    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    "You need to repent" Those are some of the best words we can choose to understand!!! It can also be some of the most revealing words when they come our your own mouth!! The fact is that Christians need to repent daily and we should understand that if we actually know the Lord!1 The problem...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Yeah - we need to repent for not listening to Him like we should - Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. And that verse comes before Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    If you want I will show you again how the Word of God we preach is found in your mouth!! Which of course you type when you are on this forum. And I can show you how that came from you spirit! And I can explain how the Lord through His Spirit gets that information to your spirit. So I can show...

    Are you Born again? Then here you are.

    This is soooooo sad!! The Scriptures are not the Word of God - Jesus is and that is explained in the Bible!! The Word of God we preach is not the Bible because the Word of God we preach is found in your mouth and in your heart - as explained in the Bible!! The Word of God is not Ink on Pages...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    I don't pretend to know you - but I do use what you write to show you what is going on!! Somehow you think that is knowing you??? It should be showing you about you!! That is indeed how God works!! He shows us about ourselves in order to help understand and improve ourselves, but it we are...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    I went over all this but let me cover the above one by one: Yes - there is a 'generic' issue seen in the churches of God. Note that there is one thing written to all seven of the seven churches written to in Revelation and that is: ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    It is of course amazing that when I point people to Jesus Christ and the fact that we need to listen to Him - they somehow think I am saying I am above them????? I am not saying that at all - l am saying that Jesus Christ is above them so we all need to listen to Him!! Of course, that is what...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    You are absolutely correct in saying that once we have started learning from the Lord our God Jesus Christ, you have to keep returning to Him for more teaching, instruction, inspiration, and even peace - plus more Never-the-less - we don't preach "inspiration and peace"!!!! We preach Jesus...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    If you do hear Him on the days called "Today", you will make it about hearing Him, because He is just that awesome!! Will you read your Bible if you hear from Him? Yeah - the first words I heard from Him were "Read Your Bible" - but if listening to Him you will also know that it is not about...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Below are quotes that look great but show a problem soo many have. Not in the above quote there is a difference made between the Word of God and Jesus! That fact is that Jesus alone is the Word of God!! Indeed "The Word of God is His name!! So the problem is the we don't "fully accept" Jesus...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    No - that was not my conclusion - I used what you wrote to show you how you were wrong. You yourself, with what you wrote proved you wrong. I just pointed it out - and how God also points out to us where we are wrong by the very words that are in our own heart and coming out our own mouth - just...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Yes - mailmandan - It looks like you have it correct. Of course the verses are all correct and you wrote very little to comment about them, and that mostly information out of the Strong's Concordance, so I am not sure what you point is, but I want to comment on the "For by your words you will be...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    I obviously didn't misread it - because I quoted it and pointed out exactly what you wrote!! You wrote it - and I just pointed out to you what you wrote! So it is not my misreading but your understanding of that is going on around you and in you which is the problem!! Let me point something out...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Even look at your question - and the presumptions it makes. I have a Christian church which I currently attend and that because my Lord Jesus Christ tells me to go to that church. Is there a pastor who does some teaching and preaching. Actually, there a number of them because the church the...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Because the Bible explains that you need to know Jesus Christ and that the Lord gives wisdom; and from His mouth comes understanding and knowledge!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at what you actually wrote!!!!! You explain that "I have learned or those who have shepherded me over the years" Look close - you...

    The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel,

    I like the above post: I like the verses and even the bold print and underlining to make your point! That is to say the grace we are save by is a gift of God - and not just anyone grace, but God's grace/unmerited favor! And that gift is not given to us because of any works that we do, but He...

    The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel,

    Ps 78: 1-2 A Maskil of Asaph. Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, One of the things about the Bible is that the Lord has always spoken to people in parables and dark saying that...

    Parables I got from the Lord speaking to me:

    THE MAN THAT LIVED IN A BOX: There was a man that lived in a box, and his whole life he lived in that box. People would come to the door and try to talk to him about the world outside the box, but he loved it inside the box. In the box he could always have things just the way he wanted it, and...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    Paul is not lying and neither is James - but your understanding it wrong. All the verses of the Bible are fine - but people don't listen to the Lord and hear what He has to say - so they miss the fact that real understanding does not come from your leaning on your own understanding...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    We are saved by faith alone - yet the proof of that faith (your being justified as having faith) is that you are doing works according to what Jesus Christ tells you via His Holy Spirit. Not there is, or I should say was, a justification needed even to have God listen to us, which is a...
