@JonahDispatch He also said “I am the way the truth and the life and no one cometh to the father except by me”. John 14:6
He also said if you have seen Him you have seen the father. John 14:9
@CatholicDrip___ I would agree if your misrepresentation of church history and Protestantism was true. The sacramental approach to salvation did not exist through most of church history. Papal infallibility started in the 1800’s. The early church had no Pope. They had ecumenical councils. /1
@MikeWingerii I go to Dallas Theological Seminary. Dispensationalists do not believe in more than one way of salvation. This is a long running slur that has no support.
@ESFRAN_VICO@TomorrowsWar The Catholic church with its sacramental religion did not exist until 1200AD.
If beliefs define a church then we have had numerous Catholic churches. The churches doctrine in 400 A.D. is not the churches doctrine today.
@ESFRAN_VICO@TomorrowsWar No. People that call themselves apostles. If protestants then we call them kooks. The Apostles all died and there are no more. Unless you broad the word’s meaning and it includes missionary and then it would be okay. We both know with regards to the Pope that is not the claim.
@TexasPreacher You probably have problems with Ireneaus as well. That you think the plain reading of scripture is “problematic” is problematic. No way is Amillennialism the way forward. The nation of Israel shall get her Kingdom or you’ve turned God into a liar.
@DF_UniatePapist Sins have always been equally damning for a lost person. So judicially they are equal. They have never been the same in terms of harm to others. Lying to someone is not as bad as murdering them. Both crimes the are identically in that they send a sinner to Hell.
Look, I think we have a lot to learn and appreciate about the ancients. But this genuflecting to Ancient Rome — an empire that loved foreign wars more than any “neocon” ever will, considered slavery central to their way of life and economy, and persecuted Christians (you can look it up) — is sometimes too much to take from self-proclaimed Christian moralists.
@MrCasey62 If you think the gospel wasn’t changed for 1500 years and sacramentalism from the 1200’s is that teaching then you need to study history again.
@dragodimitrov I’m not sure how you’re using psychological event. When some sincerely puts their faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation from sin they are saved forever. Key emphasis on sincerely. Obviously for it to be sincere they have to believe they are a sinner and wrong before God.
@MarkGrote In the original Greek, it comes across more as one woman man. You are not a player. If you have a woman you are faithful to her. Being single is fine.
