So are we saved by faith alone or by whether or not we (allegedly) practise witchcraft? Which is it? Or are we witnessing a case of Schroedinger's Gospel?

If you can show me it's a sin, then by all means. But why would I perish for this one sin - surely we are saved by faith alone, brother, not by whether we agree with you on the doctrine of the Lord's Supper? I think you may be adding a few things to your own Gospel there...

Where's your evidence for all these outlandish claims? They are so manifestly inaccurate that I don't know where to start. Let's kick off with your claim that the RCC has banned Revelation - why, then, is it in their Lectionary (Ok, they call it The Apocalypse but that's just an Anglicisation...

Who died and appointed you arbiter of who's a Baptist and who isn't?

I don't love my wife perfectly, yet I love her and we are married. What makes a marriage: is it just the wedding ceremony and marriage certificate? Or is it also a lifetime of love, growing together and laying down our lives for each other through acts of loving service? If the latter is absent...

Um...Jesus' words. Guess He had a 'reprobate mind'; I expect that's why they crucified Him...

That answers the second leg of my question - sort of: it also begs more questions though. What if you don't keep His commandments? What if you don't love Him? Are you still saved?

Question, then: if salvation if by faith alone, what do you mean by that word 'faith'? Is it an intellectual assent to a set of propositions, a belief of some kind, or more than that? If the last, what is the 'more' element? And where does that leave the concept of love? Christianity is above...

And all three groups were Gnostic heretics

It was Zwingli who did that, IIRC, and also Zwingli who put forward the idea that Communion was just a memorial - after nearly 1500 years of believing, from the Apostles onwards, that it was the Body and Blood of Christ

Cathars?! Really?!

Bit of a dialogue of the deaf you have going here, Adonia...

Lent is for me a time when I try with God's gracious help to let go of those things which interfere with my relationship with Him and focus on those practices which improve it. Of course we should do this every day all year round but it's interesting and noteworthy that He has chosen to place us...

No, it's not anti-Semitic to call Israel an apartheid state...because it is, denying some of those within its boundaries basic property rights under the Rule of Law based solely on their race, just like South Africa did until 1994. Imagine if an American group decided to set up a state in the US...

You're conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism; they are two quite different things (you might as well conflate being anti-KKK with being anti-white southerners). And if you believe what you read in the Daily Mail, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...

The BBC, uber-leftist?

If you don't like our laws you should get out of our country, Britain First leaders told

I was and remain so. And we need immigration: we have an ageing population with inadequate numbers of younger people to sustain them; the immigrants tend to be young and fit plus generally hard-working, so the economic case for them is pretty strong.

Disability welfare has been cut, with particular reference to people being declared fit to work when they medically are not. If you get rid of what remains of givernment assistance for people who cannot work, private charitable provision is woefully inadequate and we will return to the state of...
