    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Faith leads to hearing and responding to the gospel message about Jesus Christ. Belief in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins makes us right with God. Through this acceptance we are sanctified to invite our temple to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit abides within us to lead...

    Don't learn to know good and evil. Learn God's word. Only God's word is good. And learn to endure anything.

    The concept of nakedness being shameful is established elsewhere in the bible. And when we go back and look at Adam and Eve in light of those other verses I am certain a greater understanding can be had.

    Is Truth Relevant? True and False are opinions. - True or False?

    Truth is immutable and original, unbound by time. Some things may be factually true but only with a certain understanding. Anything which requires some other requisite understanding in order to be true, is not original truth. I'd bet that most everything considered true today requires a...

    Spiritual Capacity for me

    If you are able to fast that is also helpful. If only to increase your devotion to God by virtue of denying the flesh. 1 John 2:15-17 15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of...

    Vision Of The Falling Bread Crumbs

    Yes, I consider it an admonishment. Like we are behaving as food motivated animals. Even if it is for spiritual food, why behave like dogs begging for every scrap.

    Green Peace just lost its case against Dakota Access Pipeline developer in a judgement of 660 million, which means bankruptcy for them

    The left doesn't need an excuse to start a war, excuses are for reasonable people.

    Vision Of The Bungee Cords

    I'm thinking it might have something to do with this proverb: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" Perhaps someone is in a situation they need to leave a situation, and they need to be careful about the doctrines they have placed trust in when...

    No one can come to Jesus unless

    Absolutely. It isn't only the Jews, but everyone. There are many things in this world that stand in the way. Even Christians may attend Church but not know Jesus really.

    Forgiveness

    It's a problem, we know we need to forgive but we can't force our hearts to feel forgiveness. If you were to wait for your feelings to agree, you would be waiting forever. But we should not be lead by our hearts, but by the Spirit of God. God gives us a heart of flesh to be amenable to the...

    Can a tare become saved?

    We do not know if someone is a wheat plant or a tare. That is one of the points of the parable, they look identical when immature. So they can not be separated prematurely. But when mature the weight of the grains of the wheat stalk cause it to dip low, while the tare stands proud. The fruit...

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    Muslims get away with a lot, and Satan's children cover for their own. You won't see many government officials or the news media opposing or exposing Muslims, even when they perform jihad in our back yards.

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    The community ends at the boundary of the property they own, and can not extend into infringing the rights of their neighbors to exercise their religion. Where local governments tend to over-reach. Their ability to enforce the law ends at excommunication. They would not be allowed to detain or...

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    The fourteenth amendment requires states to also recognize the rights of citizens. Because if only the federal government were required to recognize citizen rights that would be meaningless. Most people reside within a state. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the...

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    And rather that religion be a Christian church established by the king of england. Or by local leadership trying to establish Islamic government, it would not be allowed under the constitution.

    The Four Stages of Mankind's Redemption:

    Ezekiel 37:26 KJV "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore." Peace with who, first and foremost peace with God. Romans 5:1 Multiply...

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    How we want to be loved doesn't change as a result of becoming a believer. How and why we love others changes. Loving in a self sacrificing way, giving of ourselves without expecting something in return. This is the love of the believer, a love like God's love for us.

    More on the deity of Christ

    Jesus wasn't dead yet when he called out: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" But even though you misunderstood my point, going of on a tangent about the afterlife.
