How did 8-day-old infants enter a Covenant with God by having their foreskin chopped off? Answer: They were raised in the faith by their parents, which was part of the Covenant. The OT Type that was circumcision is now fulfilled by BAPTISM which Paul refers to as "circumcision of the heart"...

Yes - why don't we stop right there - since NONE of you seem to understand what "Roman Catholic" means. Allow me to educate you . . . First of all - there is NO "Roman Catholic Church" The official name of the Catholic Church is - "The Catholic Church". "Roman" or "Latin" simply refers to the...

If it's so "abysmal" - why do YOU and every other anti-Catholic here keep dodging the "Epignosis" issue?? Unlike the Greek words "gnosis" or "oida" which describe an intellectual knowledge - "Epignosis" describes a full, experiential and relational knowledge - similar to that of a husband and...

By your saying "Hogwash!" - you render Christ a liar. He gave His Church supreme earthly authority - that WHATEVER it bound or loosed on earth would be bound or loosed n Heaven (Matt. 18:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, John 20:21-23) and that the Holy spirit would guide it to ALL TRUTH (John 16:12-15)...

WRONG. The Bible shows us the WHOLE process . . . The Scriptures assure us that we as Christians are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8) This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to believe. However, because Salvation is a LIFELONG process and we still struggle with sin...

And, unless YOU are pure - YOU ain't getting into Heaven. The Father is NOT an idiot who has people sneaking into Heaven disguised in Christ's righteousness. Christ MAKES us righteous because, according to Rev. 21:27 - you can't get into Heaven if you are impure or imperfect. Luther made the...

As I have already explained to you - the Thief was covered by Baptism of Desire. He absolutely WOULD have been baptized if he had the chance - but he was busy being executed. In His infinite mercy - God makes exceptions.

That's NOT what I asked you. I asked you to show me where Scripture says that you're "just as holy" as Christ Himself?? It NEVER makes this claim so your words are blasphemous.

Then YOU don't know your Bible . . . First of all - WHO said that something has to be explicitly taught in Scripture to be true?? The Trinity is not an explicit teaching - but it is implicitly taught. The SAME goes for the Incarnation. There are MANY verses that describe God handing out his...

Where does Scripture say that you're "just as holy" as Christ Himself?? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

There s NO salvation without Baptism (John 3:5, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38. 2 Pet. 3:21).

And once again - the Bible disagrees with you . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you REMAIN in his kindness; otherwise you to will be cut off.” Paul is warning the faithful to REMAIN in God’s favor...

I'm not sure how many times you have to be show from Scripture that you're wrong - but you're wrong. Salvation requires our cooperation with God's grace (Matt. 7:21, Matt. 23:31-46, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Gal. 5:6). Faith is NOT a spectator sport . . .

As long as you don't fall into the trap of thinking that faith is simply "believing" - because it's already been shown to you that even the DEMONS believe in the truths about God (James 2:19). Faith requires hope and love- and love is an ACTION - not just a "feeling" . . .

That's NOT what the Bible says (Matt. 7:21, Matt. 23:31-46, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Gal. 5:6). We have to cooperate with the grace gained from the Crucifixion. We don't get to just sit there and ignore it and expect it to apply to us.

Amen.

And, like I said - Jesus taught us how to pray to the FATHER because He was showing the crowd how to approach him AS a Father. Jesus never said, "This is the ONLY way you should pray." Apparently - YOU don't know what "pray" means. Time for a language lesson . . . Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate...

That's NOT what the Bible teaches (James 2:14-26, Gal. 5-6, 1 Cor. 13:1-13). ALL of these passages show that faith is not simply a "feeling" but an ACTION. It's Love in action.

Jesus and the NT writers also defined what "belief" is. It entails: - Being baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) - Picking up our cross daily to follow him (Matt. 16:24, Luke 9:23) - Works of mercy and charity (Matt. 19:21, 25:31–46, Luke...

You keep making this statement - and you have YET to show me a single verse that makes this claim. Chapter and Verse, please . . .
