I have not put a boundary between Jews and Gentiles. I said " Both the Jews and Gentiles feed off the same root which is Jesus Christ. However the Gentile branches are grafted into the root to replace broken off Jewish branches. If you graft in a wild olive branch into a root it remains a wild...

I am male and 83 years old. I started trusting in the gospel of grace that Jesus gave Paul when I was 8 years old I spent many hours comparing what men say the scriptures tell us and find that most take them out of context to advance a theology. I did not let myself become brain washed into...

Perhaps you should lighten up a bit and let it go. I will be glad to elaborate on the points made in my posts if asked. As for my being sensitive you would be too if what you got in a reply on a forum is all about you and what you are personally doing wrong and they continue to harp on it...

I think I have done the same thing in the past but my excuse is not the coffee, it's old age. Apology accepted but was not necessary. I was not holding it against you.

James, the book writer said who he was writing too. James 1:1 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. NKJV How can anyone add to what James wrote without it just being an assumption. I think that the Gentiles that...

I can't see how my trying to comment on the scriptures is doing anything to the people on this forum. It certainly isn't ""ON" Anyone. However I do comment on those that wish to comment about me and criticize me. My being on this forum does not make those on this forum my father, mother, or...

I have re-read some of your work here on the forum and I see that I have mis-understood you on several posts. After hearing so many preachers teaching that God has changed them and they no longer sin (except for the smaller ones) I took a very close look at my own life and heart. Out of the...

The "sandwiched in" part is what I, personally, see the given scriptures to indicate. The study shows that James and the other Jewish believers were certainly not teaching salvation by grace ""ALONE"". They included the Law. Paul excluded the Law. This fact is what the study was meant to...

Yes. What you see as cumbersome is detailed comments on the scriptures posted. You said >I did say something about what you wrote in your OP. You'll find it in #2 and #4. Please reread what you wrote in #2 and #4. You did not reference any of the ideas of the thread. You only referenced...

I disagree. Grace is not about a person trying not to sin. Grace is all about Jesus' shed blood paying for all the sins of mankind. Jesus did for mankind what mankind could not do for him/her self. He kept the law and paid mankind's sin debt. Grace is all about the fact that God, Himself...

So you have just expressed an opinion to help me. I have found that those that do it are trying to elevate themselves above others. Perhaps I have been on forums too long. What I notice is that you want to help me but you had nothing to say about what I wrote to start the thread. I will...

Replace the word "must" with the word "will" and you got it right. Ha! Ha!

This thread asks the question, "who is the book of James written to"? It is not about a person doing good works because they love others. However, I have found that if you bring up this subject it always gets back to works of the flesh. The only real good works that a child of God can do it...

In a Sunday School class a statement made by James in the book of James was referenced. James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? No one in the class disagreed with this statement but I should have. I do not believe that a statement made by...

This is my thread. I am not forcing anyone to read it or to comment on it. I introduced it as a study. The study would be incomplete unless it was taken as a whole. Are you an administrator? I see other posts that are just as long. You have criticized my writings before. What makes you do...

16 as also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. NKJV It is my opinion that when Peter said the rest of the...

I don't see where Paul said his writing were scripture but I do see where Peter said Paul's writings are scriptures in one of his (Peter's) letters to the Jews.

I can't see that I asked a question. What I did was point out that Peter said Paul's writings are scripture. I see no reason for you to say I was un-polite.\ Perhaps the scripture I quoted upset your ideas and it is not polite to upset your ideas.

I think Peter tells us that Paul's writings are scriptures when he Said "the rest of the scriptures." 2 Peter 3:16 16 as also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own...

Didn't the Jewish leaders say Jesus had a Devil in Him? I believe that the Jewish leaders saying Jesus was of the devil was their unpardonable sin. You don't mess around with God's children. I, sometime, think that people today who say bad things about the children of God will suffer the...
