Sometimes, we need patience, long suffering, endurance, and humility. These character traits are like gold. Speaking in another language will happen if God needs to use you. Don't stress if you don't, the most important thing is being close to Jesus. Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought...

Things that are practised and come to be seen as normal, comon and acceptable practices. With time they become more and more accepted as right or true.

Because it is a Tradition doesn't make it bad or evil, but we need to make sure they are not teaching or promoting things contrary to the word, scripture. Test all things. Tradition needs to be tested too.

That debate is still going today. The catholic church hide the word from people (dark ages), and it was not until people that could access it stepped out and started to protest, that the scriptures began to be studied and read more freely. But God had His people too. The waldensies and...

If the word of God is "(2Ti 3:16-17) given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." Should tradition be accepted when it contradict or...

There are 2 groups, most have their minds made up already. The catholic church openly say tradition and scripture. All the protestant reformers said the bible only. The standard of TRUTH is the bible. Gods inspired word. Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not...

Justification is imparted... You are ignoring sanctification. Jesus does all... we do not earn salvation, but we must let Jesus WORK in us. Jesus doesnt just cover us with His blood, He wants to free us from sin by creating a clean heart in us. To purify, refine, cleanse us. To impute His...

Faith and works can not be seperated. With true faith comes works. Good Works are a result of faith. We are saved by faith alone. Faith without works is dead. We don't earn salvation by works, we do works because we have faith.

You talked about many points... In regard to the one above.... Before Christ came how did people see Gods character, and righteousness? Through the principles, the witness of prophets, past events and nature etc. Now that Christ has come we no longer need sacrifices and priests, because we...

Thanks. The Provision Christ has made is pure love beyond comprehension. But can i murder and steal, can i continue in sin thinking all is finished and Jesus loves me ? Because of His grace and Justification, i choose to obey Him, not continue in sin. Not that I'm perfect and never fail. But...

Were Adam, Noah, Abraham, moses, David, and Jeremiah saved by works or by keeping the law, or were they saved by faith? Were they under grace or did they earn salvation?

What about.... Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one...

But are we Jews or are we Gentiles? If i have been adopted into the family of Christ, I've become a Jew, by adoption. Spiritual Jews, and the law is spiritual. Paul tells us we are grafted into the olive tree. Our roots are Jewsih. There is no difference between jew and gentile today we are...

The seventh day sabbath was blessed, sanctified and made holy. Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Exo 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the...

There is a lot of presumption in your thinking. Jesus kept the sabbath perfectly. The leaders were trying to find fault and according to their understanding Jesus wasn't keeping the sabbath. If Jesus wasn't keeping the sabbath, why did He call them hypocrites? Why did Jesus call Himself...

There are many sabbaths that were added because of sin in the cerimonial laws. The sabbath that was given and made holy before sin is part of the the moral law. There is a difference.

There are at least 2 laws One is called the royal law. Jam 2:8-12 One is the "law contained in ordinances". Eph 2:15 God spoke one. Deu 4:12,13 and wrote it in stone Himself. Ex 24:12, 31:18 Moses spoke the other. Lev 1:1-3, and wrote then in a book. Chro 35:12 One was kept inside the Ark...

The shadows and types talked about in Heb 8. were given to help mankind understand what is happening in heaven. The blood of animals cannot save anyone. They were added because of sin until Christ came. Gal 3:19. A better sacrifice, which is able to make us perfect was given in Christ...

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. MANY people often confuse Moses Law with God's Ten Commandment Law, but they are different. Moses'...

I agree regardless of which law, non of them can save us. The moral law points out sin in our hearts and actions. The grace of Jesus covers our sins. Thinks of the ark (Ex 25) in the most holy place. The law was inside the ark. But just above the law was the mercy set. We all deserve death...
