No comment. YOU find out about the birth pains...

BoL You need to calm down. Mary and Joseph were bethrothed. Nothing changes. Your argument above is rather silly. You would have used the word, ignorant, but I'm nice. Do not reply to this post. Thanks.

Now we're getting somewhere. You admit that JESUS did say to do works. Great. Now you could reread the Mathew verse you quoted and understand that Jesus was talking not BOASTING About your good works... He does want us to do them. When Jesus tells us to do something... We should obey. John 14:15

Defrauded? That's not exactly what I'm worried about. What about small kids? I doubt stranger is living in fear. This is too personal to talk about.

Who watches the news anymore? Every day it sounds like the end of the world. Nuff of that.

Maybe. Cannot remember...will look into it.

He admonished Peter in the garden, and gave them different directions when He sent out the Apostles in Mathew 10. Maybe because Jesus was still here on Earth...? No one can know this for sure. But in Luke 22:36 Jesus was leaving the apostles and He did tell them to buy a sword. People were...

We can say that good deeds are a SIGN of our salvation. They don't save, faith saves. But faith demands action. Faith could be a noun, and it could be a verb. Manana...

Paul says we are saved by grace through faith FOR GOOD WORKS. Ephesians 2:10 James says faith without works is dead. James 2:17 James says there is no use in saying to someone "Go in peace, be warm" and yet give them what is necessary for the body. IOW, we cannot only SPEAK nice things, we...

Mathew 5:20

PAUL IS NOT THE JUDGE JESUS IS THE JUDGE What did Mary say at the Wedding at Cana? LISTEN TO HIM DO WHAT HE SAYS John 2:5

No H.Richard THIS is how we will be judged: John 5:28-29 All who are in the tombs will hear HIS voice... And shall come forth. Those who DID THE GOOD DEEDS to a resurrection of life, those who commited EVIL DEEDS to a resurrection of judgement. Many are being led astray with the incorrect...

Of course. There is no discrepancy between what Paul says and what James says. It's the modern day church that wants to fill its pews with Easy Believers. They're told that all they have to do is walk down the isle ONE TIME, "accept Jesus" and they're saved forever. This is not what Jesus...

We are NOT UNDER the Law. This would be the Old or Mosaic Covenant. HOWEVER, the Law is not abolished. Mathew 5:17 The terms Justification and Sanctification were interchangeably used in the N.T. by Paul. This was sorted out the the church, both in the beginning by the early Christian...

OK H.Richard I'm home... First of all, whatever happened to your response to me as to some kind of support that James was not written to everyone? 2 Timothy 3:16 says that ALL scripture is inspired by God. That the man of God may be equipped for every good WORK. Oh no. Two terrible thoughts...

Mary, "Leaning" does not make a statement true. There must be hard and fast evidence. If the Prot of James could be proven authentic, it would say a lot. But there are so many doubts by those who should know. Even the CC says that Jesus might have had brothers but that they would have been...

The above is so wrong that I won't even comment. And what about Mathew 1:25? SHE WAS NOT STATING AN INTENTION. She was stating that she had never been with a man. This was before she and Joseph were married.

Interesting post. You said the Catholic Church has NO POSITION, officially, on most verses. How could this be if the church does a lot of teaching as you often state? How could this be if Don Angelo does a bible study every Friday evening? The only one, BTW, in a region of about 10,000 or...

Yes. Everyone seems to hang on tight to their very own idea. I've asked you previously to show your source for this idea that James is not for every Christian. You never did. Let me ask you this: Who was Mathew written to?

Will write again from home. I agree that we are justified by faith alone. No way could we work for our salvation. If so, Jesus would not have had to atone for our sons. But do works not come after salvation? After salvation, is there not sanctification? Justification is only the work of God...
