Dear sir, I don't understand. You agree that it was "deemed a "sin" by the Book". And we know that it was CLEARLY the very first (original) sin of man. But your "not interested" in calling it original sin? It seems like you agree it was original sin, however, you just don't want to say it was...

I could not find ANY reliable translation of scripture that has the word "respect" or "revere" in Matthew 10:28. Twist it however you want....It says fear. Love, Mary

Is it fair to say that the very first act of man disobeying God was the "original" (defined as first) sin? Mary

I think I understand you now. You have a problem with the original sin doctrine that was first articulated by Augustine. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate from the tree was that a sin? Curious Mary

Hi Garrison, Should The Church disregard everything Paul wrote? Or just the text you cited? Curious Mary

If a person says they know Christ and that they are a true Christian YOU get to decide if they really know Christ and are a true Christian? Curious Mary

Hmmmm..... Your opinion is OPPOSITE of scripture and what Jesus said: 1 Corinthians 11:24 (along with many other passages that destroy your opinion). Mary

Dear sir, I believe you were trying to use or quote Matthew 10:22 as your proof text on what you believe and why you believe it. You do realize it takes a lot more than 'holding out to the end' to be saved? Your parents taught you to fear God? If so, they did the right thing. Matthew 10:28 is...

I agree. Doing it "deliberately" (INTENTIONALLY waiting until you are on your death bed to profess your belief/faith in Jesus) will probably not SAVE you. Mary

Dear Sir, You have me completely confused. I thought we were talking about Augustine and now you are saying Constantine!!! I am going to assume it was a typo and you mean AUGUSTINE. With that said I can not find anything about Augustine teaching deathbed acceptance of Christ being OK. Could...

Dear Sir, I feel you are calling me a liar? Do you, mjrhealth, not claim to hear from the Holy Spirit also? Curious Mary

Dear Sir, Did you miss all the references to The Church in scripture? If you belong to Jesus then why wouldn't you follow what he says to do in Matthew 18:17? Which Church was Jesus speaking of? What does 1 Peter 5:5 mean when it says be subject to the elders? Are you not living up to...

Dear Sir, Could that be you? Honoring with your lips but your heart is far from Him? Who are you to judge where a mans heart is? Did you miss this bit? James 4:11-12, Matthew 7:1 Curious Mary

BBYRD, What was your experience in getting "saved"? We're you all alone? In a Church? No one had an influence on you getting saved? Curious Mary

Sir, I did google it and I couldn't find a clear/concise answer. That is why I asked. Scripture says Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved and you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Are...

Hi sir, How do you KNOW he is telling lies? Curious Mary

Hi mjrhealth, I think I have asked you this before and you either didn't answer or gave a bizarre answer. Either way, I don't recall getting a logical answer. What church do you belong too? If you don't belong to a church just say you don't belong to a church...don't ramble on with...

Dear sir, I appreciate your apology however since I'm not Catholic you couldn't offend me. Many of my beliefs fall into the Catholic/Orthodox doctrine. I didn't see anything that you said that was offensive. Who are the Christian influences in your life bbyrd009? Mary

Hi, Thank you for the short and direct response. I am not familiar with Augustine and and death bed conversion? I don't know what that means. Augustine taught that it was ok to convert to Christianity on your deathbed? Mary

Hi Bbyrd009, What, in your opinion, are the two top "problems" Augustine had? Curious Mary
