    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    (kriss;55956) I can not completley disagree with some of what you say but I still see no contradictions between Paul and James I think the book is greatly misunderstood the following sums up my thoughtsMartin Luther, who detested this letter and called it “the epistle of straw,” failed to...

    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    (RichardBurger;55940) Oh I agree, but he referenced a time in Gen 22 to establish his ideas where Paul referenced Gen 15 to establish his. So tell me, was Abraham acconted as righteous before God in Gen 15 or not until Gen 22?James was perfectly correct considering who he was writing to and...

    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    (RichardBurger;55926) I know you see it differently. treeoflife does too. But that is okay. I do have to disagree that James was making mistakes... it is a slippery slope to say that any one of the books that we have in the Bible contained the teachings of a man that was confused.I believe it...

    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    (tomwebster;55933) treeoflife,Again we are back to the once-saved-always-saved argument which as you know I disagree with, but I'm not going to rehash that topic. And Rich, James was not confused. That is another topic, but I interpret every single matter of salvation through this one doctrine...

    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    James says that faith without works is dead. I simply do not believe that a "dead faith" results in a dead person. We were *made alive* when were *removed from sin* by *Christ's work* alone... Though our faith may die, the Lord makes us a promise. I see no problem with James saying that...

    Is the book of James devoid of grace

    You know, I wonder if James attached himself so much to works because it was his brother (Jesus) that was crucified. Perhaps it hit especially close to home for James... and so he was moved with a righteous indignation in some of his writings, hoping to spur others to good works. It is the...

    The Big Mack Divorce

    (tim_from_pa;55861) Truth is, anywhere you get worldly food (literally or spiritually) you'll be up against this. I feel sorry for those that work for them.Even in big corporate America which I was part of until about 4 years ago had all sorts of sensitivity training on this kind of stuff.I'm...

    The Big Mack Divorce

    (manichunter;55853) I just came accross some information that might require me to give up eating Big Macks. It hurts so bad. I have to pick another favorite type of hamburger. Why MacDonalds, Why? MacDonald's has decided to promote, defend, and endorse the homosexual lifestyle. This is against...

    Why Doesn't God Heal Amputees?

    (jeffhughes;55849) I see what you're saying. And to a certain extent it makes sense. But it still seems to me to be a justification rather than an explanation, if that makes any sense to you. What about, say, someone with chronic arthritis? This is an example where the person is not "sick," nor...

    Why Doesn't God Heal Amputees?

    (jeffhughes;55845) Hi there,Thanks for the responses so far. I think my question needs a bit of clarification, as the first few people didn't seem to get what I was saying (although I probably just didn't explain it well enough). My question is not, "Why does God allow amputated limbs?" or "Why...

    Why Doesn't God Heal Amputees?

    (jeffhughes;55823) Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here with a few questions to ask of all you who are here. Essentially, I was raised a Christian, but lately I have been having some serious doubts about the existence of God in particular. I have a bunch of tough questions that I simply don't have...

    1 Cor. 15:20-28

    (Denver;55765) It's not at all about insecurity. If it was insecurity, you'd rather clearly never have even had a chance to speak about this false doctrine. The reason, also stated just as clearly, as to why we are firmly against the rapture theory is that it's not just an issue to disagree on...

    Is punishment in hell eternal?

    I understand what you are saying. "It's God's Word" really loses it's meaning, because anyone and everyone can and often does claim that... when often is the case, that there is someone on the other end of the debate saying the exact same thing. It can be a delima...Nevertheless, does that...

    Is punishment in hell eternal?

    Here is a question.What does burning "fire" that cannot be quenched feel like, to a spiritual being, having passed from this fleshly life into the next? Who are we to say that the existance, whatever it is like, and whatever the fire Jesus speaks of feels like, is not eternal, when Jesus...

    Orthodox

    Sometimes I have said that what I am saying appears to be "a little unorthodox". That is to say, it is not what is generally assumed, understood, or believed by most of those who say they believe. Othertimes I will say what I am saying is rather orthodox. I can say that when I say it, be it...

    What is the rock in Matthew 16:18?

    (Jake99;55529) Christ never knew you because you work the ways of the Anti Christ and Satan. It is not what you say that counts it is what you do. Have any of you stood against the moneychangers and salesman who Jesus wanted thrown out of the kingdom? Petra and Jerusalem has nothing to do with...
