The actual death toll now stands at over 9,000 people, that number is expected to rise. This is terrible, along with the recent cyclone, and tornadoes, maybe it's time we quit arguing over who has the best bible translation, who has the proper interpretation of scripture, who has the most 'godly' wisdom, etc., and get out and warn people to repent, for the wrath of God is being poured out on a rebellious world. We are all partly to blame, because we waste time here debating endlessly over trivial matters, and within a matter of minutes, 9,000 lives are lost in the blink of an eye. We are called to proclaim the gospel of salvation, and perhaps we all started to do just that {I am speaking to myself just as loudly as I am speaking to all who post here}. May God have mercy on us. |

God can use the KJV, the new KJV, NASB, ESV, Geneva, etc., to change the hearts of those whom He saves. Most born again believers use several different translations, including my pastor, to study from. For anyone to insist on one specific translation and accuse those who differ as being deceived is just not biblical. We all grow in Christ according to God's word, regardless of translation, if we truly belong to Him. Let's remember to be careful with our words, not accusing the brethren falsely. We must bear in mind the need for humility, choosing our words carefully so we do not sin against God or offend our brothers\sisters in Christ. |

GG- I was reading from 2 Timothy 2:23, and you came to mind, 'But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife'. You have been given the truth, the gospel of salvation based solely on God's word, yet you cling to sacred tradition. You cannot be saved unless God grants it, He must draw you to Christ {John 6:44}. You must repent and receive Christ {John 1:12}, which means you acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, submitting to His authority and take instructions from Him through His word {'man shall not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord' Deut. 8:3}. You must be born again, God gives a new heart and spirit to all who are {Ezekiel 11:19}. The evidence of the new birth is a changed life, from the inside out. The heart is humbled, and beats solely for Christ; if the heart is unchanged, then no salvation has taken place. Words, actions, and deeds are evidence of this powerful new birth Almighty God grants. I pray God will save you according to His word, His way-- not based on works, but His amazing grace. Time is not on the lost souls' side. |

GG- idol worship can be anything you put first over God, for instance, materialism, money, drugs, family, church doctrine, dead people, etc. Idol worship is not limited to inanimate objects.
Silly prots only repeat what you RCC'rs say when you greet your pope, you address him as 'holy father'. Again, how do you justify going against the very command of Christ not to call anyone on earth 'father'? If your pope were truly born of God, he would humbly denounce such a title and demand all to worship God...notice, I said IF. My input on where followers of false doctrine spend eternity is based on truth, the holy bible ALONE. May God have mercy on you, humble you and draw you to His Son, and grant you the new birth. |

gg- the fact that the pope is addressed as 'holy father' is proof he desires worship. Jesus warned against calling anyone on earth 'father', only Almighty God is worthy to be called Holy Father. Once again, the RCC ignores the commands in God's word and deems it necessary to set up idol worship in the vatican, then proceeds to pray to a mortal woman, a maidservant saved by God's grace, forgetting the commandment, "You shall have no other gods before me", "For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God". How do you get around that? Just overlook it, and let church 'tradition' take the place of the authoritative word of God! How terrifying it will be for this harlot of a church, the RCC,and all who love her, on the day of judgment. |

Lance, you would be better off sticking to RCC websites, you will not be able to lead astray those here whom Christ holds in His hand. No blood bought born again believer will come over to your side, trading the precious blood of Christ and the saving grace of Almighty God for apostasy, deception, rituals, make believe sacred tradition, idolatry, salvation by works...after all, salvation is a 'gift'...if you've ever received a gift, you should know, it is free, no hocus pocus necessary. May God have mercy on you, and open your blind eyes and deaf ears, humbling you and granting you eternal life, according to His word alone. |

Lance, if you do not follow the bible from Genesis to Revelation, if you see church doctrine as having authority over God's word, then you are still in your sins. No one can come to Christ unless the Father draws him {John 6:44}. Almighty God is the ONLY one who can humble a heart, open a blind eye and a deaf ear, and enable a lost sinner to see his true spiritual condition. It has to be felt in the heart, not memorized in the head and practiced through rituals and tradition. That is exactly why the RCC belief is useless, it is based on man-made teachings and traditions. There is no involvement of the heart, which is what the Lord desires, "My son, give me your heart" Proverbs 23:26. When Peter addressed the crowd in Acts 2, verse 36, 'therefore, let all Israel be assured of this, God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ'..notice verse 37, 'when the people heard this, they were CUT TO THE HEART and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'brothers, what shall we do?' The heart was broken and then ready to receive Christ. Has your heart been broken? Is there a change from the inside out? There can't be if you insist on sacred tradition and rituals that are robotic, leaving out the vital key, the human heart. |

Lance, the 'magic acts' priests do with bread and wine do NOT gain anyone entrance into heaven. As for the Lord's supper, the bible says, 'do this in REMEMBRANCE of me', not as a means of salvation, but as a reminder of the price Christ paid. Only those who are broken and contrite over sin, repent and believe in the gospel are saved. Christ paid it all, nothing needs to be added. The only baptism that is essential is the baptism of the Holy Spirit {John 1:33, water baptism is symbolic of the change taken place in the new believer's heart. The heart is the key in salvation and being born again. The man-made 'works' added by the RCC are not biblical, they are traditions man invented. "They worship me in vain, their teachings are but rules taught by men" Matt. 15:9. If what you believe is not found First and Solely in scripture alone, then your belief is useless. Your RCC ignores God's word when it goes against their belief, they allow homosexuality in the priesthood, cover it up instead of removing them, they call a mortal sinful man 'holy father' even though Christ warns to call NO ONE on earth father {Mat. 23:9}, they pray to Mary, a mortal woman, never commanded in scripture anywhere. |

John Y.- any religion that brainwashes its members, adding works as a necessity for salvation, not using God's word as the only authoritative source and means, is a cult. If you truly are saved, then your heart would be regenerated. The heart is what the Lord desires, not requirements man has made. "My son, give me your heart, let your eyes observe my ways" Proverbs 23:26. A changed heart desires to be obedient to God's word, reading it daily and being transformed by it. Traditions and rituals cannot change a heart, they can only keep the mind held hostage to the 'salvation by works' theory. Repentance means to turn from sin, it doesn't mean we continue repeating the same offenses over and over, expecting some mortal to forgive us if we confess. Since we are born sinners and in bondage to it, only a true born again believer can overcome sin, by the power of the Almighty and His word, which acts as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting away the sin as we read. Sacred tradition has no power over sin. |
