    The Unpardonable Sin

    Since Jesus' shed blood on the cross has paid for all the sins of the world, the only unpardonable sin is the sin of unbelief in that payment by Jesus. For a person to not believe that Jesus' shed blood pays for their sins of the flesh that person will be condemned by God. It is an affront to...

    What if early documents of Scripture had been lost?

    The Bible says that all scripture was written by those who were lead by the Holy Spirit. Why would anyone think that God did not have anything to do with the Bible scriptures as printed? If people will remember God lead a pagan king to help rebuild the Jews temple.

    A Study/focus on Acts 21:20-21

    20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother (Paul), how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law; ***verse 20: The "BELIEVERS" in Jesus "WERE ZEALOUS FOR THE LAW." That can only mean they still...

    What if early documents of Scripture had been lost?

    Is it possible that mankind can only see that the Bible is in existence only because of the effort and work of mankind? Do they see that it was left in the hands of mankind to give us the Bible today? God, the Holy Spirit, has given us the Bible. To think otherwise is to think faith in Jesus...

    We really need to pay close attention to James’ warnings!

    Jesus said, by His own words, that He came to the nation of Israel to fulfill all the promises to the Jewish nation. I am amazed that no one wants to Believe him. Matt 10:5-7 (NKJ) 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    A person is righteous in God's eyes when that person believes in what God says, not by any works of righteousness by that person. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what scripture says a person is righteous before God by what he/she does.

    We really need to pay close attention to James’ warnings!

    That is because you do not separate law from grace. Jesus and the 12 were under the Jewish Law of Moses therefore they did not teach grace. God has set both the Jews and the Law of Moses aside and is now reaching out to the world with a gospel of grace where He, God, has done all the work...

    We really need to pay close attention to James’ warnings!

    As James 1:1 states, James was writing to Jewish believers; those Jews who had placed their belief in Jesus as their Messiah and King. No where can you find where Jesus, or the 12, told the Jews they were no longer under the Law of Moses. In other words he was under the law. For a Jew, under...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    The righteousness spoken of is Jesus Christ. According to the scriptures, He is our righteousness. Replace the word righteousness with Jesus Christ and you can see it. I can find no where in scripture where it says people have righteousness by their own works of the flesh.

    What is faith?

    What is faith? It is said that faith is not faith unless it has works as a result. Many use the statement “you have to reach out and take it” as an example of having to do the work of taking the free gift of salvation. --- That is the way a man might see it. However; “Faith is the substance of...

    A Common Error:

    H. Richard, on 13 Dec 2015 - 3:14 PM, said: H. Richard, on 13 Dec 2015 - 3:14 PM, said: How do you see it as a put down. I was trying to see if there was a language barrier by asking where he was from. The idea of a "put down" is in you mind only. If you have a problem with what I write...

    A Common Error:

    Stan, if people do not understand that what Jesus and the 12 (11) taught was to the Jews only and under the law, then they will never be able to see that law is not grace and grace is not law. They can not be mixed. Law is where mankind works for salvation by religious works and grace is...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    According to the scriptures you are right. All mankind, both the saved and the unsaved will be resurrected. The unsaved will not be resurrected until the White Throne Judgment. Then they and death will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Rev 20:12-14 (the White Throne Judgment) 12 And I saw...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    The bondage of sin is the law, The child of God has been set free of the law since ALL sins were paid for by Jesus' shed blood on the cross. The children of God have been made children of God by their belief, faith, trust, and confidence in the shed blood on the cross; not by their own works...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    Jesus was not sent to the Gentles. He was sent to fulfill the promises He made to the Jews. It is clear that Jesus Christ, by His own words, did not come to minister to the Gentiles, nor was His message "the kingdom gospel" sent to the Gentiles. He did not offer the "kingdom of heaven" TO the...

    A Common Error:

    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. It is written in simple English. What county are you from?

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    Rom 6:15-17 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    The only way to reconcile the NT verses is to realize that God has a plan for the nation of Israel. That plan was shown in the OT. and partly fulfilled In the 4 gospels as Jesus came to complete that plan. But it required the Jews to acknowledge who Jesus is, their Messiah and King. The...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    If a person is obedient then they will listen to the gospel of grace Jesus sent Paul to proclaim. But the unbelievers, those that refuse to believe Jesus' shed blood has paid for all the sins of the world, will only listen to the teachings of men who say they are preaching grace when in reality...

    Yes, it is possible to reconcile all of the New Testament Scriptures

    In God's eyes those that have faith in what God has done on the cross are righteous. As the scriptures quoted tell us all who believe, have faith in, trust in, confidence in, the work of Jesus on the cross are called righteous by God. Their faith is accounted as righteousness in God's eyes.
