It's nice and Christianly to feel sorry for the poor and sick... But it's a lot better to do something about it. I do believe James spoke to this. James 2:15-17 15If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be...

He has a PhD in many feelings. I've spoken to him about this... but does he listen? NOOOOOO!

Yeah. You know that verse I like: Colossians 3:23 23Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, If we do what we do for man, we never seem to have enough strength... when we do it for God we seem to have more strength.

Slaves work because they have to. Friends work because they want to. We are friends of Christ. Thus we desire to do good things for humanity...it could be just caring well for our own family. But if we don't desire to do anything...what does it say of us? And I still don't understand why some...

The fact that you have NOT been hearing about it is the alarming part. Because there are many non-biblical ideas floating around these days that persons will argue about for pages...so it seems like heresy is accepted these days. I agree with @brakelite that a small remnant will remain...I do...

I don't know what Lordship Salvation is. I learned my theology from two different churches many years ago and the learning continues. However, it seems to sound right. Jesus is not only our Savior, He is also our Lord. Lord means master,,,,just as you've stated; except He is our heavenly...

Will reply only to the last....regarding the verses I posted. John 14:21 John 15:10 1 John 5:3 John 14:21 Jesus Himself says that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. This means that there are commandments to keep... IF we love Him. So, if there are no works, wouldn't you agree...

I think some get brainwashed by their church and don't really read the bible anymore. I had read an article some time back (a year or two) that Protestants were becoming as back as Catholics in the sense that they do not read the N.T. At least not the younger generations. This might be the...

What a great post!

Hey A, Nice to see you here. Our works do NOT save us. Are we supposed to do them AFTER we're saved?

I thought the same. But we don't know why he did this. I also feel he gave her wrong advice... This is why I feel that it's important to trust God and not man. I have a friend that won't make a move unless she speaks to her spiritual adviser. Now, we might all need one every now and then,,, but...

Here's what I believe your point is: We are saved by faith alone...no works involved. (Agreed) After salvation it is JESUS only,,,or FAITH ONLY,,,that keeps us saved. Everything is up to Him. I THINK you're also saying that salvation cannot be lost once it is achieved. On these two matter...

Actually, @Grailhunter is right. Jesus DID NOT speak about "being saved" or "salvation" more than 4 or 5 times at the most. What Jesus DID speak a great deal (about 100X) about how to get to heaven... this INCLUDED having our spirit being in tune with God's spirit. John 3:3,5

Sorry HR,,,can't remember if I've answered this. What do YOU mean by obeying God? What is THE LAW to your understanding? Are there works under the law... and Works under faith? Do you think God wants to be obeyed.. or does He just make requests?

Ha! It makes us feel more beautiful. LOL Really, I don't care for too much make-up. Anyway, my skin can't take it...so I'm safe!

Too tired to reply... tomorrow...

Had to give you a like for that one! Yeah W, but it gets so tiring,,,,but I DO feel it's very necessary. I very much agree with all you've said and also @Episkopos ... I think we've all made good points,,,and I venture to say that there's not much to be done. If there's a very specific...

But is Christianity an "opinion"? Does being a Christian mean anything anymore? It's one thing to understand baptism differently.... It's another thing to declare we need not obey God.

No. What I'm saying is that it's not easy to speak spiritually. We might totally misunderstand what someone means.... Different denominations use different phrases for the same idea. Far be it for ME to want to control thinking or language. I grew up with 1984/Brave New World/Farenheit 451 (the...

If anyone really wants to know about Mother Theresa... they should not read books ABOUT her, but read a book that is ONLY letters that she wrote. It's called: Come Be My Light
