Your Church says atheists can go to heaven. Nuff said.

We know that Abel's blood cried out to God, and that Hebrews says the blood of Christ also is testifying--thus, also, the water that issued from Christ is bearing witness and presenting testimony to God.

We've already proven your pagan church only leads to paganism it is now returning to. No one here takes your system seriously.

Isn't 1 John 5:7 recognized as an interpolation? In the context of 1 John 5, since it's talking about literal blood, perhaps the "water" there is literal water, too--the water that issued from His side (just as the blood did).The OT features many cleansing rituals in which this combination...

Ephesians 5:26 water = the Word John 15:3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Please help me stop receiving email alerts (to everything except system messages). I tried turning them off but it didn't work apparently.

I thought the meek inherit the Earth.

LOL You are funny. You don't think you just keep parroting the same propaganda. How much is Rome paying you?

To clarify, as I've stated, "water" there either refers to the Spirit or to the Word. "Water of the Word". I'm fine with either. What I cannot accept, because of what I'd explained, is that "water" there refers to any kind of literal water (either baptismal waters or amniotic fluids).

I actually have recently come around to what is essentially "by faith alone"--because included in "faith alone" is that we rest from our labors, and our works follow us, so that what we have to "do" is make sure to rest in the faith, and then we have a guarantee of works, but also without which...

Agree! 2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God... Galatians 1 6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some...

I was referring to the Scripture Titus 1:11 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of dishonest gain. Peter was...

Uh... yeah, as I already stated, Peter RE-"PETED" Paul--Acts 15 Jerusalem happened AFTER Galatians 2 Antioch LOL

Yes, Christ does make the comparison between "what is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit"--but that's not a reiteration of "born of water and Spirit", it is a contrasting clarification and emphasization as a magnification of His point. Again, to state "you must be born...

I noticed you didn't address my argument. Here it is again: You are committing an "apples-to-oranges comparison" error. To say someone is "born again" "of... Spirit" refers to a Being having birthed them. Amniotic fluid is NOT a being "birthing" anyone--humans aren't male and female amniotic...

Peter had his mouth shut.

No, Peter did not "decide" anything, he took the lesson he learned from Paul and repeated it almost word for word at the Jerusalem Council years later. Paul "decided" and Peter submitted to the Word of God.

It's water. Water doesn't give birth. Even amniotic fluid doesn't. Water isn't pregnant. The Water isn't literal water. Born of the Spirit means the person has a different nature. Amniotic fluid isn't a nature--amniotic fluid doesnt give birth to amniotic fluid, and we are not a race of amniotic...

Water Water and Spirit in John 3, water and Spirit in John 7--it's not complicated.

Actually, the Scripture is explicit... John 7 38The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39But this He said in reference to the Spirit...
