OK, but my reply was to another member. However, I do agree that work is not enough. FAITH is also needed. BOTH are needed. Faith without works is dead. Works without faith are dead. Both faith and works are required for a believer.

1 Cor 3:15 is not properly understood. I started a thread on it some years ago but it had no interest. I'm happy to hear that SOMEONE agrees with me! :blush:

Yes. Of course! :okbro

I see that @LoveYeshua gave you a like and we usually agree, so I hope he sees this. I'm not sure what you meant by saying that not everyone who is saved is a good worker. You would have to explain this better. We need BOTH faith AND good works in order to be saved. WHY is it depending on...

Pain the lily? Is this a chinese expression?

Agreed. But I think you're a son. Know why? Only sons worry about this as much as you do. It's like those persons that wonder if they're really saved. Those that are NOT saved do not worry about it... Only the saved worry about their salvation. I'm sorry you feel worried about this GP...

You certainly have God's grace. Now you just need His peace! Only your understanding of God's love for you can give you that peace. How about John 3:16? FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON God loves the world so much, that He gave His only begotten Son.... Just like...

As @JLB has stated, and with which I agree, the rapture and the resurrection are one event and happen simultaneously. I do believe you agree with this. We have a language problem because some have taken the word RAPTURE to mean a removal of all believers from the earth before the tribulation...

I DO agree with you that we are to serve God and obey God's wishes. I also know that no man on this earth can live without sinning. So, at some point, we have to trust God and know that He knows us and that we're doing our best. There IS a penalty for not obeying God. He is not just love, but...

I just read your post no. 67.....you've got it right. Also, @JLB is very knowledgeable and has explained perfectly the resurrection. The word rapture has come to mean something that is not in the bible. But to get to your verses: 1 Thess 4:13-17 This is referring to the 2nd coming of Jesus at...

In your post 164 you state that we are to show our love in good deeds and not only in word. This is what James also said: James 1:21-22 21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22...

Agreed 100% Behold. But you seem to be forgetting about obedience. If we do good works, we are obeying God. If I remember correctly, YOU are the one that stated that it is not necessary to obey God. Or that good works are not necessary - or something to that effect. THIS is where you begin to...

Gave you a LIKE Stumpmaster...and I couldn't agree more. But wait... Some will take that to mean that after salvation we are to do NOTHING. In fact our good works are as filthy rags to God. I don't know you...hope that's not what you mean.

Can I simplify? For whatever reason you're obeying God... you are doing what Jesus said you should do. Jesus said THOSE THAT DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER will see heaven. Think of it as a marriage (but I do hate analogies). A wife obeys her husband because she loves him and wants to make life easy...

You're supposed to get the answer from the teacher! What do you mean by the RAPTURE?

Great explanation JLB! I hope @soberxp sees this. He's trying to find out about the rapture as it's understood by some to be a separate event. I agree wholeheartedly with your explanation above.

Hi Walter,,, Before starting to go through the below list,,,it's important to note that the OT was not a complete revelation. For a complete, final, and ultimate revelation of God we have to listen to what Jesus taught. For instance, even the Jews had an opposing opinion... The Saducees did not...

I just don't see rapture in the bible. The book of Revelation is not really meant to be used to create doctrine. It is written in different literary forms, and although it does teach doctrine, it also is writing in a prophetic manner. In fact, some think the rapture will be immediately at the...

Yes. Although we are born at different times and will die at different times. ALL will meet with Jesus at the resurrection. I don't know what you mean by the first resurrection and the second resurrection. There is ONLY ONE.

Angels could meet with Jesus in the sky anytime. This thread is not about the angels... it's about humans meeting with Jesus in the sky. The above sentence makes no sense in English. Expressions cannot be translated.
