No - commanded because it is an essential element of faith (James 2:14-26).

That, too.

Ummmmm, you forget that YOU are the one who came HERE picking fights and challenging people to go to YOUR failed site to argue. I didn’t go to YOUR site looking for anti-Catholics – YOU came here. Your hypocrisy is astounding . . .

I couldn't agree with you more. I would ALSO add that many won't receive it because they refuse to be obedient.

WRONG. Even the DEMONS believe and are not saved (James 2:19). If you think you are saved by belief alone - then you are NO BETTER off than the demons. TRUE Faith = Belief + Obedience

Not at ALL. I simply understand it in its proper CONTEXT. YOU, on the other hand, cherry-pick Scripture and pit one verse against another . . .

Yup - that's what the Church has ALWAYS taught.

Working WITH God is DOING His WILL. It is ABSOLUTELY a part of our salvation (Matt. 7:21, Matt. 25:31-46, Matt. 28:19-20).

Obeying God and doing His will is what is COMMANDED if His followers. You can't be saved unless you cooperate with Hid grace . . .

No - by COOPERATING with God's grace. You can't sit on your duff and ignore Him and hope to be saved . . .

Once again – NONE of the verses you presented state that God will KEEP a person faithful against their will. NOR do they say that they will REMAIN faithful simply because they once had faith to Christ. The promises are for those who CHOOSE to remain faithful by trusting in the Lord and the...

No - cooperation with God's grace is our REPONSE to it. That's why Paul calls us "sunergos" - CO-WORKERS with God (2 Cor. 6:1, 1Cor. 3:9).

Not dead - but it's on Life Support . . . You came here looking for recruits for your failed forum - trying to seduce them away with provocative challenges and idiotic claims. NOBODY took the bait . . .

HOGWASH. AGAIN you fail to understand the context of Scripture. Peter wrote wisely about people like YOU when he wrote: 2 Pet. 3:16 His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own...

The SIN NATURE is passed down from Adam. NONE of us are born sinning. We are born into sin – or the proclivity towards it. This is called “concupiscence”. No baby actually sins. That requires full knowledge, consent and the ability to reason. A baby possesses NONE of those elements. You...

That may be what YOU believe – but that’s NOT what the Bible says – in CONTEXT. There’s that “scary” word again . . . James says plainly that obedience and works are an essential element of faith – NOT simply an after effect (James 2:14-26). Matt. 7:21 explicitly states that we must be DOERS...

The Bible doesn’t say this – in CONTEXT. I’ve ALREADY shown you several verses that show born-again, converted Christians with an EPIGNOSIS of Christ who are in danger of walking away from God and LOSING it all. Until you come to terms with those verses – you are living in denial . . .

You claim that Mary’s sinlessness is NOT mentioned in Scripture – but it IS. It is also alluded to in the comparisons between the Ark of the Covenant and Mary, Ark of the NEW Covenant. When the Angel visited Mary, St. Luke - under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit - used the Greek word...

More of your anti-historical manure. It's NO WONDER your debate site died . . .

What "animal sacrifices" do Catholics take part in, Einstein??
