Not at ALL. I am forgiven per Jesus's prescription - not YOURS.

WRONG. It doesn't "deny" anything. It give the CONDITIONS for Rom. 10:13. NO contradiction - just perfect harmony . . .

Then give me a SINGE INSTANCE of an "unjust" excommunication during the Inquisitions. If you can't - you've LOST the argument because YOU brought up the Inquisitions in the first place.

WRONG. I'll explain again . . . Rom. 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This MUST be read in CONTEXT with verses like the following: Matt. 7:21 NOT EVERY ONE that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the...

What's wrong with you? I have a life outside this forum - a family and a home and a job. I don't sit in front of the computer all day holding my breath for YOU to post. I have other responsibilities. I just got back from confession if you must know.

WRONG. That's precisely what Matt. 7:21 is saying - and it's NOT inconsistent with Scripture. It's ONLY inconsistent with YOUR cherry-picking of Scripture. WRONG again. God only deals in truth - and if you don't have any actual facts - then your entire case collapses like a house of cards.

That kind of generalization wouldn't hold up in ANY court. Those kinds of ignorant generalizations are why there was a Holocaust. Unless you can show me an "unjust" case of excommunication- your argument circles the drain . . .

You just don't get it - DO you? Rom. 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This MUST be read in CONTEXT with verses like the following: Matt. 7:21 NOT EVERY ONE that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the...

Produce a case that YOU find was "unjust". Otherwise, your accusations ore nonsense.

Funny - I can't fin ONE VERSE that says the Eucharist is a mere "symbolic" gesture. Perhaps YOU can show me the verse. . . . John 6:53-56 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds...

WRONG. Excommunication is a BIBLICAL remedy that is geared toward returning a person back to the fold: Matt. 18:17-18 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you...

3 John 9-10 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Gee that sounds like Luther, Calvin and all of their ecclesial offspring . . .

And that's the REAL problem, isn't it? When you have tens of thousands of disjointed and perperpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach competing doctrines based on what THEY believe the Holy spirit is telling them - you have confusion. In other words - "Blind" guides . . .

NOPE - but MANY people have - and MANY people will. And as long as you understand that true faith is NOT just "believing" in Christ but OBEYING Christ - then your text in RED is correct. Remember - is ALL you do is "believe" - you're NO better off than the demons, who do the same (James 2:19)...

It's not MY "show off" word - it's GOD'S. the Holy Spirit is the Author of Scripture and inspired the writers to use that word. If you can't deal with it - just say so and move on. Leave the real debating for the educated Scriptural students . . .

Yup - Galatians is the Book that explicitly tells is that the ONLY thing that matters is "faith WORKING through love" (Gal. 5:6). Now that's cooperation . . .

Then show me a verse that says that because that's NOT what Psalm 19 is about.

A "Gift" by definition is something that "HAS" to be received in order for it to be a gift. A gift that has been returned by the receiver is no longer a gift. PS - you STILL need to explain how those with an "Epignosis" of Christ can LOSE their security per Heb. 10:26-27 and 2 Pet. 2:20-22 . . .

And there YOUgo again adding to Scripture what s NOT there.

That is an asinine statement. "Cherry-picking" is merely a euphemism for incorrectly selecting single verses of Scripture.
