Be careful V... Romans 9 is talking about THE JEWS and not individual believers... It's about corporate salvation....the salvation of a group....God can do with the Jews as He wishes ... extend the gift of faith to the gentiles...so the Jews will become jealous and MAYBE be saved by this. Paul...

I'm not ignoring you V, it's late here and you've written a lot. Tomorrow morning...

How could God contradict Himself???

I agree wholeheartedly.... But I do not see anywhere in the N.T. or O.T. that can support the TULIP... Not even the P.

In a sense I agree with the above. Man is not truly free until he shakes off his shoulders the voice of satan. We are the slaves to one one to whom we present ourselves. Romans 6:16 which Jesus Himself states in John 15:5 Those who abide in HIM will bear much fruit... and without Him we can do...

Here's what is most believed about Ephesians 2:8 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; It's asked what is the gift from God in the above verse. Is it Grace? Faith? Salvation? (of which it's speaking). It's believed by some...

Hi @"ByGrace" I'm so sorry to find out you're not well Helen. Our prayers are with you, and I'll certainly remember you in mine. Will be checking in to see how you're doing. God's blessings be with you and your family... GG

And it took a lot of time too. The net helps us...but I don't like to depend on it for learning.... which is why I ask questions to learn the beliefs of others instead of going to the net. It's not because I'm lazy....

You're new here and I'm having a little difficulty understanding you.... But the above sounds good....I couldn't quite get what you were saying in your other post. I brought up about the catholic church's teaching that missing one Mass is a mortal sin because you had said that we cannot commit...

I have access to Catholic scholars --- 2 to be precise. I still have to ask about levitation being demonic because someone mentioned St. Teresa levitating and brought this up. I will also ask about Joachim da Fiore and this idea of man becoming perfect with time. I can't remember much about it...

This is my experience. My friends are always talking about what the church is doing and what some priest is doing. They never speak about Jesus or some bible verses or some biblical concept. I think the CC does not proclaim the gospel clearly enough. I hear the priest saying that we have to...

It's funny how we could be sad and yet joyful. Your post made me sad,,,and yet I felt joy that God is so close to you and that you could look forward to being with your life's partner again. To be honest, it brought tears to my eyes. We still feel so young at the age of 71. But her words to you...

Hey CP,,, You sure did write a lot. Are you saying mortal sin cannot be forgiven? Are you catholic ?? Catholics teach that if you miss ONE MASS you've committed a mortal sin. Do YOU agree with this? The bible states there is ONLY ONE sin that cannot be forgiven... the sin of unbelief. Do you...

No one said slavery doesn't still exist. But it is NOT commonly accepted by the majority of the world's population. It IS seen as an evil whereas it was previously seen as a normal condition of humanity. This IS progress.

I agree that we're becoming more civilized. I remember reading a long time ago that the CC used to believe that men would become better and more civilized and more intelligent and wise as time went on and when the ultimate was achieved THIS would be the new earth. I can't prove this or even...

This is one of the problems. There was some talk years ago of Mary being titled co-redemptrix. A whole lot of talk about what CO means in the latin, how it doesn't mean another one the same as, but a helper. Well, I don't think Jesus needed any help. Some countries really need Mary because of...

I DID NOT say that all of Deuteronomy is of Moses. Jesus DID correct what Moses had allowed in Deuteronomy. Because men's hearts were hardened? In Romans God left the men whose hearts had been hardened to THEMSELVES,,,He did not give them a new rule to suit them. Romans 1:24

I agree that we need churches. Many times I've said that, as humans, we need an institution just so we could keep the glue tight and stay together. What I'm saying is that we should not put our FAITH into that institution... our faith goes to God. When Jesus gave the Great Commission, of...

What a wonderful testimony! This is what is meant by God working all things for the good. It sounds like your wife has gone on to be with God and I am sorry for this but God is helping you even with that. I don't know what a shmita is...I'm kind of hoping it's not a CHILD! 7 would be quite a...
