I have yet to have a single answer. Where in scripture is the Bible alone theory? Is the basis of the leadership of the church once again based on something non-scriptual? How do Protestants determine which books of the Bible are the Bible? After reading Luke 1:48, why do you not call the...

Just a thought.... 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to...

I have been away for a while but while I was gone I was talking to many friends of mine who believed in the whole salvation on acceptance bit. This is not a thread asking opionions on OSAS but rather asking for an explanation. I don't see how it is possible to be guranteed salvation from the...

I have asked this question in another thread, however it has never been answered. If you believe in sola scriptura then please give me versus in the bible that list the books in the New Testament that are considered divine scripture. If you cannot give me those versus then you obviously...

I have only been a member of the forum for a few days and I have already noticed that catholicism takes a pretty hard beating. Earlier today I was trying to post in A topic called "Why not catholicism" I accidently hit back and lost everything that I was working on. Right after that the topic...

A topic that very vulnerable to discussion is tradition versus sola scriptura. Many Protestant religions believe that everything we need is in the bible. The first thing we have to think about is the bible itself. If you accept the bible then you are accepting traditions. The bible itself is a...

I get questioned all the time about why my belief states that I need an intermediate between myself and god (priest). I find that this is the hardest thing to explain to most non-catholic denominations. The first topic that comes up while talking about priests is confession (yeah.. the little...
