*** Better read James 1:1 again. The book was written to the Jews, not those under grace.

*** I used the definitions in my old college dictionary, 1951 edition. It does not list meaning as you stated which shows that the meaning of the word has been enlarged since then. When I was in grade school studying history we read where people developed their religions. You may be...

The children of God are not called to debate what is worship or not. They are called to be fruitful and add to the children of God by witnessing that it is by faith in Jesus' work on the cross that saves.

*** I disagree with the idea that the Christian Church started at Pentecost. The Christian Church was founded for both the Jews and the Gentiles. But it is a scriptural fact that Peter did not understand that the Gentiles were to be included. Only Paul gave us the true message to build the...

*** Sword, I did not see any mention of music in the O.P. Where did you see it?

*** A true Christian (a child of God) is one that has placed all, all, all their belief, faith, trust, confidence in the work of God on the cross where Jesus atoned (paid) for all the sins of the world. To put it in simple words faith in what Jesus did on the cross to pay for the person's sins...

Religion = what mankind practices in order to please the god they think exists. It is a practice of things (works and rituals) they think will please their God and make them acceptable. In the dictionary the word “religion” is defined as what man does for the God they think exists. However...

*** This is an open forum and anyone can reply to a post. It is by faith that the children of God believe the gospel message of faith; that salvation was obtained for all men/women who place their faith in the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. Heb 11:6-7 6 But without faith it is impossible to...

*** So it is not by faith but by seeing??? There is no need to place faith in what you see. It is said that faith is not faith unless it has works as a result. Many use the statement “you have to reach out and take it” as an example of having to do the work of taking the free gift of...

*** The churches today are dying because of unbelief in the message of grace. All people are hearing is a message of rule keeping (the Law). Grace sets people free from the law of sin and death but the religious only burden them to the law. It should be noticed that the world is getting more...

All scriptures are from the NKJV Romans 8:1-11 --- Free from Indwelling Sin (this does not mean we have no sins in/of the flesh. It means we are set free from the condemnation of our sins) 1 There is therefore now (present tense) no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not...

*** 2 Tim 2:15 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. NKJV If it was meant to be to the Gentiles too then the Holy Spirit would not have said it was to the Jews only. The book of James was writen to...

*** When a person places their faith in Jesus work on the cross they are following the commandment given to Paul, for us, under grace. The question is this, are we saved today by law keeping or by faith in the one that kept it for us? The book of John is still law keeping. It is a record of...

*** Why do religious people use James to put those under grace under the law. Are they blind to James 1:1? Yes they are. Even though the Holy Spirit told James to write James 1:1 they refuse to accept that James was writing to the Jews who were under the Law. In Acts 21.20 we see that James...

The Religious mind will always find something in which to burden the hearts of others. But grace is not rule keeping. The religious simply will not accept that all the sins of people were (past tense) atoned for on the cross when Jesus shed His blood to pay for them. They want others to...

It was necessary that speaking in tongues at the beginning was meant to help spread the word to those of different nations. But when time brought about the ability of men to translate languages and to put things in print it is no longer needed. 1 Cor 13:8 8 Love never fails. But whether there...

*** Why would I waste my time trying to explain anything to you. You have made up your mind about it. I took all the scriptures that used the word tongues in them and gave an explanation for them. But you will not except my explanations. Why would I think you would except anything else I...

*** Call it what ever you wish but I do not think God wants His children to speak babble in front of others. Language is for communication and if a person babbles then what message is being sent? Is it the message that The person is closer to God than others who do not claim to speak in a...

*** 1 Cor 14:4 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. NKJV Like I said, they do it for a show.

*** I gave evidence that supports my opinion in the OP and see no reason to repeat them. Sorry you can't see it.
