    PETER AND PAUL PREACHED DIFFERENT GOSPELS

    Gal 1 6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you...

    God's Love and Grace

    Sounds like grace That is what God has done for us, He has given to us, who were homeless and without hope. and offered us a new home, which can never be tore down.

    God's Love and Grace

    Its interesting how our word Charity comes from another Greek word from whence we get the word Grace (Charis) And how to many, Charity is a bad word. its like you try to help people. and in pride they refuse and get angry, because it is a huge barrier to admit we are broken and need help...

    Not by works - but by faith

    James said their faith was dead. He did not say they had faith, then lost it I think this is why where the confusion comes in. How can we say we are not saved by works, if works are required to keep us from falling from grace or they are required in addition to faith to save us. James is...

    God's Love and Grace

    I think when we think of love in the sense of the english word we think of Phileo or brotherly love. or using just the word, In our culture we love those who we can benefit from, IE If you can help me, I will love you.. When you stop feeding me, I will take my love elsewhere where someone else...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    We are predestined based on Gods foreknowledge. Whom he foreknew he did predestination He predestined based on his will. What is his will? and the basis for predestination? John 6: 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will...

    God's Love and Grace

    I wonder if many realize there are differing greek words for Love also. And that when God speaks of his love for his children, he speaks of Agape love which is a sacrificial love, The kind of Love how wants us to share with others. And as we saw in my last post. The kind of Love he showed...

    God's Love and Grace

    John 15: 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. But is Gods love just for his close friends? John 3: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not...

    Eternity with God. That is where I determine to go after I am resurrect. I showed you two judgments using 2 greek words and two end results. Would you like to discuss them? So I guess paul was talking to non believers?

    Not by works - but by faith

    Romans 8:23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. Here paul tells us when the day of redemption will be Our redemption will not be complete until our bodies are...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Works salvation 101 We are initially saved in the spirit Then we must perfect ourselves/make ourselves holy in the flesh (by our works)

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Amen If I am saved because I was baptized. Then I can boast of saving myself If I am saved because of the eucharist, I can boast of saving myself If I am saved by acts of penance. Then I can boast in having saved myself God gets no glory, Because God did not do the work.

    1. Because they are two different types of judgment A krino judgment and a Bema judgment have different purposes.. 2. Because of the end result Bema: Those at the bema are given rewards for their works. God silver precious stone, wood hay and straw. And even the one who has nothign to show...

    Not by works - but by faith

    I did quote the verse.. Um no it is not today, It would be the day our redemption is fulfilled. If it was today, Then the seal of the HS is quite meaningless. Its not an issue in the greek, the issue is in the english, There is no english verb for faith, I do not faith (verb) in God, I have...

    I am not talking about nations We have the bema seat judgment (for all must come before the judgement seat (BEMA)to be judged for their works) And we have the Krino judgment or great white throne (And they were judged (Krino), each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast...
