Not anymore I think, if that’s the case. Tong R4854

Of course, every verse must be taken in context. When a verse is quoted, needless to point out, the context is understood to be taken into consideration. It would be impractical to quote a whole chapter or more, not to mention the whole Bible, isn’t it? What I was requesting of you is to deal...

Well, the following scriptures are clear and we cannot explain away what they say. 1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 2 Peter 2:1...

God is, at least that’s how I see and know Him. Can’t imagine God not in control of His creation. If God is not in control of your life, who is? Are you in control of your life? If not your life, even while perhaps you claim to have surrendered your life to Him, what do you say does God...

<<<God made Man with the will to choose. The will to believe. The will to have faith. The will to obey. Be good and do good.>>> Phil. 2:13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. 2 Pet. 1:1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those...

As I said, what evil a deceived do is what makes him a sinner. But his being deceived, perhaps make him a fool, but is not what makes him a sinner. Not that it is okay to be deceived, for when deceived, he is put in a very dangerous position, corrupted by the lies, which when he acts on it...

<<<I still contend that he's referring to Jewish believers in 2:19, ….>>> First, that would be James 1:19, I guess. And yes, for I never said otherwise anywhere in my post. Tong R4848

NT Scriptures ever warns, do not be deceived by doctrines and commandments of men. Rather, hear and obey Jesus Christ, and be taught by the Holy Spirit who dwells in the Christian, even through His inspired words written in scriptures. Remember what Paul said to Timothy regarding the Scriptures...

James 1:James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. He was writing to his brethren, the Jews, who were numbered to belong in the church. James was talking about religion in James 1. I think, his point was to put...

Is is kind of like what you said in one of your post. Here’s the excerpt. “The Bible uses many metaphors to describe what took place on the cross. The New Testament also describes the cross in terms of a lamb, slain at the temple. It also describes the cross in terms of the atoning sacrifice...

It was you who said “Everybody went to hell before Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose again. Then everyone after that all were justified.” Those were your words, right? Since I believe you said that as per your reading of the Bible, that I asked of who among the apostles taught you that...

Where in scriptures did God enstate that? Tong R4843

And that is figurative language, is it not? Tong R4842

<<<In other words, the actions of a man are displaying what he truly believes, not just what he says he does.>>> James was talking about religion in James 1. I think, his point was to put contrast to what they (the Jews) think religion is. Tong R4841

What did you mean when you say “God through Christ reconciled the world back unto himself”? <<<for the other question the thief on the cross went to the paradise part of Sheol. He did not go to heaven right away not everything had been fulfilled just yet.>>> You said “Everybody went to hell...

What did Jesus accomplished by that? Tong R4839

Who among the apostles taught that? Tong R4838

Well, I don’t believe in that claim of the RCC Pope and of the RCC leadership and of the RCC church as a whole, nor believe what is claimed by them. I listen to what Paul says in admonition which says: Gal. 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what...

The deceiver is the sinner and the deceived is not. If I for example will go out and deceive you, I am the sinner in deceiving you. You, being the victim, does not sin when you were deceived. What you do afterwards is another matter. Tong R4836

<<<James never claimed the good “ religious” acts he espoused were going to get Anybody Justified on Judgement Day ......>>> Yes. Never said James claimed any of that. He was simply telling them what true and undefiled religion is. I think it was to put contrast to what they (the Jews) think...
