Spiritually, I am in Christ and Christ is in heaven. Physically I am still here on the sinful planet in my unredeemed Adamic body, Romans 8:23. If that is what you are saying I agree with you. The Christian life is a fight, but knowing what Jesus has accomplished for us gives us peace and rest.

Any religious thing that you do is a work. God does not accept the works or the obedience of sinners, if he did that would make him a sinner. God only accepts the works and the obedience of Jesus Christ. We are accepted only in him and because of him. It appears to me that you are going to be...

No, the Jews selected 613 for the Torah, the ones that they liked, but there are more like 2,000 laws and rules in the Old Testament. The Jews do know the law, this is why they stay in bed on the Sabbath.

Doctrine does not save anyone. The savior is Jesus Christ. Jesus saves and he saves to the uttermost, Hebrews 7:25.

How could anyone take Colossians 2:10 out of context. It very simply says... "You are complete in him". If we are complete in Christ that kind of screws your Catholic religion.

If you had some scripture it would be very helpful. I don't know about you, but I am already experiencing his rest. Before I discovered the Gospel and justification by faith, I was down at the church 5 days of a week, trying to be good enough to be saved.

If we are justified by faith plus works then we are still in our sins and without hope. You can't believe in faith alone because you don't have faith in Christ. You want to believe that God accepts the works and the obedience of sinners. This would make God a sinner.

Jesus is the beginning and the ending of all things. The Alpha and the Omega, Revelation 1:8. Don't know what you mean by the "rightly divided". Spiritually, we are complete in him, Colossians 2:10.

What did Paul mean when he said, "The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation"? Romans 1:16. While Jesus was dying on the cross a lot of things were happening. One of the greatest things that was happening is that Jesus was defeating sin, death and the devil and was reconciling us and the...

Religion is about you and your works. The Gospel is about Jesus Christ and his work. God does not accept the religious works of man because man is a sinner, Romans 3:10. God only accepts the works of Jesus Christ; we are accepted only in him and because of him. You will probably find that...

The Catholic church is works happy. If you don't do the works, then you think that you are lost. The scripture says, "For he that has entered into his rest, he also HAS CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS as God did from his" Hebrews 4:9. You are not able to cease from your own works because it is not...

As far as our salvation goes "It is finished". Jesus has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil, making us complete in him, Colossians 2:10. Having provided salvation for the whole world, he now sits in heaven as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Revelation 19:16.

I am for sure not going to believe the pope. You know, the guy that embraced that demonic religion called Islam. What are you going to do when you find out that salvation was by faith alone, because it is by Christ alone?

You have misrepresented truth as being contemptible. I am not contemptible. Unfortunately, many are offended by the Gospel and justification by faith apart from the works of the law. Religion is a curse, Galatians 3:10. All of the religious Pharisees went to hell. Catholics will be in the...

I don't have to judge anyone. The scriptures do the judging.

Entering into his rest means to cease from your own works and religion and rest in what Christ has accomplished in our name and on our behalf. We are complete in him, Colossians 2:10.

Doctrine does not save. What saves is the doing and the dying of Jesus. If you want to be saved you will have to trust in him alone for your salvation, plus nothing.

Read the 23rd chapter of Matthew and see what Jesus said to those law loving, Christ rejecting Jews. Maybe you believe that Jesus needed to correct his attitude?

What made Martin Luther famous is that he was a Catholic monk that stood up against the oppressive Catholic church. There were many that believed the Gospel and justification by faith before Martin Luther, but they didn't want to take on the Catholic religion because it could cost them their...

James did not understand Paul's Gospel. I believe that he learned it at a later date. The book of James is more Jewish than it is Christian. Why would James want to circumcise Gentile believers? Acts 15:1-21. Why did James send men to spy on Peter and Barnabas? 2:11-16.
