    That’s because you are completely ignorant of the doctrine of Final Purification (Purgatory) - even after I explained it yo you in mu last post. Now, pay attention: According to 1 Cor. 3:10-15, which explains the process of Final Purification before entering Heaven – the person will SUFFER...

    From your own head, iiis more like it. Apparently, you didn’t read post #410, where I debunked everything you claimed . . .

    Look – if you CAN’T refute any of my Scriptural arguments – just admit it and move on. You don’t need to set up Strawmen arguments to hide your ignorance. EVERYTIME I stump one of you guys – you do the SAME thing: You refuse to discuss the matter further, then you RIN . . .

    THANK YOU for exposing your ignorance. Makes MY job easier . . . Jesus is CLEARLY talking about prayer of PETITION here. Matt. 6:8. The verse that precedes the Lord’s Prayer CLEARLY states: “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ASK him.” As I educated you before...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    That’s NOT what I said. I said that READING the Gospel is not the same as UNDERSTANDING the Gospel – your dishonesty notwithstanding . . . Besides the Bible itself says that faith comes from HEARING the Word of good (Rom. 10:17). How would you explain the millions of ILLITERATE people coming to...

    1. WHERE did Jesus tell us NOT to pray to the saints in Heaven to ASK them to pray FOR us? Chapter and Verse, please . . . “Pray simply means “To ASK” and does NOT necessarily mean “Worship”. Rev. 5:8 shows the Elders in Heaven TAKING our prayers to God as bowls of incense. 2. Hell and Final...

    Why do you keep dodging the Biblical evidence against your false idea that God’s will make “obedient robots” out of us. He DOESN’T. Since God WILLS the salvation of ALL people (1 Tim.. 2:4) – according to YOU, ALL people will be saved. Will ALL people be saved? When Jesus lamented over...

    I’m not accusing you of lying – but you obviously don’t understand Catholic doctrine. Not only is it a basic teaching of the Church that we are redeemd by the finished work of Jesus on the cross – it was the Catholic Church who taught this to the WORLD. One of the reasons that Protestants...

    “UNBIBLICAL”?? Even if you disagree with that ONE example - you completely IGNORED the other BIBLICAL examples I gave you - John 17:20-23, 1 Tim. 2:4, Matt. 23:37-38. Gee – I WONGER why that is . . . Care to address any of those??

    Paul is talking about the fact that we can’t “BUT” our way into Heaven simply by our good works. Works without faith are as DEAD as faith without works (James 2:4-26). If YOU believe that God’s will cannot be foiled by OUR free will – they YOU don’t worship the God of the Bible. - God willed...

    Why do Catholics…

    The original “Bible-believing” Church – the Catholic Church, still calls it “Easter”, as the Early Church did, because it has NOTHING to do with paganism. As I explained to you before, the word “Easter” has more to do with the old Teutonic word for “Resurrection” (auferstehen). And whereas...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    READING the Scriptures is NOT the same as UNDERSTANDING what they say – and you have FAILED miserably. 2 Cor. 11:28 us Paul talking about his CONCERN for the churches – NOT the idea that he is “in charge” of the Church. That’s YOUR ignorant take. The Greek word used here is μεριμνα...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    That’s why I put QUOTES around the phrase “Born into”. I qualified it by explaining that it was BAPTISM that enters us into the New Covenant and makes us Born Again. Scriptures is explicit about this (John 3:5, Acts 2:38). The Bible is ALSO clear that we are NOT saved simply by God willing it...

    Why do Catholics…

    As I told you before - the Ishtar/Easter fallacy is idiotic on its face. English is a relativy NEW language on the wporld scene and was NOT in use in the first century. In almosr EVERY other language, Easter is referred to similarly - and it doesn't sound ANYTHING like Ishtar OR Easter...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    NOWHERE does the Bible even imply that Paul was the earthly head of the Church. It simply shows that he was chosen to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. I have repeatedly shown you the verses that show that Peter was the earthly head of the Church in posts #136 and #141. I've been BEGGING you...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    TRANSLATION: "I cannot refute ANY of the Scriptural evidence you presented for Peter's primacy." That's what I thought. All YOU did was throw some verses at me about Paul in order to DEFLECT from the rock-solid evidence I presented. PS - You NEVER did tell me why Paul refeers to Peter as...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    That's because you failed to answer my question about why Paul refers to Peter as "Cephas" in his Letters. You ALSO completrely ignored all of the Scriptural evidence I presented back in post #136 that CLEARLY shows Peter's primacy over the other Apostles. Since you refuse to go back to that...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    Ahhhhh - I see where your confusion lies. YOU actually believe that there are TWO Churches - one for Jews and one for Gentiles. This is a perversion of the Word f God. At the Last Supper, Jesus prayed for the UNITY of His Church - they they all remain ONE, as He and the Father are ONE (John...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    I think your problem lies in the idea that everybody needs to have a dramatic conversion testimony. This is NOT the case with those “born into” faith. In the OT, babies entered the Covenant with God by circumcision at 8 days old and and raised in the Jewish faith by their parents. In the...
