ALL in a specific and well-determined context.

No, it's not. For a doctrine to be biblical, it must have sufficient biblical support and be demonstrated without a doubt. Furthermore, it cannot contradict any fundamental teaching of Christ or that his followers have clearly expressed in their inspired writings.

That is false. Men can't invent what is truth or a religious lie or determine by themselves what God aproves or not. We need to study the Bible to know those things. We can't invent a god to our own liking, nor judge ourselves for the eternity under our own laws.

It does not matter if after the second century some Christian apologist defended some belief that the Christian biblical Scriptures do not seem to clearly support... The Bible itself says that in times when the apostles were still alive there were individuals who also speculated on the things...

1 Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will...

Obviously doing good works and not practicing the things that God condemns are not the only things that determine salvation, but their role in it is decisive. Psal. 37:10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11...

John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Rom. 1:28 Just as they did not see fit...

No one is going to be saved by the works they do, BUT as the Bible says, the works that are done are what will determine the outcome of the judgment; that is a common factor in all these passages ... and no one can nulify the Scriptures because he doesn't like what they say:

As seen, the Scriptures show that there is a judgement based on each one's works, as James said under inspiration to every empty man: James 2:20 But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless?

And still, your opening post is wrong, according to the Scriptures.

Your opening post is wrong, according to the Scriptures.

The canon of the Hebrew Scriptures was traditionally divided into three sections: the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, or Hagiographa, contained in 24 books (...). By further combining Ruth with Judges, and Lamentations with Jeremiah, some Jewish authorities counted 22, the same as the...

The Hebrew Scriptures, known as Old Testament were finished 4 centuries before Jesus. He and his disciples quoted profusely of them. They are the same we can read and study today. They were even translated to Greek already.

Yes. Your opening post is still wrong, according to the Scriptures. James the Less had one brother: Josés/José, the other son of Cleophas/Alphaeus and the other Mary. (Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:40,47) James the brother of Jesus had three more brothers: Joseph, Judas and Simon, sons of Joseph and...

According to the Scriptures, your opening post is wrong. James the Less (apostle) is one person, ...and James the Just (not apostle), the brother of Jesus and bishop of Jerusalem is a diferent person.

Rev. 22:12 “‘Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to repay each one according to his work. Psalm 62:12 Also loyal love is yours, O Jehovah, For you repay each one according to his deeds. Is. 40:10 Look! The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will come with power, And his arm will...

James, the son of Mary was: the brother of the Lord, James the Just, the bishop of Jerusalem, the writer of the letter. He died 62 CE. James, the son of Clephas and the other Mary was: one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who followed him everywhere (Luke 6:15; Matt. 19:28). In these two...

We know that Jesus absolutely believed everything the Bible said was true (Read the quotes I included before). John 17:17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. Do you think Jesus would have said to anyone "The Bible contradicts itself"? John 10:35 (...) the scripture cannot...

When Jesus preached on earth, the Hebrew Scriptures (which some call the Old Testament) were already complete and could be read and studied. Did Jesus believe everything he read in the Bible? Did he believe that God created a man from dust and then a woman as his mate (Matt. 19:4-6)? Did Jesus...

Haven't you wondered why many modernized Christians don't believe that Adam and Eve were real people, even though Jesus considered them the first couple of humans created by God? Or why not even the Jews themselves believe that Moses really existed, and think that the 40 years in the desert...
