    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. The believer must show love in order too have true faith (Matt. 25:31-46, Eph. 5:6, 1 Cor. 13:13, 1 Cor. 13:2) - or its worthless. And the fact remains that if you deny the nature of God in the Triune Godhead - you have invented a FALSE god. This is a direct violation of the First...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    TRANSLATION: "I don't have a case, so I'll hide behind idiotic generalizations." That's what I thought . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. Baptisms are ALWAYS performed by Church leaders in the NT. They are NEVER performed by the general public. Like I said - show me ONE example of a "self-Baptism" . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Again - when you speak in generalizations, it tells me that you don't have a case . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    If you believe that priestly celibacy leads to child molestation - you are ignorant of the causes. Psychologically speaking - the textbook example of a child molester is a married man.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And therein lies the problem. Doctrines should NOT continually "evolve". This leads to perversion of doctrine. They need to be defined, as the Church has done. As for YOUR reason for a celibate priesthood - this is nonsense. It was modeled after Christ - and Paul's recommendation for celibacy.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And now, you are trying to nitpick because you are backed into a corner. It means exactly the SAME thing. When in doubt - always go back to the original Greek . . . The word used here is stay-rig-mos' (στεριγμοσ) and it means: Firm conditon; Stability; Steadfastness This is what "security"...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    First of all - onl;y a small percentage of priests were onvolved in the sex scandal - less than 1 %. Secondly - they sinned - just like everybody who is in the Body of Christ else sins (1 Tim. 1:15, 1 John 1:8, Rom. 7:14-25). If they repent - they are forgiven and are STILL part of the Body...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    You didn't answer my question: Did Peter LIE when he stated that the the followers of Christ were "living stones" and a "holy priesthood" (1 Pet. 2:5)?? Not that difficult to answer . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Show me ONE example in Scripture of a "self-Baptism" . . . Isn't that a requirement for you Sola Scripturists - BIBLICAL proof??

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And this is just another cowardly non-response. Speaking in generalizations doesn't make your case . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. There is NO provision in ALL of Scripture for "self-Baptism." One is Baptized INTO Christ and His Church BY His Church - NOT by themselves.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    If you have a problem with what I am saying - blame GOD - not me. HE is the one who authored the Bible - and the Bible is where we get the information about this . . . 2 Peter 3:17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    They absolutely place them outside the Body of Christ. When you deny the nature of God - you have invented a different god - and this is a direct violation of the First Commandment. No - and I've already addressed this ad nauseam. A person who dies 2 minutes after coming to faith yet never had...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Investors lose they "security" every day by making bad decisions. SAME goes for the sinner . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Sooooo, Peter LIED when he called the followers of Christ "living stones" and a "holy priesthood" (1 Pet. 2:5)?? Is that what they teach you at "aggressivechristianity.net"??

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Once again - you FAIL to understand the difference between my OWN works - and those that God prepared for me in advance. They are ONLY efficacious when done for HIS glory. Hope that finally sinks in . . . The Pharisees weren't followers of CHRIST. BIG difference. Christ left His CHURCH in...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. Denial of the Trinity and Christ's deity is denial of Christ and the invention of a different god than the God of the Bible. As for abortion - I'm not talking about women who have HAD abortions and repent of them. I'm talking about so-called "Chrtistian" churches that uphold abortion in...

    Is There Different Beliefs Among Catholics? Chrislam Movement?

    Sooooooooo, you then have to explain why you and others have in the past posted Rom. 3:10 when we Catholics speak of Mary's sinlessness. You guys here tell us emphatically that there are "NONE righteous" for ALL have sinned (Rom. 3:10). NOW, you're saying that this isn't true and that there ARE...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Hi Helen - I believe in that verse. However, things may change in our lifetime - by our own doing. We stumble - and sometimes fall away. Remember - Jesus also says the following: Matt. 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ONLY the one who does...
