    The sower

    I can fully see in Luke's account that the sower is none other than the Lord. Notice it states, "his seed." And the seed is the word of God. His seed, his word. Interesting... Luke 8 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and...

    Jesus Was Made Perfect?

    One of the reasons he became flesh is to suffer temptation, overcome temptation, and now he is able to emphasize with man and help us in our time of need. Hebrews 2: 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it...

    How did Peter walk on water

    Peter live up to his new name when he took his eyes off the Lord. Was this a prophecy? He sank like a stone.😂 John 1: 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

    Do you believe that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

    To whom is James 4 written? The same group we read about preaching the word in Acts 8? Come one now, let the word be honest. James 4: 1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire...

    Do you believe that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

    Are you building an ark? Why not? Because you understand that God was speaking to Noah. We must consider the entire bible according to audience. There are divisions to be made, and way more than just OT and NT.

    Do you believe that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

    The twelve tribes is the audience of the book of James. Why take something that was meant for a certain audience and apply it doctrinally to a difference audience? That's not proper study. That's not rightly dividing the word of truth.

    Do you believe that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

    Are these the same people to whom James is writing? Those that were scattered abroad? Acts 8: 1 And Saul was consenting unto his death.
