1. How are you redefining the Church as you wish? You're just a Protestant. 2. Those very same bishops are the ones who put the Pope in place. The very ones you put your trust in have already proven untrustworthy.

Who says the Church is preserved in some bishops? Did you invent a new system then? What authority to you have to do that? Sounds like you're Protesting to me. So much for your Catholicism. If you're wearing one of those silly Halloween costumes take it off.

Exactly : welcome to the Protestant Party! We've been waiting for you to wake up and reject the system!

Stuck to the text "...living water... this He spake of the Spirit..."--yep! Either way, it is clear, and we agree, it's not speaking of water baptism.

Well how could "Peter's successor" be blessing idolatry (Pachamama)? Certainly Peter would not accept such blasphemy. The Holy Spirit tried to lead you all into truth and you rejected the leading preferring the lie of idolatry. "He's not the real successor of Peter! He's false!" Yes we already...

That's exactly what He was telling Nicodemus--Nicodemus had to be born again. That's what Nicodemus understood. That's why he said "Can I enter my mother's womb again?" He wanted to know how to do it. Yes Jesus corrects his misunderstanding on how it gets done but He really did mean he had to be...

I agree that's the ideal but I think it's arguable you don't actually do so. 1. It's really a lot simpler than this : Nicodemus sees that Jesus is a holy man, and wants to know from Him how to enter God's Kingdom. 2. Jesus, Who knows men's thoughts, detects Nicodemus wants to know, and tells...

So if Paul describes "murder" in these two passages, no one is allowed to take advantage of that, and pick his brain on his definition of "murder"? LOL Why? I don't think that's his intention--I think he's actually preempting Rome's Jewish believers' objections. He knew Gentiles didn't have the...

Right next to "[USER] Said" you should be able to find an arrow (it's usually invisible on my settings but if you highlight the area you will see it). Click that to take you back to the quote so you can see what the disagreements were.

You're trying to say water and Spirit refer to amniotic fluid and then being born of the Spirit, and you want to claim Nicodemus was born again and that Jesus was trying to convince him of that. I am denying that water and Spirit refers to amniotic fluid and Spirit and that it just refers to...

Obviously, without departure from the Bible, you won't be able to bless idolatry (eg, "Pachamama") the way the Pope does! You need 2000 years of tradition to do that! Now, turn your back on the Word and listen to a false prophet (one who claims to speak on behalf of The Name) with traditions and...

Based on what are they "unrelated"? In Romans 3:20, he says "...by the works of the Law... comes the knowledge of sin" then in Romans 7:7 he says "I would not have known what it was to 'covet' lest the Law had said 'do not covet'"? This is literally "the works of the Law" bringing him "knowledge...

@CadyandZoe I hope you won't forget to respond.

Wait, isn't "love your neighbor as yourself" a commandment from "the letter of that OLD Law" that you're saying we're not supposed to follow? Yeah it's Leviticus 19:18.

Romans 3:20 and Romans 7:7 subsume "do not covet" under "works of Law", so, no, "works of Law" isn't "religious rituals".

@theefaith ?

Paul had Timothy circumcised. Did he fall from grace?

That describes the life of a Jew in the flesh Romans 7:5 and "under Law" so he's being mastered by sin Romans 6:14 not a Christian who is "not in the flesh but in the Spirit" Romans 8:9. It's not Paul's Christian life because "no covetous man has any inheritance in God's Kingdom", but this guy...

1. It's not one or the other it's both : the forgiveness only comes after the process of atonement is executed (eg, Leviticus 4:26). Part of these substitutionary sacrifices involves at times transferring sins from people to sacrifices Leviticus 16:21. The forgiveness doesn't come until all that...

Also for @Hidden In Him Why do you say "Jesus and His Apostles"? Jesus told the Jew to keep Sabbath if he wanted to enter the Kingdom of God--He spoke at a time the Law stood. Also, what we're talking about is justification--right standing with God--and that is by "righteousness of faith"...
