    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    #5. Punishment of sins in earthly courts vs. a sin that leads to hellfire (Matthew 5:22). Jesus described to us the difference between death-sins vs. non-death sins in Matthew 5:22. “But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    That’s not exactly true. Here are… Sins Not Unto Death: Important Note: Please keep in mind that I am not trying to trivialize sin. I believe after we are saved by God's grace that we must live holy as a part of God's plan of salvation. For without holiness, no man shall see the Lord...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Notice how Jesus says that the Son of Man shall GIVE unto his listeners the meat that endures unto everlasting life. The word meat is an archaic English 1600’s word meaning food. Source: King James Bible Dictionary - Reference List - Meat (Note: KingJamesBibleDictionary website has been...

    No offense, but I would encourage you to please read your Bible more, my friend. You will not find any of the RCC practices clearly spelled out in the New Testament. The Christ of the Catholic Church is another Jesus not found in the Holy Bible.

    KJV Only...which one!

    But who is the scribe or scholar telling you what the original word means? How do you know they are correct on the original meaning; Especially seeing that the original languages have been long gone for a really long time from now? Are the scribes of the original language dictionaries perfect...

    KJV Only...which one!

    *Sigh* Nowhere did I say that Jesus became a book. I am saying that there is a relationship between the Living Word (Jesus) and the Communicated Word (the Bible), just as their is relationship between human beings, and human speech. The Communicated Word is merely the expressed words of the...

    First, there are no more apostles. The Apostles and Prophets were merely the foundation built upon the foundation of Jesus. “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the...

    For me: It’s just seems like the practices in the Catholic Church are so obviously fake (not to mention naturally repulsive). I knew long before I was born again, when I was a kid that praying to Mary was wrong and we should only pray to God. It’s common sense, but then… folks can get sucked...

    I believe if a person is guided by the Spirit in understanding God's Word, they will naturally reject any extra biblical man made teachings found within churches. Obvious ones would be the man made traditions found in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The Catholic church believes in praying...

    Sure it can because the Spirit had inspired men of God to write the Bible, and it is the Spirit that illuminates the understanding on what those words say. It's all God. God wrote the words, and God opens our understanding to those words. It's not new words that God is giving us to understand...

    The Bible has many evidences that it is the Word of God. I created a blogger article to show the various evidences that show God's Word is of divine origin. Love Branch: Evidences for the Word of God As for some of your other questions: God is the One who preserves Scripture (Psalms 12:6-7)...

    While no book fell out of the sky, we know God had written the stone tablets with His very finger. Granted, we are not under the Sabbath command given to Israel, but the point here is that God is consistent in the way that He operates. God told Jeremiah to make a copy of the scroll of...

    I just wanted to add: While the creation declares the glory of God, and while the Gentiles do have a basic knowledge of certain things that are right and wrong as a part of how God created them, they do not have the gospel, or the doctrine of Christ (His teachings) without the written Word...

    V. Spoken Word is confirmed by the Written Word. Acts 17:11 In Acts 17:11, we learn that the Bereans were more noble because they received the "Spoken Word of God" from Paul and Silas with an open mind but yet they searched the Scriptures (i.e. the Written Word of God) to see whether those...

    B. Warning Against Altering God's Word is Confirmed in Old Testament: Forbidding in altering God's Word in Revelation 22:18-19 can also be seen in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:32 which says not to add or take away from the words of God's commands. This was the written Word. The Law. God...

    II. Do Not Add or Take Away or Go Beyond What is Written: A. Do Not Add or Take Away From God's Word: Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are...

    A Biblical Defense of: “Bible Alone + The Anointing to Understand It” (a.k.a. Sola Scriptura by others): “Bible Alone + The Anointing to Understand It” is the position that you can trust Scripture and Scripture alone as your sole authority for your faith and life (with the Holy Spirit in...
