Iron sharpens iron. No one is a lone ranger in christianity.

I don't doubt that antifa had a hand in it, but looks like a mix of extremists and some people just pulled in by mob mentality from my POV.

Nobody is saying faith is merely an emotion. No one is saying that faith won't produce changes in a person. I attended plenty of churches that taught some kind of works salvation. And it's never answered: How many works are enough to merit salvation? Do I need to give my body to be burned or...

Notice that in Matthew 25:34 Jesus said, “the kingdom prepared for them.” This means that the people are already believers. In verse 37 Jesus says, “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You drink?'” They are...

I have not heard anything indicating that Trump told anyone to commit violence... And the OP is correct, this would be called a mostly peaceful protest if It were not a crowd of conservatives.

Btw, yes all true faith will produce works. But no work contributes anything to salvation, rather it's a result of salvation.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Galatians 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Galatians 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.” Romans 8:3 For...

Ok, what difference are you speaking of?

Weak response. You didn't even answer the important part. The reason Jesus thought Nicodemus should know how a Jew being born again would work, is because he was a teacher and had the Torah. Symbolic language in Ezekiel is the norm, it's full of symbolism. Also note that the disciples and...

Totally missed the point. We are only saved through grace by faith. If we were saved by works, we would have something to boast about.

Consider the context of that quote: Ezek. 36:22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. Ezek. 36:23 “I will vindicate...

Seriously, you don't even read my posts. I already told you what I was replying to there. if you can't go back and find it, forget this conversation. Because you aren't following it.

Exactly. Yes, we need to be obedient. No, obedience doesn't save us and not one obeys perfectly. In order to be saved by obeying, we would have to be as perfect as Jesus. No one has ever done that, so no one can be saved under your theory.

I did answer... I read Many different sources but make up my own mind.

These things were obviously not Christian baptism, which didn't exist. He was explaining how salvation is obtained by God washing us clean and us being born anew. Baptism is a symbol of something already accomplished.

What is the Lord's will? Because it wasn't.

Never hook your faith up to a political figure, not matter how charismatic he is. God isn't in the business of fixing everything so we can have everything our way. We brought this on ourselves by our sin and poor judgment. Pray that God has mercy on this nation, but don't expect him to just fix...

Go back and look at what I replied to...I'm assuming it was some Catholic book.

Sooo, Jesus was baptized. Think about that for a moment. Are you trying to tell me that Jesus was saved by Being dipped in water? Jesus was already God, he didn't need to be saved. So, why do it? For the same reason that people do today, to make a public statement about their faith. According to...
