Speaking of narcissism. :rolleyes:

It's possible to hear and not understand. See and not perceive. Like the song goes, "..when you look up in the sky, you can see the stars and still not see the light." Even after I explained to you multiple times what James means by "faith only" in this thread? You certainly hear and do not...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/soros-backed-district-attorney-larry-krasner-exploring-state/ As expected, a Democrat DA is now trying to bring state charges to pardoned January 6ers. Larry Krasner is seeking state charges against pardoned January 6 defendants who live in Pennsylvania...

In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We exercise our will but, the use of...

Presuppositional belief? I already showed you where James said says/claims to have faith (James 2:14) and that James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous and that James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to...

I have properly interpreted what James is saying in context and I also properly harmonized Scripture with Scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. *Be sure to go back and thoroughly read post #4. Your argument is moot. James 2:14 - What use is it, my brethren, if someone says/claims...

If you believe and teach that man is saved by faith + works (even if it's only works in part) then you are a works-salvationist. I am not a faith-onlyist (per James 2:24). I am a faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (per Paul - Romans 4:5-6). I really don't expect you to understand the...

James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

Oh brother. :rolleyes: How did I contradict myself? Genuine faith does not remain alone "barren of works" (James 2:14-24) yet we are still saved through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) God imputes righteousness apart from works. (Romans 4:5-6) No contradiction. You just don't get it. My...

You seem to be making this out to be more complicated than it really is. In regard to the first son repenting in Matthew 21:29, this was in regard to him refusing to go and work in the vineyard then afterward he changed his mind and went. That was the new direction of his change of mind...

How do you define repentance of sin? Become sinless, without fault or defect, flawless in thought, word and deed 100% of the time from the moment you repent until the day you die? Good luck with that. (1 John 1:8-10) When we first come to repentance we acknowledge that we have sinned and come...

Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-26) *Jesus Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of...

In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims to have faith but has no works (to evidence their claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So, when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against an empty profession of...

The Greek word for "repent" is "metanoia" (noun) and "matanoeo" (verb) you see as defined in the Strongs #3340, 3341: to think differently or afterwards, reconsider. To change one's mind. https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Lexicon.show/ID/G3340/metanoeo.htm#:~:text=Strong's #3340...

Through their actions they demonstrated how little they care about Trump, God or making America great again.
