    How Many CH Forum Members Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?

    None, the proper approach is to pray that the light will come and chase the darkness away :P

    Perhaps you want to discuss the blessed trinity in the non-christian theology forum. This forum is, I believe, intended for discussions within the confines set by the Nicene Creed. If you start a new thread in the other place I will, God willing, participate.

    I see, is that why your faith icon is now showing as 'agnostic'?

    Mother of God

    I quoted from the New Revised Standard Version and it says, "No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known." (John 1:18) I'll stick with the better translation based on better manuscripts. Do you oppose the doctrine of the Blessed...

    It isn't works that are pruned away but branches and as the Lord says "ye are the branches".

    Clearly in this world those promises are what we hope for and patiently wait for knowing that they will be fulfilled in the next world when we rise to eternal life in Christ. That is why saint Paul says, "In hope, we already have salvation; in hope, not visibly present, or we should not be...

    The first chapter the gospel according to saint John. "No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known." (John 1:18)

    Mother of God

    I can post the Greek of the passage but unless the argument is substantial and directly related to Mary as the mother of God it would be an off topic foray into doctrines and ideas quite distinct from and not very directly related to the theme of this thread.

    Please, will you rephrase your post because I do not understand what it is intended to mean.

    It is an off topic set of definitions posted in this thread because a number of participants were either confused about the meaning of the word 'adoration' or were using definitions applicable to secular English usage but not to Catholic (Latin derived) use. It is better not to disturb this...

    We say both, in fact holy scripture says both. That is why we say both.

    False teachers

    The holy scriptures disagree with that, in fact the Lord Jesus Christ disagrees with that; he said,Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the...

    Once saved always saved?

    I am not moving away from 10 but the Lord says more than that he is the good shepherd, he also says he is the vine and his Father is the husbandman who prunes unfruitful branches out of the vine. Let's keep focus on what the Spirit of the Lord says to the churches.

    Like fruit? You mean that Jesus got it all wrong and they don't need to bear fruit? Amazing.

    Once saved always saved?

    And what do you make of the branches pruned from the vine? The Lord himself teaches that he is the vine and the faithful are the branches so how can branches that are in the vine, that is in Christ, be pruned and burned if "once saved always saved" is in keeping with the teaching of Christ?

    Once saved always saved?

    I noticed no interaction with either my post or the scripture quoted in it or the link between chapters ten and fifteen in the gospel according to saint John. But that is how the 'game' is played isn't it? The game is to avoid some passages so one can pretend that other passages are the clincher...

    Once saved always saved?

    John ten does not stand in isolation from John fifteen in which branches from the vine are pruned and burned. Those branches are in Christ until they are pruned and burned. Nobody can read the two chapters without coming away knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ wants the faithful to follow him...
