I'm not disagreeing with your premise, that faith is all that is required. I do have a question however. What is your faith, or your belief in God, accomplishing for God? Because it isn't all about you, and I'm sure you understand that. So what else, apart from your salvation, is your faith in...

I didn't consider that a discussion. You just rehashed, regurgitated what was likely Jesuit obfuscation to destroy Protestant theology...which is why you are here, and I have no real interest in spending valuable time going down your endless rabbit trails. Isaiah 8:20 stands alone and is...

Bro, I agree with you except in one small minute detail. When the apostle said all will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, remember also the he said judgement begins in the house of God. Remember also that when Jesus returns, only the saved are resurrected and translated, therefore...

Jesus is not omnipresent. He is mediating physically in the heavenly sanctuary before the throne of the Father. What we have with us presently is His Spirit. What the nature of the Spirit is we haven't been informed, but He's here to lead is to the physical Christ, to teach us about the Way...

Fruit. That's the natural result unless one is attached to the wrong vine. But I'm always uncomfortable boasting. However, my testimony I am not shy to share as you suggest, it is all Christ's work in us, not our own doing right?

Great question. Having read only your first post, I shall now proceed to see the answers, which I suspect will be varied, contradictory to one another, off topic, and in some cases unbiblical. What a pessimist I must be. We shall see.

Actually, in all my reading of scripture I have come across only one line of thought that prevents salvation. Loss of faith. Unbelief.

In addressing the OP...a number of points. No-one can keep themselves sinless...or anyone else. The just shall live by faith We can do all things in Christ. Abiding in the Vine, results in the branch feasting upon the strength and nourishment provided by the Vine. The result of receiving...

It's interesting that there is only one definition of sin in scripture, although there are a couple of allusions to sin. This is specific... KJV 1 John 3:4 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. These are non specific... KJV James 4:17...

Are you telling us that all these good works are essential for salvation? I noticed a couple of things quite conspicuous by their absence... Abiding in Jesus, without which all the above would be impossible, and if they were possible, without Jesus would be futile... and faith, through which...

One would more believe your posts about Calvinist lack of sympathy for the lost if you had some. Your accusations against other posters that they need Jesus and your complete disdain for their assumed parlous need of redemption reveals your own shortcomings reflective of the state of those you...

Good post.

And I would suggest that this grafting back is on an individual basis, not a national basis.

There was no discussion. In response to my quote of scripture you copied Mungo's source which is merely a denial of the truth of the scripture I quoted, rendering it holistically irrelevant by limiting it's relevance to one event in history. Your church did the same with the 4th Commandment...

The Catholic encyclopedia isn't official source material for Catholic faith and practise? Even with the imprimatur of the Vatican? And a "Converts Catechism to the Catholic Doctrine" by a Redemptorist Father is unreliable and not a source to be trusted? And then you quote so called church...

Because the traditions that resulted in a pretended sacredness of Sunday is unsafe seeing it has no foundation in scripture.

What discussion? I'm not entering into a discussion with Catholic apologists seeking to destroy Protestant faith in God's word. Cleave to your false traditions if you must... Leave us alone to follow our own path. I trust the scriptures. You would do better to do the same, but it's your choice.

When was the last time you read the commandment itself? You are correct, the Sabbath was a gift for the benefit of mankind. That gift is opened when we obey the Commandment. It isn't up to us to change the day according to our convenience. It's up to us to keep a specific day, the seventh, holy...

No. Your church used politics, threats, and force of arms to coerce the world to submit to a counterfeit authority that usurped the word of God and replaced it with a magisterium that "interprets" the scriptures to blend with your pagan roots. I say pagan roots, because the Catholic Church as an...

To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20. KJV Psalms 119:97, 104 97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
