Some scriptures apply to both. In the Life Application Bible: "When someone claims to have faith, what he or she may have is intellectual assent--agreement with a set of Christian teachings--and as such it would be incomplete faith. True faith transforms our conduct as well as our thoughts...

When I read such verses as Galatians 3:10, they tell me that I am not to live a life that is in bondage to the law as a set of do's and don'ts that tells me how I am supposed to behave. I am not under the law (Romans 6:14) am dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and am delivered from...

I have in fact seen indisputable miracles; even among Protestant congregations. Indeed. I simply disagree with you. I will hold to the fact that the kjv is inspired and inerrant to my dying day.

What about Enoch and Elijah?

it should be clear that scripture interprets scripture; and that John 5:18 interprets John 14:28...we can discern from a comparison of these scriptures that Jesus is equal to the Father in His Deity. I disagree with you there. The way I read it, it is John's estimation, under the inspiration...

They are distinct, not separate.

Not necessarily the most corrupt. It retains certain words that are important to the Christian life that are omitted by certain other manuscripts. And I, for one, do not want to be cheated out of reading / hearing something that will edify my soul that is not included in some modern...

In the prayer that Jesus gave us, we pray that the Lord will give us day by day our daily bread and that He will deliver us from evil. How will the Lord fulfill the answers to this prayer in your life if you cannot buy or sell apart from taking a mark on your body that means everlasting...

I don't have a book that tells me what saint to pray to for any given specific situation; so I will trust that in praying to Jesus, my prayer will be answered (John 14:13-14). Why convolute things by having specific people to pray to over certain specific kinds of needs? Isn't Jesus sufficient?

From G2716 - katergazomai - Strong's Greek Lexicon (KJV) The KJV translates Strong's G2716 (work out) in the following manner: work (15x), do (5x), do deed (1x), to perform (1x), cause (1x), work out (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage [?] to perform, accomplish, achieve to work out i.e. to do...

Hi @BARNEY BRIGHT, In John 14:28, it should be clear that the Father is greater than Jesus as concerning His humanity; not His Deity. Concerning His Deity, Jesus and His Father are said to be equal; precisely because of the Father/Son relationship. In John 5:18, the apostle John, under the...

As does anyone who has truly been given the Holy Spirit, by my estimation. Which would exclude certain catholic priests; because they do not have the Holy Spirit but only a sketchy authority that has been transferred to them by the people above them (whether justly or unjustly).

By all means, share your opinion.

In Revelation 5:8, the four beasts and the twenty-four elders bear golden vials full of odours that are the prayers of the saints on earth. I don't know why God uses them to bear the odours in the golden vials. Maybe you have an answer? I do know that the twenty-four elders do not pray those...

But I would say that while baptism has the power to save a man (1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39, Colossians 2:12), that being baptized is not the only way to be saved (see Romans 10:13).

Baptism, in those days, was commonly used as a rite to initiate people into Judaism. I think that the Eunuch probably applied this to the preaching that was given to him. But it may also be that Philip preached to him that he needed to be baptized, as this was a part of what Jesus said to do...

I simply disagree with you. Apparently what the Lord speaks to me through certain scriptures, He does not also speak to you. Perhaps because you do not want to believe in the application in question.

It's okay, we'll explain to to you on the way up.

"faith working through love" does not save a man either. It is simply the faith that saves (Galatians 3:14); by which we obtain the Holy Ghost; and the love of the Lord through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). This love shed abroad in our hearts is a part of the salvation that is given; but does...

Works are never meritorious (see Isaiah 64:6). The only merit that saves is the merits of Christ's perfect life as it is applied to our account through justification by faith.
