Come on ... do you really think the Holy Spirit would deprive you of writing your inaccurate interpretations of scriptures ... nah. On occasion, He'll allow you to do something meaningful! Just wait ... it will come.

God works through us, He gets the credit. He prepares works forus to do in accordance to His Perfect Plan. We can do nothing without Him. We receive power and abilities, gifts and orders from the Holy Spirit. We cooperate with His plan. James is really saying, let's see the works/ fruit of the...

Matthew traces Jesus lineage back to Abraham, (Father of the Jewish nation, identifying Him as their Messiah). Luke's genealogy goes back to Adam, connecting Jesus to not only the Jews , but to all mankind.

Matthew's gospel is clearly written for a Jewish Christian audience living within the immediate proximity of the homeland itself. Matthew's is the most Jewish of all the gospels with MATTHEW opens with a geneology. This would be a meaningless introduction to Gentiles. The Gospel of Matthew...

This is a futile conversation, you do know. You are locked until your belief system. If 100 scriptures can't persuade you, nothing can. Christ will sort things out for you later. But let we warn you, if you live by the LAW, you will be judged by the Law. What we believe is that Christ's blood...

As the Protestant church, with it's numerous denominations has flaws, so does the Catholic Church. But God is merciful! False prophecies, false teachers, errors, lies and deceptions have been on Satan's agenda since Christ. "Confuse them, distract them", deceive them, let them focus on empty...

What really is the falling away? Is it Christians, losing hope and faith and abandoning Christ? Born again Christians will not do this. Those whose seed was planted in shallow soil and did not take deep root, yes. But let's further define this phrase, " falling away", the "apostasy". It is also...

Yes, many will fall away from faith, be seduced ... Well, I have nothing to worry about, I feel pretty secure in my faith.

Let'sbe clear about demons( fallen angels). They did not have the power and ability of their boss, Satan. If they had the ability to appear as angels of light, we would be in trouble. Jesus cast out demons who possessed people. As far as I know,the Bible doesn't mention even demons appearing as...

Aside from the descriptions given for the New Jerusalem ( Rev. 21), I believe heaven is like a perfect earth. We see mountains, valleys, rivers, grass, flowers, animals, etc, ...beauty. But when we look close, we see flaws, defects, imperfections. We look in the mirror and see an imperfect...

Does it really matter? What matters is this: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we...

Yes, just the other day during a thunder storm a bolt of lightening came down from the heavens 200 feet from me right as I stuck my head outside my back door. Bomb. I not only saw it, I heard it too.

Okay, I went over the context and read many commentaries and In context, the Corinthians were being led astray by false Apostles and so yes, Paul was pleading to them _ confirming the truth he has given them _ the sacrifices he made _ with love _ not to be deceived by false Apostles with a...

Wow. Most Christians I know realized that God has always loved them. The message we give people ( not knowing which are His sheep) is that God loves them. When I was saved, it was a realization that God has always loved me, protected me and been there for me. He formed me in my mother's womb and...

You contradict yourself with these two statements. You aren't taking it literally. A literal appearance of an angel ( or Satan disguising himeslf as), is NOT what many people see. "Appear" does not mean figuratively, to inwardly sense, it means to see and experience an angel coming down from...

I take that verse literally. Have you ever seen an angel of light? I haven't. The Bible says we might have met or entertained angels without knowing, but frankly I don't recall meeting one. And if Satan did disguise himself as an angel of light, he would be bright and glowing, unmistakable from...

That is your understanding and that is okay. I don't need a verse nit supportive by most ancient manuscripts to believe in the Trinity, there are plenty throughout the Bible. Actually I would prefer that you were right.

" ... just not found in manuscripts" ... other than the Vulgate? In context, vs. 6 sets up the next two verses. It introduces this concept of water and blood. It is obvious they changed it, because vs. 7 & 8 KJV are not congruent, don't harmonize with vs. 6. Furthermore, vs 5 points to Jesus...

I am a Trinitarian, but believe this verse was added, because the original Greek was misunderstood by the early Church ... and even now. This is the confirming Witness of the Father of His only begotten Son. This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only...
