    Balancing Justification and Eternal Life By Faith Alone vs By Works of Faith

    How do you balance the Biblical doctrine of past-tense justification by faith without good works with the Biblical doctrine of future-tense justification by good works of faith? It is true that Romans 4 speaks of justification by faith, apart from good works--and that it is of faith so that it...

    The phoniness of Catholicism

    I have participated in many discussions about the beliefs of Catholics and frankly, have been very distressed about their unScriptural beliefs. The Bible in general, and the New Testament in particular, are about God's interactions with people and His covenants with them, resulting in the New...

    Controversial... Hence debate forum.

    You can basically find two types of Muslim in the world. One, the radical. He believes everything Islam, believers the only way to spread "the faith" is through politics and/or force. The other type of Muslim is the one who fervently believes in his faith, believes that prayer and devotion to...

    How does an adult become a Catholic?

    Now for a Catholic related thread of a different kind, I did ask this question on another thread, but didn't really get a proper answer for it. I am just asking out of interest. What is the process for an adult to become a Catholic? Is it easier for those who are already Christian of another...

    The complete paganism of the Tri-quetra (triquetra), and it's anti-Christian purpose

    The complete paganism of the Tri-quetra (triquetra, sometimes known as the 'celtic-knot'), and it's anti-Christian purpose, and it's ties to the false and deadly heresy of the Roman Catholic 'trinity'. History: "The term triquetra in archaeology is used of any figure consisting of three arcs...

    "Tradition" in Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism

    (Posted in debate as well.) I have doubts about the definition (redefinition) of what Paul termed "tradition" as put forth by these groups. Premises : 1. Scripture was paramount to Paul's doctrine, and it should be to ours as well. To which authorities did Paul appeal when establishing...

    Salvation by grace through faith...a license for sinning?

    I believe that certain Catholics on here are contending for salvation by works because they probably think that salvation by grace through faith is some kind of cop-out...that we as Protestants are trying to get out of a responsibility. Nothing could be further from the truth. We as believers...

    Australian Prophecies, Part 3

    The following is a continuation from the following threads. Australian Prophecies, Part 1 Australian Prophecies, Part 2 This final part will discuss evidences for how a union is going to be forged between the Australian State and the false church led by Catholicism (for this, see Posts #4 and...

    Australian Prophecies, Part 1

    The following will be presented as a three part thread because the sheer number of dreams I received on this topic (and from multiple sources during the course of about three weeks) are simply too much to present all at once. They are all directly related to one another, however. Lord wiling, I...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 6

    "IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED AND HEIRS." Another matter, really the key to the whole question which we are discussing, is revealed in God's Word, viz., that in the divine purpose the promised "Seed of Abraham" that should perform the great work of blessing all the families of...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 5

    NOT UNIVERSAL SALVATION BUT A UNIVERSAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SALVATION. The Apostle tells us that God preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, "beforehand" signifying before it was due to begin; for the Gospel did not begin with Abraham, but with our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Apostle again...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 4

    But what of our question, what is the Gospel to which the Apostle was not ashamed? As we had previously stated, The true Gospel must show divine Wisdom and Power in full accord with divine Justice and Love: of any other we should be ashamed. CONSIDER NOW THE TRUE GOSPEL. The word "gospel"...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 3

    The ARMINIAN view of the Gospel Let us now examine the Armenian view. This view is growing popular. Its message or Gospel is God is love, he loves you; he loves everybody; he is doing all that he can to save everybody; if you are lost it will not be God's fault, but your own. On the surface...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 2

    The Gospel according to ROMAN CATHOLICISM The Gospel according to Roman Catholicism is that all men fell into sin and are under sentence of eternal torment: that Christ accomplished a redemptive work which, supplemented by the sacrifice of the mass, and by prayers and penances, permits all...

    WHICH IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? Part 1

    "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." (Rom 1:16) “No one of intelligence will dispute the meaning of the word "Gospel;" it signifies "GOOD TIDINGS," good news, --a good message. Nevertheless, in some unaccountable manner, by common consent, "a real Gospel sermon" is almost universally...
