The Sonship of Jesus, attested to throughout the NT including personal declarations, is the greatest evidence there is to His full divinity. One need not be distracted by theological debate over the trinity, a doctrine which entertains numerous versions and none of which can be proven...

Seeing we are on a memory trip, I shall remind you of the apostle John's words... KJV 1 John 1:1-3 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was...

KJV John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. In the text above...

I would ask your you a serious question. Please consider this carefully. In scripture we are told that God sent His only begotten Son into the world to save sinners. I am sure you cannot disagree with this, it is written in black and white and repeated by many authors. So. That being true, then...

You reveal how shallow and superficial is your understanding of scripture. You also reveal how superficial is your reading of others posts. I fully explained my position which shows no contradiction. You choose what you want to read, and discard what exposes your desire to obfuscate, confuse...

I love this quote from A W Tozer. There have been times this quote had been like looking in a mirror, but God is faithful, and has brought people into my life with whom I have found that familiarity and closeness we all so desperately need at times. The loneliness of the Christian results from...

His church didn't fall away. Yours did. Only Rome and Alexandria in the beginning, then as Rome coerced and forced others to submit to papal authority through the use of secular armies such as Clovis anciently and the Ustachi (for example) more recently, were other churches included. But for...

The word believe, and the faith required to receive God's blessings, is not that which you suggest is possessed by demons. That's just stupid. They believe in the existence of God. If they believed in God the way we need to, actually having faith in the character of God and through faith acting...

No you didn't. You showed that the etymology of the worlds used allowed for the possibility that such an interpretation may be made. My suggestion is also a possibility.

KJV Revelation 17:1-2 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: (15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore...

Why not? What is there in scripture to declare otherwise? Not writing this as a supporter of the cult of Mary, just from the view of biblical integrity.

Just as the apostasy of the early church didn't involve every Christian or every church, just the leadership and political system in Rome which divorced itself from Christ through spiritual adultery with the kings of the earth. They claimed still to be loyal to Christ, just as the Pharisees and...

@Illuminator Here's a few more to encourage you that the media in general is not out to get Catholicism. In fact, as I see things, quite the opposite. And these and the ones above, are all older examples. I have several more much newer that confirm a media bias in favour of the Vatican, as...

Has anyone considered the possibility that those brothers and sisters were children of Joseph from a previous marriage, Joseph being a widower when he married Mary?

I hear you. Poor journalism that reflects badly on anyone is a sad thing indeed. In order to correct the imbalance you detailed above, allow me to show some positive media news for the Vatican. Of course, not everyone here will agree with the philosophy being promoted, but I'm sure you will...

No. You and I don't agree on anything. I agree with the context of scripture, that under certain conditions and after having met certain criteria, one is saved by baptism. Baptism itself has no efficacy to save without faith in Jesus, the death of self and surrender to Christ, the repentance of...

Some of you here may have heard of New Zealand, (Aotearoa), even though you may have no idea where it is. Some of you may even know a little about Rugby, but do you know why NZ is so Rugby conscious? You may not know that the first NZ rugby team to wear the black jersey with the silver fern...

You don't think repentance of a life of sin, and a determination to livea life of faith for righteousness and the gospel, things needful before a profession of Christianity via baptism? And you are not taking into account the context of Peter's passage. And that context isn't only in the...

Just to make things abundantly clear, I would first like to make 2 points. First, truly appreciate the dialogue between you 3. Thank you, all of you, for your thoughtful, insightful, discussion without rancour, self promotion, belligerence or pride. May we have many more of those, as they are...
