James: Justification by works Key Text: James 2:24 – "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." ✅ Context of James: Audience: “The twelve tribes scattered abroad” (James 1:1) — believing Jews. Concern: Not showing faith and justification by works—saying you...

[Ransom for the Soul – Exodus 30] This next one is particularly strong. Go to Exodus 30:11–15. “When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel… they shall give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD…” Verse 14: “Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty...

[Age 20: The Age of War and Service] Let’s look at Numbers chapter 1. Verse 3: “From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war...” Verse 20: “Every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war.” So Numbers 1 tells us the age at which a...

View 1: There is No Age of Accountability This view holds that even infants are accountable. Here’s the reasoning behind it: People are saved only by faith in Christ. If an infant—or even a miscarried child—has not placed faith in Christ, then they are not saved. Therefore, such children are...

Matthew chapter 12. The subject is the age of accountability—specifically, what the age of accountability is during this day. To begin with, the phrase "age of accountability" never actually appears in the Scriptures. There’s no such phrase recorded. In fact, the word "accountability" itself...

I agree with you that it's best to tuck tail and run, because none of us has any hope of entering the earthly kingdom because the kingdom isn't for us who are of the body of Christ. The kingdom will be ruled over by Israel. We in the body of Christ are destined for Heavenly places, not the...

The RCC has long since chosen Peter as their apostle, not Paul, who was THE apostle to the Gentiles and to Jews today, which is almost all of them and most here. The RCC following rejects what Jesus of the Bible established as THE apostle to the Gentiles. The fabricated Jesus' of the world and...

Indeed? Your one-liners bereft of scriptural backing shows just how weak your position really is. Please see above that I am not the one who said anything about the death of Christ being the basis for all people being saved. That must have been someone else that the second half of your post...

Restating statements into a context of your own making is less than a genuine handling of scripture or any other statement made by someone else. Let's look at that small statement you ripped from its context to try and couch it into a context of your own invention: Philippians 2:5-16 5 Let...

Then please show to us a graph or some other pictorial, graphic representation as to where that line of alleged loss is positioned. Can you at least do that so that we understand at what you are pointing? You've said nothing at all that carries with it any measure of substance that we can...

Who in this group knows someone who allegedly lost his or her salvation? How did you prove to yourself they had lost it? Who here is going to claim he or she has lost his or her salvation in the past? How did you prove to yourself that you had allegedly lost your salvation? Is it based on...

First of all how do you define "absolute?" What does that mean, and what proof do you have from scripture to support that as applying to us today? BTW

No spinning head here. What you appear to be proposing is the intermixing of the Kingdom Gospel with the Gospel of Grace, which is a failure on your part to recognize the glaring differences. BTW

This is stealing from Israel what was addressed ONLY to Israel: James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. The filth of replacement theology Gentiles use so much of the time to try and steal from us Jews what was...

What's interesting is that the only alternative to OSAS is works-based salvation. After all, if one has to apply personal effort to allegedly retain salvation, then personal effort had to be applied to gain it, which is no salvation at all. How can we know this? Questions (for those who believe...

Are you a legal expert? Is that legal advice you're offering? In actuality, that avatar image came from a website where anyone is instructed that the images are legally public domain, and that the public can therefore download their avatar images for forums and blogs. If you're a legal expert...

I have some music I've performed that I'd like to share with everyone in MP3 format. Would it be possible to increase my upload file size for that? SW

Nowhere does this show that wage earners in OT times were required to hand over to the Levites any portion of their wages as a tithe. Those versus deal not at all with the tithe. Besides, our modern system of church organizations are not comparable to the temple of the old covenant. There is no...

A preacher in the local area verbally berated anyone who would hand over any money to a charity that absorbs 60% of what's given to them for administrative costs. Visiting his office and pouring over the financials of his own organization, I found it interesting that his organization absorbs...
