    The shed blood ----?

    Since your answer is no then how are they paid for? Rom 3:23-26 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate...

    1A See 2A. 2A . I give and gave my views openly. I support what I say with the actual scripture or a scripture reference. Nor have I insulted your views. I try to replace the word you with the words some and many. But you doni't. 3A what you mean is that I am suppose to keep the...

    What is faith?

    So it's all about you isn't it? If you don't want to disappoint Jesus then trust in His work on the cross. One thing stands out about our discussion is that I am the only one talking about faith in the work of Jesus on the cross. Why is that?

    What is faith?

    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 salvation. --- That is the way a man might see it. However; “Faith is the substance of things not...

    Thank you for your not blaming me for my reading comprehension. Nor do I blame you for yours because I know that Satan is in the world blinding mankind to the true nature of the work on the cross. I too, have said that I believe in good works. But absolutely not for salvation """or to keep...

    I have already shown you where you have misrepresented what the scriptures say and you just ignore it in order to hang on to your religious traditions. Since you have to ask "what is faith" you obviously think faith is in your works to get and keep salvation You believe, trust, have confidence...

    All you are doing is putting your slant, interpretation, of what they meant. So as you say the words do not meant what they say in context. It is either, faith plus works, OR faith plus nothing. Which is it to you? It can't be both. Personally I will go with Paul's gospel of grace, faith...

    state of the world..

    You do not see it because your mind has been blinded by Satan. I am not against good works. But I am totally against good works as being necessary for salvation and I am sure that really upsets the religious You don't seem to understand grace. Do you not see that Jesus' shed blood paid for...

    All James is saying is that a person has to keep the Law of Moses by doing what the Law of Moses says to do. Have you not read where ,"if a person breaks the Law of Moses" the penalty for doing so is death by stoning"? You are saying Paul taught the same things James is teaching. What do you...

    James 2:8-9 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. NKJV The above was written to those under the Law of Moses. It is...

    A good sales pitch for those in religion. Again you are saying that what Paul taught and what James taught are the same. Paul never taught grace in conjunction with holiness. He taught that our holiness was a gift of GOD. That believing in Jesus' shed blood is the basis for our salvation and...

    state of the world..

    You mean to tell me that all those on forums that teach "if a person sins they are lost" are not teaching law? If a person on a forum is preaching the law then they are indicating that they keep those laws They quote what was taught by Jesus and the 12 to those under the law as if it is...

    So I take it that you are living without sinning, right? -- About James and the Law of Moses, read Acts 21. If you are not blind then understand that Paul was indeed teaching the Jews and Gentiles that they no longer have to live under the Law of Moses. Since the Jews were only mad at Paul...

    state of the world..

    Amazing !!!! So most of the posters are sinless, right? They have made the choice to not sin in the flesh so that they can be righteous, right? Their work at being righteous will get them into heaven, right? So then the conclusion is that we save ourselves by what we do, right? It is a...

    And just how do people "follow Jesus"? If it is tying to keep the law then they are not following Jesus because sinful flesh can not keep the law. Jesus was placed on a cross and murdered. However when He was on that cross He shed His blood that paid for all the sins of the world. It is His...

    End of the great commission?

    Galatians 2:6-10 6 But from those who seemed to be something — whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man — for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had...

    The scriptures tell us that the book of James was written to the Jews only. Do you believe James 1:1? Paul says the gospel he teaches was "hidden in God and revealed to him as a mystery"? Do you believe it was the same as revealed to the 12? And if you do then how could it have still been a...

    a list of people who don't make it to Heaven

    So you believe the 1,000 year reign is just my idea. Rev 20:1-4 - Satan Bound 1000 Years. 1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound...
