What happens to their souls for breaking their vows? I would that they never stay single and they get married for it is wrong for man to be alone and I can't stress this enough i realy cannot. lacy-1]]></description>

Please show me how you resolve them.<br /><br />Heb:10:14: For by one offering he hath perfected for ever <b>them that are sanctified.</b><br /><br />sanctified here is a present tense participle, not a past tense verb or aorist.  The literal translation should be "the ones being sanctified" or "those/them that are being sanctified".  Indeed, many bibles use something similar.  This is describing a process.<br /><br />29 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and <b>profaned the blood of the covenant <u>by which he was sanctified,</u></b> and outraged the Spirit of grace? <br /><br />Now sanctified here is an aorist tense verb, indicating a past tense event which means the person in question has already been born again.  That is what the author is telling us.  According to you, a born again Christian has his sins forgiven past, present and future.  Well, not this person.  Sounds like a momentary redemption, because this person was born again, and by continual and willful sin, he has fallen from grace and has been condemned to hell.  The willful sins are not being forgiven which seems to explode your thesis.<br /><br />Now its your turn to show me the difference in these two verses.]]></description>

The Catholic Church is hidden directly in front of Protestants eyes.<br /><br />]]></description>

Jesus promised that He would baptize with the Holy Spirit, which is what we see from the scriptures being given through the hands of Apostles.  They do not baptize with the Baptism of John, but with the Baptism of Christ which endows us with the Holy Ghost.<br /><br /><b>John 7:37-39</b>  <font color="purple"><i>"37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. <br /><br /> 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. <br /><br /> 39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"</i></font id="purple"> [This you knew.]<br /><br /><br /><b>Acts 2:38</b> <font color="purple"><i>"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."</i></font id="purple">[This you routinely disregard.]<br /><br /><br /><b>Acts 8:13-17</b> <font color="purple"><i>"14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: <br /><br /> 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: <br /><br /> 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) <br /><br /> 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost."</i></font id="purple">[This you keep forgetting.]<br /><br />Believing is not what brings down the Holy Ghost, or else the Church would not have needed to send Peter and John to give it to them.  Only those who had been baptized in Christ's Name (by men baptizing with Christ's authority, which is what "in Christ's Name" means).<br /><br />With the sole exception of Cornelius and his household who received a special and unique dispensation by God because they were the first Gentiles to be baptized, no Christian receives the Holy Ghost unless they are baptized into Christ, this is what happens with water baptism.<br /><br />The problem is that while you speak of spiritual things, you are unable to recognize them.  You only see the physical element of baptism and not beyond it to the extraordinary gift that Jesus sends with the water.<br /><br />A blind man was healed with spit and mud so that we could see that Jesus can do anything with anything.  So let Christ open your eyes and see beyond the water to the Holy Ghost that becomes the living water within you.<br /><hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"><br /><br />So now you have an eucharist baptism or the water turns into a magic pool or you become Jesus in the pool or when ghetting wet??[:0]]]></description>

Indeed, Paul shows in your very quote that the gift of prophecy has more value for the Church.  But each of us have different gifts, and if we are to seek what we do not already have, Paul wants us to seek the higher gifts - higher than the gift of tongues which he places near the bottom of his list.  Any gift from the Holy Spirit is a wonderful thing, even the least of them is cause to be greatful, but do not exhalt yourself for having a different gift than some other Christians.  We all have gifts from the Holy Spirit.<br /><hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"><br /><br />but tongue  edify us and our spirit get to pray!<br /><br /><br /><br />one love]]></description>
