    What is this thing called "sin"?

    I enjoy reading your replies. The truth is that unless the Holy Spirit guides a person, that person will never see and understand what is written in God's word. Case in point: Luke 18:31-34 31 Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    This writing is offered as a study of Apostasy and is to be considered the view of the writer, me. If it offends any I am sorry, but just as I give others the right to believe and write as they see it I claim that same right for myself. This writing is not a claim, by me, that I know everything...

    Why are you still replying to me when you said you wouldn't unless I correct my writing to conform to your ideas?

    A Study on the Book of James

    In my post #90 I left out a word " i " I believe you are of the RCC doctrine and "" I ""have never been able to discuss anything with a person in that church because they will not recognize the scriptures in the Bible as being the final words from God. They believe in what men have added over...

    Then don't reply. What you are saying is that if I don't reply with what you believe I shouldn't reply. Again, please do not reply. I believe it will be imposable for us to enter into a meaningful discussion since all you wish to do is criticize how I write rather than discuss ideas that I...

    The first printed english Bible

    William Tyndale printed the first English N.T. Bible and was later burned for doing so. William Tyndale wanted to use the same 1516 Erasmus text as a source to translate and print the New Testament in English for the first time in history. Tyndale showed up on Luther's doorstep in Germany in...

    I made no accusations. If you will reread my reply you will see the ? marks. I was asking a question, not making an accusation.

    Or could it be you that is listening to other men to do your Bible studying for you? Accusations are not beneficial? Is this how you debate by trying to set your theology better than others?: To rationalize and make assumptions concerning the scriptures is not studying them as what they say...

    Okay, so you don't believe Jesus said those words. I do. Jesus said that He only came to the "lost sheep of ISRAEL. I will believe Jesus period. Got Questions site: "Jesus is the Messiah that the Jews had been anticipating for centuries (see Luke 2:25; 3:15). As such, He was born into a...

    A Study on the Book of James

    Isn't it a fact that the RCC burned Tilton at the stake for publishing his Bible? Isn't it a fact that they also burned others for trying to get the scriptures to people or is that just what the protestants thought up?.

    A Study on the Book of James

    Are you not aware that Jesus ""HIMSELF" said He did not com3e to the Gentiles. He said (in two places) that He only came to the "lost sheep of Israel" Your idea that Jesus spoke to the Gentiles too is just your assumption and is not supported by Jesus Himself. I will post them again. Matt...

    A Study on the Book of James

    You have answered your own question. If He paid for all your sins then are they paid for, or are they not paid for? You said: "Now, does this mean that I may continue in sin?" You have said before that you still sin so why do you question this? If you still sin you have answered your own...

    A Study on the Book of James

    Only in your mind. You don't seem to understand God's grace. Yes we still sin in the flesh. But our sins do not condemn us because we are under the shed blood that paid for all our sins. When a person places all their belief, trust, faith, confidence, in Jesus' work on the cross Gods keeps...

    A Study on the Book of James

    If the law has not been set aside under grace then you, or anyone else' do not have salvation. Why??? Because you, or anyone else, can not keep the law. But religious people think they no longer sin in the flesh. The commandment in the gospel given to Paul is for the grace church. That...

    A Study on the Book of James

    When Jesus gave Paul the gospel of God's grace. A gospel that was hidden in God and revealed to Paul. if it was a secret (hidden) in God then it had not been revealed. God knew the Jews would not accept Jesus as their Messiah and King but He gave them ample time to change their minds. God...

    A Study on the Book of James

    You said: "I'm not going to repeat the same scriptures over and over again. I have already shown you that Abraham's faith was, indeed, a working faith." You have shown what you think the scriptures mean. So have I. We don't share the same opinion. You don't seem to be able to separate law...

    Destroying your understanding of a most favorite salvation passage

    Since you can not keep the law either why do you insist that everyone else has too?

    A Study on the Book of James

    At the time who was Jesus' brethren? It certainly wasn't the Gentiles. You continue to try and burden those of faith with your requirements that we live under the law. You know you can't keep it either so why do you keep doing it? "hypocrite": 1. one who plays a part, pretender...

    A Study on the Book of James

    It's not about US, it is about Jesus. There is no way a person can keep the Law. The Law condemns everyone of us. No man/woman can keep the law. You said; "Not at all. Grace gives us the help that we need to keep the law." No man/woman can keep the law. It is a man teaching that because...

    A Study on the Book of James

    Here, again, you put the wrong gospel as the gospel of grace. It is obvious that any Jew in Israel who excepted Jesus as their Messiah and king while He was here will be saved. That is what the 4 gospels and the first 7 chapters of Acts are saying. They were trying to convince the Jews...
