Not correct. Read it properly. It refers to those who already have received Christ and tasted of the good things to come. To apply it to those who first hear the gospel and who are hesitating, is to give false teaching to them. Salvation can be lost if a person, once saved, totally rejects...

There is no reference to him consulting the church. In Acts 15, he did not go to get approval from the Apostles. He went to stop the false Judaist apostles from corrupting the Gentile churches with their false gospel. He said that he did not get his gospel through flesh and blood, but by...

That's what the Vatican insiders are actually saying and they are pushing for reform. Why do you think Pope John Paul I was murdered? I didn't say that - I am repeating what faithful Roman Catholic Vatican insiders are also saying! If you want me to continue responding to you, refrain from...

James is right, and he uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab. But these are deeds that show their faith in God. It is not enough to say we have faith unless we show that we have faith by what we do. But this is not following Mosaic or moral rules to try and be acceptable to God, or to comply...

This is absolute nonsense dreamed up by some mad monk somewhere. I don't believe a word of it. It comes from an idolatrous worship of Mary.

During debates with my father, as soon as we started raising our voices to him and started shouting, he said that we had lost the debate because our arguments had become very weak! The fact that you feel that you have to flame me to make your point, along with your large text, shows the...

In all this you are correctly talking about those who for some reason have departed from the faith in the sense that they have left the church, but have retained a belief in God nevertheless. They haven't openly declared themselves to be total atheists. There is a difference between a...

It goes to prove that not all who wear the Christian 'badge' are any more than just religious people, and not genuinely converted believers.

I looked for it but couldn't find it.

The reference doesn't prove that Peter was ever the head of the whole church. It says that the church is built on the foundation of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb, Peter just being one of them. The reference is quite clear who is the Head of the Apostles - Jesus Christ, not Peter. There is...

Every genuinely converted believer is perfectly repentant, because they have repented from their bad attitude to Christ to one of full commitment to Him.

Evangelical repentance is the general turning from rebellion against Christ to a full commitment to Him as Saviour. As soon as that happens the whole sin question is resolved with Jesus taking the full guilt and penalty of all sin, past, present and future. This is Jesus being a complete...

Oh? Unless you are sinlessly perfect, you are not fully covered by God's grace? How does that work? So you still have to receive the penalty for the sinful habit patterns you haven't resolved in yourself yet?

What we need to consider is not to confuse Justification and Sanctification. They are not the same thing although one cannot have sanctification without Justification because only those who have been justified by faith alone in Christ can develop sanctification. Justification is God's verdict...

I found over the years I was involved with ChristianForums.com that homosexuality was being more and more accepted and treated as less than a sinful lifestyle as clearly taught in Romans. If it hasn't happened already, I would predict that it won't be long that members will be accused of...

The doctrine is that Lucifer became jealous of Jesus being the favoured son of the Father, so he decided to become the devil and oppose God. The concerning thing about this is that there is an animated story about all this that are shown and taught to their Sunday School children!

And, there is absolutely no evidence at all that Peter was ever a bishop in the early church, and although he might have visited Rome and was martyred there, no evidence has been given that he was ever a bishop there and therefore could not have been the first 'pope'. In fact, if Peter had been...

I don't respond to accusative "you" messages. The doctrine that one has to confess their sins to a human priest and be absolved by him is a total fraud and God does not acknowledge it.

They don't believe that Jesus was born of a virgin. They also believe that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers from the same father. Spooky!

Anyone can cobble a collection of verses together to make the Bible say what they want it to say. It is called handling the Word of God deceitfully (2 Corinthians 4:2).
