Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm neither Catholic nor Protestant. I'm just a Christian who believes that the Bible is the word of God and that the true understanding of it comes through the Holy Spirit. All that we can do is preach what we understand knowing that the Father will bring this...

Augustine of Hippo lived from 354 AD to 430 AD. That is the time that Nicene Emperor Theodocius declared the Edict of Thessalonica which declared that the Trinity had to be taught throughout the Roman empire, and anyone teachig anything different would be punished by the Roman government. This...

Eph 2: 8-9 clearly states that even our faith is the work of God and not our doing. Augustine of Hippo lived from 354 AD to 430 AD. That is the time that Nicene Emperor Theodocius declared the Edict of Thessalonica which declared that the Trinity had to be taught throughout the Roman empire, and...

Read the first verse in Eph 2: 8. Yes we are saved through faith. Faith is not produced by us (and that not of yourselves). It is the work and gift of God Not of works, lest any man should boast in verse 9. Good works is the result of this faith.

The works themself are not good works. It is the motivation for them that matters to God. Read 1 Cor 13. It doesn't matter what good work you do if not done with love in your heart. The "good works" spoken of are works motivated by love.

Please do.

Go to the thread " Searching for Truth Seekers!" and check out the 31 Catholic mistakes. All of their doctrines are wrong and the reason is explained. Also, read post #261 which explains the history of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church was the first Christian organization that...

And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Yes, we can forgive trespasses against us, but we all have to answer to a higher being. The person who killed Charlie Kirk was forgiven by his wife, Erika Kirk. Does that mean that his sin has been erased? No, he still...

I notice that many people go to church thinking that they are satisfying a requirement for which they will get a reward. The Roman Catholic Church has during service a priest who recites a scripted statement and the congregation responds with a scripted reply. They sit in unison, stand in...

Paul Thomson, you posted: You can't have all that church provides by staying at home on your own with Jesus. I agree with that 100%. However, a true Christian would not be staying at home and be unproductive. He would worship and would be in constant communication with both Father and Son...

No need for water baptism. You get baptized in the name of the Father when the Father chooses you by filling you with repentance so that you turn to Him because of your sorrow of committing your sins. You get baptized in the name of the Son when your belief and trust in the Father's plan for the...

Definitely not. You need to read my post again. Catholic priests do not remit or retain sins. God does through the preaching of the Gospel by Christians. Those that believe the Gospel by hearing will have their sins remitted. Those that don't believe will have their sins retained.

Hi Paul. In order to understand John 20: 22-23 you have to also include John 20: 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. In verse 22 Jesus breathes on them the Holy Spirit and they received understanding that Jesus lived, suffered...

That is a very good question. How can we recognize in our beings that we are born again? You can feel the love for God the Father for choosing you and for Jesus for dying on the cross for you. No more hate or anger towards anyone. You can hate or be angry towards their behavior or what they say...

I believe you and I apologize. :)

Did you ever think that maybe English is not his/her first language and he/she was doing her/his best to convey his/her thoughts. I don't think you were intentionally rude. You just might not have considered that maybe there is a reason for his/her lack of good grammar and that this website is...

There are no conditions on our part to be chosen because none of us are worthy, and it is God the Father who chooses. When you think that there are requirements that you have to fulfill in order to be chosen, you are trying to give yourself the glory for being chosen. All glory goes to God, not...

What condemns humanity is their motivation for living. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they and all their descendants have that knowledge. Romans 4: 15 We are all born under the Law because we all have a conscience and know what is right. We break the Law...

Just a friendly reminder, you needn't be rude. I read her post and I understood everything she/he was saying. Salvation is a state of being. When you are chosen, you are put in that state of being. How does one have a choice when you are already in that state of being. The only way that you...

They prophesied and did wonderful works in the name of the Lord Jesus. They were expecting to be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven which means that they believed that, and the faith was there. What was missing was doing the will of the Father and being known by Jesus which comes when you...
