Faith and Works: Paul vs. James One of the thorniest textual problems any Christian can face is the apparent contradiction between Paul and James. Is justification by faith, as Paul claims, or by works, as James seems to say? This problem actually has a very simple solution. ....Whenever one...

What you are not getting here is that I have a living faith. My living faith in Christ's sacrifice as payment for the sins of those who will be forgiven is composed of the belief that it is true and my desire to be like him in doing good works because of my faith. IF YOUR FAITH PRODUCES NO...

The Faith that Christ spoke of was not simply one of belief. Christ showed us a living faith where God's children love him in their heart and in their actions and they love their neighbors as themselves. Such a faith contains good works because it is alive. To assert that you have faith and yet...

I believe you have stated a mouthful right there. Man shall live by every word of the mouth of God. Tell me what sins are you allowed to keep commiting if your saved?

Christ sacrificed himself to pay for the sins that are to be forgiven. Sins and sinning did not go away they were expanded. It used to be that a man could look on a woman to lust her and not be held accountable since he justified himself in that he obeyed the commandment and did not touch her...

An amazing demonstration of the perfect answer. Maybe intent is an important thing to God. Maybe we as professing Christians are expected to perform ---Godly acts---. Christ was our example of words and actions in one Man and he did Godly works of good founded on faith for the benefit of...

There are indeed several types of works found in the bible and they can be described in two ways; 1) Works performed according to the law for the covering of sin and 2) Faith based works. In order to understand why there is no contradiction in Gods word requires one to rightly divide it. In the...

Because the Holy spirit is a representative of the Father doing the job that the Father sent him to do so, if you disrespect the messenger like they did in scripture by asserting that Christ had an unclean spirit then you have in fact disrespected the Father. God sends his ministering spirits...

ByGrace there is much that the helper seeks to reveal and correct in the minds of men.... "Thou shalt live by every word of the mouth of God" and according to Christ; John 5:19Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he...

If God wanted their image to be viewed as a trinity by their creation then why did they declare that their image was to be represented as two? Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the...

I have no human helper for interpretation this is probably why I seem odd to you. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Job 34:1414 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his...

There are a number of current religious sects that demand that a "Christian" must accept specific tenets (that you can't find in scripture) or else you are not considered a Christian nor can you be saved and would thus be labeled a heretic. Can anyone name any of those specific tenets?

God showed us through scripture that he breathed life into us from themselves so, you can deny his scriptural depiction as you wish but, the facts according to God is that they did not create life... I have simply pointed you to the scripture they inspired. You have the God given freedom to do...

I would say that we should not describe God beyond what God has stated in scripture. God describes himself as Spirit, Light, Love, a consuming fire and several other things but he doesn't say supernatural. From my own perspective I would not try to apply any description to God other than what...

I would say my English was clear and these two verses are quite clear; Gen 2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. (not commanded into existence) All life came directly from the Father. Even now Christ is; 1 Cor 15:45..... a...

Do you think it is ok to give a human made / understood description for God?

Psalm 89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. I don't see a word about God being "supernatural" in that verse. Are you attempting to describe God with a human defined understanding based on a scriptural description...

lol. I can count on you to be there for the right thought at the right time. imagine bringing some people from lets say medieval times to the present.... and flicking a light switch.... we would be super natural to them... and then we would be considered witches and they would try to burn us at...

where in scripture does it assert that God is "supernatural"

I quoted the scripture in reference to my words so it is plain to read.
