@carvajalez_1340 @a10205342 Thats not the prophecy. Theres 10 toes on 2 feet mixed with iron & clay that are unaccounted for. Rome mixed with barbarian nations to mold them into the new Romans. The west chose Franks,East chose Russians. Christ didn't obliterate Babylon in the 1st coming, He will in the 2nd

@BBQMichae1 @a10205342 Rome was purified and Christianized, just as Daniel prophecized.

カトリックになって良かったと思う。寛容で懐が広い。マリア様もいて下さるし、脊梁な他の宗教とは大違い

@carvajalez_1340 @a10205342 Dont skip the roman part. Thats what ties you to Babylon after-all

@BBQMichae1 @a10205342 The Catholic Church is the center of the History of the Universe.

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom The acting portion is the fruit of that faith. That fruit cannot exceed its root or itd be vain, like a watermelon thats 90% skin & 10% red (idk the name). Itd still be fruit nonetheless but its impossible for a root grounded on the good soil of Jesus Christ to not have fruit

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Sorry, how do you understand Matthew 7:21-23? Also, Luke 6:46-47: "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? Everyone who... hears my words and acts on them... he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock..."

Unless you’re Eastern Orthodox. Vatican II affirms they’re going to heaven. But if you’re Protestant, no go. According to the Council of Trent’s sixth session, Canon 9, if you believe you are saved by grace through faith and not by works, as Scripture says, you’re anathema.

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Theres a balance. Works are the fruit, faith is the root. "Hears my words and acts on them" if youre hearing His words to further act on them, your faith is coming first before youre able to act. This dodges the other "lord lord" scenario bc your faith took precedent, the acting

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Not to be rude but i dont want to stretch the convo in so many directions so fast itll get super confusing for both of us if its just scrambled

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom James 2:14: "What use is it... if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?" Faith without works can't save. It immediately precedes vv. 15-17. And earlier, v. 13: "...judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy..."

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Natural question; what is the will of the Father? John 6:40 "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the"

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom But if she did not act on her belief, she wouldn't have been justified, for she would've failed to save Joshua's spies.

@JonathanSnoddy @WWUTTcom They actually have the priests as laity but they need to be ordained. The they have the high priest (pope) of the ordained priests over the priests. I just slap'em with the torn veil while theyre too busy trying to knit it back together to justify their system

@BBQMichae1 @WWUTTcom 1 Peter 2 5 and 9 says we're a Holy and Royal Priesthood. I have the Word of God and the Holy Spirit for witnesses - who do you have? The pope?

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom (Id quote but its too long) She already believed prior to helping them, thats clear but her justification to God wasnt in helping them. Just as Abraham it was the moment she believed, her helping was the fruit of her belief—not the determining factor of her relation to God

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Hebrews wasn't written either by Paul or James... I don't believe it's entirely relevant here. How do you understand Joshua 2:9-11?

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom That not only shows your faith isnt a self centered faith but the fruits of your faith as someone making an impact. This doesnt justify the person to God but it does to the person that was hungry

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Of course it is, I do not deny it when formulated this way. But I also believe James 2 stands in flat opposition to Romans 4:2-5 and Ephesians 2:8-9.

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom I wouldnt stop at it being a contradiction. Look at its use case he describes it as. The initial verses speak of what it profits if a person sees someone hungry & doesnt feed them. A dead faith is letting them starve but praying VS. a living faith is getting them some food.

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Rahab: Hebrews 11:31 "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient." Joshua 2:9-11 "I know that the Lord has given you this land...When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed..."

@BBQMichae1 @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Where's the part about "so others can see"? E.g.: "In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?" - the text treats Rahab's justification in objective sense, not in subjective one.

@Aserbtt @LProof777 @WWUTTcom Yet if we go to genesis 15 Abraham was justified by believing God 7 chapters before he went to sacrifice his son issac. Romans 4:3 confirms this, James 2 is the fruit—whole chapter is about so others can see, not so God can see

@LProof777 @WWUTTcom It depends on which "the Gospel" you mean. If the council anathematized the Pauline "by grace through faith, not of works lest one boasts" gospel, then I'm fine with it. James 2:20-26: "was not Abraham justified by works? a man is justified by works and not by faith alone."

@JonathanSnoddy @WWUTTcom [peters the rock christ established his church on & he has the keys to bind & loose, & we're the true church bc apostolic succession. Let me guess he said that in the bible who gave you the bible😉, how can you perform the vital sacraments w/o an ordained priest😉]—the monopoly

@WWUTTcom Well Jesus said to follow him, not catholics or eastern orthodox so theres that.

@WWUTTcom Is the "anathema" a separation from their communion/their church (etc.) or are they essentially saying [your access to God grace was denied]/[you're damned]?

@BattleSquire90 @MrLemBonNik Nurgle would be proud

@MrLemBonNik Two cancers combine into being turbo cancer.

Jedi vs Space Marines is stupid, dumb, and I have seen it hundred times before. Jedi and Space Marines teaming up to take on Chaos aligned Sith, now that's what I want to see.

@TheSire4 @SpiritofourLord @JayDyer @GodLogic_GL This guy is replacing you

@SpiritofourLord @JayDyer @GodLogic_GL Jays being consistent

This coward, @JayDyer, instantly blocked me for defending @GodLogic_GL. I wouldn’t trust him at all. He’s trying to gatekeep the faith and create stumbling blocks for Christians.

Gatekeeping the one true Church sounds pious until you realize it’s just modern Pharisees blocking access to Christ while patting themselves on the back. The Apostles preached the Gospel openly to pagans, heretics, and Jews alike (Acts 17); they didn’t build an online fortress and block anyone who questions their bishop’s club. If Orthodoxy is the fullness of truth, prove it in open debate instead of demanding submission or hitting ‘block.’ Christ didn’t found a paywalled monastery for influencers. He founded a Church for the lost, not the already-convinced.

@somemothers_son @lefrizee Again the ruling was not wrong but the application of the ruling is equivalent to the truth being a blade. In the hands of a vigilante it maims in the hands of a surgeon its delicate. Paul was not dunking allegations he gave specific cause & effect & this never comes alone

@BBQMichae1 @lefrizee Yes, they are wrong because of what they say about Job and God. No issue with how or when they said it is ever brought up, which is what you claimed the problem was. I'm not going to continue this.

“My grandma just died can you please do a special homily?” “Yeah how about one where I tell you to stop being a whore”
