Dear expert Peter, perhaps you missed to whom the letter is being addressed: My children, 1 I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. Pax et Bonum

well, I'm just a Catholic schlub, but the Word has been written on my heart... so you'll forgive me if I'm unimpressed.. Pax et Bonum

Ah Peter.. How many of us are schlubs like Peter and need to get smacked around a bit till we 'get it'. John gets it right from the beginning and his Gospel and epistles exude the love of Christ.. imo And who learned these things from the apostle John? St. Polycarp St. Polycarp of Smyrna and...

Can you expand on this? This verse just came to mind. so adding it in.. Does God belong to Jews alone? Does he not belong to Gentiles, too? Yes, also to Gentiles, for God is one and will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Are we then...

Hello GP, Nice post. I would suggest an ammendment to this that the twofold is 1) Love God! (which of course includes believing in the Name of the Son) Loving God includes offering Him the very best we have (the Lamb of God), which HE, HIMSELF, has given us. It is right and just that we do...

Hello Matthew, I'm not sure if He ever 'moves out of you' as you put it.But He certainly never forces Himself on you. You can be all like, I'll Suffer anything for you... and then when something unexpected is given to you and in your anger you stomp your foot and say 'leave me alone'.. He...

Hello BP. Didn't He? When a virtuous man turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. Pax et Bonum

Hello strepho, Perhaps its a little harsh to call all those who have been taught to 'embrace the rapture' fake? I would expect that most of those who do so,sincerely love Jesus, however misguided they may be, and I personally do not think that anyone who, with a humble and contrite heart...

Hello Peter, the entire epistle (including chapter 10) is written to these: Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ; to...

hello Big Boy, Anyone can read this in their own bible. A simple search on google will provide the verse.. Ez 18:26 just for you because you asked so nicely.. Iesus Christus Rex

When a virtuous man turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. But if a wicked man, turning from the wickedness he has committed, does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; since he has turned away from all...

Well of course. No one can have eternal life apart from Christ for He IS Life and He offers that life to all who would come to Him... To abide in Christ is to have the Life of Christ which is eternal. Indeed: For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus...

Hello GracePeace, And of course John also told us how to abide in Him: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day...

Indeed. The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water. Pax et Bonum

well I dont know about you, but I was born again by the power of the Holy Spirit... but yes you are correct, one cannot come to the Feast unless they have been baptized.. but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. Pax et Bonum

I have been led by the Holy Spirit, since before I can remember. I have always trusted in Christ to save me from my earliest memories. Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me." Though Him, And in Him, And with...

Hello Illuminator, Excellent. the unwritten tenant of the Reformation is oneself may judge their elders and if unsatisfied may go out and preach ones own Truth and begin ones own 'church'. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have...

Hello Truthn, No one is saying that Mary is our saviour. But her YES to God's will undoes the disobedience of Eve.. Pax et Bonum

Again, you misunderstand... Mary is the mother of our Saviour, Who is God! Pax et Bonum

That is incorrect. Jesus is divine, Mary is not. Everything that Mary is, flows from Whom Jesus is.. Pax et Bonum
