Ok. The reason I mention Saint James, is because he said, "If you Keep the Royal Law 'You shall Love your Neighbor as yourself', you are doing well"... I think this is how Saint James reconciled your OP's Verses. We are Justified at first Belief, and we do well after this by Keeping the Royal...

I agree... As the Second Adam, Christ bought the World; thus the World has access to Atonement... I realized this, and Coined the Term "Unconditional Consequences". The curse of Original Sin is a Universal and Unconditional Consequence of the Fall, because Adam is our Federal Head as our...

How they agree? Is this a question about how Saint James wants us to show him our Faith by our Works? Trying to zero-in...

Even the Roman Catholic church can find Church Fathers to support them; so No, we can't trust the ECF's like we can trust the Bible. For the most part, the ECF's are good; because they agree on the Fundamentals... When's the last time you've seen the Early Church Fathers disagree on the good stuff?

When it comes to Romans 5, being in Adam or in Christ is about the Unconditional Consequences of being in one or the other of their two Covenants of Works. Adam's is broken, Christ's is Kept. It's also about the population of those in Adam or Christ. All are, or were, in Adam; but some of the...

He's a Hyper Calvinist...

I would say, as long as you have Orthodox Christian beliefs; keep up your Bible Studies. If you find a new Church, see if your Bible Studies are compatible with their Bible Studies. The only way to grow, is to invite people...

He has become a Life giving Spirit. The Resurrection is required...

Judgment Days ~ by ReverendRV * June 15 Romans 2:5 ESV; But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. Theology sometimes presents us with a System to explain difficulties in the Bible. I...

This reminds me of Pilgrim's Progress. Pilgrim got a Certificate to take with him on his journey; this symbolizes his Justification through Faith Alone. As he was going up a mountain, he stopped at a rest stop; then he continued up the mountain. He realized he was missing his Certification, so...

Olive Wreath ~ by ReverendRV * July 28 1st Corinthians 9:24 KJV; Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. The Olive Wreath is known as the ‘Kotinos’ was the prize for the winner at the ancient Olympic Games. It was an olive...

Easy Believism ~ by ReverendRV * March 23 Romans 10:9 KJV; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. The Protestant Reformation was built largely upon the premise we are Saved through...

What are you trying to reconcile? I read the OP; are you trying to reconcile Easy Believism with Running the Race as to win the Prize? I'll Paste two of my Gospel Tracts about this...

Yeah, showing people how they could call God a Liar eventually sinks in. Thanks again...

What about how Saint John shares his thoughts on the Holy Spirit's Inspiration, which he didn't ignore; highlighted in the Gospel Tract? This is what is supposed to happen when we read the same Inspiration; come to Saint John’s conclusion... You say, "That's fair; now you have to believe...

One tactic can be to treat the Bible like you're in a Book Club. We're all in the book store at a Club. One person disagrees with Women not being allowed to Pastor. Another person says, "I get it; but we're talking about the Book and what it says. Let's talk about the Narrative"... The Church...

Calling God a Liar ~ by ReverendRV * February 10 Titus 1:2 BSB; in hope of Eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, Imagine what our life would be like if God could lie. In Norse mythology Loki is a trickster, the god of mischief. The Bible calls Satan the god of...

Touch and taste ~ by ReverendRV * November 22 Genesis 3:3 KJV; But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Did God really say that if Eve would touch that fruit, she would die? We read earlier...

Not at all, God didn’t force them to Sin...

Thank you for reading my Gospel Tract; may it's Point be a Burr under your Theological Saddle...
