Are you serious?? Paul was fine with married Bishops. He simply didn't want polygamous Bishops being ordained. A polygamous household is NOT the way a house should be ruled. Ergo, Paul wanted men who only had ONE wife - the way it was willed by GOD (Gen. 2:24). WRONG. As I told you before -...

WRONG. Cooperating is enduring in faith. You cannot hope to remain saved if you stop cooperating with God's grace. Faith = Belief + Works.

First of all - exactly what is blasphemous? While you're at it - WHICH contradictions to the clear teaching of Scripture are you talking about?? As for Apostolic Succession - this is a CLEAR teaching of Scripture. Acts 1:16-26 tells us that the Apostles chose another to take the office of...

Thanks for the kind words. They are much appreciated.

Sorry - but that is NOT what Scripture says when it speaks of this "Knowledge" of God and His Word. The Greek ford for “knowledge” used in these passages is NOT the usual word (Oida). The word used is EPIGNOSIS, which means a full, experiential knowledge. Epignosis is what a born again believer...

He knew what decision that I would make. He didn't choose FOR me. I disagree, as Scripture does with your first comment in RED. I agree with your second comment in RED.

We are saved by God's grace through the blood of Christ - PERIOD. Nothing else saves us How do we GET saved? By cooperating with that saving grace.

Men can't see the Father because He is SPIRIT and we are physical beings. We are NOT like Him yet. 1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Another one I already answered: Spirit doesn't have shape - and neither does OUR spirit have shape. God is Spirit but He can take on shape. these are called "Theophanies".

What's wrong with you? I already answered this. "Being offered" means that they have the choice to drink the Precious Blood of our Lord during Communion. Nobody is forced to receive Communion.

You have this wrong. that is NOT what Paul is saying. He didn't say that we shouldn't hope for salvation because "already" have it. He is saying that we HAVE hope - and what good is hope if we already have something that we are hoping for? Rom. 8:22-24 We know that the whole creation has been...

Thanks - I appreciate it.

Thanks.

Spirit doesn't have shape - and neither does OUR spirit have shape. God is Spirit but He can take on shape. these are called "Theophanies".

You have GOT to be kidding. Jesus is GOD - so He can see spirit as well as flesh. He can see Satan, who is ALSO spirit. He can see the Angels who are spirit. Can YOU?? Just because Jesus has limitless power DOESN'T mean that WE do - and so we use anthropopmorphisms to describe God.

Because you are being purposely disrespectful - I will answer you like this: Nobody drinks "wine" at Mass. The Priests drinks the Blood of Christ at Communion - and it is ALSO offered to the rest of the congregation. NOT sure why you think that it isn't . . .

Matt. 16:18-19 (see also Matt. 18:15-18, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23) And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever YOU bind on earth shall...

Thank you sir!

It's silly not to understand anthropomorphism and believe that God literally has a body because WE were made in His image. I don't want to get vulgar or disrespectful - but does God have the parts of a Woman or a Man? If you say BOTH - the NOBODY was made in His image. What about people who are...

PRECISELY. This is known as "anthropomorphism" - just like John 5:37 and ALL of the other verses that speak of God having "nostrils" and other body parts. Spirit has NO shape.
