No, he can't, because he's too busy spewing the barbs of his religion-hating agenda. Thanks for your support. :) He just turned on me like a cat when I started this thread. Something just snapped. We were getting on fine before.

Actually, The RCC already has a union of church and state: The Vatican. (They're just looking to expand it globally, by "new humanism" and climate change). Hasn't it been a sovereign nation since 1929? Correct me if I'm mistaken. (Unless you're just interested in hostile, preditory nitpicking of...

Then I must be insane because I sincerely believe nothing could be further from the truth. Even the good works that I do are tainted with selfishness. All my righteousness are as filthy rags. Somehow God sees through this to my heart and judges whether it's safe to save me and that I won't start...

I've read all the "bits," so you could just be nice and get off your high horse for a while. According to the Bible, I don't have much choice. So it doesn't really matter what I would rather do.

Do you really think that I'm stupid enough to believe that I can get to Heaven on the merit of my own works? Really? Really? Really?

I can't help it if you can't/won't tell the difference between being "judged by works" and being "saved by works." By the way, you're trolling, you know.

Otis's right. All they undertsand's a leg o' lamb.

Their daddies could've saved theirselves the expense of a double funeral if they would've just let them had a cheap weddin'.

Hi Folks, And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Revelation 20:13)

Hi, Please see post #75

Hi Ronald, See post #76

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17) Either Jesus and Paul are contradicting each other (not possible) or one of these passages is being misinterpreted (and I don't think it's the simple one in Matthew). What do...

People love to say this, and what they usually mean is that, until Sinai, we didn't know what sin is. I don't know exactly who "we" includes but the topic of "sin" is found throughout the book of Genesis and God's people at that time (long before Sinai) seemed to know what "sin" was, including...

Matthew 28 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

More hypocrisy. Nice.

The Bible also reports that the serpent said: "Ye shall not surely die."

I just figured it out. "You are wrong" is fine as long as it's coming from your keyboard. That's pretty hypocritical coming from someone who constantly bemoans dispute over orthodoxy.

By the way, religion may not be the dirty word you seem to think it is. It's in the Bible: Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27)

Sorry. My parents expected me to obey them when I was a child. When I learned that God was my Heavenly Father and that He expected me to obey, too, it just seemed perfectly natural. Didn't mean to disappoint you.

I've never heard of anything like that in my life.
