It seems that most on this thread think that Jesus (God) has set up just another religious church run by men and and that trusting in it is the way to heaven. Jesus did not setup a church. He setup a way for sinners to be saved and that way is not through a church. It is through faith. Faith...

The truth remains. That truth is that the gospel of the kingdom, preached by Jesus and the 12, had to be put on hold since the Jews rejected it. Jesus, by His own words, said He only came to the Jews and that was to fulfill all that was written about Him. He was their promised Messiah and...

*** Please show where it says Jesus shed out His soul.

What blinds people is that Jesus said, in His own words, that He did not come except to the lost sheep of Israel. How a person can continue to say He came to the Gentiles too is beyond me. Matt 10:5-7 (NKJ) 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of...

Would that prove it was put together by men and that the Holy Spirit didn't have anything to do with it?

It is very simple. The scriptures were written by those men lead by the Holy Spirit. It is a false statement that men put together the Bible by his own ideas. It was put together by men who were lead by the Holy Spirit. If lead by the Holy Spirit then it wasn't put together by man alone...

Jesus fulfilled the law for us. That is His shed blood was the price paid for sins just as the sacrificial lamb's blood was a picture of what Jesus would do. Have you not read where it says "that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." Heb 9:21-28 21 Then likewise he...

So, since you (Mary) say Peter was the head apostle, why did Jesus send Paul out to the world? Which one of the 12 was sent, specially, to the Gentiles since, as you say, Peter was the head apostle? Acts 9:15-16 15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My...

The Law came through Moses but grace came though Paul. Galatians 2:6-10 6 But from those who seemed to be something — whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man — for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary...

*** So you are saying that the Jews never had to keep the law of Moses, right??????

The Church of His Body is built on Paul's gospel of grace. The church Jesus was talking about will be built when Jesus returns and sets up the promised Jewish kingdom on this earth.

If you are not going to discuss the FACTS brought out in the OP then why are you on this thread?

It seems that most will not look at the FACTS in this OP but would rather just ignore them.

*** Are you saying that keeping commandments are the same as charitable deeds?

I take issue with what has been said in the replies. The religious define there own works that they feel they have to do as the works required. In other words they are doing what they feel will earn them points in Heaven. The children of God do what they are lead to do by the Holy Spirit...

*** Define the works.

In a Sunday School class on September 15, 2013, a statement made by James in the book of James was referenced. James 2:20 21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? No one in the class disagreed with this statement but I should have. I do not believe that...

*** Jesus didn't come to set up a new and improved religion. It was people in religion that had Jesus killed. I am sure you believe what you write but I do not and there are many just like me. All your church teaches is doing religious rituals and works that you think will get you and others...

*** If Peter was the first to preach the gospel of grace explain why he didn't know he was to do it. God had to send him (Peter) a vision that said "what God has called clean let no man call unclean". Explain why Peter and the other Jews with him were astonished when a Gentile was saved...
