Putting the thread back on track. In two places Jesus said He only came to the lost sheep of Israel (Matt. 10:5-7 and Matt. 15:23-24) Did Jesus lie? Or is main street Christianity lying? In the book of James 1.1 it tells us who James is writing to. Did James lie? Or is main street...

*** Have you sold all you have and given it to the poor???? That was one of His commands.

*** So you think I need to study some more, right??? I became a child of God when I was 9 years old. I have studied the scriptures for over 70 years and I think I know the difference in the works of man and the works of Jesus. What I write in my studies is not what man says. It is what the...

Foreseeing-Beforehand-would justify Galatians 3:6-8 6 just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached...

*** A life long process?????, Not so. 1 Cor 6:11 11 And such """"were""" some of you. But you """WERE""" washed, but you """WERE"""" sanctified, but you """"WERE"""" justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. NKJV And it was not by a person's works.

It is a common error for religious preachers/teachers to assume that the Pauline Gospel of Grace should be blended in with what Jesus and the 11 preached. I feel this is a deadly error that will send many to Hell. - Gal 1:8 NKJV 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other...

Although a child of God will not see the judgement of the un-righteous at the Lake of fire I can't even imagine what those that claimed their works saved them a place in heaven when Jesus says to them. Matt 7:21-23 ___ I Never Knew You (Luke 6:46; 13:26,27) 21 "Not everyone who says to...

It seems, to me, that most are placing their faith in what they do to earn salvation. What seems to be missing is God's work. Those that teach a child of God MUST have works to show their faith have hung the statement of James that “faith without works is dead” around the necks of those “IN...

*** And it seems you will argue with a post too. When Jesus came the Jews were under the law. We are not under the law.. We are under grace. But it seems you would rather be under the law.

*** Jesus came to the Jews who were under the law of Moses. We, today, are under grace. But like so many you can't see the difference.

*** We haven't agreed on anything. My faith is in the work of Jesus on the cross where He paid for all my sins and it seems the works crowd will only have faith in their own works. Want to keep this up????

*** That applies to you too.

*** Why would I refute it? It was your statement of where you have placed your faith. You said in """TAKING UP YOUR CROSS"". That means your faith is in what you do. Plain and simple. To late bb, your words are recorded as being where you have placed your faith and it wasn't in what Jesus...

*** In what you wrote did you tell me where YOU have paced your faith? I don't seem to see it. What I want to see is your personal statement of where you have placed your faith. Come on, surly you know what you have placed your faith in. I think my time on this thread is running out. You...

I have nothing else to say to you. You have told me who you are by saying your faith is in your works of taking up a cross. Since you do not give the credit for your salvation to Jesus you are, IMO, just another religious man who loves your own religious works..

Thank you for your opinion but I don't share it. If your faith is not in Jesus' work on the cross it is an empty faith because the only thing left is faith in yourself. What I see on this thread is a constant attack on my faith in God and I see no reason to continue. What I have already seen...

*** So you are saying that to believe Jesus paid for your sins is easy believism. Okay. I will ask you the same question I asked bb. Tell me in what do you place your faith? You say your works prove your faith so you ought to be able to tell me your answer.

*** I asked you what you have placed your faith in and you told be it was in what you do """T0 PICK UP YOUR CROSS"" In my view that means your faith is in what you do; your works. It can't be taken any other way. The difference in your faith and mine is that mine is in the work of God and...

I thought so. You left out faith in God's work on the cross where the sins of all were paid for by His shed blood. You do not believe that since you say you have to ask for forgiveness of your sins. Why? Don't you really believe Jesus' shed blood paid for them. Yes, that is what I see...

So the thief on the cross was not saved because he certainly didn't have time to do good works. I have said, over and over and over that I have placed my faith, belief, trust, confidence in Jesus' shed blood on the cross. You say that is not enough. But you are not God. What I see in your...
