What else could it be? Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

hmmx1: Here's your problem Dan. You can't seem to distinguish between ONLY FAITH and FAITH ALONE Faith Alone TODAY does not mean what it ALWAYS has. Today FAITH ALONE means that we don't have to do ANYTHING after salvation. That is what it means. I wish you would understand this. It's a...

nedsk Sorry but Augustine was heretical. Want to go down the list? Do you know that Calvin based his teachings on Augustine's writings? Do you know that Augustine based his beliefs on the fact that he was so guilt ridden due to his previous life? I know he's a brain and a church doctor.... but...

And whatever made you THINK that Catholics believe man is saved by his works?? There is NO FAITH ALONE at any time. Paul said his faith is worhless if he doesn't have LOVE. Add just ONE THING to faith... and it is no longer faith alone. 1 Corinthians 13:1 1 If I speak with the tongues of men...

Interesting. So which are the ALL NATIONS in the Abrahamic Covenant? And WHO is allowed into the New Covenant? The answer is: EVERYONE

I agree with your first sentence. Persons have always been saved by their faith..their belief in God. The Jews made sacrifices.... Jesus was the last sacrifice...which is also valid for Gentiles.

OK Doug. Thanks for replying. Cannot agree at all. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom as being in effect right now. I'll post the following verses but am unwilling to debate this. Matthew 6:33 33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Mark...

Sorry marks,,, the above is not helpful. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom. Could you please explain YOUR understanding of what Jesus meant by THE KINGDOM.... Matthew 6:33 33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after John...

marks,,, Could you please explain what the Kingdom is. You quoted Matthew 24 above. It speaks of the Kingdom.... the gospel of the Kingdom. Thanks.

I do agree that God did not reveal everything we know about Him today all in one time but over time..ending with Jesus. But has God treated us in different ways? Just answer these two questions please: 1. How were persons in the OT saved? 2. Do you give any creedence to the Covenants? Thanks.

What is the gospel of the Kingdom??

God bless you and your family §David.

Great OP! Agreed on all.

Amen to that!

I've tried to tell this to Bread several times. I don't find this attitude to be helpful for the CC. I DO wish he would change, but he's probably very frustrated after many years of this and is unable to do so.

oops! Changing the subject again! And you apparently missed all my posts with scripture. Including no. 324 Here it is again... it's YOUR scripture which, apparently, is misunderstood.... --------------------------------------------------------------- post no. 324 Clear scripture is "my...

Let's find out what Calvin taught that Jesus DID NOT teach: 1. TOTAL DEPRAVITY.....claims man is unable to seek God. The bible does not agree. Acts 17:27 27That they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Isaiah 55:6 6“Seek the Lord while he may be found...

Great scripture David... Thanks!

Peter's church faded away? Where did you learn this? Peter's church is still here today.... James 3.1 1 Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

What an interesting concept! So, according to what you've written above... the Trinity did not exist either in the OT or the NT UNTIL somebody wrote about it after all the Apostles were already dead. Read through it. There are no differences. YOU are creating them. Apparently it makes no...
