colossi3: You are Protestant? Somehow I got the impression you consider yourself Catholic. I'm referring to the post in which you asked if other denominations, 'such as us Catholics', Lutherans etc believe in the three major creeds. Maybe a comma was in a wrong place: should've been placed...

colossi3: Reliant on "faith working by love". Gal 2 "It is the work of God that you [we] believe = God-given faith. God is love= His love - not ours. So again: God is able to finish the work He begins in us in baptism . I Cor 13, esp. the first few werses, show how faith and hope...

colossi3: You ask 'why do we have to do it.?' First of all Shelb5, the command is not to 'get' baptized but to 'be' baptized. If you will ponder this, may God give you grace to see the huge difference here. The command was given to the adnministrators to baptize, ie administer baptism...

colossi3: Are you truly discussing the truths of God's word or - I hate to ask this, prozelytizing? I have very good reason to ask you this. If you had even lightly considered the many replies you have receivedto this question, (In fact, how many times in your religious life, have you...

colossi3: To apply the above truth, let me say this: If we confess our sins believing that the blood of Jesus Christ was shed for us, He is faithful and just and forgives our sins. 'Believing' is the key word. (It seems that capitalizing for emphasis is not acceptable to some sensitive souls...

colossi3: "Confess your sins one to another, and the blood of Jesus Christ shall cleanse you of all unrighteousness." I John 1 Consider that our old man is corrupt, and as a tst of faith, we have to carry him on our backs till Christ delivers us from even that. Until then, the just shall...

colossi3: Truth has such a sweet sound! Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute sin. Ro 4

colossi3: Let's keep in mind what Jesus taught on the subject; "if a man as much as looks at a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Or fornication if he is single. Besides, we all differ hugely as to our temptations: We are not all alike concerning...

colossi3: Afflictions work for us, not against us. It's true; God draws and teaches us through them. "Though He was a Son yet He learned obedience by the things which he suffered." Heb 4

colossi3: Ap. Paul did a lot of preaching - traveling as well, yet he kept right on making tents for his own support - and to support others. Another thing, a minister of the Gospel ought not be a novice - God does no send out people who don't know the difference between outward and inner...

colossi3: "The hour will come and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth." Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; NO...

colossi3: "Law came by Moses, grace and truth by Jesus CHrist." "What the law says, it says to them who are under the law." "But you are not under the law but under grace, if so be that the spirit of Jesus Christ abides in you." Those who are under the law are still in their sins, "for by...

colossi: Amen. Love God, Love your neighbor. Love working by faith fulfills the law. Gal 2

colossi3: Billy Graham had a lot of integrity - never misused the funds; he only lived well. He lost many of his Protetant supporters when he came away from an interview with the current pope and claimed that the pope is a reborn Christian. Money was not the siren's song that satan used in...

colossi3: I used to love watching Billy Graham on TV. Now 3 decades later I can't picture Jesus the Christ on TV; Nor should any of us: Love not the world - TV is a part of the world as to the way it interprets living faith.

colossi3: A sound post. We may even say that riches are sometimes liberal knowledge of , good works etc; in any case salvation is of nothing we do or offer. Purgatory is not even mentioned in the bible. It's adding man's precepts to the word of God.

colossi3: If we can see the word of God as being the same today, yesterday and forever, then what the word meant in the beginning, it means the same today. The word is never dependent on culture of man. Neither can the word always and only be understood/applied literally. I really believe...

colossi3: According to the Scrptures, the RCC should avoid even the appearance of evil; instead - and this is the truth and no lie, on every board where the RCCs post, 99% of their posts give the appearance that they do indeed worship Mary, kneel to her, pray to her; I have even seen a Marian...

ps: Rev 19: 9) And he said to me, 'Write: Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb'. And he said to me, 'These are the true sayings of God.' 10) And I fell at his feet to worship him, and he said to me: 'See that you do not do that; I am your fellowservant and of...
