An opinion shared by many...especially if they consider themselves to be truly converted. It is another way of saying "I am forever saved and no one can deny me my life in eternity with all the benefits and pleasures attached to that". And they all said..."amen."

The bible descriptives only works if you have experienced what is being described. Bible prescriptives only apply to seekers of truth. My issue is with they who have been taught to lie about something they have been indoctrinated into believing and saying....thinking there is no other level...

A Christian fulfills the requirements of the law by the Spirit. Love fulfills the law. No need for human effort. In fact get the carnal humanity away from soiling the walk.

What is that supposed to mean? You mean to presume that God worries about salvation as carnal men do?

You are making this about not hurting people's feelings with the truth. But it is the truth that sets us free...not feelings. You are making this about the flesh...again. In this age people are lawless and sinning while claiming to be in Christ while they do so. It is all lies of course. We...

I know you can read.....so why don't you read before responding? Eternal life....zoe life....is a KIND of life. A kind of life we can experience right now. It is the power of the life to come.

When one is lacking in understanding, it isn't good to turn on the teacher as if he is the one who has the problem. Where is the humility here? James is being honest and truthful. There are no discrepancies with Paul or Jesus in his epistle. It is a reality check. The difficulty is actually...

Sure. But he is showing a transformation that most believers are not experiencing....from being under the law to being under grace. ...from being subject to the law of sin and death to liberation by the law of the Spirit. What is lacking is an actual entering INTO Christ. When we abide in Him...

Oh boy... Whoever believes INTO Jesus has eternal life. It's a spiritual formula. It's like saying whoever enters into a plane has the life of a bird. IOW they can fly. The eternal life that John is speaking of is a KIND of life. ZOE life. This is a spiritual life that is found IN Christ. By...

Grace is where normal things don't happen. Grace overcomes law like an airplane overcomes gravity. The law of flight overcomes the law of gravity so that a heavy object can fly as if it was weightless. So it is with Christ and grace. We are under the law until we enter into Christ ...then we...

Sure...His grace is always at work. But people are justifying themselves as if grace was something they owned like a commodity. These people are fully unaware of God and His standard. If we claim something for ourselves...we lose any semblance of grace. So you can't have it both ways...if you...

Faith in God leads to miracles. Jesus said faith moves mountains. Is it so unreasonable that God's power would be sufficient to empower us to do His will? His grace is indeed sufficient. We just need to go to Him for it.

Greasy grace is a denial of the power of grace over sin. It is a form of godliness but denying the power. Instead, purveyors of powerless grace....fully ignorant of God's actual power.....will accuse truth-sayers of a works based salvation....because it is a salvation that actually works.

Are you saying that God does not justify the ungodly?

My snake venom...? Character assasination??? And I am blind to what I'm doing? The world is upside down... :) You will get half of the people or so agreeing with cheap grace...because it's the wide road that's easy. But don't confuse this with the narrow way that leads to life.

But that's still Romans 7.....not wanting to sin...but still being too weak in the flesh. That's not grace yet. That comes in Romans 8 whereby the flesh is overcome by the law of the Spirit. Now THAT's grace. :)

When we operate by faith, God empowers us to do the works prepared in advance....eternal kind of works. These works glorify God. They let people know that God is in our midst...that He is with us. Faith gets God moving in us and through us. The result is grace.

Same dead horse being beaten...hyper-grace fiction. For those who enjoy fiction, enjoy the thread.o_O

That's a ridiculous statement. Jesus taught by teaching using parables. The illustrations were a way of teaching the ways of the kingdom. You may have missed that.

Jesus is the word of God. You are idolizing a book. Of course the truth is spoken about in the bible. But the bible is not truth...Jesus is. The bible only testifies ABOUT the truth. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life! IS the bible the life of God to you?
