    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I think I hit a nerve by exposing the fact that YOU don’t know what “cherry-picking” means. Sorry, dude . . . Ma’am??

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    HUH?? I simply differentiated between works in Christ and works for self. We’re SUPPOSED to judge a person’s works (Matt. 7:15-20) – and NOT their souls Einstein . . . You’re confused, son. Allow me to educate you . . . 1 John 1-8 says explicitly: If we claim to BE without sin, we deceive...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Sure I am. Everybody needs to hear the truth. First of all, mu ignorant friend, to “Pray” simple means to “ASK”: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea<pray...

    And that’s a great non-response . . .

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Cherry-picking is posting individual passages WITHOUT any context – building doctrines around them. YOU are a master of this. I use individual passages to make my points – THEN I include cross-references verses to support my doctrinal positions. Whereas, YOU will ignore other verses that don’t...

    Good for you. Neither do faithful Catholics . . .

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    WRONG. They are MILLIONS of people who do good works who are NOT justified and do NOT believe. I know plenty of these people.. WRONG We will ALWAYS struggle with sin because we are made of corruptible flesh. 1 John 1-8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    WOW. Time for a Bible Lesson, son . . . First of all – God is NOT the God of the dead – but of the LIVING (Matt. 22:32). The prohibition against contacting dead spirits in Deut. 18:10-11 was against conjuring them up for purposes of gleaning information from them. The saints in Heaven are part...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Gee, I guess you weren't listening. We don't believe in faith AND works. Works are a part of what faith is. You can't have Faith without . . . - Surrender - Trust - Belief - Obedience (works) Funny - I've been a Catholic my WHOLE life and I'ver never been to a "seance" . . .

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    As I explained to you before – “cherry-picking” is taking verses OUT of CONTEXT to make it seem that SEEM that they agree with your point. Cherry-picking is what beginners do because they don't understand context. I always give context and/or cross-referenced verses. Case in point: Rom. 10:13...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Actually - since faith includes the acts of surrender and obedience, it is cooperation with God's grace. That's somethng we DO. We can either cooperate with His grace (Luke 11:2)3 – OR you can reject it (Matt. 23:37) . . . We either COOPERATE with His grace - Matt. 25:40 “The King will reply...

    Wow - complete intellectual meltdown . . . I gave you a response that a childe could unerstand.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You cannot have true faith without works. Faith is belief and trust in Jesus coupled with works – NOT in “addition” to. Good deeds without belief and trust in Jesus for your salvation are worthless. Good grief – this is NOT that difficult to understand . . .

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    And that’s how one receives the knowledge that is revealed – by EXPLAINING it to them. When are you going to learn to differentiate the works of the Law - and those works that GOD has prepared for us in advance to do” (Eph. 2:10)? Read slowly and think: - “Works of the Law” (Rom. 3:28 - Mosaic...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    AGAIN - there is NO contradictions. We ARE saved by God’s grace and NOT of our own works. However - we are saved by God’s grace through faith, which includes the good works that HE prepared for us in advance to complete (Eph. 2:10). Not every single verse in Scripture gives us the full...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Unnnn, that's because there are NO contradictions. Scripture cannot contradict itself. When is that going to sink in?? I've given you almost TWO DOZEN verses that prove my point. Rom. 10:3/Matt. 7:21, Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 4:4...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You cannot “remain in Go’s kindness if you DON’T remain in faith and DON’T trmain in Christ. Try again . . . WRONG on BOTH counts. As I explained above – the word Epignosis is used instead of gnosis. This is a full, experiential and relational knowledge – not just an intellectual assent. The...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    There is nothing to “resolve” on MY part. And the only reason I posted in the example of 3 more verses was to show you the exact SAME point that you couldn’t see with the first 2. It’s another example of one verse making a statement that is explained more FULLY by another. You couldn’t see that...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You read too much into Rom. 10:3 – and not enough into Matt. 7:21. The group in the latter verse believed and did works – but they didn’t have obedience. I only gave you ONE example – but there are MANY. Consider the following . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Since you’re NOT familiar with Scripture – l’ll me give you an example of 2 verses that seem ton “contradict” each other – UNYIL you see the context in BOTH verses . . . Rom. 10:13 For “EVERYONE who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Matt. 7:21 “NOT EVERYONE who says to me, ‘Lord...
