    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    James 4:1-8 is about exhorting Christians who are saved, but are walking/living in their fleshly mind, and not the mind/Spirit of Christ. They had to be warned that they could be on the road whereby they could depart from faith in the Living Christ.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    And the "good" that one will have done, so as to be resurrected unto eternal life, is John 3:18 and Rom. 8:8-9. To believe in Jesus, having the Gift His Holy Spirit. That is the only requirement.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I am trying to show that good works by doers of good, can never receive the Gift of Eternal life on that basis.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I am saying that you are not wrong in regards to the factions of faith and works. Good works alone cannot bring to us faith for our salvation, but faith alone does bring to us good works through our salvation. It's the parable about the good tree and the corrupt tree. Mat. 7 [17] Even so every...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I suppose different translations continue to cause confusion. The ONLY single work of God that we should DO, is to have faith in the sacrificial work of Christ, of whom God has sent. Apart from that, there is no OTHER requirement. The thief on the cross attests to it.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    In light of James 2:14-26 no, you are not wrong. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. The verses are not about judging our salvation, but rather our faith in God's ability to...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Ok, but the scripture says: "This is THE work of God....."

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Yes, Jesus is the Word, made to be flesh. John 1:14 John 5 [39] Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I agree. To walk in the Spirit, is to rest from our own works, by allowing "the mind of Christ" within us, to do His good work in us and through us, and not the works that we choose to go and do. Heb. 12 [2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Please read and study all of KJV 1 Cor. 2 1 Cor. 2[5] That your faith should NOT stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power [authority] of God.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Yes, all those who are "none of His". Rom. 8:8-9. Why? John 3:18; 1 John 5:12-13.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The Pharisees asked the all time question, that men have been asking for ages: John 6:28.....WHAT shall we DO, that WE might work [DO] the WORKS of God? (aka, how can we please God?) Jesus Himself revealed that His Father gave Him works to do. John 5 [36] But I have greater witness than that of...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Yes, His sacrificial life is ever present for all people. 2 Cor. 5 [10] For we must all appear before [come to] the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things DONE in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Herein is the truth of that which is...

    Jack Van Impe says the Holy Spirit has told him that he is God's final prophet

    Well, most assuredly Jack is not the last prophet, however in 2018 he was absolutely correct about WW3. It is specifically shown in Rev. 9:13-21, which is the wrath of satan. (Rev. 12:12). Rev. 9[14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the...

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    Since Pentecost, every Christian, whether Jew or Gentile, who is "born again" of the Holy Spirit of God, is SEALED unto the day of redemption, and therefore shall be of the Great Multitude. There will be no preference or distinction made by God, that there will be 144,000 Jews from Israel to...

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    So, you disagree that Jesus is the First resurrection, who is Himself the FIRSTborn from the dead,....having the preemince in it. If then that is your understanding, how did you become "blessed" as a "partaker of the divine nature", if you didn't "have part" in the First resurrection, who is...

    Do the Ten Commandments still serve a purpose?

    Yes! It's called "Civil Laws". Every country has some form of it, as to what was delivered to Moses by God. Unfortunately, Israel and some of the world's religions worship The Law. Becareful that YOU don't. The Law was never meant to forgive people of sin, or save anyone from the wrath of...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Let's think about the repentant thief on the cross. Without any explanation, he most assuredly WAS SAVED!! So then, what was (singular) "the works of God" that he performed, that granted him the Gift of God's salvation? Ans. John 6 [28] Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might...

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    Many professing christians are in a dither about who the 144,000 are, and when it is that prophecy has fulfillment. The factor for correct discernment, rests in understanding NOT WHEN is the first resurrection, BUT rather WHO IS the First Resurrection. Once that is resolved and settled in our...

    Threat to Democracy?

    Well, if the majority of the people want someone on the Republican ballot, who is willing to run, and is legitimately allowed and able, and the Dems. are attempting to side step the will of "the people", where went the words: "We the people, of the United States, in order to form a more perfect...
