No - it would be impossible to go any further because you can't think of any . . .

And YOU should stop trying to invent different rules for salvation for different races of people and for the sexes. Gal. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. There are no racists or misogynists in...

Ummmmmm, show me where the Bible teaches this. Show me the chapter and verse that makes the claim that once I believe - I will "FOREVER" be kept in Christ. You see - MY Bible says that belief is only part of the equation. (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter...

Now there's an "intelligent" response . . .

Uhhhhh, that's NOT what you said. YOU said: "No, a believer becomes a part of His body through belief, not striving or works." You falsely claimed that "belief" is what makes a person a part of the Body of Christ. Belief is only PART of faith - NOT the whole enchilada. Faith includes belief -...

Actually - seeing as how I already destroyed that arguments in post #3072 - that point is now moot . . . Face it - you can't come up with anything so you're stalling . . .

HOGWASH. James 2:19 tells us explicitly that even the DEMONS believe. Are they part of His Body?? Belief is NOT enough (James 2:19). True Faith = Belief + Obedience (works).

Hmmm, I was GOING to address this - but Kepha31 did such a masterjul job, there really isn't any point of entertaining it any further. Only to say that by calling Matt Slick's manure "quite Biblical" - you expose in yourself an abject ignorance of Scripture . . . PS - Ummm, you mentioned some...

Ummmm, FIRST of all - not ALL Jews reject the Messiah. The very first Christians were Jews . . . Secondly - praying for the dead goes back to the OT. In 2 Macc. 42-46, we see that Judas Maccabeus prays for the men of his army, killed in battle. Verse 44 says, “… for if he were not expecting...

You mean - like the sex pervert problem in all of your PROTESTANT sects?? OR, are you talking about something else?? Evangelical Sex Abuse Record ‘Worse’ Than Catholic, Says Billy Graham’s Grandson Protestant Churches Grapple With Growing Sexual Abuse Crisis : NPR Protestants can no longer...

Ummmm, you DO have some historical documentation for your claims about Constantine (in RED) - don't you? Yeah - I didn't think so . . .

Except for an anti-Catholic one.

It takes an act of God for somebody to come to faith. It takes that person's cooperation with that grace to come to salvation. You cannot be saved if YOU don't want to.

And Scripture tells us that He gibes EVERYBODY that chance . . . 1 Tim. 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. NOT all, however will choose to do so.

And you failed to substantiate the lie that the Catholic Church SOLD indulgences because it didn't. That's what I thought . . .

Pope Leo never condoned, supported or ordered the sale of Indulgences. The onus is on YOU, the accuser to provide proof for this. Selling indulgences was an abuse that was CONDEMNED by the Church - NOT condoned.

Johann Tetzel indeed sold them. this was an ABUSE that was NOT condoned, supported or ordered by the Church or ANY Pope. Try again . . .

That all depends on what YOU consider "Sovreignty". If you believe that it means that God made the choice FOR us - then that is 100% unbiblical. Unfortunately, that is what Calvin taught.

That's NOT what the Bible says . . . The Greek word is Kecharitomene that Luke used in his Gospel (v.1:28), which is the perfect passive participle, indicates a "completed action with permanent result". It translates, “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace.” Kecharitomene is...

And AGAIN, there seems to be a communication breakdown. I never denied the existence of Indulgences. The false charge on this thread is that they were SOLD by the Catholic Church. I asked YOU to show me ANY declaration, document or decree that supported, condoned or ordered the SALE of...
