If you don't repent you're not saved and the unsaved are not who I'm speaking to or about. If you want to split hairs to make your point go ahead but I take the fact that Arthur said he's saved (a Christian) by faith by his words. I don't really see the need to get into a urinating contest with anyone , especially someone just trying to disprove a point or prove one.
And by the way, Jesus didn't go around just quoting scripture verbatim but His word pictures and parables were human interpretations of said scripture as well. By your thinking John the Baptist had no right to tell of Jesus ministry because he had no degree in theology. All 12 original apostles had no right to do as Jesus commanded them to do because they didn't go to college? That about right? They had no acronyms around their name so there was no accuracy to their words or actions sound like what you mean?
Anyway, this thread is about prayer to our accepted deity and not a contest of whose religion is best and who here does the best job of practicing it.

In other words since you can't argue whatever point you're making
you're going to set up a bunch of strawmen about college, John the Baptist,
and the Apostles.
Yeah...John the Baptist had the authority of the Tanach.
Jesus had the Authority of the Tanach.
The RCC bases it's dogma..or at least used to
on the Authority of both OT and NT.
No degree necessary, just a bit of intelligence to see the connection.
Sure, repentance is a prerequisite for salvation but if after
your (alleged) salvation to stand up on street corners and preach a false Gospel
then you haven't repented and are still in sin.
Seems to me the only ones trying to see if they can piss more than me
are only pissing on the Jesus Christ whose Blood they claim.
What I've done here is correct somebody who claims His Blood
but who in the eyes of anybody in the Spirit (no degree needed)
is pissing on that Blood and anybody defending that piss is anti-Christ
and fomenting discord and misunderstanding.
You guys seem to think that some dude named Jesus just showed and said I'm THE LORD
and the King of the Jews w/o any authority to do that and that's not how it goes.
He has a pedigree which gave Him AUTHORITY. It's on that authority
that we have Christianity and to disregard that authority as interpretation or opinion
is to disregard the LORD.
Look, I'm not here to preach Sunday School or teach you guys
I know I could lead horses to water but mules are difficult to make drink.
However if you read your Scripture instead of running around thinking you're saved
'cause Paul and Janet Crouch said "Repeat after me"
or some such nonsense then you're in for some surprising news when you find He doesn't know you.
Send your Tithes to
@MrScaryZ and talk to yourselves all you want 'cause
Jesus told those guys w/o degrees but plenty of pedigree
that if you come to a town and nobody wants to hear your words they
should dust their sandals and walk,
I'm dustin and walking..
