My response to James 2:21: See Romans 4:2. Also 1 Samuel 16:7. Abraham was justified at the time that he believed in the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness...what was the timing of this? At Genesis 15:6...many years before he offered Isaac on the altar! God saw Abraham's...

diligently...Hebrews 11:6 (kjv).

Indeed...the author of Hebrews was writing to a group of Jewish people who had come to faith in Jesus Christ...who were considering going back to Judaism, and in doing so, forsaking the doctrine brought to them by Jesus and the apostles.

See Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv). The for ever fear of the LORD acts as a safeguard against falling away--so that those who fear Him shall not depart (i.e. walk away) from Him. I am certainly not against Catholics...I believe that they also can be born again of the Holy Spirit through faith alone...

The Galatian Christians were in danger by the Judaizers who said that they could not be saved unless they became a part of Israel in the sense of becoming circumcised Jews. Paul fought in that book for the concept that they were saved through faith in Jesus apart from circumcision (i.e...

Of course, food is a necessity also!

I consider that my medicine is simply a "necessity". The scripture at hand has taught me to take pleasure in it. On a related note, the whole thing is a strong evidence to me of a pre-tribulation rapture; because with the necessity of this thing in my life, I would be a sitting duck for them...

I believe that I have Jewish blood in me, and that, as such, Colossians 3:1-4 does not fail to apply to me; for it is a portion of the word of God that is to all people; not just Gentiles. I am not going to be excluded from heaven if I do have Jewish blood. And Paul wrote his epistle to the...

They say it is the mother of invention.

The Old King Jimmy includes "necessities" in that verse. That is the one that really ministered to me.

The book of 1 Peter was written in part to the region of Galatia, which was primarily Gentile (and this is among the books that you do not count as being to us, according to your premise). Sp then, Peter is a valid author for us Gentiles. Also, in 2 Peter 1:3-4, Peter speaks of the exceeding...

I don't know if this is a word of knowledge or anything...but is there someone in your life who got saved; and you resent the fact that they got saved, and want them to fall away? @BreadOfLife

There is a type of faith that doesn't save (James 2:14-17). I consider that this is a certain mental assent to the tenets of the gospel, that does not change the person's life, based on what I have learned so far.

You still didn't look up the verses, I see...

If those with epignosis are capable of falling away, then epignosis cannot mean a heart faith (Romans 10:10) although it may be an intellectual assent to the reality of the Holy Bible that is with certainty. Because John 6:47 says that those who believe on Christ have everlasting life. John...

However please answer this:

I have found that in all of my reading of the Bible, I have never found a scripture that truly contradicts any other scripture. There is always a reconciliation. You should consider that the Holy Ghost teaches us when we compare spiritual thing with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv))...when...

There you go!

I'm done with "contending" for now. Will be back later. Time for devotions.
