no one who truly loves their husband never does a single act of kindness towards Him.
with many humans, one has to look beyond the surface to see their love - and with many also, the surface appears loving but underneath it is spiteful.
man looks at the outside of the cup; God looks within...
yet just as Christ spoke in John 5, these are dead by the way man speaks, but alive by the way God speaks:
Revelation 6:9-11
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with...
every knee will bow, and every tongue confess :)
John 5:25-29
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in...
@Beckworth hoping you are still saved today!
apparently you can become damned at any moment, since it depends not on the work of God but on human will and exertion according to your gospel,
and this being the case, in your worldview, given the nature of humankind, it's rather an inevitability...
if they do not grow, it may be the soil, it may be the lack of water, it may be the birds that eat it - it's not necessarily that the seed was not good
Abraham was justified before God by his faith, and before men by his actions.
James is talking about being justified before men. all his examples are about their witness in front of others: feeding the poor, clothing the naked, receiving the messengers - and the sin he accuses of them of...

always believing,
always hoping,
always enduring,
this never fails.

up for lunch consideration are yeast, mushrooms, algae..
vegetarianism is completely respectable and even laudable IMO.
just not commanded/required of us.
so - - nothing to judge anyone over, one way or the other, in my view...
for wool, i would think, and for a yearly memorial sacrifice commemorating the blood shed to pardon Adam and his wife, when God made them garments.
Adam was given every green thing: it's not until Noah God tells us meat is okay to eat. proto-Pesach, if you will ;)
probably becomes a sticking...
no.
Adam was given only plants.
Noah was given everything.
Moses was given a division between clean and unclean meat.
Christ declared all food clean according to the faith and resultant conscience of the eater.
we are back to the state of the diet of Noah, but in the resurrection there will be...
Does God typically use lies and deceit and false doctrine in a parable? does He violate His own holy nature and command us to sin in visions?
the same topic comes up in the beggar Lazarus - whether it is a parable or not - because Christ talks about the dead being able to speak and sense and...
that conclusion comes from finding evidence of cities later than finding evidence of people. so the logic goes that you can't build cities if you live by chasing prey around the countryside, and of course you're going to form a commercial economy and cities as soon as you can, that is, as soon...
