    Satan's power

    Eph 2:2 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, NKJV Satan is the power of the air. Is the media controlled by Satan? 2 Thess 2:11 11 And for this reason God will...

    The Religious Mind

    ALL SCRIPTURES ARE FROM THE NKJV of the Bible. When the scripture said to "not forsake the assembling ourselves together," why do most assume it is in the formal religious services in a church building? Heb 10:25 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of...

    A Study of the book of James:

    2 Tim 3:15-16 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in...

    A Study of the book of James:

    Stupid question but it shows you are reaching for straws. All of Paul's writings are to me since I am a Gentile and he was sent to the Gentiles (ME) by Jesus. Or don't you believe he was?

    A Study of the book of James:

    Your saying I am standing in peril is suppose to make me change my mind. If a person goes back under the law they are accursed according to Paul. I am not blind, you would say what you said to everyone that doses not believe what you do.

    A Study of the book of James:

    Sorry fellows but I stand behind the OP and do not need to say any more about it. Like the OP stated people will argue this till they are blue in the face but I am not going to. The book says who it was written to and I believe it.

    A Study of the book of James:

    No where in the book of James is it written that Jesus' shed blood on the cross pays for the sins of the whole world. In his book he never once mentions the very basis of salvation under grace. If you love the book do as it says. Personally it wasn't written to me so it is not for me.

    A Study of the book of James:

    When it said ""I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and will come again to you" Abraham was confident that God would let him and the lad return to them. Again it is faith in God that makes people righteous in God's eyes. Thanks for your input.

    A Study of the book of James:

    Profitable? All it does for those under grace is to make them place faith in what they do. You just don't get it do you. IMHO, all James is writing to in the Jews who were under the law and you and others want to use it to put the children of God back under the law of works. Those that use...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    A very religious reply. Matt 16:1-4 The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign (Mark 8:11-13; Luke 12:54-56) 16 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair...

    A Study of the book of James:

    [Heb 11:17 KJV] 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son], Where does it say that he was accounted as righteous by this work?
  13. H. Richard

    A Study of the book of James:

    actually you ought to see the truth. Go to Acts 21:20 and say again that James and Paul were teaching the same thing. Look, if you wish to ignore the inconsistency in the facts I brought out in the OP then that is your problem, not mine. As for me the book of James was not written to me and...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    So you think those that place their belief, faith, trust, and confidence in Jesus' work on the cross are doing nothing? Why do you think your works will save you when the scriptures plainly say they won't? It is obvious to me that you think works of religion will save you. That a person must...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    1 Cor 6:11 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. NKJV Only God can sanctify a person.

    Trying to be saved through religion

    And how am I to take up my cross, by doing works or placing my faith in Jesus' cross? When a person places their faith in Jesus' work on His cross they are taking up their cross because the religious will persecute them for doing it as they persecuted Paul and as they do on this and many other...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    Am I supposed to seek approval of men, or God?
  18. H. Richard

    A Study of the book of James:

    These are my personal observations based on what the scriptures “””actually say.””” . The old saying that James and Paul were teaching the same thing, or that the word “works” each used do not mean the same thing, are just rationalizations to advance a false gospel. One must understand that...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    What James, and those who use his book, are doing is to try and make those who are trusting in God's finished work on the cross go back under the works of the law. This thread is not about the book of James. Nor is it about me. It is about Paul's views about religion and the fact that he gave...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    Oh yes use threats to get me to change my mind. James clearly, teaches the law and we are not under the law. But if you wish to be under law then go to it. Yes all scripture is for us to see but not all is written to those under grace. You should know that. Perhaps you should go build a...
