Are there two gospels or ONE?

James is the word of God. But to whom is James written?

Actually, read the Scripture. I'll post it for you.

James 2:19 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

What do the devils believe? That there is one God. Let's not add to Scripture.

According to you, the unclean devil would be saved because he acknowledges Jesus. That's all you need to do right?

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

Yesb they ate called the essemtials of the faith.
In fact you left some out.
I believe all of them.
That is Different that the point I am making.

The TRUTH IS; initial salvation may,or may not quoting or understanding those ESSENTIALS.
YES ESSENTIALS.
THEY ARE ESSENTIALS.
ESSENTIAL AND ETERNALLY ESSENTIAL.

You guys see sentences w/o hearing what is said.
John Doe gets radically saved.
He understands nothing of dbr.
10 minutes later he is taught ESSENTIALS.

You guys have him lost and going to hell for 10 minuted AFTER salvation.

I never heard of anything that absurd in my 40 years walking with Jesus

"19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

A lot of "religions" believe "there is one God" (they just don't believe that Jesus was God, but merely a prophet, a good man, an example to aspire to, a brother of satan, a leader of a new revolution, a ... [etc]).



[I was still typing when John146/poster posted his response ]

...and of course hebrews is also in the non aplicable pile of "take it or leave it i can skip it "conflict.

What else besides those do you get out of taking seriously?

Pssst, James was written before the gentiles were legitimised.
The first church was all jewish.
(How do you skip over it knowing there were no gentile churches at the time for james to write to?)

That means,you basically think the first churches were not only unsaved, but preached that they knew nothing of the dbr,even though,like paul,they witnessed it and were saved.

Oh.wait,paul,even though he wasn't saved gets a pass because you need him to be under some. Pre salvation dbr understanding or the salvation on the road to Damascus was a fluke.

James is saying the devils believe.

Believe but are damned. As are many of earths inhabitants.

Humor me
Watch it

Still waiting

QUOTE ;
"If you are so confident it escaped me, why not just quote the sermon by Peter at Pentecost? Then all of us can see at which part Peter taught that ""Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and God resurrect him on the third day as a proof that all our sins are forgiven and we are now the righteousness of God in Christ"
You can't because Peter used the death and resurrection of Christ to verify that Jesus is indeed the Messiah and the Son of God that was promised to the Jews. There is a big difference between that and what Paul used the cross for.[/QUOTE]



They both knew Jesus . that is way above formulas.
The both preached Jesus as savior.

Under your misunderstanding ,the early church is unsaved and the non pauline books are optional and to be refuted as irrelevant.

The non pauline books are irrelevant.

Wow.

What a mess.

Why do you say such things? I love the book of Hebrews and James. There are many applications to our lives today. Hebrews gives us a history lesson on our Savior.

To the twelve tribes...who are the twelve tribes all throughout Scripture? The twelve tribes all throughout Scripture are the nation of Israel as a whole and never a called out group from that nations as you suggest. Was the entire nation of Israel saved?

So your " who is it to" is abstractly applied at liesure?

And what of the author?

If non pauline,it is not very acvurate like James.

Remember.James is to the Hebrews.
Oooops

Hebrews as well
Do the same to that book.

Hebrews is Jews. So it,Hebrews , is NOT to the church.
Be consistent

And who wrote it.

Remember,no matter what.

Who wrote it,....and,.... To who

I betcha i can find paul only adherants that do that very thing to Hebrews.

Doctrine is direct, literal teaching I should heed to for my life. Application is taking a lesson and spiritually apply it to my life.

In the book of Jonah, God gave directions to literally follow. Those directions were for Jonah, not me. Spiritual application: I too have directions to follow. I too have a message to give. It's not a message of destruction but a gospel message. It's not just to Nineveh, but the whole world.

God's directions in the book of Jonah is FOR me to study and apply principles, but not TO me to live by literally.

TO not FOR

Yepb Hebrews is another that bites the dust.

Could be authored by Paul.
But maybe not.

Can we take the chance?

NO. IT MUST BE EVICTED AS IS JAMES.

So Faith,prayer, believing, in James is metaphorically applied like a lesson from Joannah?

Oh dear,i found something really bad.
That ole non inspired book to the jews is another false gospel.
Imediately strike it down.

Note the different Gospel:
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
What a shame. Another deal where it was to and for some strange people.

But wait. It gets even worse;
The Epistle to the Hebrews
The drift and end of this Epistle, is to show that Jesus Christ the Son of God both God and man, is that true eternal and only Prophet, King, and high Priest, that was shadowed by the figures of the old Law, and is now indeed exhibited: of whom the whole Church ought to be taught, governed and sanctified.

1 2 To show that the doctrine which Christ brought, is most excellent, in that it is the knitting up of all prophecies, 4 he advanceth him above the Angels: 10 And proveth by divers testimonies of the Scripture, that he far passeth all others.

1 At [a]sundry times and in divers manners God spake in the old time to our fathers by the Prophets: in these [b]last days he hath spoken unto us by his [c]Son,

I tell you it is looking bad,very bad that God the father mis understood salvation.

Post Scripture please and we can discuss. Thanks.

One way to look at it is like this:

--some contexts/passages are about our Rapture, whereas other contexts/passages are about His Second Coming to the earth. Those who do not distinguish these, blur them all together into the same point in time. Distinguishing them (as we are called to do) is not evil, heresy, wicked, nor disregarding all other Scriptures as unbiblical or uninspired (by God), though some like to accuse it [a certain rapture-doctrine] as such . It is applying the Scriptures properly ("rightly/correctly apportion [G3718]," rather than to apply it all in some willy-nilly fashion, thus making it mush)
