The man who sows is hoping for change. The man who waters is hoping for change. So I ask you again: If your not interested in changing ANYONES mind why do you engage in debate on this website? Curious Mary

I think the key words in the article are: The interview has been edited and condensed. Which means we must read the book to get the full scope of what James Martin really means or believes. I don't feel comfortable FULLY responding to "edited and condensed" articles. I do agree with his...

Hi FHII, I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. What do you mean when you say that God DOESN'T look at the flesh of a Christian? Does Galatians 5:19-21 not talk about sins of the flesh? Curious Mary

I THINK you are saying you are interested in scripture but not interested in history. I am saying you can't have one without the other. It is possible I don't understand what you are saying so I guess we will part ways.

Why is the very first word the most important? Are they not both important? You are twisting Acts 2:38 to say, You must repent before you can be baptized OR You can only be baptized AFTER you repent. Scripture does not say that. It says repent AND be baptized. That was Paul's answer to their...

In post #563 you said: "...anyone who has the most basic understanding of The Reformer, knows that Protestantism have never claimed their churches to be authoritative..." NOW you are saying: "the Reformers were authoritative" Which one do you want to stick with?:rolleyes: My point is The...

Dear Sword, I agree with you. You never said you wanted to throw out history. Here is what you did say: I dont really care to much about what history says.... ...but history (is) pointless really dont ya think so?.... (history) Holds no value or authority..... SUMMARY: History is pointless...

Hi Aspen, I am not sure how you can say that they 'have never claimed their churches to be authoritative' when HISTORICAL FACTS prove you wrong. Read a history book or do a Google search about the violence The Reformers used to enforce their authority (doctrine) in the same way the RCC did...

Dear mjrhealth, You make absolutely zero sense. I don't understand what you just wrote. A photo of Jesus? There you go again. Defending your doctrine which is: I have Jesus and I need nothing but Jesus to know the Truth. I know Jesus therefore I have the Truth. Mary

My dear perrero, I have been on vacation and do not need to be left off the hook. :) It makes me sad that you have made your personal understanding of scripture infallible. You read scripture, interpret it, believe YOU are right until someone comes along and convinces you that you are wrong...

You are right. Post #142 has no scripture in it. But it does have one FACTUAL statement in it: Nowhere in scripture does it say that you need scripture to back up everything you believe about scripture. YOU have failed to provide a single sentence from scripture that says one needs scripture to...

I am in good company perrero!! I used scripture AND 2,000 years of Christian History to support infant baptism. So did the FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANS who walked and talked with the Apostles so it was more than likely a COMMON PRACTICE when the Apostles were alive. The CHURCH FATHERS used...

There you go again. Defending your doctrine.

Hola, I finally think you answered my question. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit I can interpret scripture. However, if perrero, who is also guided by the Holy Spirit, shows me I am wrong by using scripture then I should change my beliefs. If a Catholic approaches me that says they were...

90% of evnagilism and other kingdom extending work has been done by Christians baptized as infants? Not sure where the 90% figure comes from but sure. Let's go with that. If God was against infant baptism he would not have allowed the preaching and teaching of those 90% to flourish and...

You can GOOGLE it or BING it. Your choice. You won't believe anything I say so why should I answer you? You are asking a question that you have already concluded what The True answer is. I'm not playing your game. Sorry!! Mary

Hi perrero, I am not sure if you are making a statement or asking a question whey you say: "....the C church is the be all end all benchmark for everything that is Christian." Are you saying the Catholic Church IS the be all and end all or are you questioning if it is? There is no question mark...

HI Josho, I BELEIEVE what makes a Catholic a Catholic is the seven sacraments. At least that is the biggest distinction. Also, they accept the Magisterium as the final authority. Protestants accept themselves or their 500 year old church as the final authority. Love...Mary

I am curious about your point. It seems to me the souls in heaven, who are alive also, could do more for me than the sinners on earth who are ALSO alive. The souls in heaven have obtained salvation. The souls on earth are still seeking salvation. So I agree with you. It is not the same at all...

You said: It never said prayer it said lay hands on. The fact is IT DOES SAY PRAYER. Maybe what YOU quoted doesn't say prayer but scripture is VERY CLEAR that it does in FACT say prayer. I don't see anyone looking for fault. I see their response as them lovingly sharing the fullness of...
