BYS, I have read the articles from your harlot church. The very first one, article 1030, is unscriptural, and contradictory. '...still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation, but after death they undergo purification...' How can you be 'partly pure', and yet be on your way to heaven? After death, you either go to be with the Lord or you are cast into outer darkness, there is no holding tank. "I desire to depart and be with Christ" Phil. 1:23
Art. 1030 implies that Christ didn't quite do the job, nor did the Holy Spirit, or the word of God-"Sanctify them by truth, your word is truth" John 17:17 "Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them" Hebrews 7:25 |

Purgatory was never taught by the early church fathers, and it is not taught in God's word. It is, as catechism 1031 says, a 'tradition'. In Luke 16, the rich man died and went to hell. He prayed to Father Abraham, but Abraham told him his fate was sealed, it could NOT be changed.
There are several rewards of crown that can be earned for the work of the Christian life; a Christian can loose his reward but still be saved,so as by fire {like jumping through a fiery hoop and scorching your coattails as you barely make it through}. This is not a purifying purgatory to see whether you make it, no where in scripture is purgatory found, or taught by God. If, as RCC believes, the Spirit of God dwells within their followers, and they go to hell, then the Holy Spirit would have to go along as well, because God promised, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" =Hebrews 13:5b |

cnystrom- I do not decide what is sin, God does. In Genesis 2:24, GOD says,"Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh". Notice the singular use of 'man', 'wife', and 'one flesh'. It doesn't say, 'men', 'wives', or 'many flesh'.
O.P., Walt,- God bless you for your excellent posts which contain His truth. |

GG. - Our battle is spiritual, not flesh against flesh, or denomination. The spirit that feeds RCC teaching is not that of God, for theirs is a salvation of works. They have no assurance of salvation, idolatry is promoted, and rituals are performed; all of which contradict God's word. Wrong teaching will always be corrected by those you label as fundi's. In actuality, we are blood bought, born of the Spirit children of God defending His truth. The baptism that is required is that of the Holy Spirit {Acts 19:2}, after the heart has been broken over sin, bankrupt, poor in spirit. If you aren't changing from the inside out, all the head knowledge in the world will not save you. Your heart remains calloused. "My son, give me your HEART, and let your eyes observe my ways"-Proverbs 23:26 |

John Y.- water baptism is not the saving factor in salvation. You must repent, be born again, and believe. God baptizes with the Holy Spirit, then you bear fruit. A changed heart and mind go hand in hand in the new birth. It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that is needed, which comes with repenting of sin,and being born again. I have read some of your previous posts, and I am puzzled as to why you would sit under the false teaching of the RCC, yet claim to be saved. How do you expect to be spiritually 'fed' by a priest that spews out man-made propaganda? If you want to grow in Christ, you cannot defend teaching that contradicts His. This isn't about Prots vs. RCC, this is about loving the Lord our God with All our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and following and serving Him. You seem to be stuck in the 'us vs them' mode that RCC folk throw out repeatedly. We must defend Christ, and His word, not a church. I pray Christ will make this clear to you. |

We certainly do not have to patronize this fast food chain, this is a growing trend of big corporations that tolerate and support homosexuality. However, let's not forget this, "No one, after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light"-Luke 8:16
We cannot hibernate in our homes, we must proclaim the truth to a very dark world. We have work to do, and with wickedness increasing everywhere, it's apparent time is short. Let's not take on a 'holier than thou' attitude; this is a call to equip ourselves with our most effective weapon, the sword of the Spirit, the word of God. View this as an opportunity to proclaim God's truth, as the Spirit leads, and not as a reason to barricade ourselves in our homes. If we hold to that view, very soon we will not be able to leave for any reason. Poke some holes in the darkness, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear, fear Him, who, after killing the body, has power to throw you into hell"-Luke 12:4 |

I would say Mr. Bush is a hypocrite, he professed Christ, but there is no fruit. Live and learn. That's why we should not make the same mistake again with Obama, or Clinton,or McCain, none of these candidates are born again believers...this election requires much prayer; not compromise, but much prayer. We cannot solve the world's problems, and to continue to debate racism is not productive. Let's live according to God's word, and not quarrel over issues that have always been with us and always will be, until Christ returns. We all know true Christians are hated, but we understand the nature of that hate. This world in its present form is passing away, we need to focus on Christ, living holy lives, proclaiming God's truth, and not being afraid to stand firm in it. |
