No - I WON'T do that because that is NOT what Scripture commands us to do. Scripture commands us to listen to the CHURCH as if we were listening to Christ and accept His CHURCH as we would accept HIM (Luke 10:16). Scripture tells us that WHATEVER His CHURCH ordains o earth shall be ordained in...

Your comment in RED is NOT supported by the CONTEXT of Scripture unless you cherry-pick verses here and there. Simply "believing" does NOT save you. James assures his readers that even the DEMONS believe and tremble (James 2:19), so if that is ALL you do - then you're NO better off than the...

No - I just know how to READ my Bible. YOU should try it sometime . . .

Here's the problem with that position, as I pointed out in post #21 and #176 . . . James the "brother" (adelphos) of Jesus is said to have been the son of Alphaeus or Clopas. The “other Mary” at the foot of the cross is described as being the mother of James and Joses. She is also described as...

The idiotic idea that 9/11 was an "inside" job is so mind-bogglingly stupid that one would have to ignore several things in order to believe it. You have to pretend that the Government would want to kill that many innocent Americans. Next - you would have to believe that THOUSANDS of people...

Not at all. Yours is a lucid, albeit erroneous argument. @101Gs posts are confused rants that make no sense. One of the big problems with your position are the names of the "brethren", who are shown to be the children of ANOTHER Mary standing near the cross, who is called the "sister"...

Whereas, I am in NO way agreeing with the psychotic ravings of @101G - it is not recorded that Jesus had brothers and sisters, that is to say, uterine siblings. It simply states that he had adephoi. As we know - this word is used in the NT some 344 times. Of those 344 times - - 41 cases, or...

No - YOUR faith is in YOUR interpretation - period. You reject what Christ and the Apostles taught because it doesn't line up with YOUR understanding. As for your Protestant Fathers and their being "wrong" about their acceptance of Infant Baptism - how is it that you will follow them when it...

I didn't say the person wasn't a believer - that's not the issue. YOU said the person was "saved" prior to being prayed over. The text doesn't support this. It simply states that IF they have sins - they will be forgiven based on the prayer of faith of the PRESBYTERS, NOT the sick person...

News flash, Einstein: Comparing St. Stephen and the Rich man is Apples and Oranges. Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit when he saw Jesus in Heaven, which gave him tht ability. The Rich Man was condemned - yet he was STILL able to communicate with Abraham and Lazarus. WHY?? Because they...

Nope. Just a Catholic who strives to be faithful.

It is clear from the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man that they could SEE and communicate with each other. I suggest you R*E*A*D the story a little more carefully before responding . . . Who is "We"?? Do you ave a mouse in your pocket?? Because I don't see ANYBODY agreeing with you on...

And there you go again claiming to be able to read the hearts of men. MY Bible says that only GOD can do that (1 Sam. 16:7). How do YOU know if a person is in grave sin or not?? NOBODY is fully "saved" until they are judged because salvation is a process (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8, 1 Cor...

This has been the constant living teaching of the Christian faith for 2000 years that includes your Protestant Fathers. It only changed at some point AFTER the Protestant Revolt by somebody who simply wanted to further divorce themselves from the Church - and the Protestant Fathers. Once again...

This position was already obliterated in post #21 - and again in post #176. NNNNNNNNNEXT . . . . .

So much ignorance in your post - it's difficult to know exactly where to begin . . . Let's start with the fact that Paradise and Hades or, the "prison" where Jesus went to preach to the spirits was in the SAME place. All we need to do is go to the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man to see...

Yup - because Jesus said so.

TRANSLATION: "I couldn't co up with anything, so I'll just keep quiet now." Probably a good idea . . .

TRANSLATION: "I've got NOTHING to show you because the verses simply don't exist." That's what I thought . . .

Mary DID have a Savior (Luke 1:47). He simply applied saving grace to her BEFORE she was born. What?? YOU don't think God is capable of this?? MY Bible says that with God - ALL things are possible (Matt. 19:26). MY Bible says that God is OUTSIDE of time and is NOT bound by time...
