@H. Richard, Do you believe that the epistle of Paul to the Philippians is applicable to you? Because it is not; if James is not (see previous posts).

In doing so you are being willfully ignorant of the information that has been presented to you.

But Philippians is written to Gentiles and so I'm certain that @H. Richard would like to partake of its treasures; however it is not written to him and therefore he cannot (because it is written only to the saints at Philippi with the bishops and deacons, Philippians 1:1)

Concerning Jesus being in the flesh: Luk 24:41, And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? Luk 24:42, And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. Luk 24:43, And he took it, and did eat before them. Luk 24:44, And he...

I think that @H. Richard, is, indeed, inclined to toss out these things as well as the epistle of James.

Amen!

It is saying that there is no mediator between God and men except for the Man Christ Jesus. Therefore Mary and the saints cannot be co-mediators. Can a saint who is in heaven hand a new Christian a Bible? If I even hand a new Christian a Bible, that does not make me a mediator between him and...

I will say also, that if James is not profitable for doctrine because it is not written specifically to Gentiles, then Philippians isn't profitable for doctrine because it is only written to the saints at Philippi with the bishops and deacons (Phl 1:1). Thus we cannot obtain encouragement from...

James is primarily a practical and instructional book: its purpose was to exhort Christians toward love and good works (see Hebrews 10:24); not to preach the gospel to unbelievers. It was basically written to those who already believe; to those who are rooted and grounded in the understanding...

Have you thought sbout the fact that the last day may not be referring to a literal day in history, but to a period of time? Thus, the last day might begin with the rapture and end with the 2nd coming of Christ. Have you also considered that when He returns, we will appear with Him in the...

@Nancy; Like I said, Jesus told us to pray for pre- in Luke 21:36; and a pre-tribulation rapture is also promised to overcomers in Philadelphia (those who keep the word of His patience)...Revelation 3:10. Jesus gives a stern warning to those who mess up in Thyatira, that they are going to go...

There is a minister in the body of Christ who is committing lewd acts with a woman that he is committing adultery with. The Lord is saying to you, "Return to me; for I have redeemed you." (Isaiah 44:22)

1Co 6:20, For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1Co 7:23, Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

I am merely saying that any time someone presumes to correct us, we need to consider deeply as to whether that correction is from the Lord or not. It would not be good to pass off what the other person is saying simply because they might be wrong; because everyone considers themself to be...

I am certain that I have heard of situations where Catholics will, for example, take up a talisman that represents some saint and that they believe that the saint in question is some kind of go-between between them and the Lord. And I know for a fact that there are many Catholics who consider...

It seems to me that Mary and the saints cannot be co-mediators between God and man. 1Ti 2:5, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Scripture is clear that salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15-19). The labour involved would be the work that you have to put in to understanding the gospel and sifting out the truth away from false doctrines that compete with the truth of the gospel. In some cases, all the labour is done by...

It is not that we are saved by the works; but it is that works are the normal outcome of a living faith. Even according to Paul (Ephesians 2:8-10).

I always make it my endeavor to have a heart that is soft and malleable before the Lord. It is my constant prayer that He might form me into a vessel of honour and mercy; as clay in the hand of the potter.

God eventually required a human sacrifice; and that human sacrifice was also Him; God come in human flesh. Jesus came from heaven to earth, becoming a Man; and then proceeded to sacrifice Himself for us on the Cross. And it is definitely true according to scripture (Hebrews 11:17-19, esp...
