Scaliafan.... I told you so! It was a while back, but I did mention it! I in no way am throwing in your face.... I am rejoicing with you that you see it even though it is sad. The Hebrews told Samuel they wanted a king so they could be like other nations. They didn't want a proven prophet...

When James said that devils believe an tremble, what was it that he said that they believe? The answer: that there is one God. Through other scripture we know that they also knew that Jesus was the son of God. But did they believe that Jesus was their savior? Of course not. So their belief...

With all due respect to H. Richard (and I mean that sincerely) I somewhat agree with Zachary. At the start of and during Jesus' ministry the Jews were still under the law and the new covenant was starting. Jesus addressed the law and expounded on it, he even endorsed it (as I do, even as a...

Don't have much of a life outside of Christ. But no.... At least in the sense that i consider what the effects of my outside life are in relation to Christ. In other words, i ask how things i do affect my walk.

1. I've been a bit grumpy lately with folks taking things out of context. If you want to apply Mat 7:17 universally, fine. Paul himself did that a few times. But at least first understand it in its original context (which I'm sure you do). We are talking about works and whether they are...

So where'd the jackass take you? I nissed 2/3 the teachings of Jesus? Well, you know.... If everything he did was written.... 2/3 in regards to what? In regards to how much you post? Well the last time you accused me of ignoring Jesus i did an on the spot survey and foubd i quoted him twice...

Look harder or take the veil off

It shouldn't. I suspect it'll be the same old rhetoric you've given for months. Why not just cut and paste one of your old posts? God said in the book of Isaiah that he would do a new thing. Why don't you try doing something new?

The problem is that those you are trying to indoctrinate are like thr Bereans. And they ain't buying it! You try to tell us the law wasn't done away, yet ee read 2 Cor 3 and see it directly contradicts your teaching. You say that Paul kept the law, yet weread 1 Tim 1:15 and we see him saying...

Well you didn't respond to anyof my questions either. But that's ok because they were rhetorical. They actually did answer Joyce's question by exposing it as rediculous. Besides, I don't have children so the question doesn't apply to me. Hebrews 6:6 is not about "not sinning". Its about...

Barrd. The only flirting I'm guilty of is that for some reason I like your spirit. You're knowledge of the Word is pretty ugly. So is your attitude towards me. Did you not look to shame me for not knowing the beatudes? Hey... I can recite the whole sermon IN the mount (almost). Why can't...

It was John Calvin that said,"grace is not a license to sin". I find that hilarious because most folks that insist we are still under the law hate the guy! Shows they don't know much about Church history. We need a license to sin like the coona$$es in Louisiana need a license to fish. If...

So what about the rest of the epistle other than the debate on works and faith? James was dealing with a situation similar to Paul's problems with the Corinthians. Not the same thing, but a similar one. Laying aside the few verses where James tries to associate works with faith.... What...

Do you have a battlement on your house? Are you wearing polyester or some other mixed blend of cloth? Do you give 10% of your income before taxes to your Church? Did you send Joyce an offering? Have you looked at a woman and lusted in the last 24 hours? Ever take a pen home from work? Have...

I was chopping at the bit wanting to answer Barrd's post, but i waited to see what others said. I agree 100%! Romans 5:20 says the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded.....

Some folks just seem to like to put new wine into old wineskins. Appearently God didn't see man living up to the law. He sent his son as a sacrifice, and STILL some people aren't accepting God's will.

Mat 7:16 is talking about how to identify false prophets, not how to identify if one has faith. Jesus talked about how to do that in the 6th chapter, and it was not for men to see, but for God to see. "Fruits" we are supposed to have are listed in Eph 5 and i believe Gal 5. They aren't works...

2. No he didn't. Read more carefully. 3. Mortal sin.... Sins of the flesh??? Yea we all continue in them until the day we die. 4. No I don't... Says nothing about vanity in Mat 7:22 and Jas 1:27 says nothing about vanity either. 5. There are no airports in heaven.... Never cared much for...

James was looking for justification in the eyes of men.

This is the foundation of the new covenant. Paul, James and John noted it. Peter probably did too but i can't remember when. I might be slipping!
