So... when you believe or quote a passage of scripture... let’s say John 3:16, then it’s only your opinion that Christ said that if we believe in Him we will have everlasting life? That is opinion?

If God says it, it IS. No opinion about it at all. When God tells us we are to have no other gods before Him, is it a suggestion, or a command? Doesn’t that rate as fact?

If Christ teaches us to pray to the Father, does that mean it’s an opinion only?

Nice, but again, fail.

Well, it can't be "again, fail," since this is the first time I've posted to you on this subject. I guess the best thing I could say with respect to your reply to what I wrote is that you need to learn to read and to respond to what is actually in the text, an ability I've seen is sorely lacking amongst certain Freepers. I do, though, see a lot of reactive reading. The reader sees certain words or phrases, reacts to them in isolation, assumes that his reactions are what the writer was stating or implying and responds to them instead of to what was actually written.

So, read what I wrote and respond to that. You failed to do that about as completely as is possible for anyone to do.

Odd that one of the harpy followers would bring up the words of Jesus; and especially this verse which is the promise that Jesus extends to all men. I thought that you guys preached the gospel of Paul and rejected the Gospel of Jesus as for the Jews only; and that salvation was only for predetermined men, and bulk of humanity, according to the Calvinist God, can just go to hell. Can you expand on this seeming lack of consistency? Or haven't the Calvinist lessons taken? Is the Calvinist load too heavy?

Jesus says that all men will be Judged by their deeds and their salvation will be rendered to them accordingly. Do you believe in that? Paul says it too, but if you are a Christian, you hold the words of God in higher esteem than words of bishops of the Church, right?

Are you one that believes that one must ONLY pray to the Father? Do you pray in Jesus' Name only? Is it blasphemy to pray to Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Where does your doctrine come from? What is the mechanism by which it has been generated which makes it different from Christian beliefs?

And of course, the demigod J. Gresham Machen understood his followers very well:

But never fear, we have 83 year old busybody females that have no hesitation about instructing men in their faith, regardless of how their god Paul proscribes such deeds:

INDEED.

Excellent response to aruanan, who failed to make any salient point other than to question the confidence Christians have been given in the veracity of the word of God.
