That is completely false. Jesus said that His Church was a VISIBLE Body: Matt. 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house...

You missed the point completely. I was making the point that "Pray" means MUCH more than "worship". Doesn't take a lawyer or a genius to read a dictionary . . .

And this is nothing more than ignorance of the word "Pray." To "Pray" simply means to ASK: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Pray verb \ˈprā\ Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea<pray be...

No - I swear to you that I don't know what a "Roman" Bible is. What is it?? I don't think YOU can even explain it because you use this term without understanding what it means. AGAIN - the invitation is to all. Those who "drink freely" from the waters of life are those who have come to Christ...

Apparently you have trouble reading. I said that it was up to GOD - not us who is saved and who isn't. God uses us to evangelize - to spread His word and reach the lost. This is Christianity 101 . . . "WHOSOEVER" doesn't negate the fact that these people must be part of His Church. The...

I know - but it IS a Protestant version. I'm not crazy about it either. I only use it to even the field when debating. And I STILL don't kow what a "Roman" version is . . .:rolleyes:

I don't even know what a "Roman" Bible is. Why do you insist on using this term when you obviously don't understand what it means?? I said that I didn't use a Catholic tranclation - but a Protestant one. The invitation to those in Rev. 22 is to all - but those who drink freely of these waters...

Jesus did NOT look to anyone to help Him in His Ministry?? What do you call the Twelve Apostles?? What do you call the Great Commission?? WHY did His disciples receive power from the Holy Spirit at Pentecost?? To sit in a dark room and never evangelize?? Jesus does NOT single out His Church to...

First of all - I never said that people outside of the Church wouldn't be saved. That's not up to me or YOU - it's up to GOD. Secondly - there is only ONE Church - not thousands of disjointed and perpetually splintering sects all teaching different doctrines yet all claiming to have the...

First of all - I was quoting from the Protestant NIV translation - not a Catholic translation. Secondly - God is addressing all those who thirst - but more specifically - and those who "freely take of the water". These are the people who have come to Christ - Christians. Finally - 1 John 5:5...

If the wolves were EVER in "complete control" of the Church - then you are calling Jesus a liar. Jesus promised that the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church. For the wolves to be ion "complete control" - this would mean that Hell DID prevail and Jesus lied.

Rev 22:17019 pertains ONLY to thoise who have a share in the Tree of Life - the SAVED. God can only take away somebody's share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City if he already HAD a share in it to begin with. This is talking about SAVED people who take away from or add to the words of...

And that blind man is YOU. I belong to Christ's Church which is the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15).

There is a problem with that theory: We are born into sin (Psalm 51:5). Gen. 8:21 says that the intent of our heart is evil from the time we are small. Eph. 2:1-3 describes this state as being "dead in our transgressions". We are not born into life - we are born into death. Jesus came to...

No - just a lover of truth and a despiser of lies.

This is YOUR interpretation of things and one that only YOU believe. I have never heard a reputable Protestant evangelist make this claim - that ALL names are in the Book of Life - then they are erased as needed. Our names are only added to the Book of Life when we come to Christ. It is a...

Uh huh. And God is promising to delete a person's name from the Book of Life and take away their "share" in the Tree of Life. This is addressing SAVED people who are in danger of LOSING their salvation. Unsaved people don't have a "share" in the Tree of Life. Unsaved people's names are NOT...

Your entire point is moot because of the phrase "BLOT OUT." Something that can be "blotted out" means that it was there to begin with. As I showed earlier in the following verses, God is using the SAME language - and this is AFTER Moses and AFTER Jesus' sacrifice: Rev. 3:5 He who overcomes...

Sooooo, you ADMIT you lied about Josephus and the Crusades - is that what you're saying? Also - I challenge you to provide me with ONE post - just ONE, where I "lied". I'm not talking about a Catholic doctrine that you disagree with. c I'm talking about a flat-out, filthy LIE, like the one YOU...
