No one hardly responds to this post because , why should they? If you say anything that should really be done, then they tell you you need to 'love your enemies'. So, I will play the devils advocate, and say what I don't really believe. Why don't you just leave your kids in the school and...

"till" Matt. 5:17-18 Stranger

I never said you did suggest James should not be in the Bible. Why do you keep suggesting things I haven't said? Be specific. What Scripture are you saying I should consider? James was writing to believing Jews. Jews who accepted Christ. He is writing a Christian letter. It can't be any...

I appreciate your apology. Sometimes in the middle of a discussion things get muddy. H.Richard is offering grace at the expense of the book of James. Is that what Christians want who believe in salvation by grace through faith? If so, what other book might be labeled as a work of law...

I believe it to be one of Satans angels that was over the kingdom of Persia. It was higher in authority than the angel first sent to Daniel and was able to block him. Therefore a higher angel from God was sent, Michael, to remove this block. I believe it is a look into the spirit warfare that...

I don't see Christ's second coming the same as the rapture. The rapture is imminent in that no prophecy needs to be fulfilled for it to occur. How could He return when He hadn't left? Stranger

I'm not sure what you'r asking? The 'how' is always from God. And I believe it can happen at any time. Stranger

I'm not sure who 'your' is you are addressing. But, I disagree. There is no miscommunication. I understand exactly what is being said. Thus I speak. As a moderator do what you feel you need to do. But don't think I misunderstand what is being said. Stranger

I didn't say it was written to Gentiles. I said James is a Christian letter and was not written under law. Guess what. Paul makes the mistake of agreeing with James in Acts 21. So, do you count Paul's writings as written under law as you do James? James and many Jews had a hard time...

We are on topic. When you talk about faith and works, inevitably you use the book of James. If someone believes James is not a Christian letter, how can I ignore that. I can't. Stranger

I didn't say they were Gentiles. I said James is not writing under law. James is writing a Christian letter to the believing Jews. He is not writing to them as under law. You just quoted it. "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ" Then in vs 2 he says, "My brethren" In...

It was suggested that James wrote under the Law. Which makes the book of James not a Christian book but a Jewish law keeping book. This supposedly explains all the 'law' and 'work' references in James. I disagree with this. James is a Christian book and is not written to or for those...

This question is not to me but I would offer my two cents. The rapture can take place at any time. One can observe the religious and political nature of the world and can see how it could be set up for the Tribulation to begin. And if one is pre-trib, such as myself, then that would mean if...

So what were those verses? Stranger

Well then, my statement remains that I agree with the verses you gave. I just don't agree with you.. See reply #86. Stranger

Actually He told the 'eleven'. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holiyl Ghost: You see? That is after the law. Jesus fulfilled the Law. Because of that, He can offer grace. Stranger

You got 18 because you trusted someone else's count. It is either that or you don't know how to count. Stranger

Be specific in the verses you quote. Give the verses where they are found where you say they disagree with me. You give 2Peter 3:16 as the final verse that supposedly proves your point. All throughout your argument you fail to give the verses that supposedly speak against my view with their...

The verses you cite do not teach against salvation by faith alone. And I agree with those verses. I just don't agree with you. Stranger

Salvation entails several aspects. Being saved from the penalty of sin. Being saved in your daily walk from sin. And being completely saved, body, soul, and spirit, from the presence of sin. Water baptism is not necessary for being saved from the penalty of sin. I believe it is necessary to...
