*** Your ideas on religion places those in it under the thumb of men who elevate themselves to be closer to God than anyone else. It also causes many to stay in a church that teaches false theology. A church will not be able to save those in it. Under grace each and every person that God has...

*** What does "propitiation" mean to you? -- If you do not give an answer to this question I see no reason to discuse anything with you because you are not giving the glory for our salvation to the one who purchased it for us. Do you believe that Jesus' shed blood on the cross has PAID for...

I hope you will understand in the future.

*** Eph 1:14 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. NKJV I have two questions for you? Who paid for your sins? Do you believe that the shed blood of Jesus on the cross has paid for your sins and the sins of...

Don't you know that it was the shedding of Jesus' blood that paid for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. NKJV Rom 3:24-25 24 being justified freely by His grace through the...

*** If a person does not believe Jesus died and shed His blood on a cross to pay for our sins of the flesh and then raised from the dead then that person is servicing religion in vain.

The b-attitudes were directed the the Jews. Jesus never gave His message to the Gentiles. The b-attitudes will come true fot the Jews during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

I disagee with the idea that THE gospel is the account of Jesus' life. The account of Jesus' life is why we believe He is our savior. The gospel is what Jesus did on the cross, on our behalf, to pay for our sins of the flesh. No one can be saved until they place their faith in Jesus' work on...

I believe that religious people think that God will ignore their sinful nature if they are trying to be good and righteous by their own efforts. It is called being self-righteous. In other words they consider themselves to be righteous because of what they do. The non-saved people can not...

*** There is no one on earth today that has the law of God written on their hearts. That prophesy was made to the Jews and will take place when Jesus returns to set up His reign in Jeruslem. Jer 31:33 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says...

** Obviously you do not believe in the rapture (caught up) of the children of God. The second verse 28 in Hebrews " 28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him...

It should be noticed that a child of God has already been judged. When a child of God is made that child because he/she believes in the work of Jesus on the cross his/her believing (faith) has made them what they are; children of God. They are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of...

*** Mark 6:3 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" So they were offended at Him. NKJV

*** You stated this; "The destruction of the Jewish temple to me seems insignificant. THAT temple was destroyed when Christ died and rose from the dead. I don't really believe the destruction of the Temple was "insignificant". It ended the period of time where a Jew could be saved just by...

Assurance of salvation: Useful Scriptures John 5:24-27 24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and...

*** James was not a Christian! He was a Jew that believed Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and King. There was a difference between a Jew and a child of God until grace came. With the destruction of the Jewish Temple God has set aside the nation of Israel and the Jewish religion, temporarily...

*** Your idea is silly. It is a smoke screen that you want to use to get around the fact the the Holy Spirit inspired James to write his letter to the Jews ONLY. Prove it by the scriptures. All of the 12 were under the law. They were not Christians. They were believing Jews, those that...

Question: was Cornelius saved under the "kingdom gospel (Abrahamic Covenant)" or the "gospel of the grace of God" as taught by Paul? Cornelius was a blessing to Israel (Acts 10:2,22), and because of this God rewarded him with the hearing of the Word through Peter and receiving salvation. This...

*** Other than your conjectures and assumptions do you have any scriptural evidence to support your idea that Gentiles become Jews. The book of James was canonized because it was written by James who knew Jesus in the flesh and was the leader of the 12 in Jerusalem. His book is just as valid...

*** You can't mix what was said to the Jews who were under the law with what was said to the Gentles under grace. You said" I hope you do realize you are stretching. Perhaps you would see your error of misunderstanding " I don't see that I am going to reply to you any longer since you feel...
