    What is faith?

    Why would you say it bothers me? It does seem to bother you. As for me I am safe and secure in the body of Christ. Let me make it clear, the 4 gospels are a record of What Jesus did when he came. They show how He fulfilled all the promises in the O.T. about Him. --- The books of Acts and...

    Excellent post. God bless you.

    What is faith?

    The study of the scriptures indicates I am right. You think that down thru the ages your ideas have been the true understanding of the scriptures. But you are living in a very small world to believe that. I believe in the dispensational study of the scriptures. You have been looking for a...

    What is faith?

    You refuse to understand that what Jesus taught to the Jews was the keeping of the law of Moses and that He was the Messiah and He was ready to set up the Jewish kingdom on this earth. So because I don't see it your way I am teaching a heresy. Does that mean I should be put under the RCC...

    Christian Discipleship

    No. Their message was not the same. What I see Peter saying is that what Paul wrote is scripture just as much as the other Scriptures.. It was hard for Peter to understand is that Jesus would save people just by their faith and not by works of the Law of Moses. He could not see God saving...

    What is faith?

    You posted "So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”” (Matthew 18:23–35, ESV) As I have said, many times, Jesus was teaching the Jews who were under the Law of Moses. The children of God in this age are under grace.

    What is faith?

    I do not believe in progressive salvation. 1 Cor 6:10-12 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you """were""" washed, but you """were""" sanctified, but you """were""" justified in the name...

    Christian Discipleship

    I see what you are saying but it is not what I see. Eph 3:4-10 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: You...

    What is faith?

    You said; "But it seems to me that H.Richard does not only fail to see the difference between ceremonial and moral law when trying to make sense of the NT, he also fails to see the full scale of grace:" So you accuse me, personally, of not understanding grace. Is that how you elevate yourself...

    The stupidest things I have ever heard were said by anti-Catholics

    - Why is it important to know when the church for this age of grace started? - If we think that the church for this age started with Peter on the day of Pentecost then we must consider that Peter was still a Jew, speaking to Jews, going to the Jewish Temple to worship and that he still wanted to...

    Christian Discipleship

    You said "I think you need to do some more study". I suppose I can say the same to you but I see no point in it. All it does is make it impossible carry 0n a conversation. I have had my say and you have had yours but it isn't getting anything resolved between us. Therefore I will not spend...

    Christian Discipleship

    Yes you have. The first 4 books of the N.T. are written for the Jews to explain that Jesus was the Jews Messiah and King. It was written for those under the law of Moses. The message of who Jesus was. This is obvious when we read about Stephens death. The first 7 Chapters of the book of...

    Christian Discipleship

    It is not about ME. It is about the work of God (Jesus) on the cross. I know the gospel that Jesus gave to Paul. It is called the gospel of God's grace. Instead of your throwing words around why don't you tell me your take on the commandments of Jesus. So I am wanting to put the Bible...

    A tragic story:

    If only his Christian friends had told him about Romans 7 he would then see that sinless perfection of the flesh is not possible.

    What is faith?

    I have never said that a child of God WANTS to go out and sin. That idea is what others want to foster about me. But it is obvious that everyone still sins in the flesh. I have mentioned Romans 7 many times It explains the constant struggle between the spirit and the flesh. I don't tell...

    A tragic story:

    I think I disagree that our sins are covered. I believe that the shed blood of Jesus has set us free of our sins. They were paid for on the cross. I think that because of this event in my life I am tuned in when I read what some are writing on this forum. Which I see as the same thing the...

    A tragic story:

    It has been my lot to find out, first hand, the results of those that teach sinless perfection in the flesh; that God changes our sinful flesh nature. The result of this teaching causes many to give up hope and turn away from Jesus. - When I was about 25 years old I worked for a factory in...

    Christian Discipleship

    Wormwood said: 3. "If you really trust in and love Jesus, then you will keep his commands. That is all I am saying. I am not saying I can save myself. Of course I cannot. What I am saying is that calling Jesus, "Lord, Lord" and then living a wicked life is not true trust. I am not saying...

    The shed blood ----?

    Thanks for your reply. This is what I have been saying. Every man, woman and child has a pardon for their sins but the only way to get it is to believe it exists.

    What is faith?

    As I see it that is not true. Most are on here preaching that we must stop sinning by our efforts to not sin. They add that if a person is a Christian they will not sin. They do this and all the while they are sinning too but they do not see their sins. I don't brag and claim I am sinless...
