Purgatory is purely an invention of Catholic tradition, the teaching of which Jesus flatly condemns in Matthew 15. And Scaliafan's claim that Catholicism is based on the Bible is overthrown here.

By "anti-Catholics" you must mean "those of us who are anti-Catholic doctrine", right?

The truth is "you're not really sorry until you're ready to quit." The type of repentance you speak of is not repentance at all, but a perpetual state of attempting to cover one's self with God's grace regardless of whether or not we confess and forsake our sin. However, God has clearly told us...

Actually, you've misunderstood what I've been saying. The Bible is clear that there is always forgiveness for us if we slip and fall down into sin (Proverbs 24:16 KJV), but there is not one shred of forgiveness available to those who deliberately sit down in it and refuse to get up and leave...

Yet, OSAS rejects the notion that daily repentance is necessary. I believe it is and that it forms a part of the whole "abiding in the Vine" relationship. The Vine is not some horticultural Boa Constrictor that grabs us and refused to let go, as OSAS would like the case to be, but we much daily...

You may not like me calling you friend, but do you know anyone who would let you spit in their face and still love and pray for you? I would. Jesus loves you and I for the people that we might become through His indwelling power, regardless if we still choose to reject Him, and I love those who...

Wrong. Faith without works is dead faith which can't save anybody, friend. Why do you liberals always attempt to mischaracterize the good works of a believer as an "attempt to gain heaven by his own merits", when you're told time and time again that without the grace and power of Jesus, the...

Excellent points regarding "Prophet, High Priest, and King", all of which the Papal power has robbed Christ. Knowing I was preaching what would likely be my last sermon at the largest SDA church in the New Orleans area back in 2010, I called out the "dumb, sleeping, mute dogs" among us and...

Well, thanks. I'll have to do the same, b/c I can't remember if I've ever blocked anyone.

We should read and accept the whole Bible, and not just the parts that appeal to us: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in Him." (1 John 2:3-4 KJV) It is the Word of God that...

H, please allow me to interject - why this false dichotomy of "faith vs. works"? Does a loving husband "try" not to beat his wife or does he find even the thought of that disgusting beyond measure? Likewise, a converted Christian always, immediately, with utmost urgency calls on the name of God...

Hey, Stan, I thought you blocked me?

Amazing how people are so stupefied. They know that there are only two references in the entire Bible regarding the "Son of Perdition" - Judas and the Antichrist. They know that Judas came into the church, kept up appearances in the church, and gave no indication that he was filled with Satan...

Yes, but what is the "seal"? There is a Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 8:14-16 KJV which speaks of what was to seal the disciples of that hated Stumbling Block, the Stumbling Block which Romans 9:33 KJV clearly affirms was an OT Messianic reference to Jesus Christ: "Bind up the testimony; seal the...

From "The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine" by Priest Peter Geirmann: Q. Which day is the Sabbath day? A. The seventh day is the Sabbath day. Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic church, in the Council of Laodicea...

A classic liberal tactic is to accuse those who condemn certain destructive beliefs or behaviors of a group as hate mongers who condemn the group at large. For instance, if you point out that the number one cause of death in the afro-American minority group is "black on black" murder while...

I must have missed your answer to the OP question. Please point to which of your posts contain an answer so I can review it. BTW, this thread is not about Revelation, it's about 2 Thessalonians 2 - THE RESTRAINER

I've reviewed your posts in this thread and I see that you've chosen to circle your "intellectual wagons" around your Jesuit "Left Behind" Futurism theory, rather than allow it to stand the test of Biblical and historic scrutiny with regard to the issue of "the restrainer". I'm not surprised in...

No, I will not answer multiple accusations in one post. One at a time or none at all, thank you very much. BTW, it is YOU CALVINISTS who call God a Cosmic Rapist, not me, for my God would never force Himself on me or anyone else. Why do you accuse Him of rape? Why do you accuse Him of forcing...

Jeremiah, Paul, Ezekiel disagree with you, the Pope, and all other subscribers to Jesuit Futurism (which they manufactured as a desperate damage control measure when the Protestant Historicists were handing their butts to them during the Reformation). Put down Emerging Church propaganda and...
