James is not contradicting Paul, but complementing him. Paul is fearful of dead works without a living faith. James is fearful of a dead faith that produces no good works. If no works are produced, faith is a mere dead thing, good for nothing. One who produces no good works proves he has not...

Well KC, there are many Christians and some meet on Thursday, some Friday, and Saturday or Sunday or maybe even Tuesday. Many house churches meet when it is convenient for the majority. The solemnity is not in keeping a specific day, but in keeping right relationship with man and God. That is...

It's long and detailed because I cover a lot of topics within a larger topic. The NT describes the "true" rest of God and is completely silent about Gentiles keeping or breaking the 4th commandment.

Hey there, CRFD - thanks for reading my post. I appreciate your comments and the opportunity to clarify. From a Jewish person's standpoint (does not believe Christ is the Messiah), the sabbath is still an eternal covenant. To them, "the new" has not arrived and they are really not expecting...

There is no record of many people sinning in the NT. So what? We have this record, though: For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:23 Do you believe the Scripture or are you going to "adjust" it to agree with your theology? We are suppose to line up with Scripture not...

"Keeping the Sabbath" according to the precepts that God laid down in the OT is not kept by the Jews or anyone. I posted this before: Don't know if it was in this thread, may have been in another Sabbath thread. I will post it for the benefit of new people. There is definitely a move away...

If you are without sin, you do not need a Savior and in fact you would be elevated to the same level as Jesus Christ. If you are without sin, and were murdered then you could even be the Savior of all mankind, but since no one could do that, Jesus came and offered Himself on our behalf. God...

Hi Hammer, I can't quote portions of a person's post anymore. Maybe you have fixed it, I have not checked. and now when I quote it again, I lose the previous post that I put into the original post. That would be what was in red.

Then you misunderstood, me. I took the opportunity to give the Biblical definition. Religion has way too broad of a meaning, anyway. A person can be religious about almost anything. The very concept of Christian love would be unknown without Jesus Christ. Too many "languages" of religions...

Gee, I thought love was the language of faith. Gal_5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy...

Hi James, I would like to respond, but maybe something has happened in the latest "upgrade", as I cannot quote parts of your post above. I used to be able to go into your post and hit enter where it would be separated from the rest of your post when I hit enter and then I could reply. But...

And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Hebrews 13:17 says nothing about "titles" or calling anyone by one. You are only in a sense, a little "christ" , if Christ is dwelling in you and you are yielding to Him. One way to know that someone is sent...

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God...

Since Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, He can direct you by His Spirit to do anything He wants you to do on the "Sabbath", whether the Sabbath is Tuesday, Saturday or Wednesday (no one really knows anymore). He can even direct you to go to work and "pick some corn", or love the prison guard as you...

Vt. woman disfigured in chemical attack reveals new face after transplant at Mass. hospital. (Sounds like she has a new heart, too). “I learned that ... forgiveness doesn’t condone anything he did and it’s not about him — it’s about forgiving him, it’s forgiving myself, it’s allowing myself to...

Mobility and Cloud are very big today. My son who is graduating from high school and does not want a Windows PC. He wants a laptop with Ubuntu Linux. He says most of his friends are saying Windows 8 stinks. I see mobility and cloud continuing to grow and along with Big Data and In Memory...

Yes, that is very important, Ruth. There is an "other side" of the coin and there are testimonies of many that have been helped. Obliviously there was more wrong with these individuals than depression. An antidepressant saved my life, mental illness is a very serious illness, the brain is an...

Thanks for the upgrade. Good job!

Did he call the fiancé/girlfriend of 8 years to console her?
