You guess that it is pretty unlikely that you are deceiving yourself. You believe it is pretty unlikely that you are deceiving others (and yourself) on this forum when you articulate you interpretation of scripture. Are you comfortable with possibly deceiving your fellow Christians? Do you...

Are you deceiving yourself with the thought that you may possibly be deceived? Mary

They can consider themselves whatever they want, however, if they don't adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church then they are not Catholic. Since they don't, they aren't. They fall more along the line of your ilk. Anyone can adhere to your bizarre beliefs that you write on your website...

There is no need to start another thread I can sum it all up right here: Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God.....Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the...

Thank you Enoch. I see you like the writings of Ed Stevens who lived in the 20th century. I choose the clearly written words of Scripture: baptism doth also now save us and baptism is not a removal of dirt from the body (1Peter 3:21) but that baptism is done for the remission of sins (Acts...

Thank you PW. There were a lot of people in Geneva that disagreed with John Calvin and his teachings. They were excommunicated or killed for it. Glad neither happened to you. ;) Since Calvin, your pastor nor the elder of your church could discern the truth of those "main points" of scripture...

Of course you disagree....Today....but give it a couple of days or a month or years. You might discover a new truth that causes you to agree with me. In your world there is no truth except the truth that YOU believe. In my world The Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth (just like...

Bible study.....LOVE IT! ;) It would be nice to know why scripture instructs us to use oil on sick people (James 5:14, Mark 6:13). After all, can oil really wash away the virus/bacteria that is making us sick? Did spit and dirt really heal the eyes of the blind man? I say no, for it is just...

Thank you. Can you please explain to this simple woman how it is that "maybe neither are teaching the truth"? Either baptism saves or it doesn't save. Are you suggesting there are more options? It seems to me the way you approach scripture interpretation is that everyone has their own...

Well Hullo Stumpmaster. I'm curious! Is that the way they spell 'hello' in New Zealand? Or did you spell it that way for a reason? The passage you cited does not answer the question. :( Church A teaches that baptism saves you. The "workmen" of that church are not "ashamed" and believe they...

They both would be what...Lying? You have me sooooo confused. That means you are suggesting there might be a 3rd or 4th or even a 5th option? That means 4 are lying and one is telling the Truth. Let's make it simple with an analogy that has been happening in Christianity since the Reformation...

Hmmmmm.....if someone disagrees with what YOU believe then they are deceived? Do you know anyone that agrees with EVERYTHING you believe? Curious Mary

I guess I did.....I suspect I didn't know it was sarcasm since your response to me was "He made mention that salvation is not by works." instead of letting me know up front you were being sarcastic. It seemed to me you were doubling down.....;) Mary

Context: the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect. If you put the conversation in context you would understand what I was talking about. :) If you need help, let me know. Mary

It seems to me that you are saying that you do have the Truth since you know how to sift thru everyone else's doctrines and decide that it is wrong with that doctrine. If you know which doctrines everyone else got wrong, you must know what doctrines are right. Right? Excommunication occurs when...

Sooooo both of us are pastors and we both start our own churches and we both tell our flock what we believe the Truth is based on our feelings, beliefs, interpretation etc. of scripture and we tell our flock what they have to do (or not do) to obtain eternal salvation HOWEVER we are both...

Where does scripture say that babies must be born again? You dodged the adults who have a low mental capacity question. Mary

Soooo you don't think the Catholic OR the Presbyterian church has the Truth......only you do? How can you be a Presbyterian if you disagree with them? Mary

And no good Protestant has to contemplate that question? Curious Mary

You admitted that you use bold. Are you BOL? Just using your own logic ;) Mary
