    The sin of unbelief

    You must have had an interesting child hood with all that brain washing you write about. So Peter could not say Jesus was the Messiah. Better check out this; Matt 16:13-16 Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ (Mark 8:27-30; Luke 9:18-20) 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi...

    The sin of unbelief

    It might be imposable for you but there are many that do it and I am one of them. You have just called me and the others "heretics". You have not offended me but you have offended God. Acts 10:11-16 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners...

    The sin of unbelief

    Why do you want to make it so difficult. Maybe this will help you. Believe -- faith -- trust -- confidence. Each of these words can be used to describe the others. The sin of un-belief is to not take God at His word. God said go into the land --- Man said we can't because they did not...

    The law or Grace

    I enjoyed your O.P. because they are based on the truth. God bless you.

    The sin of unbelief

    Believe -- faith -- trust -- confidence. Each of these words can be used to describe the others. The sin of un-belief is to not take God at His word. God said go into the land --- Man said we can't because they did not believe the word of God. It's really very simple. In this age of...

    The law or Grace

    Better read this too. Rom 14:1-6 14 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...

    The sin of unbelief

    Your reply makes no sense.

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    So you pull a verse out of context to prove your point. When in context it does not mean what you say it does.

    Peter's sermon on Pentecost:

    I believe that Peter's sermon has been taken out of context and used as a blanket sermon about repenting and being water baptized. This article is my attempt to prove that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ (was it to the Jews and the Gentiles, or just to the Jews?) Acts 2:31-38 (NKJV) 31 he...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    Do you know what a "metaphor" is? How about an "allegory? 1 Cor 11:23-26 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My...

    The sin of unbelief

    You said that right. Jesus did everything necessary for our salvation when He shed His blood on a cross. His works, not ours. But it seems mankind would rather trust in what they do to obtain salvation. I wonder how God feels when mankind would rather trust in their religions instead of what...

    Destroying your understanding of a most favorite salvation passage

    How do you respond, by your works? I respond by placing my faith ( trust and confidence) in Jesus's work on the cross and in so doing I give HIM all the credit and praise. Religious people respond by having faith in what they do.. Just as the Jews refused Jesus Christ and trusted in their...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    That wafer that is given was baked by man out of corruptible material and is certainly not the body of Christ. The body of Christ today is each and every child of God and has been placed in that body by the Holy Spirit (God). Eph 5:30 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His...

    Destroying your understanding of a most favorite salvation passage

    Heb 7:18-19 18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. NKJV former commandments have...

    Who is the Book of James writen to

    You have admitted that you sin too. Who made you do it? There is only one way to get into heaven and that is trough faith in Jesus' shed blood on the cross, period. Have you not read the scriptures? Rom 5:12 Death in Adam, Life in Christ (Gen 3:1-19) 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin...

    Who is the Book of James writen to

    And I do not understand how you can say you don't do any of those things since you have already said you still sin in the flesh Your conclusion on these verse TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT is not right. If they are then no one will ever go to heaven. WHY? Because every one of us still sin in the...

    The sin of unbelief

    The sin that kept the Jewish people out of the promised land was the sin of unbelief; God told them to go into the land and that He would drive the people there out with Hornets. But did they believe God? No and therefore God made them wonder in the dessert for 40 years. Jesus came to Israel...

    Who is the Book of James writen to

    I haven't ignored chapter 5. In context of the whole book chapter 5 is still telling us that we are not to chose to go back under the law. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do...

    The difference between Acts 15 and Acts 21:

    Why is it so hard to see what happened in these two sections of verses? In the first Acts 15 James and the rest of the 12 said it was okay that the Gentiles DID NOT HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES. However, there are no words stating that the Jews did not have to keep the law of Moses. In...

    Who is the Book of James writen to

    Barrd, when I said to read the book of Galatians I didn't mean that you should just focus on one part, but to focus on the whole book. You have taken what Paul described as the work of the flesh and used it to try and say anyone who does those things will not be saved. All Paul is saying is...
