"Proof" as in absolute proof, but not without evidential warrant. While the secular definition is often faith is belief in the absence of evidence, or despite it, that is simply not what is manifest in Scripture. Do i need to show you?
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. (1 Kings 17:23-24)
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance [faith] unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31)
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. (1 John 4:14)
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. (Acts 18:27-28)
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. (Romans 15:18-19)
Yet, at some point one must hear and obey the light they have for more light to be salvific:
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (Luke 16:31)
Well...
Old Contract and New Contract are the main divisions in My bible!
My apologies.
I just have to wonder why you continually tell me what it says instead of asking why I don’t agree with your assertion.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
1Jn_5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Alrighty then...Clue us in...What did John actually write in those verses???
Sure do; but there is no one left on this thread that cares.
Any lurker with two or more brain cells to rub together has already abandoned the ship.
I'm outta here; too.
I've had enough of Nyah nyah - yer wrong for one day.
Yup, my statement was out of a lack of understanding, rather than sarcasm.
Isn’t it amazing, that Jesus will be physically on the earth, ruling with a rod of iron, and there could be millions, who see him and still don’t believe. But then again, he walked the earth before, and most people didn’t believe him. Why should it be any different, in the millennium? My opinion is, that all those who physically survive the Tribulation, will be gathered, and only true believers will be allowed to enter the kingdom. All unbelievers will be killed by God. No unbelievers will be allowed into the kingdom, and false religions will not be allowed on the earth. Then, live, mortal believers will start having sex again. (oh the horror of it all) 😁 It is some of the children of the believers, who won’t believe, and will rebel. That’s my opinion.
Yes, your statement above is contempt of Our Lord's Mother and Our Lord, Himself.
Thanks for proving the article true.
No they don't...Christian denominations know their church buildings are filled with wheat AND tares...But we know it is only the wheat that are the Body of Christ...Difference is: Catholics think that every Catholic whether wheat or tare is a member of the Body of Christ, since the Catholic church is the body of Christ...
Just what they say; why, are you going to tell me what they REALLY mean?
Or lying wonders of demons.... Discernment ebb. Not everything that appears Mira Lou’s is of God.
Adam and Ever ARE the original sin...
so you are on drugs!
Correction, I meant born/created with original sin.
Of course Adam and Eve sinned.
Not everything that appears miraculous is of God should he....
Well c'mon...You said we are not reading what we are reading...Enlighten us then...
Because they mean what they say...You claimed they don't say what I think they say...So what do they say and what do they mean??? I'd like to know...
Correct me if I am wrong.
The Catholics believe that jesus was God in the the flesh so
therefore believe that Mary is the mother of God.
The Protestants believe Jesus was God in the flesh but deny that
Mary was the mother of God, talk about hypocrictical.
Or is it just stupid?.
