1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

That's a decision you must make. Suggested reading:

Evidence That Demands a Verdict

[boatbums]

You are still avoiding the direct and clear words of Paul: THOSE WHO SIN WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! This Biblical truth comes before any circumlocutious attempt to deny it.

Some more of what Paul says:

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (I Corinthians 6:9-11)

The solution is to open these threads under the caucus protection that the religion moderator gives.

Go to the Religion Moderator's home page where "caucus" thread qualifications are defined. You will then understand WHY a thread like this won't hold that designation.

If you don't wish to read other's arguments against a topic's point, simply skip it. Why shouldn't those being maligned or misrepresented not have a chance to voice their viewpoint and join in the discussion?

Because the threads turn into a shiiteshow, that’s why.

[Kevmo]

You need to look at the additional hedges available from “Open” threads under the religion topic.

Doctrines of men...

LoL...
You follow Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, wycliffe, Henry VII and ALL the other MEN and their doctrines as if they all are on the same page.... If any of them survive 2000 years... the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church will be 3500 years old.... but I wouldnt hold your breath on that....

OK...SO......if I give you documented evidence of Peter in Rome, evidence of Linus succeeding him as Bishop of Rome- head of the Church as Christ elected him... validating those facts as absolute...

Will you say right now that you will from this point forward- with God as your witness- accept, and no longer deny the Papal Authority and its succession of the earliest Church on planet Earth?

"No signed paper can hold the iron.
It must come from men. The words of
Ten Bears carries the same iron of life
and death.

It is good that warriors such
as we meet in the struggle of life... or
death. It shall be life.
So will it be."

[Petrosius]

Please explain your understanding of the distinction between the soul and the spirit in their own terms, i.e. prior to being saved in Jesus Christ, and what is the relation between them. How do each relate to our acts of sinning and to the operation of the intellect and will.

[daniel1212]

"Invalidate your non-sequitur word-bomb "reproof"? wouldn't think of it!!"

That is obvious, for I searched the rest of your response for an actual interaction and rebuttal to what I said only to find non-sequitur assertions, as if i actually argued that the church was not necessary, and had not shown you before that SS materially provides for " synods and councils, ministerially to determine controversies of faith, and cases of conscience; to set down rules and directions for the better ordering of the public worship of God," (Westminster Confession XXXI) which you ignore, as is typical, as well as the argument that it is Rome as being the sure and supreme standard that is what is untenable, versus Scriptural authority.

And likewise ignoring the testimony that those who most strongly esteemed as the accurate and wholly inspired word of God, with its basic literal hermeneutic, have long testified to being far more conservative and unified in polled core beliefs and values (thus voting about 80% for Republican Presidential candidates) than Catholics overall, whom Rome manifestly considers to be members, you still resort to invoking the example of those who do not hold to Scripture as being the authority as an argument against doing so!

One thing though about your vain parroted argumentation is that it is an argument against being a Catholic. Your silence would be wise.

[Elsie]

What is your point?

That Scriptures says that ALL will be at the GWT judgement.

[Elsie]

Never heard of a dead body doing it either.

There are multiple other languages you know, besides Angleish

Perhaps; but only the King's English version gets it right.

You will soon be hearing from someone in the Department of Redundancy Department.

Call no man father...

[Elsie]

Too many of us are just squawking,
About Jesus we should be talking.
But in the end,
we all seem to tend,
our understandings that we are hawking.

(I need a word that rhymes with Olympics...)

[Elsie]

(I'd better stick with a word that rhymes with games!)
