Your conclusions are all wrong. The book of James is in the NT for us to understand that the Jews were still under the Law of Moses. It is written FOR US but NOT TO US. See James 1:1 to see who it is written to. But you won't believe the word of God All you can see is that if it is in the...

I have never said that part of the NT is in error. You have me saying it. I have never suggested that the NT is flawed or that the NT contains books with a corrupt Gospel message. You have me saying it. What I have said is; The OT is a record of how God dealt with His nation of Israel. It...

To me repentance is an attitude. The attitude is the same as the tax collectors. According to the scriptures the tax collector humbled himself and God exalted him for it. A true child of God is humble and knows that if it weren't for Jesus' work on the cross they would have no claim of...

Rom 7:21-8:4 21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in...

So if a person is not proclaiming good works they have a "distain for the poor." How do you came up with that conclusion? In the days of Jesus most all people worked at something if they were not totally disabled. But that is not true today. There are so many that make their living out of...

I believe that true repentance is necessary for the child of God. But that repentance is not a ritual that is done when they think they have sinned. It is a humble attitude that a person knows the need for Jesus’ work on the cross to save them from their sinful condition. I believe in a...

I thought that the churches that Paul started were the first ones under grace. You know, under the gospel that was hidden in God and revealed to Paul..

But you sin just like the rest of us. But you indicate that you don't when you condemn others for their sins. Isn't that the sin of hypocrisy, blaming other for doing what you are doing too. I have said before that I agree Paul teaches that the children of God SHOULD try to keep from sinning...

Unless I missed something I think it was an attack on those that are not Catholic that started this thread.

Yes they have but it was in secrete not openly as it is today.

It is the scriptures that teach us that the law has been set aside and replaced by grace. I am not only suggesting it but have shown proof of it in the scriptures. You said that you teach grace but this post is works of the law, not grace. Jesus never taught grace. He taught law to those...

I personally like the one about the wedding feast. It was Jesus telling the Jews that when they reject Him as their Messiah and king he would go out to the Gentiles with the message of grace. The one cast out refused to wear the wedding garment that the host gave him but wanted to be able to...

So you believe in grace that has paid the sin debt of the whole world. I believe that too and am on this form teaching it. But you think that if I don't teach good works I am a heretic. For your consideration how about letting God decide what is a good work for His children to do. If...

What amazes me is that if I don't teach good works I must not believe in a person caring for others. If all that is taught is doing good works then how do people know about the love of God shown in Jesus' work on the cross. Isn't teaching God's grace a good work? When God said to have fruit it...

I thought you were talking about how mankind responds to grace. You are saying that to respond is to do good works I am saying that to respond is to teach others about God's grace. Seems perfectly clear to me. Seems to me that one is to get people to do good works and the other is to teach...

It seems to me that before the PILL women's sexuality was held in check by the lack of abortion. Today most all women have had sex outside of marriage by the time they reach 21. The god of sex is running wild and it has as it's place of sacrifice; the abortion clinics.

When Jesus fed the 1,000s didn't He say that the only reason they kept following Him was to get the free food? It's true today. Most of mankind is in religion in order to get self-rightness for themselves in the eyes of others. If you want to do GOD works then teach the gospel of God's grace...

You said; "No, if anything I think your illustrating story is a bit rotten. At least it misses out on a relevant point: how to best express the gratefulness that we feel for our undeserved salvation. Hence my first comment in this thread. I said; " My friend has been a wonderful friend and now...

I don't think God wants us to lose our common sense. The world is full of evil and it is foolish to let murders into our houses. During the time of Jesus there was a pagan religion that offered up baby sacrifices. Their pagan temple was full of prostitutes and the resulting babies were use as...

No.1: I have used corruptible things to indicate spiritual things. So you think God’s plan of salvation by faith will rot away. No.2: Only in your mind. No.3: Your conclusions are all wrong. The scriptures tell me that the Law is still in effect for those that do not believe in the work of the...
