Well, I have to say I'm ignorant of their teachings except for the JW's. They used to come to my door on Saturday morning. I'd tie them in knots. Not because I am so brilliant, but because they aren't used to talking to someone with a foundational knowledge. I at least do have that. My wife...

Huh? People are contemplating if Satan exists? Am I misunderstanding something? I obviously didn't look at a particular thread.... Yes, Satan exists.

Well thank you. Glad you finally see it. It was a time of transition. James was behind the times and never caught up... At least not in his writing. He and his followers were reluctant to let go of the law. This is not my opinion. Its shown in Acts 15, Acts 21, Gal 2 and by his own...

Right Twinc... And H. Richard has been pointing it out for quite some time. So I appreciate you saying so. You also brought up something I have heard before but never read personally. That is James's death. Its not in the Bible, but I have heard similar tales that James was thrown off a...

I certainly don't think it hurts. We know that Paul counted his but dung, but in actuality he spoke at least 2 languages and was very well read; not only in scripture but also in philosophy. That had ro hekp him relate to the gentiles. On the other hand, Peter had no formal educatuon and some...

Aspen I also want to make another comment: James was writing to the 12 tribes which were scattered abroad. This is known to us because he said so in verse 1:1. It was written for us to read and understand. I am hoping you undertand or at least acknowledge the difference between something...

Aspen Romans 4 and Eph 2 both speak of faith without works. They aren't the inly ones, but I consider them the strongest.

I must admit this may not be entirely true. Everything that I said happened is true. James was their leader as twinc pretty much noted. To further the point Paul spoke with James in Acts 21. The elders were present but the conversation was between James and Paul. And from the mouth of...

Of course they were. What's your point? There are differences between Judiasm and Christianity. I did not anticipate anyone not understanding this. That's really not hard to find an answer to. Accepting Christ and who he is IS that cut off point. James 1:1. By the way... I thought this...

Well the question contains its own answer. Its in faith. God accounts faith and calls things that are not as though they were. By faith we are called righteous, perfected, sons of God, sanctified, glorified, no longer in the flesh, holy and to boot, we know all things! Yet, by the flesh we...

Thats not an easy question because he could have drastic mood swings. He loved his disciples and calked them his friends (and showed it at times) but then could sharply and harshly rebuke them. He was a friend of publicans and sinners but rarely was kind to the pharisees because of their self...

I never lie. Whoops! Darn it, that was my first one ever! And there was my second! People inadvertently lie every day. They look in their closet and say I don't have a thing to wear (while stairing at all their clothes). They say they are bored and don't have anything to do. The begger on...

Love The Lord with all thine heart.

Gave you a like... But I am cautious about it. I do not despise preachers having money if they are good stewards. In the OT God gave HIS portion to the Levite and also left the levite with responsibilities. I have seen Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes and the late Gene Scott (whom I have great repect...

You are not going to stop sonething that God has ordained. But we can through prayer ask that it work for good.

Very nice. Worthy of a bump.

Is there a difference between Judiasm and Christianity?

Yes. Whom is it that Paul reported to when he got there? I don't know why you would google it when I told you where it was in the Bible... But anyway... I had no problems finding it on Google.

Absolutely not! Jews who are converting to Christanity should believe the message Paul preached. Grace through faith and not of works. If they believe otherwise, they are of like mind of those who had Paul arrested and shipped off to Rome. Payl said that we are all onr blood, that there is...
