    Please explain this.

    Mark, I can tell the faith of others by what they have faith in. If it is in their works to be good, and,or their religion, then I do not see a faith that will save. What I see is that they have placed their faith in religion and its works.

    ADDING WORKS:

    Well if you have to ask me all these questions then you obviously have not thought through the implications of your own theology.

    ADDING WORKS:

    The gospel of the promised kingdom for the Jews under the covenant made with the Jews.

    Please explain this.

    I have said what I have said. Your slanting it does not make it what I,I,I,I,I said. I have said that the book of James was not written to the Gentile grace church. To say it is, is to say the Holy Spirit got it wrong. I am uneasy with a conversation with you because I do not trust you to...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Again, I ask, who are the THEY. Was it the Jews, Apostles, or the Gentiles under grace. You think you asked a simple question but it wasn't. I think it was a gotcha question and I will not play that game. If this does not satisfy you then you will just have to be unsatisfied. LOL

    ADDING WORKS:

    First of all, who is the "they" you are indicating? Why did Jesus go to the cross? Because God loves people (His creation) and wishes to save them by paying the price for their sins. According to Paul God had that in mind from the fall of man in the garden but it was hidden in God. It is...

    Please explain this.

    James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? (NKJ) Okay, then how do you explain this? He was accounted righteous before God several years earlier...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Ask them.

    ADDING WORKS:

    Why do you say this about what I believe. Perhaps you should consider that it is you that are in serious error. I have not made any accusations about what you, personally, believe. As a matter of fact normally I do not respond to your writings. Why do you do it to me? I know why. Satan has...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Are you walking in His works or your own?
  11. H. Richard

    ADDING WORKS:

    So some just talk (write) all around the fact that the Holy Spirit had James write his message to the Jews only. That is twisting the scriptures to say what they want it to say. It is obvious, at least to me, that the BELIEVING Jews were following Paul around (Acts 15) trying to get those...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Some will find any excuse to get the writings of James to apply to the those under grace. They do not say how they get around James 1:1. They just rationalize all around it.
  13. H. Richard

    ADDING WORKS:

    He said who he was writing to but you just don't believe it. see James 1:1
  14. H. Richard

    ADDING WORKS:

    I can't understand why people can't believe what James wrote in James 1:1.

    My personal walk with God through faith:

    As for man's wisdom I quote 1 Corinthians 2, verses 1 through 5 from the Living Bible to see what Paul said about man's wisdom. " Dear Brothers, even when I first came to you I didn't use lofty words and brilliant ideas to tell you God's message. For I decided that I would speak only of...

    My personal walk with God through faith:

    I have talked with many representatives of religions. Some of them come to my door and many others are on Internet forums. Although I placed my faith in Jesus at the early age of 9, talking with these representatives caused me to examine what I believe about God and my relationship with him...

    An Opinion about rituals "in religions":

    This is my answer. Church = The Church is a "Spiritual Church" (spiritual house 1 Peter 2:4 5) (Mark 14:58) (Acts 17:23 25) (2 Cor. 5:1) (Heb 9:11 and 24) made up of Children of God. Since it consists of 'born again People the true Church is as Jesus described a born again person in John...

    ADDING WORKS:

    What seems to be obvious is that those that teach a child of God MUST have works to show their faith have hung the statement of James that “faith without works is dead” around the necks of those “IN CHRIST” who believe in Jesus‘ work on the cross. To these we are just required to keep the law...

    An Opinion about rituals "in religions":

    When a person, or religious organization, keeps inventing sacraments, then it is their 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...

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    1 Thess 5:23-24 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. NKJV My Bible software search did not find the words "and...
