Ok so we have wavicles? It is truly said that works accompany true faith, but that does not mean they are the same does it?

And so the promise and explanation of God's mystery continues... Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, (future...

My 2¢. In order to forgive others as Christ forgave us, we must first believe and receive His forgiveness.given freely to us. Notice the first part 'Christ forgave us' is objective and is true whether we believe it or not. The 2nd part 'we must first believe and receive' is subjective and is...

I wont charge apostasy to those who hold to replacement theology but they do hold the seeds. The 2nd and 3rd century fathers many used a form of allegorizing the Scripture (as oppoosed to a more literal approach) and this practice easily leads to errors such as 'replacement' theology. I am...

The thought that God Incarnate would die for us His ungrateful creatures makes me tremble when I grumble to do a little extra when called upon.

#1 the dismal economy has put a real damper on that yesteryear prosperity heresy. I think #2 halloween is just a symptom of the rising popularity of witchcraft today which is a truer mark of apostacy. #3 is truly the biggie with the growing anti semitism in the world today and the...

So let me get this straight. Adam's body 'possibly' is the product of an evolutionary process whereas Eve's body was more or less quickly formed from Adam's side.? In any case I can see where someone has sided with the liberal theologians in denying the literalness of Scripture. Is Genesis...

Perhaps in the naming, 'pairs' of animals were seen (male and female) making it apparent the 'singleness' and/or 'lonliness' of Adam.

Sura 112:2 Allah, the eternally Besought of all! 3 He begets not nor was begotten. To exchange the name of God for Allah would be self defeating. For the Muslim, Allah has no son. For us God gave His only unique Son. There is no middle ground and to compromise on this point runs the danger...

"Are we created to work?" Is faith a noun or a verb?

Can someone translate or at least paraphrase 2027's post?

God brought to Adam the animals in order for Adam to name them (part of the 'dominion' promise), it had nothing to do with 'showing show him that they were unsuitable'. From there your straw house logic breaks down.

In a sense no one follows Him accurately, unless you mean we acknowledge ourselves as law breeakers/sinners and receive the FREE GIFT of His Righteousness. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. (Rom...

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? (Gal 3:3) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (Rom 6:22) For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto...

No, I am simply defending Luther against Rome's attack on justification through faith alone apart from works/law.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Php 2:12-13)

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired...

I agree, it is self evident, Luther didn't need to except that Rome kept denying the obvious and since She still holds to the Council of Trent, She still denies 'by faith alone'. Actually the more exact expression is 'by grace alone, through faith alone'.

So, greater is he who is in the world than He who is in us? I think the true church is in Christ although to varying degrees they are mesmerized by Babylon.

Putting these two verses together justifies his word 'alone'. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom 1:17) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the...
