What I was referring to with regards to "source doesn't matter ..." was the matrial I laid out for the specific reasoning for the previous argument, not the overall mindset of "GotQuestions." So, let's stay on task if you would. If the quotes you've offered above are indeed from...

BTW, I offer a quote from the "Got Questions" website referring Catholicism. https://www.gotquestions.org/Catholic-questions.html It certainly does not reflect your opinion. In all my research that has involved the "Got Questions" website, I have never observed it to be what you say of "Its...

As state, I completely understand.

That's your opinion, & may be a valid one, altho having grown up Catholic, I haven't seen this to be the case in as strong of terms as you seem to think. Also, your, "Nothing on the website is "right,"" is a gross exaggeration don't ya think? That being said, instead of attacking the source...

I figured I give you the most plain English verses I could find that explain it. How do you know if it's a good list if you, yourself do on understand the context? Please let me know what you do not understand, or re you attempting to prolong the discussion ..... just bc?

Matt 13 is one. Galatians 5:16-18 Galatians 5:22-23 Romans 6:18 John 13:35 1 John 2:13 & the multitude of vereses in the NT re becoming more like Jesus. I believe the above verses are self explanatory re a true vs false Christian.

I can cite my sources if you wish, but isn't the content of what is said the crux for our discussion since the quote says it better than I could, aht-the while agreeing with what the source states? Just say you hate "Got questions," right? It doesn't matter if what is said goes along with what...

Timothy referred to those that were never believers in the 1st place. They were giving false messages from jump. 'Seducing spirits' tell us this fact.

Sorry. A false Christian ..... meaning those that give the impression they are a true believer, but have not accepted Jesus as a Christian must. Ya know, like a Sunday church goer, but that's pretty much the totality of their faith.

Hebrews 6:4-6 One interpretation holds that this passage is written not about Christians but about unbelievers who are convinced of the basic truths of the gospel but who have not placed their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. They are intellectually persuaded but spiritually uncommitted...

Timothy didn't mean that those that apostatize ever were true Christians to begin with. but they would profess departure from true doctrine re Christian faith. Reference "seducing spirits" in this verse.

To give more insight re OSAS vs OSNAS re the NT, it states many times, that there is one way for salvation, & not one mention how to lose salvation. Well, it does tell us blaspheming the Holy Spirit, is a way, but doing that, also tells us that a person capable of doing so, never was a true...

According to the NT, there is only one sure path for salvation. & that is a belief Jesus is God, & He died for our sins (we know live in grace not works), ask for help with changing one's life (repentance), & continued honest attempt with changing one's life. Thing is, we are told to leave it...

To have faith in someone or something, one must rely on past experiences regarding them/it. We use evidence gathered thru whatever means to be able to have faith that our decisions regarding what we believe will be the correct & prudent choice. In order to believe, one must have faith with...

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on this subject. I heard a story re this a long time ago that put my mind at ease. It seemed that St. Thomas was walking along a dirt road contemplating the Trinity with no success. He came upon a child that was using a spoon to transfer the water from a lake...

Keeping a record of wrongs done to us only reminds us of the wrongs, which in turn keeps us focused on the negative situation, which in turn, stops us from forgiveness & moving on from the wrong/hurt. If whatever happened is so severe that one cannot move on with that person that wronged us...

Please give me a reference re "God can destroy the body in Hell."

Check out Andy Stanley's sermon re "How good enough is good?" That's just it, there is no answer. Good is relative to everyone, that's why God gave us Jesus & took the merit system out of the picture. That settled, faith w/o works is not the right approach either. We must act as tho we are...

I don't look at that saying like that. I think God will give us strength & peace to withstand what we are going thru according to our relationship with Him. The thing is a trust issue. If we do not absolutely trust God to help, & believe me that trust is a tough thing to give & receive, then...

Talk to a trusted Catholic priest 1st. Give it a fighting chance. Ya never know. If not satisfied, start frequenting a church nereby after you read their mission statement online & see if it corresponds with what you are looking for. Attend a church service & see how satisfied you are. You...
