That seems to contradict the saying that faith without works is a dead faith unable to bring life or salvation.

When Jesus was taken up by the clouds in Acts 9:9, he was taken to the father in clouds fulfilling the Daniel prophecy. His second coming will be the fulfillment of Acts 9:11. Leave in clouds, go to the father. Leave in clouds, return to the earth. Pretty simple.

Uh no. If your opening premise is fallacious, the rest of your argument will be fraudulent as well. Just because you say something is so doesn't make it so. The bible does indeed state the Jesus has received a kingdom, and by logical extension is currently ruling and reigning: I saw in the...

You admit Jesus has received a kingdom, so that means he is reigning. It is self-contradictory to state that someone has been made king, yet is not reigning. Also you are assuming that Christ is only in heaven. Jesus is in heaven, but his body is on earth through whom he reigns. He is not...

I missed it completely. I see green when I think about lentils.

All of the virgins slumbered and slept, which means they died a physical death. The wise virgins overcome the world. When they are resurrected they will have eternal life (holy spirit, oil) within them. The foolish virgins are overcome by the world. When they are resurrected they will still be...

Again, this whole thing hinges on what the sabbath referred to in Leviticus 23:11 was. If it was the weekly sabbath, then 3 full days and nights works. If it was the first day of unleavened bread then we have to assume '3 days and 3 nights' is an idiom. Since we don't know what the sabbath...

Just wait and abide in him. You have a lot of deep needs right now, and want release from some difficult hurt. Sometimes we just have to accept the hurt because there's really nothing else we can do. He knows the pain. Maybe we can only really know him when we know some of the pain. I don't...

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Acts 28:27

Except ye abide in the vine ye cannot bear fruit. The works of faith are putting to death the old man so that we do abide and do bear fruit. We are active participants in that work. That is our sanctification.

Do you not have any sense? It's really hard for me to believe that somebody can be so obtuse regarding something so obvious.

More BS. Can you please tell me what organization you are affiliated with, or what man you follow, or what books you read that taught you this?

Define believer.

Oh my! OH MY! I'm keeping an eye on you to call BS when I see it. I love my GOD's word, and despise those who misuse it.

Your scriptures don't prove anything. You're a scripture monkey.

Exactly.

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be...

More BS.

The motivation is to not have one's spirit quenched. Faith without works is dead. Concerning saving ourselves: Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Timothy 4:16 Those who deny Christ through...
