I agree with you. Which is why I don't define myself as Catholic. A problem in the church is that most don't even know what it teaches and you know this is true. I hang with traditional Catholics that are upset that the Tabernacle was moved to a side nave for reasons of quiet prayer. As to...

Really Episkipos, You don't have to answer my question. Good night.

Or YOU make discussion difficult. :(

LOL NOBODY could draw me in!! Been a mainline Christian too long! I'm VERY orthodox, and I don't mean the denomnation. Thanks for the heads up, but I kind of am understanding this already.

First of all, I find your beliefs very difficult to understand... I thought I did for a moment there, but guess not. Second....you state ON THAT DAY..... I like to be precise when I reply and want to understand what I'm replying to. I never guess as to what a person is saying, but like to...

Hmmm. So are you aware that some priests say that one could not believe some doctrine and still consider themselves a Catholic? Yes. I can attest to this in more ways than one. Not sure whether or not I agree with this. Used to be that you had to accept all dogma and doctrine or, at the least...

ON THAT DAY what? Can a carnal believer really be a believer? Isn't there supposed to be a transformation?

I think you're just simply explaining a legalistic person that feels they have to follow every jot and tittle, and the spiritual person that walks in love and love covers a multitude of sins. Could it be that simple?

Above sounds good. Except for what DEATH means. You used Genesis as an example. Adam died both spiritually and physically. For the wages of sin is death....also means physical death.... sin makes us die physically since the fall. Romans 5:12 where the above thought begins....is speaking of...

You think a child of God WILL obey God? So do you believe in sinless perfection too? Can't be explained any better EG. Do you believe in monergism or synergism? Do you have ANYTHING to do with your ongoing salvation or not? Do you expect Jesus to do EVERYTHING for you or do you think you can do...

I see. So what does this mean? Ephesians 2:14-22 14For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make...

Good to hear. Keep up the good work. Could you just explain what the traditions of man has to do with Matthew 5:20. Also could you state what you posted above in your own words.... I don't hear Jesus saying anything about hypocrites in Matthew 5:20.

No Jude. My objections are not in your link. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But we'll end it here. Let's just say that I don't think the CC should change.

The way you and others that say this do make it seem unimportant that we should obey God. I'll use a human example - something I hate to do. Let's say you're married. You really love your wife and you want to be with her forever. She tells you there's one thing you can't do --- you could never...

I'm not understanding what the other member is saying.

I know that you have a problem with this and so do others. I can't convince you and that's not what I'm here for. Let's put it this way: WHATEVER the reason as to WHY you obey God.... the fact remains that He MUST be obeyed. This is true only for believers....it's what Jesus taught, I've...

Being born again is not theology? What is it? It's soteriology.....a sub category of Theology. Theology is the study of God. Here's what it means to be born again: A PERSON COMES TO BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS. Romans 1:18-20 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness...

How do you know anything about me E? You sound like you believe in sinless perfection, which is not taught in the NT. Now, if you think I'm going to spend post after post trying to figure out what you believe.... you're mistaken. You can believe what you will. It's just that I'm willing to...

Uhm. I'm not discussing theology here with you. What I'm saying is that YOU CANNOT STATE WHO IS SAVED AND WHO IS NOT. THAT'S FOR GOD TO KNOW,,,,NOT YOU. Now, if you want to discuss theology,,,,I'll be more than happy.

Rita.... SHOW ME where I ever stated that someone is NOT BORN AGAIN......
