    KJV Romans 11:3-6 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this...

    KJV Romans 9:30-33 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32...

    You are contradicting yourself here. First you say correctly, that "prophecy is not to be interpreted privately', (that we can't decide truth for ourselves), then declare that the only source of truth is man. That the man belongs to a church is irrelevant. He's still a man deciding on your...

    You are correct, they are one law, literally one word. Yet they are different commands, even promises if you believe. Thou shalt not becomes a promise rather than an injunction. But if you agree that they are one law, what right did your church have to change the 4yh Commandment from the 7th...

    Basically, Paul is saying we cannot earn our way to heaven. Nothing we do, nothing we can be, nothing we say can convince God to accept us...He has already accepted us in Christ, all we have to do is believe it. After belief comes obedience, yet even obedience is impossible without faith, "for...

    The Ten Commandments are also promises for those that have faith, yet your church changed them. If the sacraments are promises are promises, then what does your church leaders believe themselves to be to deny them to others?

    As I said... It seems that Catholics in general simply do not in any way trust God to lead them into truth, which explains why they cleave fearfully to the magisterium to confirm and teach them everything. Those early churches BoL, had Jesus, and He led them into the truths of the gospel...

    Who are you asking, and what do you mean by 'saved'?

    That you consider the throne spoken of in Hebrews to be that of Mary is your imagination. There is no confirmation any where else, no evidence, no corroboration. From what I see of your posts, which is the only evidence I have, is that may is on the throne of your life. Not heaven. KJV Acts...

    This is for those baseball, softball, volleyball fans and such like, who would like to understand a little better the science and art of cricket.

    The photo I posted in support of my contentions weren't necessarily an illustration of the actual statue itself being the idol... It represents Mary, I get that. Thing is this. Not only is Mary dead, and cannot hear anyone's prayers let alone pass them on to anyone, having Mary as an intercessor...

    Do you still think a relationship with Jesus is inferior to being a member of your church, such as Pope Francis believes?

    An example of what I'm talking about... The replacement of Christ... Antichrist. Yet churches were established throughout many regions before the 4th century, and they had scriptures. They didn't need Rome to "declare" anything. They didn't have a relationship with Rome, they knew Jesus. Do you?

    Why is that untrue? KJV Acts 1:11 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven . The disciples who heard that had been expecting Jesus to take...

    I agree with your theological description of idolatry... Anything that replaces God in the minds and hearts of people is idolatry. God comes first, always. However, we need a Mediator in order to relate to God. God provided one. His Son. What Catholics have done is effectively say, we don't...

    Illuminator posted the top picture as an answer to the question he himself posed, do Catholics worship statues? I asked you "What's going on in front of those statues? " I fail to see anything cryptic about that question.

    The Final Gentile Global Leader.

    Yes, looking so intently into the future, they happily attend church fetes, and pot-lucks with the real one whose schools their children attend and whose charities they donate to.

    The Racist "Immorality Act"

    I would be upset of God chose to let those into heaven who chose not to be there and counted the grace of God an unholy thing, but I would hazard a guess they wouldn't be a part of the OSAS crowd huh.

    The Racist "Immorality Act"

    The law of the Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus... KJV Romans 8:4 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit . Which laws did Christ obey that we in His strength will also obey being filled with His Spirit?
