Simple rejection of the truth of Catholic teaching is not "anti-Catholicism." It is when a person resorts to lying about what the Church teaches and practices or invents a new version of history to make their point - THAT is when it becomes Catholic-bashing. I have absolutely NO problem with a...

Uhhhh, no - you replied to somebody ELSE and expected me to go hunting through the posts. Why didn't you simply point me to this post in the first place? Okay - I have read your post several times now and NOWHERE do you explain what the "Water" represents in John 3:5. You make a vague...

Unfortunately, one of the tragedies of Protestantism is the man-made invention that once we are born again - we have pretty much jumped on a slide that whisks us right off to Heaven - and there is NOTHING we can do about it. this is hogwash of the FIRST order - and extremely unbiblical. What...

Amen. However - NONE of this refutes anything I said. NONE of it makes the claim that salvation is a one-time event. NONE of it states that we are saved "forever" once we come to the Lord. Try again . . .

No - just "one" passage of Scripture is cherry-picking. Scripture must be read in context with ALL of the rest. God "foreknows" and "predestines" based on OUR choices and OUR cooperation or lack thereof. He doesn't MAKE those choices for us - not does He coerce us to have faith. As for your...

Wrong. The finished work of Jesus on the cross does not "absolve" us from DOING the will of God. Jesus said in NO uncertain terms: Matt. 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. In other words...

You didn't continue reading after verse 5, did you?? Yes, Nicodemus SHOULD have known - and Jesus scolds him for it: John 3:10-12 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to...

WRONG. First of all - you and I absolutely read Scripture differently. I read it through the eyes of the God-given authority of His Church. YOU read it through your own point of view. In other words, I merely parrot His Church's position. It has nothing to do with cockiness. Secondly -...

If you keep reading the verses that follow, it pretty much speaks for itself. Paul is being pretty explicit here in the language he uses: Phil. 2:12-16 So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your...

These 12 reasons are ALL the same, tired, unscriptural reasons that have been regurgitated repeatedly on this thread. In other words - The Bible teaches DIFFERENTLY than your church does. I gave you about EIGHTEEN Biblical reasons why there is NO such thing as OSAS or "Eternal Security". You...

Sooooo, because Paul refers to God's WORD as the "water " long AFTER Jesus walked the earth - then that means Jesus ALSO used this metaphor?? You DON'T see the correlation of the first THREE chapters of John being literally drenched in WATER (H2O)?? - In John 1, we see the Baptism of Jesus...

And that's great - but unless YOU can answer the question for Ac28 - this is an impotent response. WHAT is so wrong about demanding an explanation for a charge of "Satanic traditions" and going "against" the words of Christ? If an anti-Catholic is going to MAKE these claims - then they should...

I will answer YOUR question when you answer mine. I asked you WHAT the "water" Jesus spoke of in John 3:5 pertains to. In other words, what is He talking about when He mentions "Water". I will be more than happy to discuss this with you - but please answer the question.

Soooo, in other words - you don't have a CLUE about the doctrines, ;beliefs OR origins of Catholic teaching. That's pretty much what I thought. Anyway - I will challenge you at EVERY turn when you make these asinine accusations so as to expose your lies in front of everybody.

Sooooo, by your logic - 2 Pet. 1:20 is flawed because it says: "...knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation." The context of Scripture doesn't tell us to be "independently-minded". It tells us NOT to lean on our OWN understanding - but...

To which "false" practices are you referring?

Amen. That's good - for cherry-picking. NOW - what do yo do when you take the following verses in CONTEXT with the ONE verse you presented?? Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Tim. 4:1, Heb. 3:6, Heb. 3:12-14, Heb 6:4-6...

Hmmm . . . you made the SAME asinine claim on another thread - and I challenged you to provide proof for it. Unfortunately, you ran from the thread and never looked back - so I am challenging you again: Please provide documented evidence for the claim that 95% of Catholic doctrines go...

That's NOT what the Bible teaches . . . The Scriptures teach that we, as Christians, are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8) This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to believe. However, because Salvation is a LIFELONG process – it ALSO says that I am BEING SAVED (1...

Perhaps you haven't been reading the posts - so allow me to educate you on the Scriptures. God absolutely will TAKE AWAY from your share in the Tree of Life if you abandon Him - AFTER you come to faith . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who...
