But how can I question the salvation of those I disagree with when they don't claim to be saved in the first place?

Same old stuff you wrote before. I still can't fine the terms "mortal sin" and "venial sin" anywhere in the Bible.

Cathode, are you saved?

Sorry, but it sure does.

Sorry, but sin is sin. You still don't get it.

I have another question for you Cathode. Are you saved?

In your first quote, John is referring to the unpardonable sin, or the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, NOT some "mortal sin or venial sin" that the Catholics just made up. Your second quote means that you are in danger of hell fire if you are not saved. Once again, there is no mention of "mortal...

Where in the Bible is "mortal sin" mentioned?

I said before Christ appeared on earth. I did not say that he didn't exist before that. Read what is written. You don't understand scripture so why should anyone believe that you understand anything else that is written?

Catholicism surely doesn't fit the Bible's description of the Church. BTW, I am a Baptist. I am NOT a Protestant.

The first verse in the Book of John states that "In the beginning was the word." The Word, the Holy Scripture existed even before Christ appeared on earth. You believe that scripture alone is "ridiculous and false." Your belief is ridiculous. No wonder that the Catholics have it all wrong if...

But the Bible does not say that salvation is a process. It DOES say that it IS a singular instant. But, because Catholics don't believe that the Bible is the one final and undisputable word of God and that other things come in to play such as tradition, church doctrine, the sacrements, etc. then...

Agreed. Then that saved person, Catholic or not should want others to be saved too.

But this does not claim that a person is not always saved if he/she is saved in the first place. There is no such thing as "mortal sin." Sin is sin. There is no distinction between the "kinds" of sin. Sure, a saved person can backslide, but a truly saved person will come back, just like Fred...

Where in the Bible does it say that OSAS is false? John 3:16 says that we have eternal life, not temporary life or life until we do something wrong.

Matthew 7: 16-20

The reason I ask is that I have attended several Catholic services (or Masses) that were led by five different priests. During their mini sermon or Homilies, I never once heard any one of them give the plan of salvation. They talked about being kind to your neighbor, overcoming trials in your...

I never said that you are nothing. I just said that this scripture fits you. You might not be nothing, but you do think you are something. I will give you some credit though. You are pretty good at turning things around to make those things mean what you want them to mean even when you are...

Yeah right. See how it fits? The definition of pissant I am referring to is not the one you mention, it is the one that Vonnegut coins in his novel Cat's Cradle. Sorry, no brag, just fact. Galatians 6:3 has you pegged to a T. "If a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he...

I never said you were bragging, but then again you must be if you refer to yourself as bragging. I am not bragging, just relating some info. I did not call you a vulgar name. It's just that you fit Vonnegut's definition so well. I see from the evidence that you did not look it up. BTW, I'm glad...
