Re: The Bible Believer's Handbook of Heresies

Did Jesus ever ordain His apostles to found the cathylick church? No.
And did they? No.

(Peter for instance, never even went to Rome, as he didn't preach to gentiles.)
What they (the apostles) did found however was the true church, it's members persecuted throughout the centuries by PAGANS AND CATHYLICKS!
But that was given refuge by God here in Freehold, Iowa.
Praise God!


And yeah, in memory of Jesus.

Does THIS IS MY BODY...THIS IS MY BLOOD mean anything to you?

Does THIS IS MY BODY...THIS IS MY BLOOD mean anything to you?

They mean a lot more in context, Mary-hailer:

Luke 22:19: And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

I Corinthians 11:24-25: And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.

If the death cookie and the wine literally became the body and blood of Our Lord, you wouldn't have to do your Catholic cannibal ritual in remembrance of Him, now, would you?

Consider also the following:

Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].

Do you see that? It plainly says that Christ's body was sacrificed once, which means it probably happened even less often than the typical Romanist priest kiddy-fiddles in a week. You make it sound as though Christ's body were sacrificed three times every Sunday and once or twice on every holy day of obligation, in every papist house of blasphemy in the world.

Does

Leviticus 3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

Mean anything to you?

What about

Leviticus 7:27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Maybe

Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

Jesus wouldn't have broken the law by making his followers drink actual blood.

John 20:23:

"Then He breathed on them and said: 'Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive are forgiven then, and whose sins who shall retain are retained.'"

So you admit that the Apostles received the Holy Ghost on Easter Sunday.

So why do you fish-heads consider Pentecost a special holiday?

Consider also the following:

Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].

Save your breath, Brother. The Mary-hailers have removed Hebrews chapter 10 from their oldest Bibles. From WikiPedia:

"The extant New Testament of Vaticanus contains the Gospels, Acts, the General Epistles, the Pauline Epistles and the Epistle to the Hebrews (up to Heb 9:14)"

Re: The Bible Believer's Handbook of Heresies

The body of Jesus that you must eat is the word of God, you silly mary-hailer..
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4

It has to do with obeying the Word of God, believing the Word of God:
To have faith in Jesus, the Word made flesh, and not in the works of men in fancy dresses..

Stop twisting the scriptures, papist!

Re: The Bible Believer's Handbook of Heresies

Unpardonable Sin
During His physical life on earth, Jesus often exercised His Deity by performing miracles through the Divine power of the Holy Ghost. In Matthew 12:22-32, the Pharisees witness one of the Lord's many miracles. Then, instead of believing on Jesus, they accused Him of performing miracles through the power of the Devil. He then told them that men could be forgiven for blasphemy (evil and hurtful speaking) against men and against Him, but that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost could NEVER be forgiven. A companion reference for this is found in Mark 3:30, where we are told WHY Jesus said this to them: "Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit."

It is important to note that nothing is said about this particular sin after Calvary. It is only mentioned during the life of Christ on earth, while He was working genuine miracles by the power of the Holy Ghost. It is also needful to understand that blasphemy is a sin of the TONGUE. A person could not commit blasphemy with thoughts or actions. It was strictly a sin of the tongue, and it could only be committed by openly accusing Jesus Christ of working through Satanic power.

Some teach that this sin may still be committed today, but there is no scriptural support for this. In fact, when Jesus later speaks of the coming of the Holy Ghost to indwell believers, He said that the Holy Ghost would convict the world of three things: sin, righteousness, and judgment. He then said that the Holy Ghost would convict the world of SIN for ONE REASON: "because they believe not on me." (John 16:7-11) It seems that if blasphemy against the Holy Ghost was to be the greatest sin of this age, that Jesus would have used this opportunity to warn us about it, but He warned us about UNBELIEF instead. Some Charismatic groups, who profess to be LED by the Holy Ghost, are in the habit of accusing anyone who opposes them of blaspheming the Holy Ghost. For example, some Charismatics would say that I have blasphemed the Holy Ghost in this booklet, because I have written things in opposition to their practice of speaking in unknown tongues and faith healing. That's baloney. Even if they WERE doing all these things by the Holy Ghost (which they are not), it still would not be unpardonable to speak against it. Many people have spoken against great Christian works and then gotten saved later. The Apostle Paul is a good example (Acts 8-9). The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from ALL SIN (I John 1:9), and if you want to commit the unpardonable sin in this age, then you will have to reject Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Go ahead and reject Christ, and when you stand before God at the White Throne Judgment, you will NOT be forgiven.

Now we do realize that a person can reject Christ for so long that God the Holy Ghost pulls away and stops convicting that individual. In which case the individual never receives Christ, never receives forgiveness of sin, and goes to Hell (Pro. 1:23-33; Isa. 55:6-7; John 12:37-43), but only God knows when a person crosses that line. No man on this planet has any scriptural authority for telling someone that God will never forgive them for their sins.

A-HA!!!

So you all are WRONG about my Aquinas Knights football coach!

Re: The Bible Believer's Handbook of Heresies

I have a great deal of respect for Pastor Melton, but he gets real Calvinism mixed up with hyper-Calvinism. Pure Calvinism comes straight from a literal understanding of the Bible. Hyper-Calvinism is indeed a heresy, and is based upon a twisted understanding of Calvinism.

A major difference between Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism is that hyper-Calvinism denies free will, whereas Calvinism affirms it.

Pastor Melton lists Calvinism as a heresy, but when he goes into his explanation, it is clear that he is talking about hyper-Calvinism, not Calvinism. If he had made it clear that he was talking about hyper-Calvinism instead of real Calvinism, I would have agreed with every word he said.

I believe that Pastor Melton would agree with Calvinism if he understood it correctly.

Dr. B. B. Warfield describes Calvinism as follows:


I doubt that Pastor Melton would find anything to object to here.

Pastor Billy-Reuben, I couldn't have said that better myself! Amen to you, Brother! You put that one right over the plate!
