Do you see the word “reject” in my post?? Your words, not mine. I don’t have time to argue over “ he said, she said.” How about discussing Hebrews 7, how the old law has been changed and Hebrews 8:13 how that same law is OBSOLETE and VANISHING AWAY? Or how God “TAKES AWAY the first ( Old...

Isaiah 1:18 - “ ‘ Come now, let us REASON together’, says the Lord.” Bible discussion is good. I believe we all grow and learn from these studies—if we are discussing scripture and not only opinions. Your words, not mine. If you are going to represent me, please represent me honestly and...

I have been discussing SCRIPTURE. Would you like to discuss the church of Christ? Since you are not a member, I would be glad to introduce it to you.

I don’t know about you, but I have been discussing SCRIPTURE. But if you woujd like to discuss the church if Christ, I would love the opportunity to introduce you to it.

Exactly. And we have scripture that supports your point. Acts 16:30, the jailer asked “what must I do to be saved?”. In verse 31 they told him to believe, in verse 32 they taught him the gospel, in verse 33 he showed fruits of “repentance” ( washed their stripes) and was “baptized”. In verse...

Perhaps the reason John Calvin is credited as being the “originator” of the faith only doctrine” is because he was the one who made it a “church“doctrine” (according to my sources). Perhaps there were others who believed it but John Calvin write a book about it and it became “doctrine.” I’m...

I can make the same argument but even stronger for baptism. Jesus plainly says that faith plus baptism saves us. Mk. 16:16. So every time a scripture on faith is used, we KNOW baptism is included. “IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE STATED because scripture does teach faith + baptism saves.” And I have...

I don’t know anything about what “Cambellism” believes. Mr. Ross’s opinion is just as good or bad as anyone else’s, I suppose. You know what they say about “opinions”? They are like belly buttons; everybody has one.

In all of your scriptures that you have cited on “faith”, not one of them says faith “ONLY” or “faith “ ALONE”. You are beating a dead horse. You and I are not in disagreement over whether or not faith saves us. We disagree on whether faith “ONLY” saves us. That means you must show, quote or...

I did a Google search to find out if I was wrong assigning faith-only to John Calvin. You seem to be so upset about it that I thought I better check. So I typed in the question: Did John Calvin originate the doctrine of faith-only? Here’s what I got. “John Calvin a key figure in the...

No, a Psalm set to music does not mean with instruments but musical notation like “sheet music.”” It’s written with musical notes so you can sing a “tune.” The Psalms are one kind of a song, HYMNS are another kind of song, and spiritual songs are any song within a spiritual context. They are...

I’m sure you would like to make a distinction of all different kinds of “faith only” in order to save your Calvinistic doctrine, but the Bible makes no such distinction. “Faith only” as named in the book of James is the same as the demons faith and any other faith that believes you are saved...

Musical instruments when used with care, can enhance the singing of praise to the Lord. That was seen by the Christian church that split from the church of Christ. Musical instruments were obviously considered a help to praise in the Old Testament. It seems strange to say that something God...

Your opinion of the church of Christ or its members is of little consequence and of no importance whatsoever. It’s only God’s opinion that matters. In that, we are doing quite well. It’s obvious that you can’t defend your position with “Bible” so resorting to name calling and criticism is no...

223505"] Galatians 5:4 and 6b ~ You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. All that matters is faith, expressed through love. If you read verses 1-4 you will see that Paul is talking about the law that contains...

Written to and about the Jews under the Old Testament. This not only does not apply to “Christians” but it was written BEFORE the church of Christ was in existence; even before Christ was born into the world. Are you a Jew? No? Then this is not meant for you and it certainly is not...

“you are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” Matthew 22:29.

Not the “description” which can be subjective, but the word. If By”rules” you mean COMMANDMENTS, ( I don’t believe they are called “rules” by God), then I hope I am guilty. or did you not know that “…keeping the commandments of God is what matters.” 1 Cor. 7:19. The conclusion of the whole...

Is the word “legalist” in the Bible; or is that a word used by men? People often revert to “name calling” when they can’t refute Bible teaching. No problem. I’ve been called worse. 😂
