    You and I may not agree on everything but at least we agree here.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Those who don't believe that Jesus is God in essence/nature (John 1:1-3, 14) who do they believe Jesus is? God the Father masquerading as Jesus (modalism) or someone else? We have God, we have angels and we have humans. Is there a 4th category that Jesus fits into?

    Faith alone

    If they were talking about two different types of works, then you would have James promoting salvation by works in James 2:24. I have heard numerous folks over the years say Paul and James are talking about two different types of works then afterwards conclude that James is teaching "justified...

    Faith alone

    You have said multiple times that we are not saved by our works which are attempts of the flesh to seek justification but what about good works in general, works of righteousness etc.. Those are not attempts of the flesh to seek justification but works that faith produces. It's obvious that you...

    Faith alone

    I assure you that I am not a cult member. Do you believe that obedience which follows having been saved through faith is the fruit of salvation or the means of it? Trying to establish their own righteousness that comes from the law which is impossible and would take sinless, perfect obedience...

    Faith alone

    There are a lot of folks who teach salvation by faith AND works. They may have a difference in style but it's the same in substance. Any works that we "add" to salvation, through faith, would be vain attempts at self justification (at least in part). These israelites were seeking justification...

    Faith alone

    Yes, we show our faith by our works proving that works are the evidence of faith, but not the essence of faith. We are saved by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Good works are a manifestation of faith, but good works are not the essence of faith or the root of salvation. They...

    Faith alone

    James said show, not establish. James did not say faith "is" works but we do show our faith by our works. People with faith will produce works (some more than others). Works that after being tested by fire turn out to be wood, hay or straw, will be burned, but works that turn out to be gold...

    Faith alone

    I ALREADY COVERED THAT in post #111. I like to read what verses say in context and in harmony with the rest of scripture. Isolating a pet verse out of context and out of harmony with the rest of scripture leads to false doctrine. What else is mentioned with faith in Romans 5:1? Hence, faith...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Do you believe those assassination attempts were bogus?

    Turn off the news sometimes

    Its normal to be concerned with what's going on in the news but we don't need to be consumed by it.

    Faith alone

    I disagree that sheperdsword refuted all of my statements. You see it that way because you also believe that James is teaching salvation by faith and works in contradiction to Paul. (Romans 4:2-6) We have already discussed this many times before. James is simply saying we are justified (shown...

    Faith alone

    So, I only THOUGHT that James said, says/claims to have faith in James 2:14 and I will show you my faith by my works in James 2:18? It's clear to me that James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18)...
