Of course, Jesus exhorts us to pray always that we will be found worthy...to escape those things that shall come upon the earth, and to stand before the Son of Man. Luke 21:36.

I figured that...I am a stickler for correction, sometimes to my hurt!

Correction: Gen 7:2, Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Being justified by simple faith in what Jesus did for us on the Cross, we will now carry a specific aroma that is hated by the world. Because of the fact that we are born again of the Holy Spirit, the world hates us; and this will result in persecution and trial and suffering at the hands of...

Good works are not unto sanctification but because of it.

As I said before, James is not the only one who preaches the law. Rom 5:5, And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom 8:4, That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the...

lying and killing? It would have been funnier if he had made it the 7th commandment (thou shalt not commit adultery).

sin (the transgression of the law, 1 John 3:4) shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law but under grace, Romans 6:14.

However, in all of this you did not address what was said to you in the post that you were responding to. And if, in this post, you are trying to tell me that my father is the devil, I'm sorry, but it has rolled off of me like water off of a duck's back. Because I definitely have love for you...

Isa 29:13, Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: I would suggest that the fashion in which their hearts are far from...

More accurately, are you a nominal Christian (who professes faith in Christ); but you live like you do not believe? And might this be evidence that you really don't believe (are an atheist in your heart, cf. Psalms 14:1, Psalms 53:1) although you are a professor of faith in Christianity?

Indeed. However, even Paul preaches the law to a certain extent (Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, Galatians 3:24-25). The law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ; and it is also written on the hearts and in the minds of all those who are under the new covenant (see...

I simply believe that all scripture is inspired and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. So the epistle of James, being scripture, is useful for these things; even if I am a Gentile. It is inspired of the Holy Spirit; and we are not to...

Don't forget to capitalize the "S" in Son. We are to honour the Son just as we honour the Father (John 5:23).

If only you didn't deny the veracity (applicability?) of the epistle of James, you would have more power with people, my friend. I do believe that what you have said in the post above is absolute truth.

God's justice and God's mercy meet at the Cross. His justice is not compromised when He shows mercy; because His justice is satisfied in that Jesus paid the penalty of justice for our sins. He took our sins upon His shoulders and suffered the wrath and justice of God over what we did; in our...

It should be obvious that when anyone refers to a son, that this is not limited to spiritual children: that one may indeed be speaking of physical offspring when referring to someone as a son; while the son being spoken of may be merely spiritual, if I refer to someone as my son, you would have...

I would think that Genesis 3:15 would have a say in our understanding. "the seed of the woman"...the supernatural creation of the male reproductive animal that is of the woman rather than the man. This male reproductive animal being the Holy Ghost in flesh; which combined with the egg in the...

Okay. You don't want to think about it, that's on you.
