Did you just say a believer can stop believing and still be saved? To be saved one must believe and have faith. If you believe and have faith, you're saved. If you DON'T believe and have faith, you're NOT saved. It's really easy. If one cannot lose salvation, please explain Hewbrews 6:4-6...

Believe means much more. When one believes in Jesus it means that he is a disciiple of Jesus, he follows Him, he learns from him, he copies the behavior and attitudes of the Lord, he wants to please him and do as he says, he trusts Him. So believing (in Christianity) means: ° to be a...

Did Job answer this? It may be speaking about the end times, but Jesus DID say that he that holds on to the end will be saved. IOW, tribulation will not shake our faith in Him. We have tribulation every day. We have trouble all the time. Are we keeping our faith? Do we continue to believe...

What does it mean to believe?

You quoted too much stuff. Let's take Ephesians 2:8-9 Why did you leave out Ephesians 2:10 Do good works scare you? Are we supposed to do them or not? Are we saved for our works? Do we remain saved for our works?

The system that says I could lose it. And anyway, OSAS is NOT biblically correct. I see talking back and forth here but no scripture.

Job is a book, probably the first one written and oldest in the O.T., by someone who was trying to understand why there is such trouble and heartache in the world. It must surely be used to teach many things. But that God causes us to suffer to win a bet with satan is not one of them. It...

You must be a Calvanist F2F. You're serving a different God than the one represented in the bible.

God is free to do as He likes. But He's LOVE. Can He be divided from His love? What was Jesus' purpose? Was it not to make God known to us? Jesus said that if we saw HIM, we saw GOD. Did we learn nothing from Jesus' appearance on earth? John 14:7 I've read the book. And I find that God is a...

LOL I have a cat that's like a dog. He's soooo nice. I trained him not to go in high places, like the table, other furniture, etc. I trained him to come when I call him because he goes out. (using food) MY HUSBAND trained him not to sleep on the bed. So, though VERY LIMITED!, cats can be...

No. You cannot have fun by laughing at your brother Christian's,,, Or anyone for that matter. Not very christianly of you.

Yes. And when did I say I was against baptism?

I read it. This pope wants to make ammends with the Protestants. He may be stopped somewhat by those in charge of the Vatican. We shall soon see.

That the CC will become more protestant, as I stated previously.

Only God can be worshipped. Mary can be venerated. The CCC explains this as devotion = veneration Adoration = Worship Paragraph 971 from the Catechism of the Catholic Church 971 "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian...

You have an answer for everything. It's a discipline and not a doctrine. Why are so many Bishops upset by this letter? Do they not understand that it's ONLY A DISCIPLINE? Celibacy is not a doctrine. Correct. The CC is trying to find a common ground with the Lutheran chuch, which is...

My point is simple: There is NO TEACHING in the Catholic Church. Members DO WORSHIP Mary as a result of this.

BTW BoL I'm NEVER confused.

Funny. You're explaining Catholic doctrine to me! PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Seems you don't know everything... Speak to your local friendly priest and you'll have to retract your entire post above. I'm not talking about ANNULMENTS. Which, BTW, the CC will be doing...

BoL I hate to get in the middle of this, but I couldn't help it. You know very well that many Catholics are not as well-read as you are and that priests do nothing to resolve this dilemma. Not all. Some have started bible study. MANY Catholics "worship" Mary. As I've said, they do not know...
