I would suggest that the gospel came from Christ. I would also suggest that the first time the gospel was preached, on Pentecost, there was no written version, but those who preached the gospel did so by the power of the holy Spirit, a long time before there was any official organized...

And there you have confirmed and expressed most eloquently how the Catholic gospel is unbiblical, and therefore inadequate to the salvation of men. The gospel of the Catholic Church is about the value of human life as expressed in the life of Jesus. It is about the incarnation. The gospel of...

It's far easier to throw me under the bus, denigrate what I report, and write it off as heretical and divisive, rather than investigate for yourself the numerous histories that recount the incredibly wonderful efforts of God's people in bringing the gospel to heathen nations. But you are a...

No where have I spoken of an invisible church. How the Waldenses organized themselves I don't know. But they had the scriptures, and were otherwise known as insabbatatii. Which is why the Roman church hated them... They refused to honor the pagan day of the sun as Rome had established and...

The victory that Christ accomplished on our behalf was not only to free us from sins' condemnation. It was also to free us from sins' power. The first was at the cross... Justification. The second was in the resurrection... Sanctification. When He comes, Jesus will free us from sins' presence...

Serious? You no doubt believe yourself to be very clever, demanding writings from a people, for example the Waldenses, who were all but exterminated from the face of the earth were it not for the intervention of the protestant nations of Europe. As if your Catholic overlords were going to leave...

Everlasting punishment. What is that punishment? Death. Everlasting death, from which there is no resurrection. There is no resurrection from destruction. KJV Malachi 4:1-3 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be...

The word forever does not always mean what you want it to. See Exodus 21:6, 1 Samuel 1:22, Jonah 2:6. The word “eternal” (Hebrew ‘olam; Greek aion, aionios) carries different meanings, depending on the immediate context. For example, when associated with God (Deut. 33:27, “everlasting”), the...

2 Peter 2:6 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly. KJV Jude 1:7 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication...

For those who drowned, the wages of their sin was death. They were clearly beyond all hope of repentance. They died. And in the judgement, they will suffer in the lake of fire, and die the second death from which there will be no resurrection. Is that not biblical? Did that not reflect God's...

Through His humility and willingness to pay the ultimate price for our redemption, Jesus revealed to the entire universe the true character of His Father. God was not disinterested in the well being of His creation as the political lies from Lucifer had insinuated. Jesus was the express image...

Charming as usual. Very weak response. I've read the history of the Jesuits in Japan. You didn't think I had? Martyrs you say? They died because they demonstrated the righteousness of Christ? Nuh bro. They died because they were cruel murderers who practiced the same spirit of inquisition their...

We as children of the Most High are granted by the grace of God a sense of justice...a conscience that translates/understands/appreciates the difference between right and wrong. This we are born with, in some it is distorted through the events and trials of life and becomes blunted, and even...

As I said, God is love. That means there is nothing, absolutely nothing... God does nothing that is not motivated by love. There is love in the gospel, and if you read Revelation 14:6,7 you will discover that judgement is intimately connected to the gospel, therefore there is love in judgement...

It isn't one or the other. And I'm not talking about God's wrath, but eternal torment. The scriptures are clear in innumerable places. The wages of sin is death. Not the wages of sin is eternal life in torment.

Anyone who agrees with you in this, that God tortures people for all eternity with unrelenting agony and suffering, do not know God as they should. God is love. Where is the love in eternal torment?

The scriptures had long been available to the Celtic church, originally in itala, not Latin, derived from the Syrian church, not Roman. Copies of that Bible were produced in their hundreds over the centuries by the Celtic mission schools of Iona, Lindisfarne, and Whitby. Those schools were the...

They weren't invisible. If they were, the Catholic Church wouldn't have been able to send crusades to destroy them. They were organized mission focused organizations, with their own bishops/overseas (we won't go there) and a head they called Catholicos. The papal church was only just then...

Well, I am glad you also deny such a thing. However, you said God breathed into Adam the breath of life which elsewhere you equate to our 'real self', which enjoys the pleasure and sights of heaven and hell after death. The next logical step is to accept that the 'real self' with conscious...

Earlier in Luke 16 there were other parables... 1 ¶ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods... And in the previous chapter there is... 11 ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons: I...
