    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    WHO told you that Jesus "hates" religion?? Matt. 23 says absolutely nothing about Him "hating" religion. A good deal of that chapter is about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees - and NOT the Jewish religion itself. It's about how they exalted themselves above others - and in some cases even GOD...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Then you'll have to show me where Jesus states that different factions of His Church will teach polar opposite doctrines and still be part of His Church. Some Protestant denominations believe in baptismal regeneration, while others do not. Some believe in soul-sleep, while others do not. Some...

    Communion vs Holy Communion

    WRONG. Just because distribution of BOTH species at Communion is not mandatory does NOT mean that it is NOT the normal practice in MOST Catholic parishes. The plain fact of the matter is that it IS available in most parishes in the United States. YOUR problem is with the idea that it is not...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Really?? Where did He say that? MY Bible says the following . . . John 17:20-23 “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be ONE, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe...

    Communion vs Holy Communion

    Uhhhhhh, no. YOU claimed for several posts that the Precious Blood was WITHHELD from the laity. You stated that we were forbidden by the priests to receive the cup. It is only AFTER I proved you wrong that you are now backpedaling by accepting the fact that reception under both species is...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    And that is a cowardly statement because there is nothing "mean" about setting the record straight. It is the coward who accepts all points of view as the truth. As G.K. Chesterton so wisely put it: "Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions."

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    God id NOT the author of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33). If one sect is out of step with the next - it is because of the traditions and precepts of flawed and prideful MEN - not God. As Paul writes: Eph. 4:4-6 There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT, just as you were called to one hope when you were...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    And for YOU to take it upon yourself to twist the words of Christ into something He does NOT say about the percentages of bad congregations is even worse than what you accuse ME of. And, by the way - I don't "hate" Protestants. 9 of my 12 siblings are Protestants and I love them dearly. I was...

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    We will always be sinners until we are fully sanctified in Heaven. We are not yet in this state. A "sinner" is one who sins - not just a person who chooses a sinful life over God. Using hyperbole, Paul even refers to himself as "CHIEF" of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15). Remember - Jesus didn't build...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    He spoke to the Church in SEVEN locations in Turkey. NO mention of the Church in ALL of the other cities and countries in the world. YOU took it upon yourself to apply you flawed math to this small portion of the Church. But - that is the tragedy of Protestantism - everybody making claims for...

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    Soooooo, you're NOW saying that a born again person can sin? With all of your flip-flopping - I kinda lost track.

    Communion vs Holy Communion

    I don't understand why you have this need to be publicly humiliated repeatedly - but here goes: From the US Conference of Catholic Bishops Website: http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/norms-for-holy-communion-under-both-kinds/index.cfm 7. Bread and wine are presented by the...

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    And what this verbose rant amounts to is the text in RED. I have begged you on several threads now to give me some SCRIPTURAL proof for the false teaching that we can "never" fall away once we are born again - and you have turned tail and RUN in every instance. You have FAILED to provide even...

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    I read another wordy diatribe. What I DON'T see here is an explanation or Scriptural proof for your FALSE claim that born again believers are "no longer" sinners. This is an anti-Biblical claim - all of your personal attacks, notwithstanding . . .

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    WRONG. The Ark represented the power and Authority of Almighty God. Within the Ark, there was the Tablets of the Commandments (Authority), Aaron's Rod (Power) and a jar of manna (Bread of Life). ALL of these types were fulfilled by Jesus, who is the NEW Covenant. Mary is the Ark of the NEW...

    Jesus NEVER said that 65% of ALL of the churches were headed in the wrong direction - YOU did. Don't put words in the Lord's mouth . . .

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    No - it isn't. Initial salvation doesn't mean a THING unless you cooperate with God's grace and remain faithful to the end. It's about God's continual work in me. When a Christian sins - he feels guilty that he offended God - or SHOULD feel that way. That is God working in us. You could just...

    Rebirth - Salvation and Conversion

    Ummmm, first of all - ALL of the initial steps you listed require our cooperation (in RED) - so there goes Sola Fide right OUT the window. Some of the steps you listed regarding simple "belief" are accomplished by the DEMONS themselves (James 2:19) - so don't put too much trust in belief...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    You have the Church established by Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago. You forget that people bowed and prostrated themselves face-doewn in the dirt before the Ark - which was a BOX made of wood and gold. Was this "idolatry" - or was it respect for WHO it represented?? In your desperation as an...

    Not only did I NOT call Jesus a "liar" - I didn't call YOU one, either. I said that you LIED because you did- and you got caught. The Church was in MANY more places than just those seven. Add this latest post of your to your list of lies . . .
