    *** You gave reasons that are not supported by the scriptures. -- ""Hmmm..the following scriptures backs up this assertion, that Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to establish the law within our hearts. The law written in our hearts:"" --- The above is what I replied too. The above is your...

    *** What is it that we have that overcomes to world??? 1 John 5:4-5 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? NKJV ------ now...

    Was James confused?

    *** What people refuse to see is that '''IF''' you are under the Law of Moses you have to do the works of the Law or your faith is dead. James was writing to Jews who were under the Law James 1:1. Why do people keep trying to put those under grace under the Law of Moses?

    Was James confused?

    *** Look, it is plain to me that James was writing to Jews who were under the law of Moses. He said so in James 1:1. For people to insist that what James wrote was to the grace church is to refuse the truth and try to establish a lie.

    *** So you say He came to do what????? The scriptures tell us why He came and it isn't what you say. Paul said: Rom 15:8 (NKJ) 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

    The Great Apostacy

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy This is the background of Christ's instruction to Gentiles (through Paul) during the dispensation [age] of grace. 1 Cor 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me [Paul], as a wise masterbuilder, “”I”” have laid the foundation, and another...

    *** You are right. We do not justify ourselves by our works. We are justified by the Spirit of God. 1 Cor 6:11-12 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. 12 All things are...

    Was James confused?

    face2face, why is it that you discount what Paul writes to the world when it was Jesus that gave him the gospel of grace for the world? Jesus, by His own words, said He ONLY came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Don't you believe Him? What He taught was to those under the Law of...

    Was James confused?

    *** Like many on forums you want me to defend your statement that is something I never said. That is not right. What I said was that the book of James was written to the Jews only. It said so in the very first verse James 1:1. Check it out! James was writing to Jews who were under the Law...

    Whose lying?

    *** The only sin that condemns in this age of God's grace is the sin of unbelief. To not believe Jesus has already paid for the person's sins of the flesh. Faith + nothing. Do not be deceived. God knows those that have placed their faith in Him and His work on the cross. Eph 2:7-9 7 that...

    Was James confused?

    *** And who is the judge of child of God's actions caused by faith? Men preaching the law? I agree that Paul did a work of faith and that he spread the gospel of grace over the world after it was revealed to him, which, of course the religious mixed with the requirements of works in order to...

    Whose lying?

    *** According to the scriptures those "IN CHRIST" have been, (already accomplish), set free of their sinful nature of the flesh. A person's efforts to not sin will not get them into heaven. It took the work of God on the cross. Accept it; Jesus has already paid for the sins of the whole...

    Whose lying #2

    *** If a person sees that it is a lie then they are responsible to know it is a lie and search for the truth. To continue to believe the lie when they have the the truth starring them in the face is the way to ignorance

    Whose lying #2

    *** Religion is defined as what mankind does for the god they worship. This has been to result of men of religion who want to put a yoke around the necks of people. Religious people want a label of the name "Christian" so they can BOX others into it. Paul's converts to grace were the first...

    OSAS....IT IS FINISHED

    *** Why do you keep this up? Do you really believe Jesus died for Satan.

    Whose lying #2

    *** Just thank God that He has made a way for sinners to be saved and it is a free gift. By the way, sin is sin whether you think it is willful or not.

    *** So your action of picking them up is your testimony. The problem is that if you have to pick them up to believe they are there you do not have any faith that they are there. Faith is knowing they are there without having to prove they are there. What is faith: - It is said that faith is...

    Whose lying #2

    Isa 53:4-6 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All...

    Was James confused?

    *** I see you want to include man's works in order to have salvation. That is not what I believe. When Jesus said it is finished it was finished. Everything necessary for salvation was accomplished on the cross. But a person has to place their faith (+ nothing) in His work, not the works of...

    *** Good answer. Without Paul's gospel of grace all of mankind would be in a very hot place.
