    It doesn’t apply to the Christian, I believe it’s a judgment of the nations (v.33) in how they treated the Jews during the tribulation.

    Two things... 1 Where in Scripture does it say 'faith off'? 2. If it is the faith of Jesus that justifies, and God is not willing that any should perish, why aren't all people saved?

    That’s the post I quoted in full. I guess I should have been more specific and asked ‘what proof do you have that ‘of’ takes away glory from God and ‘in’ gives glory to man?’

    I too believe all glory should go to God, but I see very little difference between ‘in’ and ‘of’. What difference do you see?

    There is a present rest (sabbath) (Mat 11:28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Mat 11:29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Mat 11:30) For my yoke is easy, and my...

    Research: Majority of Americans Believe Works Are the Key to Salvation

    I just looked at 13 different versions and 11 said 'in Christ' one said 'by the faithfulness of Christ' (NET) one said 'by the faith of Christ' (KJV) (even NKJV said 'faith in Christ'.) I suppose it can be argued both are true... We are justified by faith in the faithfulness of Christ. I see...

    You should ask yourself 'why do they hate the poor?' Scripture says because they don't have Jesus (the love of God in their hearts). And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rom 5:5)

    @peldom10 since you disagreed with this posting, does that mean you deny that Jesus is God?

    If you had carefully read my post you would have seen I was not speaking of an annual or even weekly Sabbath, but rather of the rest we have in/with Christ. I personally we are to 'now' enter His rest by ceasing from our works and rest in His work... For he that is entered into his rest, he...

    Biden Says Abortion Will Cause a Revolution

    As expected Biden is stoking the flames blaming the Supreme Court for their decision. I saw this type of thing during the Rodney King L.A. riots where the mayor of L.A. blamed the police chief, giving a green light to the rioters.

    Yes, but which God? The one who like Allah, demands obedience, leaving his adherents in doubt of their future or the God of the Bible who promises salvation on account of His Son's obedience? lol, I asked first, when you answer mine I'll answer yours... "How many works must one do before they...
