The Bible doesn't support YOUR perversion of what the Church is. It is not a loose gaggle of dispersed "believers". Tt is ONE, unified, visible body (John 17:20-23, Matt.514) who ALL believe and practice in like mind, spirit and doctrine (Eph. 4:5) and NO Protestant splinter group fits that...

WRONG again. You cannot have true faith witho0ut ALL THREE of the virtues Paul speaks about in 1 Cot. 13:1-13 - Faith (belief/pis'-tis) Hope (expectation of salvation/el-pece') Charity (love/ag-ah'-pay) That's the entire point of this passage. Like James's explanation of true faith in James...

Faith formed by charity (Gal 5:6, 1 Cor. 13:1-13, James 2:26). 1 Coe 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as...

This is absolutely FALSE - and you have been shown this on numerous occasions. The NT was written in Koine Greek - no English. "Believing"(pist-yoo'-o/verb, James 2:19) is NOT always the same as "Believing"(pist-yoo'-o/verb, Acts 16:31).

And again, you show that you have a shallow and myopic understanding of the Gospel. The Parable of the Prodigal Son is polyvalent in its meaning. In other words – it is far broader than your narrow interpretation because of your continued refusal to read the entire CONTEXT of the verses...

The Bible doesn't support YOUR perversion of what the Church is. It is not a loose gaggle of dispersed "believers". Tt is ONE, unified, visible body (John 17:20-23, Matt.514) who ALL believe and practice in like mind, spirit and doctrine (Eph. 4:5) and NO Protestant splinter group fits that bill.

WRONG again. As I have educated you several times now - the SAME Greek word is used for "Faith" and "Belief". James explicitly point out that even the DEMONS "believe" (pist-yoo'-o/verb) in the truths about God and shudder (James 2:19). They have belief (pis'-tis/noun) - but they do NOT have...

WRONG. That apostate person has a chance to repent as long as there is life in them. Jesus stated that the ONLY thing that would not be forgiven is FINAL impenitence – FINAL rejection of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:28-30). ALL sins can be forgiven during one's lifetime.

WRONG. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit spoken of in (Matt. 12:28-30) is about FINAL impenitence, in context. YOUR unbiblical position renders Jesus a fool and a liar for teaching the Parable of the Prodigal Son and telling Peter that he must show limitless forgiveness as God does. FINAL refusal...

QUOTE="Ferris Bueller, post: 1177144, member: 9156"]I belong to the body of Christ. The very body of Christ himself. The very same Spirit that is in Jesus is in me. I belong to his body. Correction - if you are a baptized non-Catholic Christian, you are related to the Body of Christ but...

As a Christian who is trying to help you from falling into this trap of cherry-picking that you keep throwing yourself into.

Once again – because of your cherry-picking, you have perverted the Scriptures to your own destruction (2 Pet. 3:16). If you actually believe that this verse means that you CANNOT be forgiven – then you have just called Jesus a ”Liar”, because He stated that the ONLY offense that would not be...

Read the ENTIRE chapter - NOT just a verse here and there., MOST of this chapter is about how God disciplines His children - NOT about how He condemns them. YOU have one verse contradicting another verse from one Book to another. Since you fancy yourself a "Lone Ranger Christian" and NOT part...

This is why I have repeatedly shown you that, in its proper CONTEXT – the Bible does not agree with your position. James 2:20-22 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son...

Once again – it’s NOT talking about the “impossibility” being God’s. It is an “impossibility” for the Jew (Hebrews) who has resolved to return to the Law, thereby nullifying the Sacrifice of Christ. The little “god” that YOU’VE invented for yourself may be limited – but NOTJING is impossible...

I have warned you repeatedly NOT to cherry-pick verses OUT of theit proper context – yet you continue to do so to your own destruction (2 Pet. 3:16). 2 Thess. 2:10-12 is talking about those who have chosen to believe the Antichrist in the END TIMES. It is NOT talking about born again...

Looks like it's time for another Bible Lesson . . . Whatr does the Bible say about sin, repentance and forgiveness? Jesus told Peter that he must forgive his brother an UNLIMITED amount of time (Matt. 18:22) Jesus tells the headstrong Pharisees that who REFUSE to believe in the truth about Him...

And yet, you wrongly interpret Heb. 4:6 in this way . . .

WRONG. Even apostasy can be repented of. Jesus stated explicitly that there was only ONE sin that was not forgivable - and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:31-32). In context - this is the sin of FINAL impenitence - nut I know how little regard YOU have for context . . .

That's because you refuse to read it Heb. 4:6 in CONTEXT with the rest of the Letter to the Hebrews. This is NOT describing the "unforgiveable sin" that Jesus spoke of in Matt. 12:31-32. I suggest you read the ENTIRE Book - and maybe it'll spark some understanding.
