I'll make you a deal - YOU show me the explici6t teaching of Sola Scriptura from Scripture - and I will give you the verse YOU are demanding. Here's what the Bible says about the fallacy of "Scripture alone" . . . 2 Thess. 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught...

Not if you commit sin that causes death. Whereas ALL sin damages our relationship with God - grave or mortal sin cuts us off from God's grace (causes death - 1 John 5:17). Yeah - YOU think Jesus was lying in Matt. 16:18. when He guaranteed that it would never fail - and in John 16:12-15 which...

Nonsense. History shows us that the ONLY Christian Church at the end of the first century was the Catholic Church. And the Bible says that – - The Church is the Body of Christ and He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:12-31, Eph. 4:3-6, Col. 1:8). - Jesus said that HE is the Light of the World (John...

Apparently, you didn't learn a THING from the lesson I taught you back in post #494. According to Protestant author, Philip Jenkins, in his book, Pedophiles and Priests - the problem is FAR WORSE in Protestant sects than in the Catholic church - and he lays out the legal statistics to prove it...

Nope. You don't have to be justified again. You don't even have to sin.

QUOTE="Ferris Bueller, post: 1168236, member: 9156"]Show me where it says that. I see where it says if you fall away you can't be restored to repentance because it subjects Christ to open shame so God doesn't allow it. 6and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they...

The lack ignorance and lack if faith in your comment above in RED is astounding - especially for a person who claims to follow Christ. Jesus GUATANTEED that His Church would NOT succumb to darkness (Matt. 16:18) - yet YOU have this happening in the first 200 years of the Church's history...

And, as I explained in my last post - the Catholic Church is not a “denominiatio0n”. iI is the Original Tree of Christianity from which Protestant denominations splintered and continue to splinter to this day to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed factions. Correct – and not a single...

The context of Heb. 6:4-6 is NOT that God cannot restore a fallen away Christian. This Book was written to JEWISH Christian converts who once trusted in the Law and the Old Covenant. - In chapters 1 and 2, Jesus is shown to be greater than the angels and is revealed as God. - Chapters 3 and 4...

And this is perhaps your most naïve – and ignorant response. The Catholic Church didn’t start calling itself the Universal Church in the 16th century when you man-made Protestant factions were being assembled. It has been called this since the time of the Apostles. I even quoted Ignatius of...

Thank you for admitting that. The Catholic Church is not a “denominiatio0n” – it is the Original Tree of Christianity from which Protestant denominations splintered and continue to splinter to this day to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed factions. As to your 2nd unbiblical fallacy...

Because you lack the maturity to accept that I conceded the fact that I replied to your initial response in error so you keep harping on it. Probably because it’s the only “victory” you’ve had in our dialogue . . .

The Bible teaches that there was ONE Church in the NT which was in several LOCATIONS (THE Church IN Corinth, THE Church IN Ephesus, THE Church IN Galatia, etc.). It was NOT a gaggle of "denominations" with different and competing doctrines. Church History teaches us WHAT the name of that ONE...

And the fact that you can't drop this already shows me TWO things: - You are too full of self-pride to let this go. - You lack the maturity to let this go. Nobody is attacking you. I have repeatedly conceded the fact that I was mistaken when I responded to your initial post. Now - let's see...

And this goes back to my point about WHAT true faith is. True faith = Belief + Complete Surrender (trust, works, obedience). Willful disobedience is NOT a matter of unbelief - but a lack of faith. The people in Matt. 7:21 truly though that they were saved because the believed by the works they...

Then, you disagree with Jesus. Jesus stated that the ONLY sin that would not be forgiven was blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:31). In context, this means FINAL impenitence and refusal to accept the truth. As long as we are alive - there is ALWAYS a chance to repent, as we see in the...

Technically-speaking - a person CAN become "unjustified" if they lose their security by their own doing(Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Pet. 2:20-22). Salvation is NOT a gift that cannot be refused - or even returned. As with EVERY gift - its fate is in the hands of the recipient. As to your 2md false...

NOT necessarily. Even the demons believe in the truths about God and even tremble (James 2:19) - but they are NOT obedient.

I've been debating OSAS with others for his entire thread. When you challenged my beliefs - I assumed you were in the OSAS camp. I already acknowledged this - so why are you belaboring the point?

Not ONLY are your claims above in RED false - they are NOT taught in Scripture. Jesus told His Church that it would be guided by the Holy Spirit to ALL TRUTH (John 16:12-15) and gave that ONE Church supreme earthly Authority - that WHATEVER it loosed or held bound on earth would be loosed and...
