Sooooo, you believe that by reading the Bible, you're going to Heaven? Tell me - where did Jesus say that we needed to read the Bible in order to be saved?? He didn't. But, he DID say that we needed to follow His commands and be obedient in order to be saved (Matt. 7:21-23, Matt. 25:31-46...

Your problem is that you are dissecting what faith is. James clearly explains what true faith is - and it ain't just "belief" (James 2:14-26). He states that even the DEMONS believe (James 2:19). Are they saved?? NO. True faith is a marriage of belief and works. You cannot have one without...

Uhhhh - the Apostles were the first leaders of the Church and everybody they ordained was given authority to ordain others (2 Tim. 2:2). This is called Apostolic Succession and it began with the replacement of Judas, when they chose Matthias top take is office (Bishopric) in Acts 1. There is no...

Like I said - the individual may fall away or go down the "wrong" path but the Church cannot. It has Christ's guarantee. And one of the first hermneuticall rules is this: When Jesus instructs the crowds - He is instructing the Church at large (ALL of us). When He instructed His inner circle -...

Do you tell that to every other person on this forum who uses bolding and italics - or just me? Anyway - your statement was false because we didn't "pretty much agree" with Luther's false doctrine. We simply clarified our position.

Not at all. \What I don't tolerate is when people make false statement like the one YOU made earlier. In post #60, regarding Sola Fide, you said "Actually the Catholic Church pretty much agreed with Luther on this doctrine by now. " This is a false statement because you didn't read the...

First of all - if you were actually a Catholic, you would have read the Bible during Mass. In a 3 year cycle, virtually the ENTIRE Bible is read aloud. Secondly - only God has the POWER to forgive sin. He can give that power to whomever He wishes. On the night of his Resurrection, Jesus...

READ the document. There are portions in it where each side still adheres to certain things that the other doesn't. It is NOT an "across the board" agreement.

That may be true for the individual - but not the Church at large and definitely NOT doctrine. Christ's Church does not go down the wrong path in its teachings. That would make Jesus a liar. He guaranteed His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide it to ALL Truth (John 16:12-15). Paul refers...

If you understood the context of these verses - you would know that this is metaphorical language. Whereas we STRIVE to be perfect - we sin and therefore are NOT perfect. 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is NOT in us. That is not perfection.

Because it has nothing to do with YOUR fallacy that Satan was in Heaven arguing with God about Job. As I already showed you - Satan can't enter Heaven. Nothing unclean can (Rev. 21:27).

Were you expecting a new Gospel? The individual should change - not Christ's Church.

And likely the reason why so many have converted TO the Church. Any sect that calls itself "Christian" and changes its doctrine is counterfeit. God doesn't change and neither should Christian doctrine.

No - apparently you didn't read the document if you think that the Catholic Church "changed" its position. All the Church did was clarify the language. The position is still the same. Read it again and match it up to the Catechism . . .

Did you bother to actually READ this document?? The agreement was only in regards to the idea of salvation by faith. The Church indicates in the document that if by "faith" it is understood that works play a role - then it was agreed upon. You should read the document. The classic Protestant...

Ummm, that's NOT what the Bible says - in context. The idea of Sola Fide is a man made doctrine that was invented by Martin Luther in the 16th century. The Bible, however shows us that the ONLY place we see the phrase "faith alone" is preceded by the words "NOT BY": James 2:24 You see that a...

TRUE faith requires obedience. Jesus said: Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is BAPTIZED will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. He ALSO said of Baptism: John 3:5 “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of WATER and Spirit. 2...

And, hopefully, with a LOT of prayer - the same thing will happen to YOU.

YOU keep following your little "generals" over at your online cult, aggressivechristianity.net: As for me and my house - we will follow the Lord (Josh. 24:15) . . .

That's NOT what the Bible says: James 1:27 RELIGION that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Keep studying. You'll get there . . . And if Christ is not a website - why...
