Born of water and Spirit ====== born of flesh and Spirit

Two places in the Bible that I do not feel support baptismal regeneration (water baptism necessary for salvation) are as follows. 1 Pet 3:18-22 18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by...

Again you are just trying to cover up the obvious FACTS I presented with other verses that are from another context. You refuse to see the obvious and that is sticking your head in the sand thinking they will go away. Even in Acts 21:20-21 it is clear that James WAS NOT teaching the Jews that...

What do you think about James getting his facts wrong????????????????? That is what this thread is all about. All you wish to do is to ignore them by trying to change the subject. Until you comment on the FACTS that are wrong I see no reason to let you change the subject to something other...

Like I said, people will completely ignore the clear FACTS brought out in my post and fail to address them. They wish to cover them up with a bunch of other scriptures that have no relations to the FACTS I posted.

Okay, rationalize these FACTS that show James was mistaken in the book of James. 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) **FACT! No...

People can argue this until they are blue in the face but it does not change the FACTS as shown in Genesis. In my opinion the book of James is devoid of the gospel of grace as taught by Paul. However, it is compatible with the Jewish law. Since the word of God has to be based on truth, I find...

Your reply said that a believer has to be continuously cleaned. I disagree with that since that would mean a person has to be forgiven daily and fit in perfectly with those that teach faith plus works daily to keep salvation. Not only that but the scriptures I give will testify that Jesus paid...

That is the point. No man can keep himself unspotted from the world. Religions ran by men become corrupt.

I do not believe that an answer given by me will be accepted so I will forget your question.

You have jumped to a false concussion. What James wrote was specifically written to the Jews (James 1:1) teaching the law. But the religious say that since it is in the Bible it is written to the Gentiles too. That is a false concussion. Either it was written to the Jews only or James 1:1 is...

I will be glad to do it. Up until God set the Jews aside the Jews were under the law. There are no words in the 4 gospels or the first 8 or so chapters of Acts that sets aside the Jews or the Law of Moses. Jesus taught the law. He never rescinded the law of Moses for the Jews while He was on...

James was under the law of Moses and part of the Jewish religion and he wrote to the Jews who were under the Law of Moses (James 1:1).

The problem with the religious is that they do not remember the past. It was the religious that jailed and sometimes killed the Prophets, had Jesus killed, killed Stephens and persecuted Paul's converts. When a person fails to see that then they will fall under the teachings of the religious...

All through history men have made up religions and in doing so controlled others. The meaning of the word religion is "WHAT MAN DOES FOR THE GOD THEY THINK EXISTS. There are many religions in the world and not all of them are called Christian. True Christianity is not about what man does...

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 the religions of today. Matt 23:1-16 Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees (Mark 12:38-40; Luke 20:45-47) 1 Then Jesus spoke to the...

Your opinion is very complicated. I feel that my opinion is straight forward and easy to understand. But that is what religion does. It make it complicated so as to discourage those that just read it for what it says. Jesus was describing His own experience with the Jews and what would...

Justification means they are sinless. Show me how they could be sinless without the shed blood of Jesus on the cross? Acts 17:30-31 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the...

What provision are you implying. Starting with Abraham up to the Preaching of grace by Paul there was no justification by grace. But you will try to find it. God only made a covenant with the the Jews. That covenant was set aside when the Jews refused to accept Jesus as their Messiah and...

What do these replies have to do with the opening post? It is a fact that God destroyed the Jewish Temple in 70 AD and scattered the Jews all over the world. The nation of Israel did not exist for almost 2,000 years. God had cut it down.
