    Ye are gods

    Why do you reject the possibility that God is three Persons in one God, @Can't think of a name? Jesus does not mean when he's talking to the Pharisees either that they are God as his sons or that he and they are merely human sons created by God. How do I know? I know because of Jesus' many...

    An AI wrote this; it's about Catholic perspectives on Pentecostalism.

    What Catholic doctrine refers to as "sacred doctrine," @MoreCoffee, is really their additions of doctrines not supported in Scripture. To that addition I object. I was a Reformed pastor for almost 3 decades; we had creeds, but those statements were always available to change when they conflicted...

    Ye are gods

    @Can't think of a name, do you know the other passages in which Jesus claims to be God? The solution is that the Father and Jesus have both fully divine status, but they have different roles. As a result, the second Person of God somehow limited himself to add a human nature to his deity. Check...

    An AI wrote this; it's about Catholic perspectives on Pentecostalism.

    Look at Mark 7:1-13 here, @MoreCoffee, in which Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for adding their tradition to the Old Testament, which seems to be what the Catholic church has done to the whole Bible. Here it is: Mar 7:1 Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had...

    So, @MoreCoffee, that's the gist of those passages that I quoted, don't you think?

    An AI wrote this; it's about Catholic perspectives on Pentecostalism.

    It needs to be in the Bible, @MoreCoffee, because it is the only basis for our faith: Deu 8:3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Here are just some benefits of salvation that we receive in this life, @Lamb: 1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 1Co 12:28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping...

    Why is "apostolic succession" so important to the Catholic church, and where in the Bible do they find that idea taught, @MoreCoffee?

    What do you believe concerning Original Sin?

    Here is a quote from Matt Perman, which quotes several verses leading to the conclusion that we are all born with original sin: There are several lines of biblical evidence for the historic Christian doctrine that we are all born into the world with sinful natures, due to the sin of Adam...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    @MoreCoffee, don't you have answers for my questions, which were asked of you personally? I don't need to do research for those answers from you, do I?

    Predestination vs Free Will

    When you say that salvation is a partnership, @jswauto, I have to disagree, because the word "partnership" implies a relationship of equal status. Such a meaning is described in dictionary.com: partnershipBritish / ˈpɑːtnəʃɪp / noun a contractual relationship between two or more persons...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    So, are you saying that 2 Timothy 3:12-17 is "nonsense," @MoreCoffee? Please answer the response instead of wandering from the Word of God, which I prefer discussing.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    The Bible must be the only ground and basis for the Christian faith, since it is the inspired Word of God, @MoreCoffee. So, you think that you can base your faith on human teachings that have no connection with God's inspired Bible? Human thinking is far from trustworthy thinking unless it is...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    That's exactly what I object to in the Roman Catholic doctrines, @MoreCoffee. The church developed these ideas apart from explicit Bible teaching; it's a separate, extrabiblical tradition. What are the "New Testament images of heavenly intercession"? What Bible passages are they based on? My...

    Salvation not based on our merit

    I have always objected to the song "Reckless Love," @jswauto, because the word "reckless" has a negative connotation. For example, dictionary. com defines it as: utterly unconcerned about the consequences of some action; without caution; careless (usually followed byof ). Synonyms: imprudent...
