The other one's getting a little long in the tooth and otherwise. https://theologyonline.com/threads/answering-old-threads-thread.58428/ This is a good old thread: I don't disagree with anything Lon says here, but it's important to note that demons don't only want us to sin, in fact, they're...

Have you two ever thought about how Satan the Evil One had access to Eve's mind even before she or Adam ever actually, objectively sinned? That means God's perfect creation for man, was a World with demons. How does this square with God being just, and with God not being the author of all sin...

It's interesting, right? Priests. It doesn't matter which deity they serve, priests are doing two things for people, they are mediating between the people and the deity, and they are offering sacrifices on altars to that deity (on behalf of the people). Even though we know almost nothing...

Genesis 14 (18) And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) John 6 (55) For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Does verse 26 imply that the Corinthians should take Communion as much as possible? (18) Consider the people of...

It means, this is very serious; we should take this seriously.

Meaning, they actually were Catholics to begin with (which meant, in the 13th century, they were Christians, and not Eastern Orthodox (no other options, in the 13th century). Explains the hatred. Do you know why it was particularly the stone masons? Why not some other guild? The pope just...

Wow. Now there's anti-Catholic, and then there's the Freemasons lol. I had no idea, about Copeland. Most if not all public intellectual Protestant pastors are anti-Catholic, so that part of his shtick wouldn't have caught my attention with Copeland, but Freemasons have a history of warring...

The Greek word there is where we get the word "Eucharist," which is what Catholics (and Orthodoxy) call the Lord's Supper or Communion. It means giving thanks, or thanksgiving. That word "participation" can also be rendered "Communion." Amen. Along with "Alleluia" and "Hosanna," these are...

Our Lord spent time with whores. Doesn't mean He was pro-prostitution.

Semi-Pelagianism is distinguished from Pelagianism which believes man does not need God or His grace at all to repent, believe and convert.

That's what a Calvinist would say. Catholics (and Arminians, and semi-Pelagians) would say both, the Holy Spirit (His grace being equally distributed to all) and the man's free choice.

You said, "justification does not rely on what we do, but on what Jesus did for us." So what was the difference between St. Dismas (the good thief) and the other guy then? You're thought there is apparently only partial. That was my point.

The particularly interesting part for me was the 1980 Mt. St. Helens' eruption's newly formed rocks which radiometrically dated to millions of years ago, even though they had clearly just been made during that eruption.

Here is a video of former President Obama where he sounds like Gary K (to nobody's surprise). "Nobody's hands are clean" (about 2:00 in) ---- false. Hamas (Israel's neighbors) murdered 1200 innocent mostly Israelis (there were some American victims but we don't even talk about that). Israel...

But that's Calvinism. The other thief didn't respond in faith. Based only on the above ("Gary's post" which you quoted), the only reason St. Dismas repented and believed in Our Lord, is because Our Lord chose to impose His mercy onto Dismas, but not on the other thief. Surely the two were...
