I agree :)

Why do you read the Bible? To find God's will! Not to be good in knowing the Bible or because you worship the Bible. Its all about finding God and knowing God.

This is our goal. Our goal is not to be good in the Bible verses, our goal is to be good in knowing God and His will. And Bible helps us with this.

What is it good for if we have our Bibles and know it from the Genesis to Revelation and are evil, attack each, lie to each other, hate each other or live in sin?

To have the Bible and to know the Bible is not the goal. The goal is to be transformed to the image of Christ. That is our goal.

After studying and reading the Word with understanding given by the Holy Spirit we discover, religion is exactly what is taught in the Word.

In very brief, our faith is the faith of Abraham.......find out for yourselves exactly what this means. I don't think any Pope has understood this to date.

Then, as is written about what religion is, take it from James (Ibelieve), religion that is pure and true is helping widows and orphans in thier affliction..... I believe the stranger falls into this area also, since any wayfarer is alone in all regard.

You tell me, but know from the Word beforehand, and by from the Word I imply by means of the Holy Spirit....

But we're supposed to lead others to THE TRUTH

And even if we have grown up into THE HEAD unto the full mmeasure of CHRIST and are able to discern the perfect will of GOD and the good works prepared for us to do, those who are babies dont


anf unless we are going to stay with them in their new walk, we need to point them to THE WORD and to prayer that GOD will strengthen the hem as they are fed of THE WORD by THE WORD HIMSELF

I did it. I'm not sure if you were serious, but I did create the thread regarding the Law and The Prophets

hopefully we can all discuss what CHRIST meant and why HE said The Law will not pass
