It's not a sin to be wrong, but be wrong humbly!

There are many people who agree with him on the abbusive husband thing. I am not one of them. They say marriage is a commitment for life, that no matter what happens unless it is adultory you should stay together. This is what is said in the Bible. The way I see it why would you have to stay with a maniac husband/wife if you married them not knowing about this side? My point is I wouldn't label someone unsourcefull because they say something you don't agree with. There are many places that I get my info from who say things I don't totally agree with.

Read further through his stuff. This is not about still sinning after salvation because we are all human and fall. His theology is that one does not even have to be willing to turn away from sin at all in order to be saved. That willingness to turn your life over to Christ constitutes a 'work'.

Satan has succeeded in corrupting the simplicity of the Gospel in many of today’s religious circles. There is a popular teaching nowadays (aka Lordship Salvation) that requires lost sinners to be willing to turn from their sins as a prerequisite to salvation. Nothing could be further from the truth of God’s Word. How can anything be a “gift” if one must be willing to do anything to get it?

Ray Comfort is a heretic! He clearly states... "You must turn away from sin" to be saved. Say what you will... anyone who teaches that a lost sinner MUST forsake their sins to be saved is a LIAR. Romans 4:5 couldn't be any clearer on this matter... "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." It is sad that the simplicity of salvation, i.e., the Gospel, has been perverted in so many ways today. It is a shame that someone like Ray Comfort, who is a dynamic and charming speaker, and a nice guy, is preaching a false gospel to the masses. Perhaps Mr. Comfort does it ignorantly; but nevertheless, he is teaching works salvation.
There is absolutely nothing in the Word of God which requires a person to "surrender your life to Jesus Christ" to be saved. It is a damnable heresy to require people to make a commitment to Christ to be saved. Jesus DIDN'T ask us to surrender our life to Him to be saved; He asked us to BELIEVE on Him (John 3:16).

Ok Sorry, I should have researched this guy further, but I saw the article that I agreed with and thought it would fit for this discussion. I still don't agree with the catholic view of praying to Mary, or anyone other than God. This is my official close I will no longer post in this thread.

Mr. Stewart will tell you that it's not Biblical to divorce even in the case of adultery.

I am thankful that you are not one of those who thinks this way. And while I understand that people can honestly disagree, and you might choose to utilize someone else's thoughts on one topic and say you disagree with them on another, in my view because of the nature of his opinions on certain topics, leveraging his work is damaging to any point you're trying to make. I'm sure I could pick out several 'characters' throughout time that I could find agreement with on certain topics, but would never want to align myself with them on any topic because of the nature of who they are and what they profess to believe in other areas that I would find to be unacceptable. Just my two cents.

All things work for the good of those that love God...even a cheese sandwich with Jesus picture in it or rust and water stains, the key is in the eye of the beholder and the strength of their faith.

Jesus is the authority brother and Hes found in all things to those who have strong faith.

I'm not saying Jesus is in those signs necessarily, just saying He could be.

I was thinking along the lines of a deception from the devil, perhaps. Does Matthew 24:23-24 apply here? What do you think, addo?
Apparitions may be false....
BUT if they are in line with the Church teaches, they are more likely not false.
Coming with a new gospel would be deceptive one.
If an angel come with a different gospel, they are anathema.

Church teachings are historical, so the Church knows which is false. Her magisterium does not change like the wind...
so if something is different, or the seerer seems otherwise apathetic to the obedience of the Church...and other factors - it is with that they are determined.

That apparition caused Muslims to convert.
To what?

Apparitions don't convict people the Holy Spirit does...

Just another case of usurping glory due God alone.
