Agreed on purgatory...this is an incorrect teaching. Adding scripture via the Pope? I don't know what you mean. Do you mean THIS Pope? I'd have to agree...but what he states in only important when he is speaking ex-cathedra although he causes harm to the church even when he makes a simple...

See Matthew 16:18 18“I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. In this verse Jesus says that He will build His church. The word used in Greek is Ekklesia.... Ekklesia does not mean church....TODAY we use the...

Let's be careful with history theefaith. I agree with you that the CC is the first and original church. It's the only church (denomination) which can be traced all the way back to the Apostles. However it was NOT the CC when Saul was being persecute. The Christians of that time still considered...

Here's what you said reformed: Heretical teachings by a heretical church. Some truth sprinkled with gross heresy. I am so glad we are free from the antichrist of the Roman Catholic Church. If you want salvation, get as far away from the Catholic church as you can. It holds the gates of Hell...

Farouk, Never saved in the first place is not shown to be anywhere in the N.T. I'd like to see some verse regarding this. The never saved to begin with idea comes from the reformed faith...or some call it Calvinism. This would be the P in the acronym T.U.L.I.P. The P stands for Perseverance of...

marks, there's no difference between Matthew and Luke. What would we be able to trust in the N.T. if there WAS a difference! In Matthew 13:21 Jesus is explaining the parable of the sower. Jesus explained that the seed DURETH FOR A WHILE, dureth for a while means that the belief was TEMPORARY...

Rejection of the CC is NOT rejection of Christ. Ramblings such as this cause many to dislike the CC.

The CC is not the anti-Christ. The anti-Christ is against Christ. The CC, for your information, was the first and original church that we can date back to the time of Jesus. You don't have to like all of its doctrines, but if you think it's heretical, you'll have to list why. And you're...

Yes. Someone that has had a marriage annulled, can get remarried and receive communion in the CC.

It's post 398... Here it is: marks... I learned early on that it's really important to read everything in context. The verse ITSELF (Colossians 3:1-3) gives us conditions. Colossians 3:1-3 1Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is...

The word had no root. But Jesus said the person in Luke 8 believed. The person heard the word with joy. Demons are not joyful at hearing the word. They do not believe the same way we do when we hear the gospel and come to believe in God. The "demon debate" just won't cut it. I hope you know...

I dislike debating this with you because you are NOT one of those that state they can live as they want to and still be saved. You, OTOH, are a follower of Jesus but just happen to believe in OSAS. If we have been raised with Jesus we will also appear with Him. God will see us all the way...

marks... I exegeted the verse for you a few posts back. Sometimes we read verses but do not take them in context because we love what they SEEM to say. Do you wish to go over this verse that you so love again?

How do you think demons believe? Do they believe in Jesus as in...Jesus is the demon's Lord? Do they have saving belief? Demons believe but are not saved shows a misunderstanding of the word BELIEVE as is used in the N.T. Your argument is moot.

No... By work I, and others that speak of work, mean ANYTHING we do to promote the Kingdom of God on this earth. It might be a specific work which God might or might not have planned for us. If this is so then the measure of faith we receive, Romans 12:3, will be for this reason. Or, it can be...

One could profess what one wishes to. If someone believes for a while....he is saved. Belief = Salvation If he loses that belief...he is no longer saved. No Belief = No Salvation

You got a few posters all mixed up Truman. But you should still be nice. Like a Christian should be.

God knows all.... He knows that one can come to believe and then lose that belief.... (Much like your horse race). The N.T. is full of verses to support the above. Again marks, one verse does not a doctrine make. Guess you can't post a different one....

Oh,,,I had already replied to your post.... So, can you please exegete for us the following verse? Matthew 5:37 “But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes ‘ or ‘No, no’ anything beyond these is of evil." Thanks. As for losing belief, my friend, it is YOU that does not agree with either Jesus or...

Could you post some verses please? Where does scripture state it is a permanent act? I do agree that we believe with the heart.... but we can also come to disbelieve...for instance when tribulation comes along, Jesus stated belief can be lost in Luke 8:13. Jesus stated this again in Luke 15:24...
