....I am correct. Protestant defined: a member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and...

Nope, I'm not regurgitating anything. I clearly gave the reasons for what I asserted. And I didn't even quote a catholic source.

Thank you for your opinion. Have you any facts to back it up? I gave mine.

Got it.....so Paul and James did not interpret that part of Scripture for you which means you interpreted it yourself OR you are regurgitating what your Protestant men taught you. I stand by my statement: It appears you are referring to Ephesians 2:8-9 as your proof text to back up what your...

You trust in you.....are you not a man? You trust yourself because you have told yourself to trust yourself. o_O Think about it.....

I provided context. You didn't. Would you care to provide context?

You have me a bit confused PinSeeker. Do you or do you not believe Paul was talking about works of the law and not good deed works in Ephesians 2? Mary

Read post #127.

Oh...I see. Paul and James appeared to you, and they told you what they meant by those passages? You didn't get your interpretation from anyone else? :vgood:

If that Catholic preacher is teaching what The Church has approved then yes, we are to believe him.....period. HOWEVER, if YOU disagree with what your elders have taught you then YOU will always be right and YOU are never wrong which means you are violating Scripture (Hebrews 13:17) I feel bad...

Lol...MY doctrine, which has been taught for 2,000 years is false but YOUR doctrine, which has been taught for 500 years isn't..... :contemplate: Yes, Jesus and the Apostles taught that we must be born again thru water and Spirit. When we believe we are baptized with water the Spirit descends...
