Well wrangler....Neither of those passages say anything about religious freedom. Casting out demons in the name of Jesus is not the same as religious freedom to practice/believe what YOU think Scripture says/means. You have chosen to ignore the passages that speak about following your elders...

And you tell yourself what to believe. I rely on The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of TRUTH. You believe YOU are the pillar and foundation of truth.....;)

So if a person is doing good works that indicates they have been born again? The works indicate that they have faith in Christ?

Show me in Scripture where it says that you have religious freedom and I will become a Protestant again.... Based on the context of my post I presume you mean religious freedom = I can read the bible in my basement and be just as right in my interpretation as any other man. If my presumption...

Ummmmm.....you didn't address my statement. I am asking you if the Holy Spirit stopped guiding Luther into the truth AFTER the Spirit revealed to him that The Church was falsely teaching the entire faith/works thing...... but I digress.

Sooooo help me understand better. You say you lived it! Does that mean that you taught yourself via living it this theory that the Spirit has been refreshing Christianity many times over the last 500 years? I guess it would help me to understand what you mean by "refreshing"?

Well Bob....According to YOU it "is contrary to the teaching of the Bible". So that makes we wonder. Did YOU decide it was contrary to the teaching of the Bible OR did another man teach you that it is contrary to the teaching of the Bible? Curious Mary

Sooooo still kind of a cryptic answer and I don't know what you are saying......but I digress. The best I can tell is that you don't interpret Scripture on your own.....

Wow...that is a fascinating theory. Who taught you that?

Ok.....soooo according to your theory Luther was guided by the Holy Spirit to once and for all debunk the Catholic Church teaching that faith without works is dead. After the Spirit guided Luther into that 'truth' the Spirit stop guiding Luther since he still held onto Unimportant "Religious"...

Well, I presume you are a human and you are involved in your interpreation of Scripture sooooo are you creating "confusion"??? What glasses are you wearing Bob? you are the pot calling the kettle black....

Hold on....HOLD ON Bob.... Protestantism has MULTIPLE different interpretations of the same passage from Scripture. Sooooooo which one of those Protestant denominations are NOT biblically ignorant? Which Protestant denomination doesn't have mis-management, political motivations and corruption...

Absolutly false Bob.....The main point in James is that our works “complete” our faith and keep it alive. And inasmuch as our works are necessary for a living faith, they are necessary for keeping us in a saving relationship with God. This is why James can write, “You see that a man is justified...

Ummmm....I don't understand any of this.....

Its a pretty simple question David. Maybe your answer is in your post in a cryptic way but I can't find the answer. I sure would like an answer: do you interpret Scripture on your own?

You think very highly of yourself. That concerns me. How about if we settle this disagreement amongst us the Bible way: Matthew 18:17

Protestant defined: a member of any of several church denominations denying the universal authority of the Pope and affirming the Reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth broad...

Hey Jane, The question I asked you was did you know that the Protestant denominations held their own inquisitions and tortured/killed other Christians. You didn't answer the quesiton. Soooooo Did you know that????

Hi Jane, Hold on. Hold on. :cool: Before the Reformation when did Christians NOT have the Bible to "check for themselves" that what The Church was teaching did not belong to Christianity? The bible had been around for 1500 years sooooo your statement makes no sense to me. Also, are you...

He Jane, Who made you the arbiter of what a "false belief" is and a what a true belief is? Is it possible that your beliefs are false and that you are 'walking over a cliff'? Scripture says that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth. Are you 'the church'? Curious Mary
