I particularly love Matthew 23. It's a reaffirmation of everything I have said. The ruling Pharisees were called hypocrites. The very same activity as your supposed church. There is indeed unity between Jesus and His disciples. But I have no evidence that anyone that ruled the early...

The context is indeed Paul writing to Timothy and expecting his execution. No one is denying that. But who is it Paul says is preserving HIM? The Lord. I have given you other verses. that say the same thing. God helps us to persevere, we don't do it on out own. He said the same thing...

I can't believe what you just said. I saved it. In all of my Christian life, I have never, ever, heard anyone If the words of Jesus are not convincing, there is nothing to say. You evidently trust men over the words of Jesus. Proof positive of the power brain washing. I'm truly and...

Really? Baptism isn't about the remission of sins. The blood of Jesus did that. Peter knew that. I can agree that it is implied that the people Peter was talking to knew that. There are many ways to present the gospel. But pay attention, the goal was to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit...

Funny thing about words, I almost didn't catch what you had done. It doesn't say a word about believing in Jesus first. Trying to introduce the word 'saved' into the verse isn't what I said.

Let's go over these verses you have posted and see if they say what you claim. John 1:12 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, Not a word about free will unto salvation. The verse isn’t even about salvation, it about those...

Wrong again. I didn't use verse 24 because it does not change what was said in verse 25. The IF here refers to having heard the original and authentic saving message of Christs death for sin and his conquest of death. This is not cherry picking, it's looking for the main idea. That's a...

Your use of words to diminish another is noted. It demonstrates that you have no real argument. Good luck with that. Here is the standard: If you don't think that Jesus would use words such as 'girly' against another, you shouldn't either. Just sayin'

Tell you what if you can find a verse in the Bible that people have free will involved in their own salvation, post it. I will address Acts 2:38-47. Do you know what it means to 'cherry pick' scripture outside of its context. Spend a couple of minutes and read through verse 47. 38 And...

Perhaps you might want to show it in your posts. :)

Not if you believe that belief has to come first. It absolutely is first. Here is some commentary by Matt Slick. Questions for those who believe baptism is necessary for salvation. | CARM.org Rom. 4:5 says that he who believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as...

I see that context is not your companion. It should be.

Cop out to the max degree. “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Trying to muddy the works up with speculation reveals that you are not prepared to deal with what Jesus said.

Who they said what? Slow down and post your complete thoughts. I can't respond otherwise.

You are very kind. We must stand together to fight the evil of the Catholic organization. You are right, the man who praises socialism, worships wooden idols, caters to all manner of sin, and who supports something called a Dignity mass. I think that the majority of Catholics just haven't...

You call it Calvinist as much as like, but this is what scripture says.

Jesus did: Luke 23:39-43 Christian Standard Bible 39 Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? 41 We are...

You can have whatever opinion you like, but that is only opinion. The Bible says we were chosen before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:3-11English Standard Version (ESV) Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in...

Dear Christian friend in Christ. I used to ponder these things before I had spent much time reading scripture. I don't anymore. While scripture isn't always crystal clear on some questions, the Catholics (and other heretics) are GUILTY of adding to scripture which Revelation says is serious...

Let's see what it says: 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord...
