    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Only is it was that simple it's not, we wouldn't need all this Bible is was that simple. Grace is nothing more than a free gift. And that free gift is our access back to the tree of life (Jesus) which Adam caused us to lose by disobeying God. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Not leaving anything out, because the wages of sin is death. Paul says in (Rom. 4:15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. If there is no law there is no sin. No! Paul went into the synagogue every Sabbath because it is the law. (1John 3:4) Whosoever...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I agree when Jesus died on the cross that was the end of the first covenant, which consisted of the blood of animals and the keeping of God’s commandments. And his death also brought in the second covenant, which consist of the blood of Jesus and the keeping of God’s commandments. Paul says in...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I think I do, you may believe I'm in a cult because I believe what the Bible teaches. Throughout the bible I find that in order to receive eternal salvation we must keep God's commandments to the end. If we make a mistake we must not give up, but I press toward the mark for the prize of the high...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    This is the problem right here. God had Peter to clearly warn us about some of Paul’s writing. (2Peter:3:15-16) (v.15) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; (v.16) As also...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I'm not understanding the point of this, is you do what God is telling you to do, you will reap the benefits. Paul says in Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. You wouldn’t know what sin was if there was no law. Paul says in (Rom...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Paul says in Romans 8: 4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. That righteousness of the law Paul is talking about here is the Commandments of God. So if you walking in the spirit you walking in the law, and one of those...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    There no place in the word of God that will tell you that. Christ is not the one who keeps the law through us, you have to keep the law, you.... not Christ. Jesus did his part, now you have to do yours. A man asked Jesus this very question, "...What good thing shall I do that I may have eternal...

    Faith with works is believing with obedience

    Thank you for understanding, but let me show you an example of how these two laws work together back in the days of Moses. We will see there were two laws given to Moses, they were the commandments and the sacrificial law. Watch how they worked together. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Yes I am, I'm pretty good at it. You are adding your believe to the word of God. A lot scriptures and verses are clear and clean to understand. The bible says, we must not only be a hearer of the word, but a doer of the word also (James 1:21-22). DON'T FOOL YOURSELF! If we really have faith in...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I agree with Paul when he says ...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12). According to the Bible the church is God's people who are Israelites. Paul says in Romans 9: 1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    That's not true, you always have a choice in the matter, and that's what you need to understand. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I understand, you believe you have a calling from God, now that calling is between you and God, the same way Paul had a calling. What you fell to understand is that, you still have to keep the Commandments, statues and Judgments, fruits of the spirits and maintain good works. Throughout the...

    Faith with works is believing with obedience

    Paul talks about two types of laws, works, and deaths. Most people get confuse or taught that both laws are the same, or do not understand how they use to work together. When the bible speaks of laws we no longer have to keep, it is speaking of the sacrificial laws and Priesthood laws. These...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Let's see if Paul see it that way in (1 Cor. 9:24-27) (v.24) Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (v.25) And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Paul says in (1Tim. 6:17-19) (v.17) Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (v.18) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to...

    Faith with works is believing with obedience

    Naw, my sentences needs no structural tweaking, but yes your are correct the words came from Peter. For example Jesus says in John 14: 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Keeping of God’s holy laws that separates the righteous from the unrighteous and the Saints from the Sinners. (Titus: 3:8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Understand, all sins lead to death, and you can repent, but there's a sin unto death you cannot repent. Paul says in Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let's go a little further in 1 John 2: 1 My little children, these...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    No. The only thing is new is Jesus sacrificing himself of the sins of the world. Let's go into Hebrews 10: (v.10) By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same...
