Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
“Pointing out” something with an opinion about other posters as if it is a fact is personal and considered mindreading as you can not know another poster’s thoughts.
Please consider carefully the above points as mods don’t wish to spend anymore time removing your posts.
See post 164.
No.
You see John 3:16 and John 19:30.
Do tell then. Just what did Jesus mean by *It is finished* if not the work of salvation for mankind? What was finished?
P>Please feel free to repost the ridiculous claims you made previously. I wouldn’t want to give you the chance to whine about cross posting.
see John 3:16 and John 19:30.
Why do I have the impression that the Catholics on FR are not so much interested in His Word and Truth but more obsessed with winning an argument at any cost?
agitprop is their stock in trade.
>> “Now answer this, what was Satan’s sin; in other words, why was Satan cast from Heaven?” <<
Contrary to popular confusion, Satan has not yet been cast out of heaven. That happens at the mid point of Daniel’s 70th week.
That event is likely to come soon, and when it does, you will see “Antichrist” stand on the Holy Place of the mercy seat of the Ark, and declare himself to be God.
Until then, he remains in the throne room accusing the believers.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Matthew an APOSTLE??!!
>> “Do you deny the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John?” <<

Vlad is just shoving standard catholic agitprop at us.
How odd to ignore such a simple question.
If you deny Him before man, He will deny you before God the Father. Just something to think about.
God cares about what we DO more than what we SAY.
Matthew 21:28-32
“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
“‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
“Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
“Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
So you cannot answer “yes” you just spew examples that you know - if you actually were Catholic and taught as a Catholic is taught - are NOT examples of Godhood. Right?
???
Great analogy.
In the Religion forum, on a thread titled Protecting God’s Word From “Bible Christians”, Rides_A_Red_Horse wrote:
You sound EXACTLY like a CERTAIN SERPENT in a garden.
Seems a bit over the line, no?
Good point. The non-temporal nature of God can make things a bit confusing at times.
I know, and when you showed where in Scripture God specifically forbid the practice, you were met with snarky challenges that showed an even worse understanding of God's word - as if Jesus' sacrifice on the cross made it okay for God's children to ignore everything He ever told us.
Seems a bit over the line, no?
There you go again, Narses.
Initially you asked “Were you ever taught that Mary was God or even god? Were you ever taught that she was divine? Were you ever taught that she was due worship or taught to worship her?”
I replied “I already answered yes to all of your questions by giving examples.” Those examples are on this thread.
You said “Really? You claim the Church taught you Mary is God?”
A reasonable person might say that sounds an awful lot like “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” It’s got that “Gotcha” tone to it.
Again, I said you ought to go back and read your questions and my answers. You’re behavior appears to be an attempt to set up word-snares and legalistic traps rather than to debate the merits of the subject.
>> “Seems a bit over the line, no?” <<

No, definitely not. If it is accurate, how can it be over any line?
.
My Bible already has red in it.
You too? Imagine that!
It is surprising that you would call "ridiculous" the truth that when Jesus said, "It is finished.", he was speaking of making complete propitiation for the sins of the world. I've got plenty of Scripture to back that up if you don't believe it.
The fact that you chose to ask a question that you certainly SHOULD have known was not a simple yes or no one, shows who is the one speaking volumes here? Gotcha questions are tricks of those who have an agenda and who really have no interest in honest answers.
