    A child of the devil....

    What on earth are you talking about? What I said was an accurate representation of Catholic doctrine regarding salvation was: I personally don't believe we can 'procur' or earn our salvation by either faith or works. I believe we are saved by grace, a gift freely offered by God through the...

    I am a Catholic, why should I consider becoming a Christian?

    I would just like to say that I believe you are exactly right and that is quite profound.

    I am a Catholic, why should I consider becoming a Christian?

    Which synod are you? And which ones would you consider 'out there'? I've always been interested in how the whole 'synod' deal works. This was issued with the Lutheran World Federation, and here's a link if you're interested: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/ponti ... on_en.html

    I am a Catholic, why should I consider becoming a Christian?

    Were you aware that the Lutherans and Catholics issued a joint document on justification a few years back?

    It's an accurate representation of Catholic doctrine regarding salvation.

    I am a Catholic, why should I consider becoming a Christian?

    I don't believe you will find anywhere that I stated that 'works get you into heaven', especially since that would not be what I believe. Nor would I believe that my faith has earned me a place in heaven. I would say that they are both evidence of God's grace working in my life. There are...

    A child of the devil....

    Hi Drew. I personally don't believe we can 'procur' or earn our salvation by either faith or works. I believe we are saved by grace, a gift freely offered by God through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. If we accept the grace that God has bestowed, the evidence in our life will be faith...

    Catholicism and Apostolic Succession

    I'm not saying you're slow or anything, but I figured this out the first day. :wink: The problem with engaging too deeply is certainly a risk of becoming uncharitable oneself. But I've read many of your posts and you've done an admirable job of speaking the truth about Catholicism and what...

    I am a Catholic, why should I consider becoming a Christian?

    The good samaritan story is one of my favorites as well. And it is launched because someone once again asked Jesus what was required for eternal life. Jesus asked him how he interpreted the law in this regard, and the man replied "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your...

    [_ Old Earth _] HUMAN GENOME PROJECT: QUANTITATIVE DISPROOF OF EVOLUTION

    Thanks for your welcome. I'll be around but won't be a marathon poster by any means. This thread caught my eye because I happen to be a real fan of Francis Collins.

    A child of the devil....

    I have read. All of it. Many times. My interpretation is simply that in this Gospel story, Jesus gives us a picture of what it's going to be like at the end of the world when He separates the sheep and the goats. The criteria to be a sheep -- "For I was hungry and you gave me something to...

    A child of the devil....

    I'm not saying anything except commenting on the criteria in this story Jesus told for being on the 'sheep' side of His judgment. In this story, I see nothing but works for the criteria. Do you see some other criteria He uses to separate the sheep from the goats in this story?
  13. T

    A child of the devil....

    The separation of the sheep and goats is indeed an interesting glimpse into how Jesus says people become His. No concern for what people believe, or profess to believe or whom they believe in. No correct doctrine. Coming to the Father through Him is achieved simply by a ministry of works to...

    [_ Old Earth _] HUMAN GENOME PROJECT: QUANTITATIVE DISPROOF OF EVOLUTION

    Ironically, the head of the human genome project, a scientist with impeccable credientials would disagree that the project disproves evolution, very much. One might want to actually go to the source and to a well-respected scientist when discussing scientific information. Francis Collins wrote...

    HELL 20/20 ****Tonight****

    No need to re-read. I believe I stated I made a bad assumption and apologized. I will admit to being somewhat confused as to what would be "appropriate" to say here and not, or when an honest mistake and apology isn't accepted, yet blatantantly taking things of context seems to be quite...

    HELL 20/20 ****Tonight****

    I assumed the "everybody knows he is going there" to be his sentiment. If I misunderstood that, I certainly do apologize. I've just noticed several posts on this forum pronouncing certain people to be going to hell, so I myself made a bad assumption.

    HELL 20/20 ****Tonight****

    :-? I take it you are a believer in pre-destination? Or that a soul can reach a point past redemption before death?

    Pope So, you're not Catholic? Then you're not in true Church

    You started this topic by opening with "I just have to post this latest news from the Vatican' it's a kicker' I tell you. This kind of stuff must be exposed' because many will believe this nonsense. And Benedict XVI will have a hand in sending them to Hell.", but you don't want it to turn in to...

    Pope So, you're not Catholic? Then you're not in true Church

    That's funny. Catholic doctrine would be that no one (not even the Pope) could make a statement that somebody would be in hell. It's clear that Jesus is the sole judge, as based in Scripture. Such as: John 5:27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 2...

    Pope So, you're not Catholic? Then you're not in true Church

    Hmm. Now I would consider that statement blasphemous. Absolutely nothing to do with the pope. Everything to do with assuming a role that belongs soley to Jesus has been conferred upon yourself. I was under the impression that He alone would be our judge, and decide who goes to heaven and...
