I think Angelo is blind and deaf to the gospel.
Now if faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word..then maybe at some point a scripture will open his eyes.
The Mormons have read the bible too, so have the JW's..without the illumination of the Holy Spirit to a regenerate heart it is just bachround noise
How often did you hear it before you HEARD it?
How can one drive someone further away than lost?
See by your construct if you are nice to Ange and do not challange him too much MAYBE he will finally hear it thanks to your good nature
I think that Ange will hear and understand when God opens his ears to hear it and not one minute sooner..I can not save anyone..only God calls and saves..
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
I can not pretend that Ange is simply arguing a doctrinal distinction as you and I are...This is a serious thing Mack someone we both like alot is lost..so I get hyper sorry
That is because you are blind and deaf to the Torah. I'm gonna pray that you repent of your idolatry and convert to Judaism. We don't normally proselytize, but in your case I'll make an exception. ;o)
