    BAPTISM

    That is not the point. You are still placing your faith in a church that is a man organized, man run system and that will not save you. Only faith in the shed blood of Jesus saves a person. The church does not save anyone. You hang your hat on these verses. Matt 16:16-18 16 Simon Peter...

    BAPTISM

    It is you that is in the wrong. You wish to place the obvious FACTS that James got wrong by switching to an accusation against me. What does the scriptures say about Abraham? Did God declare him righteous in Genesis 15:4-6 because he believed God or was he declared righteous in Genesis 22 as...

    BAPTISM

    I take it that you are a Catholic. If I were in your place I would be ashamed to say that after all that has been in the news lately. How can a Catholic say their Priests are men of God and represent Him when some of them are child molesters. Do they really think they are men of God? Anyone...

    BAPTISM

    No person comes to Jesus until they know they are sinners AND CAN"T SAVE THEMSELVES BY THEIR OWN WORKS?. But the teaching that a person has to stop sinning in the flesh keeps people from under standing that Jesus kept the law FOR US. We do not have to keep it because we can't. But the...

    See reply 151. There are implications in some questions that are meant to show the other person, personally, in the wrong.

    BAPTISM

    But that is not what is being taught. Most certainly following God's law would make a very good world. But, as the scriptures teach """"NO MAN CAN KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES. Or do you disagree with this? Important? Yes. Needed for salvation under God's grace? NO.

    The trouble with religion

    mrj, if you read 16:9 it means the reason God will reprove a person's sin is only because they do not believe in Him; Not because they sin. That means sin does not reprove a person. The person's not believing in Jesus condemns him/her. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your posts and replies.

    BAPTISM

    Okay then I guess the Holy Spirit got it wrong because fact are facts. But I see you just want to bury them in a smoke screen of accusations about me. I did not make James write what he said to the Jews and you can't convince me that his writing are for those under grace when all he is...

    BAPTISM

    According to the ""world Book Encyclopedia" (COPYRIGHT 1990, U.S.A.) the writer of the Book of James was not the apostle James, but the brother of Jesus. James should not be confused with James, the son of Alphaeus or James the son of Zebedee who were among the 12 apostles. Do your homework!

    BAPTISM

    You don't need a KEY. The words are plain and mean what they say. A person does not need to be justified before man. As I said, the religious will not say anything about the FACTS that James got wrong. They will stick their heads in the sand and just ignore them and want others to go to...

    BAPTISM

    And you do not think I do, right????????????? Give me a break. I found two places where James got his facts wrong and posted them. But it was met with abusive replies showing that most do not really believe the text unless it supports their theology. James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to...

    The same thing that you do.

    BAPTISM

    I think every child of God hates sins of the flesh. They know they condemn a person. But hating sins of the flesh does not mean that a person can do away with all sins of their flesh. Paul mentioned a thorn in the flesh. Most believe he is talking about a physical sickness of some sort. But...

    BAPTISM

    That is the problem. You have been educated in a religious theology. You will not venture to have an open mind.

    BAPTISM

    What I see you saying is that a child of God has been set free from sinning in the flesh. In other words a child of God will not sin in the sinful flesh any longer. Is that what you are saying? Correct me if I am wrong.

    BAPTISM

    Why should I address them.. You will not accept anything I might say so why should I bother? You will just use it to say something negative about me.

    I like your thing about the Mosquito I wish all would see that there truly is power in the shed blood of Jesus. Thanks for you input.

    BAPTISM

    As for the word ""BEING"" it does not mean what you think it does. I am a being. 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 This is a clear fact. I do not...

    BAPTISM

    You are just like the Pharisees who had Jesus killed. You just can't resist saying I am Scripturally-bankrupt. Perhaps you should look into a mirrow.

    BAPTISM

    You ought to read what you say. The church is not a physical organisation ran by sinful men. Christian = A person who is personally trusting that God loves him and sent his son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die on a cross for his/her sins. A person that trusts God to save and keep him/her...
