Really? REALLY? THAT'S where you're going?
Oh, and if you're going to suggest someone is gay perhaps the use of the word "flavor" is a mistake. Saying "This tastes gay" is a bad idea.

The dog that yelps...

Yeah. OK, got it: there are not three Es in Blessed.
But we know from Calvin that blessed doesn't mean blessed here, it means "happy."
AND according to Scripture.
John 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."
If you wish to quibble with "not yet with" and "not yet ascended to" quibble with someone else.
If you pay attention to the post in question you'll note that I said nothing concerning Trinity.
Perhaps not directly.
Not directly nor indirectly. I said nothing concerning the Trinity.
My statement was that the Catholic Church and mainstream Protestants have ALWAYS agreed on the Trinity and this is entirely true.
And I didn't take issue with that qualified statement.
As for your statement that Christians haven't always believed in the Trinity, I think it is more appropriate to say that Christians haven't always UNDERSTOOD the Trinity. Before the formulation, there was no rejection of it, it had simply not yet understood.
This is pure baloney. There was vigorous disagreement concerning the Trinity. What was the primary purpose of the Council Of Nicaea called by Constantine?
How sad, to go to your death not knowing your final end.. Perhaps that is why I saw so many Catholics die in fear.. hanging onto their rosary, that will never save. And Protestants die so well ..
Mark I know my eternal fate. I faced death a couple years ago, with peace. I love this life, and my family, I love the earth God created.. I was not anxious to leave it all, but I knew if that was the time God ordained I would be in His arms
I am so sorry that you can not share that assurance.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God
Mark those that choose to live by the law and not grace will be judged by the law
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Considering Calvinist theology, when your foundational view of humanity is Totally Depraved, "human being" would be an honor.
LOL The proplem is it is not read in context.. that is why there is no official Roman biblical commentary
Are you assured you were born saved? Saved in the womb?
Doesn't bite?
or
Is the one you hit?
or
Before it's been hit by the stone?
OR
the dog that yelps with craving
grows quiet while it chews its food
Or
tastes gay?
I don't know, you're the one who smeared Natural Law and used the word "flavor" when referring to Barney Frank. Not a wise choice when calling someone gay.
Are you really trying that hard to look like an idiot?
Bawney (the ‘Queen’ of congress) is known for his long winded dirges on subjects for which he has zero knowledge.

If that is what you meant fine. Those of us who accept the Trinity understand the He and the Father have always been One, His Ascension doesn't change that fact.
This is pure baloney. There was vigorous disagreement concerning the Trinity. What was the primary purpose of the Council Of Nicaea called by Constantine?
As I said, there has been debate since the formula was developed, but not before then.
Yes, I know because I believe what the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church teaches. I am not tethered by the 16th century man-made invention of sola scriptura.
Congratulations. Just when I thought the tone couldn’t go any lower..
This most likely deals with end time warnings
"Ver. 1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven,.... The Gospel church state either as it would be a little before the coming of the son of man to take vengeance on the Jews; or as it will be a little before his second coming to judgment: for the parable is manifestly connected with, and refers to the preceding chapter, which chiefly treats of Jerusalem's destruction: but though the Jews were in great security before their utter ruin, yet it does not appear that the Christian church was then in such a lukewarm, drowsy, and sleepy condition, as this parable represents; and since, in the latter part of the preceding chapter, there are some hints of Christ's second and last coming; when the servant found doing his Lord's will, will be greatly honoured, and the wicked, cruel, and licentious servant will be severely punished; and since, at the close of this and the following parable, there is a very lively description given of the last judgment; as also, because it appears elsewhere, that such will be the formal, lukewarm, cold, indifferent, secure, and sleepy state of the church, before the second coming of Christ: it seems right and best to understand this parable, and the following, as having respect to that: and that the design of it is to show, what will be the case of professors at that time; the difference between nominal and real Christians; how far persons may go in a profession of religion, and yet, at last, be shut out of heaven: as also the suddenness of Christ's coming; the necessity of being ready for it; and how watchful the saints should be, that they be not surprised with it. Now some time before this, the Gospel church state, or the body of professing Christians, will be likened unto ten virgins; to "virgins" for quality; being betrothed ones to Christ, at least in profession; and because of the singleness of their love, and chaste adherence to him, however, as they will declare, and which, in some of them, will be fact; and for their beauty, comeliness, and gay attire, being, as they will profess, clothed with the righteousness of Christ;
Gill commentary
I'd call you a pig but this innocent old man had the same thought. :-)
Scripture promises that the elect will not be deceived, and He will keep them secure
Point us at the purgatory scripture?
And if you are deceived, turns out you weren’t elect to begin with.
Nice circle.
“Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus, 1950: “We must remember especially that since the 2nd century, the Virgin Mary has been presented by the holy Fathers as the New Eve,......”
but the inspired apostles like Paul who wrote who that seed actually was in Galatians, Christ, and those who received adoption as heirs.
Where is Mary in all of this? Queen of Heaven, Redeemer, on a throne in heaven, spiritual mother, on and on endlessly?
Not there beyond what the Scriptures actually say of her.
And, as I have said, this is pure baloney.
You chose not to answer why Constantine called The Council Of Nicaea. Why?
