Grace is not a doctrine , Grace is a person and His name is Jesus. Please reread the thread with that in mind, it might help.

You need to go back and reread all the posts.

Who was James speaking to? Who was his audience?

It's the not understanding of which covenant we are under that is one of the major issues for Christians. Too many pray as Abraham, Genesis 18:30. Abraham, afraid of God even after God told him this, Genesis 18:18 and despite this, it was his faith that God saw him as righteous, Romans 4:3 and...

Ephesians 2:8

There was division in the Apostle Paul's day and there is a division to this present day. Paul did not back down from a no works salvation message. So yes, skip church and don't feed the homeless if that is what you are inclined to do because seriously, there is no condemnation for those in...

Our believing in Jesus Christ makes us justified and Christ has a mountain of faith but if our faith does not meet up with His faith, how can one be justified? Without the faithfulness of Jesus and His atoning work, our faith doesn't amount to a hill of beans. We aren't righteous by our faith...

Does the believer have to carry the old dead man around? Are believers sinners and saints? What does it mean to quench the Holy Spirit? Perhaps a new thread in the debate forum? We may not agree on the answers to these questions. :)

Yes, the old man is dead and that's why when you "sin", it stinks.

Believers, Christians can call themselves "a royal priesthood" too, 1 Peter 2:9. Aaron's priesthood passed through the blood to his sons and a Christian priesthood is through the blood of Jesus. Jesus is our high priest, Hebrews 4:14.

I thought the post was about not sharing and talking about Jesus to other Christians, sorry. I didn't know you were making a reference to witnessing to unbelievers.

You mean emulate as Jesus is/was while the Holy Spirit manifests in you or the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in your life through the gifts/fruits?, 2 Peter 1:8. Do we not as Christians already have a divine nature?, 2 Peter 1:4. Aren't we already like Jesus in this world? 1 John 4:17...

I don't get it...what am I missing here?

Yes, you're right, there is still an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and in my post I never said there wasn't.

We all need others to encourage and support us, to make covenants with, David had Jonathan and Jonathan is our Jesus. For Jonathan's sake, David shows kindness to Mephibosheth and it is for Christ's sake we're forgiven. We all have our Goliath from time to time to overcome but because God is...

We walk by faith not by sight because the just live by faith. Faith is our strength and we want to be strong in faith and not weak and we are promised that our faith can be strong by hearing the word of God. Luke 9:35

Sword wrote, So God picks the odd ones here and there to be healed. Sorry that does not add up. John 5 What about Bethesda, the open air hospital, multitudes sick? Why would Jesus heal just one person? The man that was healed couldn't make it to the pool when the angel stirs the water to get...

Sword wrote, Why did Jesus get on to the deciples for there lack of faith? Because the Cross hadn't happened yet. The disciples were still under the Old Covenant.

Families slept together in the same bed in ancient times.

Amadeus, our feet get dirty walking in this sinful world and we wash each other's feet with the water of the Word, sharing the Good News and talking about Jesus.
