James 5:15-16 KJV And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. [16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man...

Well I had no initial deep revelation. That comment I made wasn't really a big deal. "Fault", "sin".... Ok. Whatever. But there is a difference between fault and sin. Most pertinent faults are sins. Not all.. But most.

Here's my initial post. I just wanted to bring it up to the present. Its my opinion that James 5:16 saying faults or sins isn't really an important part of my reply other than I mentioned that "faults" is the word used in the Bible I read (which happens to be the KJV).

Well no. Its not a first and it won't be the last. Yes, I have a lot of opinions on a wide range of topics. This one I didn't. I'm simply pointing out what it (yes the KJV) says. Not really an opinion. Thats what the bible says. Yes. The KJV. Thus its not an opinion since I noted a...

I don't have an opinion on what he meant.

Its what James said to confess one to another.

I don't understand ehy everyone is so concerned about criteria or who's voting... Its ratings! Gosh darn it!

Fasting is supposed to be done in secret as prescribed in Matt 6. So maybe lots are and just not telling. I doubt it cause it also says to pray and give in secret and plenty don't do that. Personally I believe not many fast anymore because it makes the beast angry (the one behind your belly...

First, there was no "king Tyre". Hiram I was the king of Tyre when David and Solomon were kings. Again, because their reign was several hundred years before the prophecies of Ezekiel, I don't see how they are relevant. Well ok. I'm fine with that. I gave a couple of different possibilities...

The first thi g that jumps out at me is that you seemed to have confused David with Daniel. Eze 28:3 mentions Daniek, not David. David and Hiram were indeed contempories, but in around 1000 BC. Ezekiel was contemporary with Nebuchazzer as well as Daniel sometime in the mid 600's BC. So its...

Wait.... We will see.

It doesn't surprise me that you said this. I agree... Definitely not the most pertinent topic in the Bible. But to me and obviously to KAM, its interesting. In studying this I have been blessed to see extrabiblical history and geography tied into bible prophecy... And the geography of Tyre is...

I sincerely doubt anyone will agree with me... But the Prince and/or King of Tyre were not fallen angels. They were mere mortal men. I have been in debates and discussions about this plenty of times. Never has anyone convinced me otherwise and I don't know that I have convinced anyone of my...

Desiring? Wanting? Requiring? That better? God put forth a plan. He declared it from the beginning and tge children od God are involved. I suppose he couod scrap all those plans.... But I don't rhink he will. Well... You, me, everyone on this board and every human ob this planet are...

We are actually on the same page with this issue, Enoch. Paul spoke by permission. So when he says its not a commandment, thats by inspiration also. Thus, you have to recognize when Paul is giving a personal opinion, its endorsed by God... As a peraonal opinion and not a commandment. 1 Cor...

Haven't read The Screwtape Letters in years! CS Lewis is great! There is a vile of false humility. I believe in being humble and humiliating the flesh. But being humble means realizing God is greater, and you are a sinner on equal grounds. Humiliating the flesh comes down to one thing...

I agree with those that point out that this was Paul's opinion; not a commandment from God. Paul is unique in this as he often let it be known he was giving his personal opnion. Two things here... 1st: it strengthens everything else he said. 2nd: Paul was a man of God and he spoke with...

Don't have time for a lengthy response but I lake Bygraces answer. Here's a couple of more scriptures to consider: Proverbs 15:1-2 KJV A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. [2] The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out...

I like what you wrote, but I don't know that I would say those things "take a back seat". Maybe thats just an idiom! I look at it as part of carrying our own crosses and following Jesus. Of course, what you do in Church, what you lear in the teaching and what you say in your prayers should...

I don't have too much of a problem with it... I may not understand the Catholic point of view totally. James said to confess your faults (not sins) one to another. Jesus talked about being reconciled with your brother if you have a problem with him. Whether or not it is really true, the...
