Yes, I think it was said way back in post#3 ??
Here, I'll re-quote the similar portion, so we're up to date....
→→Its dishonest to point to the year 45A.D. and 'catholics' in this context, bc it's obvious we're referring to ROMANCatholics, of which there werent any for a long time after the year...
God bless you, brother...if you're worried about committing the unpardonable sin, you havent!
The only thing you cant be forgiven of now is rejecting Jesus, and that has to be a willful knowledgeable rejection of His salvation He purchased for you thru His shed blood, death, burial and...
There werent any RomanCatholics in 45 A.D.
This is why so much of the language is vague, and often deliberately so, it seems.
They wont say WATER-baptism, even though they KNOW thats what is meant, bc it gives them an 'out' by being able to say 'See? It just says baptism, haha'.
Or it says...
Yeah. I said the same thing many times, both publicly and in private.
It was ignored.
Now, all this time later....but hey,
No matter, I still say it.
I wonder if anyone will take me up on it or include me at all?
I wont apologize any more for believing in Jesus.
I wont apologize any more for...
To throw the whole bunch on one heap???
And because THEIR THEOLOGY IS NOT LIKE MINE?
Obviously you dont even know 'My Theology' and obviously didnt read my post, or chose to twist what I said, (a more common occurance around here), and the personal digs and little teamwork insults are getting...
Really great post , #3 , Josiah.
I used to get called a protestant ... as a kid it seemed like an insult depending on who said it, and other times not, but I was never quite sure what it was supposed to mean, (and still dont, really, lol) I still get called that from time to time, even from ppl...
This was copied and pasted from a guy named Barnes? He doesnt speak like any RomanCatholic Ive ever known.
Most Ive talked to, and especially their hierarchy, place great importance on denominationalism, particularly their own.
Also, for most of my years, no one I knew from that denomination...
Yes Im WELL aware of the passage in Matthew.
It was what you said in your post that left me going (hunh?) bc what you said gives an entirely diff meaning to the scripture you quoted.
And Im pleading with you, as a friend and brother, Please, avoid the temptation of taking 1or 2 verses out of...
Continued from #7+#8 ...
Hi again. For Petes sake, eh? Lol.
(Dont worry, I wasnt saying you were negating your beliefs, just pointing out my general observations when ppl use the word 'but' sometimes.)
I cant stress it enough, its important for all of us to remember not to take a verse, or an...
Hi brother! Please dont take this in any condescending or snarky way, as is the manner of some, I mean this from the heart ..... Id really like to help you thru some of this stuff.
Im sure you could get some things without any trouble, you seem pretty sharp, and not too deeply locked in on...
Read the bible, believe what it says. It says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Why dont ppl take that thought captive to Christ and obey that?
Ive been ridiculed for believing that Jesus is the Only Saviour , and once youre saved, youre saved forever, bc He's a...
It's really strange to read a guy speaking as if he were God Himself speaking.
That aside, there were a couple things he said I would take issue with.
I wont detail it here now. (Too much going on)
Overall, it had a feel of self 'doing things or else'...a sort of heavy-handed depression and...
Ja, you butchered another one of my posts, I see...
I know what the CCC is, the Q was really rhetorical ....
The full Q properly re-quoted, was:
The CCC? Whats that? Meaning Who? So? Im not really interested in the RCdenominations book of rules, anymore than Im interested in the book of...
I underlined those last 4 words. WHO is the US? Just anybody? Anyone who says they're a christian? JWs? Mormons? NewAgers? RomanCatholics? SDAs? Who is the us?
I notice you like to go to this one verse from Ephesians as a proof text for a number of things,..... Baby baptisms, water-baptism in...
It's heartbreaking and angers me greatly the amount of deception there is out there, and there are dozens and dozens of these types out there.
And you wouldnt believe some of the whos whos that either tacitly support, openly endorse, and even engage in themselves. It's rather astonishing until...
Im so glad Jesus set me free from the bondage of religious mumbo-jumbo,
although reading some of what I read on here is making me want to start a new one:
Boodism ..... as in BOOOOOOOO!!!
A couple ppl tried to explain this passage, some dont want to listen.
We point things out but they get...
Yeah, you got room to talk, being one of the most arrogant jerks ever to be on a site like this. Its YOUR denomination that Lords it over others, and holds to doctrine that Jesus hates, chap.
Giving the gospel ... praying for others to be saved, that's something YOU CONSIDER being a jerk...
