Through faith only demonstrates His righteousness. Rom 3:25-26 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time...

Gen 4:3-8 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain...

First I wish to say that what is written in this post is what I believe. I do not write it to refute, or criticize anyone. I give everyone the right to believe as they wish. I also take that right for myself. I offer this post as food for thought. ******* 1 Cor. 15: 20-28 20 But now Christ is...

Eph 3:8-10 8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created...

I hope this is not taken the wrong way. It is not intended to offend anyone. These are my personal thoughts based on what the scriptures actually say and put in this study. The old saying that James and Paul were teaching the same thing, or that the word “works” each used do not mean the same...

It breaks my heart when I hear many sermons in the Christian religion miss-using the scriptures in order to make a point. Case in point, “The Sheep and Goat Judgment”. * They use this scripture to indicate that we are to help others as a basis for our salvation. Under the Law of Moses the...

It has been my lot to find out, first hand, the results of those that teach sinless perfection in the flesh; that God changes our sinful flesh nature. The result of this teaching causes many to give up hope and turn away from Jesus. When I was about 25 years old I worked for a factory in...

It was asked by someone “would God ask us to do what we couldn’t do?“ The answer is yes, He asked the Jews to keep the Law of Moses. However, when they, the Jews, killed their Messiah (Jesus) He {God} concluded that no man could keep the Law of Moses and He had another plan to save sinful men...

Isa 53:5-6 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of...

It is believed, by many, that the grace church was started by Peter on the day of Pentecost. But if you look close all that is written in Acts, spoken by Peter, is to get the Jews (Israel) to accept Jesus as their Messiah and king so that He would return and setup the kingdom that was promised...

When you read Mathew 23: 1-35 we see what Jesus said of the religious Pharisees of the time. Fast forward to today and we can see that what Jesus said is true in religions today. Most certainly it can be seen in the RCC. Matt 23:1-16 Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees (Mark 12:38-40; Luke...

All scriptures from the NKJV 1 John 3:9 ******9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 1 John 5:18-20 ******18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself...

All scriptures are from the NKJV Romans 8:1-11 --- Free from Indwelling Sin (this does not mean we have no sins in/of the flesh. It means we are set free from the condemnation of our sins) 1 There is therefore now (present tense) no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not...

Everyone has a mind, will, and emotions. But where are they located in the body? The body dies but what about the thoughts in the mind, the will and the emotions? Do they die too?

Isaiah 61:10 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. NKJV It is...

When a person, or religious organization, keeps inventing sacraments, then it is they're keeping of the sacraments they have faith in, not Christ. Otherwise, why keep those invented sacraments? And when one goes to a confessional and tells a "priest" about their sins, then it is their going to...

All scriptures are from the NKJV Romans 8:1-11 --- Free from Indwelling Sin (this does not mean we have no sins in/of the flesh. It means we are set free from the condemnation of our sins) 1 There is therefore now (present tense) no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not...

The difference between Acts 15 and Acts 21: When we read acts 15:1 we see that some Judaizers (Jewish believers in Jesus) came down from Judea teaching the GENTILES "Unless they are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, they cannot be saved." Because of this, Paul went to Jerusalem to...

The Law came through Moses but grace came though Paul. Galatians 2:6-10 6 But from those who seemed to be something — whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man — for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary...

In a Sunday School class on September 15, 2013, a statement made by James in the book of James was referenced. James 2:20 21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? No one in the class disagreed with this statement but I should have. I do not believe that...
