Behold: "Typical of a deceptive person, who is pretending to be an authority, you are stating claims as if they are true. Gehold: "No evidence is presented, just the stated claims. And if i push you for evidence, you'll list "scholarship evidence", as if there isn't the same amount of this on...

JohnPaul: "I've been touched by God and Christ, that is enough for me, I don't need gifts or miracles to believe I simply just believe." Translation: You don't need to obey God's command to zealously strive for spiritual gifts like tongues. JohnPaul: "I've seen people who claim they speak in...

In post #75 I outlined a clear contradiction in Luke's resurrection narrative and have given fundamentalists about a week to respond. As expected, when confronted with that contradiction, the fundamentalists have frozen like Bambi in the headlights because they have no answer! So kindly...

I doubt than any fundamentalist here have experienced or even heard of someone they know being healed of congestive heart failure through prayer. Well, I'm acquainted with a Catholic who attracted such a miracle through a combination of embracing Catholic reverence for holy relics (e. g. bones...

As expected, fundamentalists here feel the need to get this thread off track because they have no answer to Matthew 16:19, John 20:23, and James 5:16 as a biblical basis for the Catholic practice of confession and priestly absolution. So it seems time to move on to the OP's next topic, "praying...

Notice how every time Catholics show them relevant portions of God's Word, these evangelicals respond with fundamentalist talking points that bypass God's Word? So let's keep the key points in Matthew 16:16-19 as simple as possible for them. (1) Why does Jesus tell Peter his name: "You are...

[Behold: "Objective errors ? You will show us misspelled words and your opinion regarding "original Koine greek", and "Original Extant manuscripts", when in fact the only originals are the Apostle's letters, and they dont exist. So, you want to ERECT your strawman based on quoting your...

But why would Jesus identify bizarre phenomena like poison-drinking and snake-handling as "signs" of the true believer in His only statement in Mark's only resurrection appearance, when He might have mentioned transformational signs like ,say, the fruit of the Spirit, a Spirit-led life or...

Truth OT: "Thanks for chiming in Bob. The fact that there is contention within the Christian faith(s) bolsters my point that the Bible is very ambiguous, at times contradictory, and downright confusing regarding numerous religious subjects that would appear to be of upmost importance." Most of...

Cassandra: "God asked that those images be made.. None of them were to be bowed down tofoe veneration. it says here "You shall not bow down yourself to them or worship them." God did not tell the church to fill itself with icons.No one was allowed inside of the Holy or the Most holy Place in...

Let's look at the 9 key points that refute Christ4Me's aNti-tongues stance: (1) She constantly warns that private tongues cannot confidently be distinguished from pagan tongues. Yet she has no answer to my challenge to find a single case in Paul's day (not Isaiah's day) of private tongues...

Those 65 Protestant scholars just spoke for the modern scholarly consensus, secular and Christian, as evident from the majority views of professors who attend the largest and most prestigious Bible conference in the world, the annual meetings of The Society of Biblical Literature. Scott A. on...
