    Ukraine Crisis

    What did invading Ukraine and gassing Syrians "make right"?

    A little comedy break....

    As I have been saying...(since I got off of dope)..."Dope is for dopes". I hope her time away from it will show her she doesn't need it anymore. I mean, if one can survive Russian jail without it, they certainly can handle the life of a millionaire basketball player without it.

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    I'm not really sure of what you mean? How can one brag about the arrogance of Jesus? At most, I can only thank Him for standing up to the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees. You know, "Be angry and sin not". How can one know, or measure, how much Paul, or anyone else loves God. We both love God...

    Ukraine Crisis

    I'm sure that by now the Ukrainians know the use of a hospital would be of no use as a defensive tactic, as the Russians are in the habit of making them prime targets. What does Amnesty International have to say about the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Or about their use of poison gas in Syria...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    God will save me on the day of judgement because I believed Him and obey Him. If I don't keep believing and obeying Him, I will not be saved. Will anyone who does not believe and obey Him be saved? No.

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    It is simple adherence to the word of God, enabled by the gift of the Holy Ghost in a man born of God's seed. Jesus was indeed "arrogant" when it was called for. If by "wrong" you mean like the time a few weeks ago when I dropped an entire turkey pot pie on the floor, I am among them. But if...

    The Holy Spirit and Salvation !

    OK...Christ died for our sins 2000 years ago, and everyone that submits to God thereafter will be regenerated by their "immersion" into that death. Thanks be to God, who is a Spirit.

    The Holy Spirit and Salvation !

    Sure did, thanks. You drew a time line like the cop shows on TV do, in order to show the second-by-second actions of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Frankly speaking, it could be parsed in micro-seconds. For me and mine, it all happened in a single "moment".

    The Holy Spirit and Salvation !

    My purification and regeneration happened simultaneously. I was purified, and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life at my water baptism into Christ and into His death and burial. "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by...

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    It is the difference between love and hate. Jesus said no man can serve two masters, and that they will love the one and hate the other. If we choose to serve sin, (John 8:32-34), it shows we hate God. It is written..."No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the...

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    You did in post #60. Why wait till after you are dead to become pure, when Jesus' sanctifying blood is available now? It isn't of God if it isn't pure enough after its sanctification by the blood of Christ. Your POV is that purgatory can do what Jesus' blood couldn't do. I disagree.

    You should have added a comma to turn a wish into an unproven accusation.

    A Weak Leader Invites Aggression: North Korea

    "I" let them? There must be some misunderstanding. My "Let them..." was akin to Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake". Disdainfully and mockingly opined. I suppose this is just another incidence of "speaking face to face is better than writing letters to one another".

    A Weak Leader Invites Aggression: North Korea

    Don't stand in their way or do anything to antagonize them. The only result will be a waste of their gas...and money.

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    Straw man argument, as I am perfectly sinless. My process of salvation was concluded at my reception of the gift of the Holy Ghost, as Peter outlined in Acts 2:38. Now I keep on the narrow path with the best of my God's gracefully given ability. I see nothing dangerous in obedience to God. My...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    OK, let me rephrase it. I do know they were one of the first to split from the original church. They won't sin if the walk in the Spirit instead of in the flesh. It is written..."This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (Gal 5:16) It is a promise...

    Doctrine of Unconditional Election

    That is correct. Like Peter said..."For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" (1 Peter 4:17) Judgement will begin with us. If we were already "saved" what would be the point of...
