Because God did not want them there. I get the idea that some do not believe God has any control over anything in this world.

All Christian religions will tell you that they preach Christ. But what is the message they preach? The way I look at it is that we have the writings of Paul to tell us about the grace gospel for this age. In addition we have the Holy Spirit to teach us by opening the scriptures for us so...

God has chosen the sinner instead of the self righteous 1 Cor 1:27-30 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things...

13 """""But now"""" in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah Please explain why these words are used!!! Don't they indicate that something else was true before BUT NOW it is replaced Do a word search for the words "but now". You might find it...

The book of Hebrews was written to show the Jews, and the Gentiles, that there was a transition from the Law of Moses to grace, If a reader can't see this then they will never be able to see that the law of Moses has been set aside and replaced with something much better, It's called grace. 2...

When James wrote his book it was directed to Jews who were under the Law of Moses (James 1:1). It is a fact that when a Jew was under the Law he/she had to do the works required under the Law and if he/she didn't it meant they had no faith in keeping the Law so their faith was dead.. As long...

I wish those that throw out the requirement of obedience would tell us what they mean by obedience. The reader has to determine what is meant by obedience. Is it obedience to keep the Law of Moses (which no man can do) or is it the obedience of faith in God's promises as told by Paul's gospel...

Since you only use references from the 4 gospels I take it that you like to be under the Law of Moses. How is that coming along, are you sinless yet?

The 12 preached that Jesus was the Messiah and king of the promised kingdom that Jesus would rule in the 1000 year reign of Jesus on this earth. That is why it is called "the kingdom gospel." Paul taught a gospel that was HIDDEN IN GOD and revealed to him by Jesus. It is a wonder to me as to...

It is a common error for religious preachers/teachers to assume that the Pauline Gospel of Grace should be blended in with what Jesus and the 11 preached. I feel this is a deadly error that will send many to Hell. Gal 1:8 NKJV 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel...

I get the idea that many think men have preserved the Bible for us today. They discount the fact that God created the whole universe and is perfectly able the keep His printed word for us today.

I have heard this argument before. Some say a person has to reach out and take it. TAKE WHAT!!!. Can a person hold faith in a box? I do not believe in "progressive salvation, progressive justification, progressive righteousness etc". Every one of theses things are accomplished by the Holy...

Yes I do. Faith in what God has done for us is all God asks. It gives all the glory to His Son, Jesus. I will say it again, the only sin that condemns a person in this age of God's grace is the sin of refusing to believe Jesus' shed blood has paid for ALL the sins of mankind. Under grace...

Stupid conclusion on your part. Material??? Where? Faith in Jesus is not material. It is my faith in the shed blood of Jesus on the cross that Jesus told us, through Paul, pays for all my sins of the flesh. It is impossible for me to see how you can come up with your conclusion. It...

Paul’s “in Christ” doctrine based on 15 scriptures 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God...

I have heard this argument before. The saying that a person can not have faith in faith. Some carry it to extremes No where in anything I have written have I said faith in faith. That is the straw man others build. The words faith, belief, trust, confidence must have a qualifier after them...

Rom 14:1-6 The Law of Liberty 1 Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who...

I never said you did. It is not about YOU. Some teach that a person has to eat and drink TLS in order to be saved. In other words they think by eating and drinking the Lord's Supper they are doing a work that will help save them. That is a fact and not a strawman. Why is it that people will...

*** Cor 11:17-26 Conduct at the Lord's Supper 17 Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19...

**** According to my Bible Jesus is always there for a person to trust in, have faith in, have confidence in, Rom 10:8-13 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the...
