Wrong. Martin Luther took his axe to the Scriptures and cut the deuterocanonical books out. He cut other parts he didn’t like and added the word alone to the book of James. Check it out.

You're wrong. Why don't YOU check it out:

Luther and the Canon

Premillennialism is a message of profound significance for believers today and one that pastors must proclaim. I say this because this message: Glorifies the Lord as a promise-keeper to both Israel and to us as New Testament saints. Reassures believers of their hope in these perilous times. Provides a much-needed counter to the anti-Semitic mindset of our day.

I wonder what the premillennial-denialists think about all the words of the prophets and Jesus concerning it? Did they just say it all in jest? Are they all just allegorical? If allegory, then where do you ever draw the line between what is true prophecy and allegory? How can anyone know what is to come or be able to "watch and pray"? How can the promises of Almighty God be trusted if no one knows what His promises really are?

I will trust in what God has said and rest in His precious promises because He has told us things before they happen so that when they DO happen, we will know He is the TRUE God. He doesn't play games!

She immediately changed to “Trump says he likes to grab women by the...” Biden is a horrible person, as is anyone who supports him.

Sad how many people just parrot the lies the media tells them. Trump DIDN'T say "he likes to grab women by the...", he said some women will LET you grab them by the.... And that is absolutely true especially for attractive, wealthy men. Heck...rich men don't even have to be good looking! On the other hand...pedo-joe actually DID grab a woman by the...and proceeded to violate her (Tara Reade) against her consent and nothing happened to him even though the assault was reported.

It's disgusting what some people get away with but I know the Judge of all the earth will deal justly with ALL.

Amen!

Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Gen. 18:25)

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He. (Duet. 32:4)

Ravi brings perspective to the Satanic lie of OSAS. There is no better modern example of a man who preached salvation at grace, then lived a life of sin, still expecting to be welcomed into heaven with open arms. God hates the doctrine and deeds of the Nicolaitans. It should be a lesson to all Christians.

No, he doesn't because your "perspective" is the assumption that you can know another man's heart when you have NEVER known or even met the man! You are only basing it upon rumors or after-the-fact testimony of women who may or may not have even known or met the man. You deceitfully toss him out whenever the topic of salvation by grace apart from works comes up. Show us where Ravi ever preached salvation was by grace and then it was fine to live a life of sin and we would be welcomed into heaven with open arms.

The reason you keep bringing him up is you can't stand the truth that we cannot earn, merit or deserve heaven and God saves us solely by His unearned, unmerited, undeserved grace and then seals us with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption. You twist this awesome gift of grace into a perverse idea that it means God winks at sin instead of disciplining us as His children and is constantly conforming us into the image of Christ.

This has been explained to you dozens of times yet you get amnesia at every chance in order to condemn those who don't follow your Seventh Day Adventist cult. Do you even realize how much in common you have with the RadTrad Catholics here? Any replies I post are for the benefit of those who may be reading the thread. You may be past hope but the Holy Spirit can work miracles.

Imagine the hubris of setting oneself up to be the substitute judge and jury for Almighty God and presuming to know another’s heart!

>>Tell us. Since you’re so sure Catholicism has the answer, then tell everyone.>>

Outside the Catholic Church, there is no salvation.

Says the Holy Bible or Jesus NOWHERE! Just because your org declares it, doesn't make it the TRUTH. Christ's church is His body, His called-assembly (ekklesia) which contains all those who have placed their trust in the shed blood of Christ to redeem them. It's in God's hands how He will judge those who trust in their own righteousness or who think they will merit or deserve to go to heaven by their works. Hope that's not you Ebb!

Ironical that your reply to Shadow Ace's, "All you done is act totally anti-Christian and spewing hate.", was "What hate? Please be specific." came right after this one. It's terribly hateful to condemn to hell anyone who is outside your religion. You'll even condemn those in the Roman Catholic church if they don't toe the same dogmatic line as you. GOD judges the heart - NOT you!

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. (I Cor. 1:18-25)

Is your memory failing like Biden’s or do you really think you can toss out the same disproven comments (lies) over and over and someone might just buy it this time?

Phil...dude...you really need to get over your hang up with Ravi!

He even tries to argue like Satan would but fails miserably!

Still dodging the questions, I see. Do you wake up thinking of ways to condemn non-Roman Catholics in order to exalt your views and stir up controversy on FR? You even attack RCs that aren't "Traditional"! What a sad, lonely life you must have. I'll continue to pray for your heart to be opened to the truth of the Gospel.

But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these! They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions, who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith. But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone. (II Timothy 3:1-9)

Yes...in more ways than that one! It’s not too hard to see the Pope as the False Prophet of the end times.

AMEN!

Martin Luther is in Hell according to St Padre Pio.

Who cares what some stigmatic mystic says? How do you know he is even in Heaven? Have you forgotten you REFUSED to affirm his Luther declaration in past conversations?!

My eternal security is based upon the promises of my Savior Jesus Christ and not false assurances from a manmade organization that relies more upon its proclaimed "saints" than the very word of God.

“Do penance?” Where in the New Testament do you find that?

They find it by falsely interpreting the word "repent".

David Martin will have to answer to the Lord for his blatant lies about Martin Luther and the TRUE Christian faith!

I was wondering how long you could go before starting up your religion Freeper wars.

There is a wisdom that comes from a deeper place than just surface knowledge. It begins with the fear/reverence of the Lord knowing that no other can possibly love us more nor have a greater desire for us to know Him.

It isn’t just reading about it or hearing others talk about it — it is actually LIVING it. There are no shortcuts.

RIP brother in Christ. We will all one day behold the face of our Savior and rejoice forevermore in His presence.

The application for us from all this is clear: the Lord wants us to realize that the end of every trial contains much satisfaction and joy because we are building up our future capacity to glorify Him. At the same time, we are comprehending more and more about the value of persevering through all sorts of pain and tribulation (see Rev. 2:10).

And I would contend that our capacity to glorify Him - in spite of our trials - is also in this life, as well. The testimony of our faith enduring through trials and tribulations right here, right now, is so that the world witnesses its endurance and reality to the glory of God.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith— more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy, now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (I Peter 1:6-9)

Joe Biden showed his bigoted side on April 23 when he spoke in Tampa, Florida about the glory of abortion. It wasn’t abortion, per se, that got him going—it was those whom he identified as pro-life that set him off.

And what Biden and his cohorts consistently ignore -- to their detriment -- is that Almighty God is NOT on his side over this. Biden may claim to be a "devout" Catholic but his actions consistently prove is that it is all talk. God sees the heart!

My prayers for the peace that passes all understanding to guard your hearts and minds as you process this loss of your mother. My own mom went through this last year and I praise the Lord that I was able to be with her in her hospice room as she went with the angels to meet the Lord. We “sorrow not as others who have no hope”, but look forward to the blessed reunion with our loved ones in eternity with our Savior and Redeemer. How I long for that day!
