Yes, we're ALL aware of which sect YOU belong to . . .

I don't make excuses here. I only tell the truth . . .

And as I have educated you several times now - to perpetuate a lie is the SAME as making it up. It's the sin of calumny - and it's worse than gossip.

In the Catholic Mass - we spend about 30-40 minutes being immersed in the Liturgy of the Word in order to prepare ourselves for Christ in the Eucharist.

That's because you're not a member of my Church - so this doesn't really apply to you. If you are a Baptized Christian - you are incorporated into the Body of Christ - but are self-separated from it.

And you're STILL bitter that I've exposed your lies on this forum. As for the discussion we're having now - we have a difference of opinion - so learn to live with it.

ONE more time – EVERY one of the verses I presented illustrate the obedience of faith that Paul describes in Rom. 1:5, rom 16:26 and that James talks about in James 2:14-26. Faith is NOT just “belief”. As James reminds us – even the DEMONS believe (James 2:19) – so what good is mere belief...

I never said that faith was not belief. Go back and READ my post. I said that faith is not JUST belief – and the context of Scripture supports this. The verses YOU presented ONLY had to do with the “belief” part of faith but not the cooperation part. This is what happens when you cherry-pick...

No – you were wrong. You paraphrased what you THOUGHT the Bible was saying – and it wasn’t saying that at all. The verses YOU provided merely warn us to check our own conscience before we judge another person. I wasn’t judging YOU anyway – but your ACTIONS. The verses I presented (John 7:24, 1...

That's NOT what the Bible says. In fact - Scripture tells us to JUDGE rightly (John 7:24) and rebuke publicly those who persist in sin (1 Tim. 5:20). You kept repeating the same lies, so that was the Biblical prescription I used.

I'm not surprised that YOU don't see faith in any of those verses. That's because you have a false understanding of what faith is. You're still under the false, unbiblical, post 16th century idea that faith is just "belief".

And it's not up to YOU to determine if my soul is saved or not, my arrogant friend. That's up to GOD and God ALONE. Your arrogance is matched only by your dishonesty.

I've been to DOZENS pf Protestant services. 9 of my 12 siblings are Protestant, so it's kind of difficult NOT to have heard Protestant sermons. And NO - I'm not going to leave Christ's Church because YOUR pastor misinterpreted Scripture. YOUR misinterpretations won't make me leave - so why...

No - I never called you anything. And when you choose to spread misinformation - YOU are guilty of the lies you spread. It's NO different than gossip . . .

You’re cherry-picking again. You pluck verses like Eph 1:13-14 to show that by simple “belief”, we receive the Holy Spirit. Let’s examine what the Scriptural prescription for “belief” actually IS:- Being Baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) -...

No, I'm not watching a 90 minute video. Just give me the highlights.

I never called you anything. I exposed you for lying. That is a forgiveable sin, so I never condemned you, either.

Then articulate that in your post intead of making me watch a long-winded 90 minute video . . .

We receive the Holy Spirit by being BAPTIZED (John 3:5, Acts 2:38-29). This is part of that pesky cooperation with God’s grace that I was talking about - that YOU reject. And, you STILL haven’t told me how a gift remains a “gift” without the cooperation of the person receiving the gift . . .

I don't condemn anybody.
