    Trying to be saved through religion

    God does not lie. The Holy Spirit had James write to the Jews who were under the Law of Moses. IMHO, to say it is written to the Gentiles under grace makes James 1-1 a lie. But you are welcome to think it is written to you if you wish but I do not think the Holy Spirit said it was written to...

    Trying to be saved through religion

    Phil 3:4-11 4 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal...

    Exiting the Ark

    I think the story of the Ark is one of great importance. The Ark is the thing that saved Noah and his family. OUR ARK: (the “in Christ” doctrine) I look at the words ""in Christ"" and think of them in reference to Noah and the flood. Noah was told by God to build an Ark. It was built by...

    Once Saved Always Saved Garbage Teaching!!

    Assurance of salvation: The law was given to teach mankind that mankind could never save him/her self by what they do. It was to show that mankind needed God to save them. It is a shame that many in religions of today believe that if they try to keep the law and try to be good they will be...

    Why the law was given

    That is just your opinion. There is only one reason and I stated that reason. I will no longer reply to you since all you are doing is trying to argue with me. That is plain to see since you fail to state any other reason you want to add to the O.P. Gal 3:22-25 22 But the Scripture has...

    Why the law was given

    As Paul states, the children of God are not under the law of Moses but you don't want that to be true do you? So you say it is up to me to find all the reasons YOU want to say that what I posted is not the whole truth. A very good religious reply that only says the religious want there to be...

    All are under sin:

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

    THE WISDOM OF GOD:

    John 3:6-8 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is...

    THE WISDOM OF GOD:

    You wish to see justice. I thank God always for His love shown on the cross where He paid for the sins of all the world. Was it justice or was it love? Remember that the scriptures say love fulfills the law. God's love for mankind fulfilled the law for all of mankind but if a person does not...

    The Simple Gospel of Grace:

    You are right. We are to come before Him boldly, not with fear. After all He paid for our sins and made us children of God in Christ. Heb 4:14-16 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For...

    THE WISDOM OF GOD:

    Many do not know about these scriptures and therefore do not say much about them. It is a fact that God can call sinners in the flesh, righteous because He has paid for their sins of the flesh. It is a fact that those who seem righteous are not righteous in God's eyes because of their pride...

    THE WISDOM OF GOD:

    1 Cor 1:19-31 - NKJV 19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom...

    Galatians 5

    So you are rebuking me for teaching a false doctrine. Are you a Catholic? Do you wish to burn me at the stake? The Catholics, and others, burned people at the stake because they would not bow down to their doctrines and as we can all see you are trying to do the same to me. People on this...

    Galatians 5

    There is no joy in what you believe. What you seem to believe is that a person has to save him/her self by what they do. To believe that is to NOT BELIEVE in what Jesus did on the cross and that it was not a free gift from God.

    Galatians 5

    Romans 10:3-11 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is...

    Galatians 5

    WRONG. your statement is totally backwards. It is because mankind lives in sinful bodies that Jesus had to shed His blood to pay for their sins of the flesh. You forget that Jesus has already paid for the sins of the children of God and they are sinless in spirit. Flesh and blood will never...

    Galatians 5

    Many deceive others and say they no longer sin in the flesh. That is easy to say. Many go around saying they are better than those who sin but to me, since I know all men sin in the flesh, they are just being hypocritical. I see you saying you no longer sin in the flesh and God says all men...

    Galatians 5

    If it is a law you must follow then you will never get to heaven. Have you ever considered that it was Jesus' love for mankind that fulfilled that law FOR US? You have asked this question for me to say yes or no. What purpose will my answer serve? Do you have an agenda that you wish to use...
