    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    They just do it to provoke Protestants. ;) It is sort of funny how upset some people get about other people’s prayer life. It is no skin off my nose how Catholics want to pray. It is not like they are trying to force ME to pray to Mary (or anything else). They just refuse to share their wafer...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    You should avoid explaining to people what THEY believe ... you are very bad at it. Your erroneous opinions are duly noted. [shrug]

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    This is a claim made by no one. Nobody advocates “saved” as living free to disobey without repentance. Only those that HATE the Doctrines of Grace make the claim that others believe this. You are mistaken about what those who believe “salvation cannot be lost” claim about the need for...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    No, just mocking the claim that YOU are living a life free of all sin when Scripture tells us that it is not so. (1 John 1:5-9) We are preserved by the grace of God through our advocate, so any claim to persevere without His grace is nonsense.

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    There is no point in "answering" a what-if that does not exist: What if men were saved without Jesus Christ? ... irrelevant speculation about an impossibility that can never exist. What if men are saved and continue living an unrepentant, reprobate lifestyle? ... irrelevant speculation about...

    Does it not concern you even a little that you use human words to refute direct quotes from scripture in an effort to "prove" your opinions true? :(

    Are these situations that you (or ANY Christian) actually struggles with? Who believes what you seem to be ranting against? (Nobody that I know.)

    Quite the strawman you have built there. Nobody believes what you claim.

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    [Romans 3:10 NKJV] As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; … all of the pots are faulty; that’s why Jesus came to save “whosoever” (John 3)

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Concerning the man who was a brother, whom Paul ordered expelled from the church for unrepentant sin, whom Paul later instructed he should be welcomed back as a brother ... was he unsaved, then saved, then unsaved again during his expulsion, then saved again when he was welcomed back? Does God...

    It falls to the POTTER to strike the balance ... not to the clay.

    A verse (or part of a verse) plucked from its context ... is invariably a pretext. "Then he went and hanged himself" [Matthew 27:5] “, now go and do the same.” [Luke 10:37] ;) Do you really believe that the sins of all people have been forgiven and God will have nothing left to condemn on...

    Sealed

    Is it injustice when the President or Governor pardons some convicted criminals but not all? Do the guilty DESERVE a pardon? Does God OWE mankind forgiveness? [Romans 9:14-24 NKJV] What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, "I will have...

    Sealed

    [Romans 10:8-13 NKJV] 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For...

    HERESY?

    If one is going to remain honest, then one must acknowledge that however strongly we feel about "Sola Scriptura", it was not always the litmus test of the "church". There was a time (right or wrong) when both the written Word of God and the Tradition associated with that word from the ECF were...

    HERESY?

    You worship a different "god" than the God proclaimed in the GOSPEL (good news) of John and Paul about our LORD, Jesus, the Christ. You have crossed one of the very few lines for which I believe fellowship should be broken. I will now leave you to my LORD to deal with as I shake the dust off my...

    Purgatory - A Catholic's Understanding

    According to 1 Corinthians 3, what are they building? Once you understand what is being built, the importance of the “work” surviving the test is self-evident.
