WRONG again. James uses the SAME root word for "believe" (v. 19) as he does "faith" (pisteuo) in verse 24. and in ALL the other verses in this chapter. YOUR problem is your rejection of CONTEXT . . .

And this simply shows that your lack of faith in God's ability is pathetic. Rev. 13:8 also says that the Lamb was slaim BEFORE the foundations of the world. His sacrifice is ETERNAL. You can believe that God simply spoke and the entire universe lept into existence - but you CAN'T believe that...

WRONG. The SAME word that is used for "Belief" is used for "Faith". James 2:24 states: You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. This could just as easily and honestly be rendered as: You see that a person is justified by works and not by BELIEF alone. James's...

First of all - where does the bible say there WEREN'T children in these households. Peter said that the promise was for them AND their CHILDREN (Acts 2:39). WHY are the Early Church Father UNANIMOUS in stating that this was a teaching passed down by the Apostles themselves?? Secondly - we're...

Nope - just teaching YOU how to properly divide Scripture.

WRONG. Show me where Scripture tells us that Baptism is a PHYSICAL “burial” in water. Show me ONE explicit example of a Baptism in the NT. You can’t because there ISN’T one. We only know HOW to baptize from Tradition. As a matter of fact – the prophecy about Baptism that we read in Ezekiel...

WRONG. He COMMANDED us to eat His Flesh and drink His Blood (Matt. 26:26–28, Mark 14:22–24, Luke 22:19–20, 1 Cor. 11:23–25) – and at the Last supper, gave us the means and the formula for doing just that. He stated repeatedly that UNLESS you did this – you would have NO life within you (John...

WRONG. Acts 15:20 is talking about the blood of animals because the life of the ANIMAL is in the ANIMAL'S blood. HOWEVER, there is ONE being whose life we WANT in us - and that is Christ. The prohibition against animal blood doesn't apply here.

Can you explain to me WHY they were forbidden to consume blood? This is where you LOSE your case . . .

WRONG. That's not "Faith" - that's BELIEF. The DEMONS also believe that Jesus is the Son of God (James 2:19) - but they have no FAITH (belief + obedience). That is the WHOLE point of James 2:19-26. As for "going down" into the water and "coming up" out of the water - that doesn't imply full...

There are 3000 people on the day of Pentecost who prove you WRONG: Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And (then) you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. They were baptized BEFORE being forgiven...

Ahhhhh, yes - the "denial" game. Thank GOD for online forums . . .

It's even MORE nuts to claim that Christians don't or CAN'T sin - when Scripture clearly says that we DO (Rom. 7:14-25, 1 Tim. 1:15, James 5:16, 1 John 1:8).

God prepared works in advance for us to do. His will, however is NOT always followed. Every day, we have a thousand opportunities to do His will and we ALWAYS fall short. John 6:29 is NOT talking about easy-believism. The word for "believe" in this verse (πιστεύητε) is the SAME word used for...

Let's see where we are i this asinine little game you're playing . . . I made the Biblically-correct statement that we are not perfect because we still sin. YOU responded by stating that this doesn't apply to YOU. -Yet, when I called you on it - you state that you "never" made this claim. Like...

Have you actually READ the attacks I am responding to? Where is your condemnation of them??

Yes – the first clue is your complete failure to recognize sarcasm . . .

No – you’re LYING again, as usual. Back in post #413, I told YOU that nobody is good because we still sin. YOU responded in post #414 by saying: “YOU continue to COMMIT SIN. YOU are not good. YOU are not perfected. That does not APPLY to me.” You see – this is the beauty of an online forum...

Your cooperation WITH and response TO God's grace is a work, Einstein. Nothing to boast about. This is why Paul said that he boasted in his weaknesses (2 Cor. 12:9) - because it was the LORD who worked through them . . .

And YOUR point is that all you have to do is "believe" was squashed by James when he made this statement in the 2nd chapter of his Epistle: James 2:19-26 You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble. Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without...
