Now Cain's offering was an offering of works...he offered up the fruit of the ground which he had toiled and laboured to produce...but Abel's offering was more in line with God's prescribed method of obtaining righteousness...through the sacrifice of a lamb (a lamb which, most likely, was his...

Very good, @Mal'ak... The only point that I would make is that we are transformed within by our faith in Christ (and what He did for us on the Cross) and not by any good work that we might do...but we will do good works because of that inner transformation if it is genuinely wrought in our...

Rom 3:1, What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Rom 3:2, Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Rom 3:3, For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Rom 3:4, God...

Hi @Mal'ak; I think you have hit on some good points. I would point out, however, that works, without faith in what Christ has done for us on the Cross, will not save anyone. 1Co 15:1, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received...

You are going to have to elaborate on this if you want me to believe you.

Indeed, this makes me think of Phm 1:6, That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. The teaching that I have on this has to do with the priestly garments in the temple. They wore a basic belt around their...

No; for the work of faith being instilled in the heart is all of the Lord... If we have no choice in the matter of whether we will place our faith in Jesus for salvation, then God is purposefully withholding faith from certain people and then placing them in hell because they don't have it...

There is a middle ground wherein the Lord calls people into saving faith in Jesus; as the Spirit draws that person to Christ, they begin to have enough faith to be able to take a step of faith the whole way in to saving faith in Jesus Christ. As in the case of Mar 9:22, And ofttimes it hath...

There is faith that we have for salvation; and then there is the gift of supernatural faith that can be given to us over and above that faith.

Jhn 6:66, From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 'nuff said!

Those who exercised faith in the Lord at the time of the first Passover had to take steps of action or obedience in order for the destroying angel to pass over them. They had to kill the paschal lamb and smear its blood on the lintels and on the doorposts. Is not baptism the New Testament...

The definition of the church is that it is the body of Christ, composed of every member, defined as individuals within the body. These members of the body of Christ are defined as those who have believed in and continue to believe in the gospel as defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

Why is there evil in the world; and why does God allow wars? My answer is that God has given us a free will either to love and obey Him or else to hate and disobey Him and do what will result in certain evils that we see in the world today. If we do not have a free will, then what is the...

We should all try to be the best kind of hypocrite...for a hypocrite is defined as someone who says one thing and does another... I should strive to be the kind of hypocrite that calls myself a sinner and yet practically lives a holy life...that is the best kind of hypocrite to be.

If you think that spiritual death has nothing to do with God's wrath...

I disagree...for I believe that the kjv is both inspired and inerrant...therefore it cannot be misleading as it is exactly what the Dr. ordered.

What I am saying is that there are relatively few who will overcome hypocrisy in their own lives, having found the way of truth.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, being the one Spirit, the one Lord, and the one God..

Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23... Jude 1:4 (kjv).
