I appreciate what you are trying to convey, but I dont believe that i am a member of the 'body of christ' Jesus words in his sermon on the mount....'the meek shall inherit the earth' for instance tell us that there will be a place on earth for his followers....obviously he wasnt refering to...

I agree that it was the Jews who were offered seats in the Kingdom of God. But there are two things to consider. first, lets say all the jew of Jesus day accepted him and became his disciples....how could millions of them fit into the 144,000 seats set aside in heaven? Rev 14:1 Obviously...

I have to admit that im failing completely to comprehend what you are trying to say. If what you are saying is that we should only acknowledge and accept Pauls teachings, then tell me what are we to do with Jesus teachings? And tell me what are we to do with the Gospel accounts? And tell...

But Paul was not the sole dispenser of Gods grace to the nations. Peter also played a role in that for he was the first one to baptize a gentile. I regard all of the writings of the NT as inspired and relevant for christians to obey and comprehend....not just the writings of Paul alone...

then you are one of the lucky ones privileged to read the bible in both Greek and Hebrew Thankfully we have the work of scholars who have shared their knowledge of these languages with us so that we can also understand what was originally written.

I dont think that no one agrees with your OP. You are correct to say that we are not saved by works...thats true and its what Paul preached. But the problem is that there needs to be some balance and thats where James and John come into the picture. They both taught that christianity is as...

yes, you could do that. Or you could do some research and take advantage of the many reference works available from those who already know the languages.

The general greek word for 'words spoken' is rhe′ma. But when a word comes from God such as one spoken through a prophet, in greek it is always lo'gos. There are only a few places where Lo′gos is a title given to Jesus Christ (Joh 1:1, 14; Re 19:13) in both his pre-human existence when he was...

not at all....im saying that I cant imagine that God would be pleased to see someone judge one of his inspired writers as a boaster. Considering we are told not to even be judging each other, how much more-so should we not be judging an inspired writer? Unless you dont believe that James is...

wow, thats a mighty call to make. I cant imaging that your judging an inspired writer as a 'boaster' would sit well with God. I think i'll leave you with the Apostle Johns words and leave it at that. 1 John 3: 16 "By this we have come to know love, because that one surrendered his soul for...

as James said James 2:15-17 "If a brother or a sister is in a naked state and lacking the food sufficient for the day, 16 yet a certain one of YOU says to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and well fed,” but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it? 17 Thus, too...

No, I dont think it pertains to time at all. In Exodus 3:13-14 is the first time we see the expression found in most translations as 'I AM' That expression is only found in the versions translated from Latin: e′go sum qui sum, “I am Who I am.” However, translations made from the hebrew...

yes, thats a good idea.

Perhaps if christians were not so involved in politics as they are, the governments would not feel the need to silence them as they seem to be doing.

its not impossible for us to be nice. Its not impossible for us to show love. Its not impossible for us to make decisions in accord with what we know to be right and wrong according to Gods standards. Of course we are still sinners and I dont think i ever implied that we were not.....but...

all hebrew names are representative of the person they belong to. the name Jacob means 'seizing the heel' because when born, Jacob was holding the foot of Esau. the name Esau mean 'hairy' because Esau had a lot of hair on his body Abraham means 'father of a crowd' because he was chosen to be...

Hi Selene, Yes of course Jesus can be called a king. Even earthly people are called 'kings' so the fact that Jesus is called a king in no way puts him on par with Jehovah. Even the kings of Isreal were said to sit on Jehovahs throne... God can put anyone he likes on the throne and in the past...

no, satan was promoting independence...that is how he tempted eve. They could become like God by making their own decisions. Doing good and living a godly life is not 'paying' for salvation. To please God we need to act in the way God acts and think the way he thinks about things. Does he...

No, i dont agree that Gods plan of salvation relies solely on believing in Jesus. Christians must prove that they are children of God by living the sort of life which reflects (in a limited way of course) that we desire to abide in his love. To abide in his love means we must live in such a...

all that Jesus taught includes his instructions about the new covenant and its requirements. Thru the apostles, christians were clearly told that the mosaic law was not a requirement any longer...that Christ had nailed it to the torture stake. The law of the Christ was a new commandment based...
