    A Study on the Book of James

    Why not discuss the scriptures I posted? Do you think yours are better than mine. You said "Once again, the Bible...ALL of it, not just the bits you like, but every jot and tittle of it...is meant for everyone. Then why do you not believe Jesus in Matt 5:5-7 and 15:23-24? So you take all of...

    A Study on the Book of James

    Acts 11:19 19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only. NKJV Like I said, they preached to the Jews only. The scripture is in plain English. Why can't people see...

    Barrd said, "Richard, I'm not going to try to post the entire book of Galatians for you. And I'm not going to go through and find the verses that support my opinion, only to have you tell me afterward that I "skipped the important verses". To much work! Why don't you help me out here, and...

    Way to go Oz, I wonder if those religious Jews said that to Paul as they tried to stone him to death. The RCC was guilty of trying to keep the word of God from the people and are you doing the same? Are you trying to shut me up?

    Genesis 15:4-6 According to the scriptures Abraham was accounted righteous (JUSTIFIED) before God several years earlier, BEFORE the birth of Isaac, and before he had done anything to "prove" his faith in God. Read your Bible. Jesus was not preaching to the Gentiles. Neither was James. and...

    Why do you refuse to see that Peter was not teaching grace? Peter didn't know that the gospel of grace would be given because of Jesus' work on the cross. That fact was hidden in God. Acts 2:17 17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all...

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    Most religious churches """"blend""" what Jesus and the 12 taught """"UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES" "" and to the Jews who were under the law in with grace The Jews were set aside because they refused their Messiah and King. It is a FACT that Jesus sent Paul out into the world with a "HIDDED IN...

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    Satan loves those that try to be justified by the works of the law when they know they can't keep the law. Jesus' work on the cross has justified all those that believe and trust in what He did.

    You posted; " You admit that you do sin. I admit that I do sin. Well and good. Now tell me, Richard, please...what is sin? -----------Sins of the flesh are still sins of the flesh. The law shows us what sin is. Sin is placing self above others. All those church people that block the egress...

    Rom 2:23-25 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 24 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written. Circumcision of No Avail 25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a...

    A Study on the Book of James

    We have discussed this before and I told you that those Christians who think they can sin and then repent are in the same boat as your example. No child of God WANTS, WANT, WANTS, WANTS to sin but they are honest before God in that they know they do. Since I believe as I do you keep coming...

    Why would I teach others to keep the law when I know I can not keep the law myself? Why would I burden the children of God with a law that they have been set free of? Does God want us to be hypocrites? Paul spent a lot of his writing trying to keep his converts to "NOT GO BACK UNDER THE LAW."...

    I already have; Quote: "The wedding garment equals the righteousness that was freely given without works. But the one thrown out refused the righteousness that was freely given out of God's grace and wanted his own righteousness to be accepted."

    A Study on the Book of James

    Don't you think that Abraham had faith before he moved. Without faith he would never have moved. His faith is what God saw. God would never have told him to move if he hadn't seen his faith. -- therefore it was not that he moved, it was because God saw his faith. The scriptures tell us that...

    A Study on the Book of James

    You got it right but the conclusion is not quite the same as I see it. I see that the only requirement for those that did come was to wear the wedding garments that the king gave them (they didn't have to earn them). No other requirement has been mentioned. The one thrown out did not want...

    Try it this way; The certain man is Jesus (God) while on this earth in Israel. The dresser of his vineyard are the 12 Apostles Jesus was 3 years in Israel seeking to give the nation of Israel a kingdom and a king. 40 years is a time period used by God many times in the O.T. The Jewish...

    You sure do have a high opinion of yourself don't you. By the way, how have you "corrected me"? Your not my teacher and I certainly do not see things as you do and that does not make you right or my teacher. Since you think you are God's voice then tell me what the parable of the "barren Fig...

    You just think you do. You sin just like the rest of us. I am sick and tired of those that get on a forum and preach "we have to keep the law" when they don't keep it themselves. For anyone to say or indicate that they don't sin is , according to scriptures, makes them a liar. Rom 2:21-24...

    Rom 2:21-24 21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor...
