    @Wrangler @Truther ...Please tell us who... How many spirits... We have abiding within. KJV Romans 8:9-11 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you...

    You said, quote, So it would seem you need a scholar to explain the Bible to you. KJV Colossians 2:9 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. God entered Jesus' body after the resurrection? You got all that from Colossians 2:9? You know, I don't mind discussing scripture...

    CREATION On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back...

    Not by default. Like begets like. Each after it's own kind. It's a law of nature. With man and animals however our children, while similar, are not perfect reproductions. With God however, everything He does is perfect. The Son...His Son... Is a perfect reproduction of Himself, the Son having...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Totally agree with the above. One would think you are a protestant with this post. If you believe this, then why do you go to someone else other than Jesus? If Jesus is the only way to the Father, why do you take another route? Again, I cannot argue with this. Totally correct. God forbid that...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Indeed. And it is your church and the prelates thereof who decide what that truth is. Even 'truth' that contradicts scripture. And are then 'militant' against all who choose to honor scripture above your church traditions. This has nothing to do with truth... Even less to do with He Who is Truth.

    Question no Protestant can answer

    @theefaith KJV Matthew 20:20-28 20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other...

    The scriptures tell us that God gave us His only begotten Son. It isn't human reasoning that we should understand this as plain language. It isn't metaphorical or some spiritual analogy. If God tells us He gave us His Son, we must accept that He had a Son to give. We could reason that this is...

    I agree. But truth also conforms with language and common sense.

    If they are not distinct beings, then how can one be a Father and the other His Son?

    For free will believers out there

    Personality is the same as saying personal identity. Jesus, His personal identity, is a separate distinct being from the Father. Trinitarianism denies this. Trinitarianism teaches that the Son and the Father are inseparable. In the words of an orthodox priest, the Trinity is... "We maintain...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    I am thankful to @theefaith for his candor in describing the true nature of Catholicism, unlike other Catholics on this forum who choose to hide certain realities behind Their bluster. @theefaith has no qualms about openly admitting that his church has, in the past, used force of arms, torture...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    And according to Catholicism... You in particular... The utter removal of free conscience. Which is why the Catholic Church despises the US constitution and why Protestants in America should be deeply concerned with the ordinance of Catholics in government. Freedom of religion and freedom of...

    My mother is dead, just like Mary. No-one will find me by going to my mother.

    Jesus claimed to be the Son of God (John 3:16, John 5:25, 9:35-38, 10:36, 11:4, see also Matthew 22:41-46). Certain of the Jews regarded His claim as blasphemous (Mark 14:60-65 John 10:36). They knew He was claiming to be God (John 5:18, 10:30-33). It...

    You seem to think that 'begotten' means created. I disagree.

    No Law = Only Grace

    We are not deprived however of our choices. We can choose whether we live according to the spirit or the flesh. If, as I suggested earlier and did happen as recent unfortunate headlines informed the world, leading lights of the faith have chosen to walk according to that flesh, have lived their...

    No Law = Only Grace

    Jesus said so long as we abide in the Vine, then we are assured of our salvation. And there are sure indications that we may know we are actually abiding in Him, and not presuming based on preconceived ideas. "If you love Me, keep My Commandments". Obedience. If one is not living a life of...

    No. There are ways of using it that are wrong.

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Uh huh. So, to have a conscience and living according to what you believe scripture teaches according to conscience, in the eyes of Catholicism is worthy of death. No where in scripture is there any indication that the church is to carry out capital punishment upon anyone who believes different...
