    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No, you haven't. HOW is my view "heretical"??

    I know I want to know why HE thinks that having followed Jesus for His entire ministry was required of Matthias.

    And WHY do you think that was a requirement for the successor of Judas?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And the fact remains that NONE of the verses you presented support Sola Fide – that salvation is by Faith ALONE. You actually accused me of “Heresy” yet you cannot show HOW this is “heretical”. That’s your quandary. The same is true for Sola Scriptura. It cannot be shown by the very...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    It’s called deductive reasoning. You can come to a fairly accurate conclusion when a person puts out a clear signal. It’s similar to when a child swears that he didn’t eat that last piece of chocolate cake in the refrigerator – yet he had chocolate frosting and cake crumbs stuck to his face...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    The Bible is clear that Faith =Belief+Obedience. Anything less is NOT faith . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    “Weirdo”? It’s hilarious how YOU constantly accuse me of “name-calling” – yet it’s YOU who engages in name-calling and NOT me. “Weirdo”, “dunce”, “idiot”, etc. – you’re FULL of them. As for Scripture NOT implying that Mary was born sinless – that is incorrect. It doesn’t explicitly say that...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    You’re moving the goalposts again, Davy. We were talking about what TRUE FAITH is – not what salvation is. STICK to the argument at hand. I have presented a solid Scriptural argument about true faith – and HOW the Bible describes it. CAN you refute this??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sooooo, the Bible says that TRUE faith is embodied by the person who: - is baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) - picks up his cross daily to follow him (Matt. 16:24, Luke 9:23) - performs works of mercy and charity (Matt. 19:21, 25:31–46, Luke...

    Cherry-picking my posts again? Ummmmmm, why don’t you post the ENTIRE response? You won’t because it’ll prove your complete fraudulence. If you were to post everything I said instead is a tiny snippet – you would see that I was talking about Mary’s status as “Kecharitomene”. “Completely...

    You can deny all you want but they're BOTH Scriptural tenets - and I gave you PLENTY of Scripture to support them.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Not ONE of those verses supports the man-made, 16th century invention of Sola Fide. The simply extol the importance of believing. Here's another one about "believing" . . . James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the DEMONS believe—and shudder! No - BIBLICAL faith is more...

    Good - then we won't be interrupted by your childish outbursts.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    You're absolutely right. NOWHERE does Scripture say that the entire Body of believers has Supreme Authority. Jesus was speaking to the LEADERS of His Church when He transferred this power: the power to forgive or retain sin and to bind or loose. In the Gospel, when Jesus spoke to the crowds...

    Then show me a verse that teaches Sola Fide. It doesn't exist . . .

    "Tenet" . . . - Baptismal regeneration - The Real Presence These were tenets of the historic Christian faith for about 1500 years befor your Protestant Fathers rebelled.

    TRANSLATION: "I have NO refutation for the Biblical truth yo have presented." That's what I thought . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Then, why don’t YOU tell us what James is saying in James 2:24 . . . As for the Church’s God-Given Authority – it isn’t a “man-made” organization – but the Body of Christ, built by Christ himself. Finally – I NEVER said you were NOT a Christian. Why don’t you try being honest, for a change. I...
