Paul asked if we should sin more so that grace may abound more. He said: MAY IT NEVER BE! So maybe we should sin a lot so we could need God more? Enough for what? For you to not even be SORRY for your sins? John was an Apostle. John said to confess our sins. Isn't that good enough for you...

Nice to see that all 3 who voted marked off YES.... repentance is necessary for salvation. Now let's watch the rejections get posted. FAITH ALONE is not biblical. This is because other qualities are taught besides faith. WE ARE TO CONFESS. ROMANS REPENT....ACTS BE BAPTIZED....ACTS CONFESS...

Agreed. Just one small nuance and it's these nuances that are causing some confusion. You said: CHRIST NEVER TOLERATES SIN. FAITH IS ACCOMPANIED BY OBEDIENCE. Good. But why finish off with A JESUS WHO ALLOWS SOMEONE TO REMAIN IN THEIR SIN IS NOT A SAVIOR AT ALL. Does man lose his free will...

@bdavidc I can't seem to find that thread of yours. It's from July and it was about denominations.... sorry I can't remember more. If you could find it,,,tag me in.

You really do seem to know Greek. I respect you for that. I usually have to explain John 3.36 by those that do NOT WANT TO OBEY.... and state that it was incorrectly translated and should be DO NOT BELIEVE (instead of do not obey). Yes sir. In Greek disbelieving and disobeying are synonymous...

I'm talking about saved people bdavidc. Unsaved people are LOST. Has God totally changed YOUR heart? Hate to get personal, but you NEVER sin? I think you get the point.

Did I post John 15:2 ? I think I did. What you wrote above is NOT what Jesus is teaching in John 15.2

Study some more. It would behoove you. Thanks for the §Greek lesson. §We want to know Greek...apparently we can't trust the NT translators.... Do you believe LAWLESS means NOT OBEYING CHRIST'S LAW? You're adding words. Above you stated precisely what Matthew 7.21 means... why are you changing...

I'm not going to be debating this... I REALLY mean I'm tired of debating with Christians as to whether or not we're required to obey God. The NT teaches that our lives are to change.... This requires doing good works. Jesus set up His Kingdom on earth...an unseen Kingdom of the spirit. IF we...

I read a thread of yours last night to which I plan to respond because I think we'll agree on a lot. But I read all of the below and I DO think we Protestants are changing the rules of Christianity. It's really being watered down and I find it rather distressing. Islam is growing...but more...

How does a person change a church? I know priests personally. They know what I don't agree with re the CC. Do you think it does any good? Sometimes one might even agree with me.... does it change the church? One time, years ago, one that I don't see much anymore, told me that the CC wanted to...

Yes sir. This is also what Paul taught to the church in Corinth.

Well, if we cannot judge then Matthew 18 makes no sense at all. Jesus said to approach the one sinning.... if they do not listen go to the elders. If they still won't listen then He said to treat the sinners like the tax collectors. If we couldn't judge... HOW would anyone know who is sinning...

Amigo....I have become non-denominational...so you're preaching to the choir! I'm not Catholic due to the dogmas.... I'm having problems with Protestantism because we can't make up our mind what we believe... so....just trust in God. And obey Him.

You said this. Any system that adds works, (you do not believe in any system that adds works.) So do you believe you are to do good works or not? This seems to me to have become a very confused question for some. They reply that, yes, we are to do good works... but somehow they are not...

OK You're not a Calvinist.

You don't believe we Protestants are to do good works? Is John 6:44 correct or is John 12:32 correct? 6:44 44 "No one can come to Me unless * the Father who sent Me draws him; 12:32 32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

Where does it state this? Calvinism has not only added to the word of God... It has changed the character of God. Do you also hate Calvinists?

You enjoy arguing. I don't. But you STILL have not said anything of substance. You've posted something from the CCC... THAT is how you debate your point. WHERE in CCC 1367 does it state that Jesus is RECRUCIFIED at every Mass? He is offered.... NOT recrucified. And what makes you think you...

I agree. But I really dislike when a denomination is misrepresented. I dislike Calvinism...but I know why. I studied it for myself for a really long time. The other member clearly stated that he learned from a priest that left the church and is condemning it. I'm sure he has his reasons for...
