A cop out. I suppose if you found the word "" in"" in James 1 and then found the word ""Christ"" in James 2 you would say that is ""in Christ". Where did you go to school? The two words In and Christ used together is found only in the writings of Paul. The children of God are """IN...

James 2:1-2 Beware of Personal Favoritism 2 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. 2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, NKJV Boy...

tell me where the words "in Christ" appear in the book of James. My word search for those two words together did not find them in the book of James. The very first verse in the book of James tells us that James is writing to the Jews with no mention of Gentiles. If you read my study on the...

You said; "Of course I want you to believe what the word tells you why would you not want to? Do you think the Bible contradicts itself? Get over it StanJ. Every church denomination tells it's members what the leaders think the words say and many disagree and we now have many different views...

You only saw what you wanted to see and that made you miss this; [Copied from the OP] In my opinion the book of James is devoid of the gospel of grace as taught by Paul. However, it was completely compatible with the law of Moses. Since the word of God has to be based on truth, I find the book...

No, you want me to believe in what the word tells you and I disagree with you on what the word says. Eph 3:9-11 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent...

Thank you for your wonderful words. All this garbage is just a smoke screen to cover up the FACTS in the OP. I see that most do not want to face the truth in the scriptures.

How about reading James 1:1 or is it that you can't see it. Acts 21: 20-21 20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother (Paul), how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law; ***verse 20: The...

foolishness! I am to believe what you tell me the words say, right? Not in this life nor the next. Salvation is a gift from God who did everything necessary for salvation for those that will place their trust in Him. But religious people place their trust in the ideas of men. Religious...

You know I am not saying that. You are a deceiver. The ideas that man gets by his/her reasoning that are lies.

foolishness! How can a person trust in Jesus' work on the cross without already knowing in his/her heart that Jesus is the Son of God? It is the natural man that can not see and know that Jesus' work on the cross pays for all the sins of the world. Don't you all understand simple English?

The natural man can not believe that God has paid for all the sins of mankind and that all a person has to do is trust in Jesus' work on the cross. The natural man says in his heart I can do righteous acts, sing songs and pay lip service to God in religion in such a manor that God will accept me.

I understand your reply but the last part is not right. Should we just keep on accepting lies or try and replace them with the truth?

StanJ you show your ignorance of the scriptures when you take what was said to the people of Israel, who were under the law and apply to us under grace. Yes, we have what was written in the O.T. (a record of God dealing with Israel) , the 4 Gospels and the first 7 chapters of Acts but all of...

It is amazing that the subject of this thread has been changed but I understand that those in religion today do not really want to see the truth. They can only see what they have been taught by men.

The scriptures teach me that if I trust in the ideas of men I am building my house on a foundation of sand. I will build my house on the foundation of God's words as written in the Bible. I will trust in the words that Jesus gave Paul for us. By the way it is the Holy Spirit that teaches the...

2 Cor 11:2-3 2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in...

No.1 God's word does not need defending by you. It says what it says. I could think up a snappy reply but I am above that. No.2 You take what Jesus said to the Jews who were under the law and use it to those under grace. Very good way to pervert the grace gospel. Only the believers will...

Matt 3:14-15 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?" 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him. NKJV Was Jesus right? Did He have...

Why do you insist on making this discussion personal. I think I understand why you, and others, do it. What we see in the scriptures is that the man of God is persecuted by the religious. Jesus was persecuted and killed, Stephens was persecuted and killed, Paul was persecuted and those that...
