We basically take it to mean that as well Ferris, gaining friends for God by means of our unrighteous riches. I personally don't quite understand it because of the way it was written, the boss was dissatisfied with his service and was intent on discharging him, so he used the bosses wealth to...

Yes sir, Christians do live the law of the Christ, which gives us what is termed, Christian identity. Jesus used the term fruits, which is our conduct, speech, obedience that we display that identifies us to the world, as well as to our brothers and sisters that we are Jesus' disciples.

Sincerity is a key to learning sir. The Bible doesn't contradict itself, so when it appears to, then understanding comes into play. All humans are sinners against God including Christians, so how are they dead to sin? Simple, because we Christians have out of God's love been given a redemption...

I would say the main reason is Biblical knowledge Joe.

Exactly Rob, that one is the God the Word was with in Jn 1:1. Great call sir.

So then you openly admit all sin and fall short of the glory of God now, why didn't you simply do that to begin with? The law was given to show that it is impossible for humans to live sinless. Not one individual was able to live it, hence the reason for Jesus' sacrifice for Christians. You do...

That is why a person should conduct themselves honestly in all things Vicky. To do their utmost to live their lives in harmony with the law of the Christ.

Aah! Now we agree, so then since all of us are sinners, how do you harmonize passages that seem to indicate that Christians do not sin?

Jesus removes all who are "outside the Kingdom" upon his return sir. I guess we will have to see how it plays out.

I am glad you are sinless sir, we all sin, but I hope you are correct. Since you say the Bible says you don't have to sin, and that all sin, may I ask since you likely believe as I do that the Bible doesn't contradict itself, how the verses harmonize, in other words what does it mean to be dead...

Obedience is always necessary for one to be in good standing with God Rob. It is true what many say that works cannot save you, but on the same token, faith cannot as well, it is a combination of accurate faith, and righteous works for Jehovah. Works and faith in any other god will not suffice...

I have always found that a strange account Matt, like you said Jesus gave it, and it is not literal, but clearly the "manager" was basically a thief, although he took no money, he expected to make friends at the expense of the employer. Why would Jesus promote something like this in a positive...

When words like this comes up in old English versions of the Bible, I find that the web site Blue Letter Bible can be quite beneficial in our understanding in what is being said. You simply type in the word in the search, and everywhere it occurs in the Bible it will come up. Then under tools...

The part of the prophecy that was for the destruction of Jerusalem was fulfilled in 70 CE Matt. The part undergoing fulfillment today will encompass the entire populace of the world. Soon Jesus will return and remove all Kingdoms of this world.

I see Micky, I actually thought that is what you meant, but I responded upon what was written. I should have asked you to clarify that is what you meant, but only being here once a day, I felt it best not to delay, however it took the same amount of time to clarify anyway, so I should have asked...

You started off accurately, and then went on to say you do not sin, more power to you as well You started off accurately Taken, and then changed your mind, I salute you as well sir, more power to you in your no sin situation, as for me however I fully realize that is not going to happen, so I...

I certainly salute you for being able to make it through this life sin free Chris, I am not able to say that, but more power to you.

Since those of the first resurrection will rule along with him, that is highly unlikely don't you think Taken? Who will they rule over if the rest of the dead are not resurrected. I think you are getting confused by what is meant by them not coming to life till the end of the thousand years...

Lets just say I am aware of those who say one thing, and yet do another. I say faith is essential in salvation, and that works is evidence of real faith. I preach not only because it is our assignment, but out of love for Jehovah and love for my neighbor. The Bible indicates that when Jesus...

Humans are in fact flesh Mick, all humans even the ones Paul was speaking to the born again, sin every day. All of us Christians have our own personal thorns in the flesh, none of us are immune. Believe me if Paul who was personally selected and anointed by Jesus struggles with sin, how much...
