In most cases NO. "Doctrines" are man's attempts to reduce Scripture to "Practice". Christianity isn't essentially "Doctrinal" in the absolute. FAITH (Rom 10:17) is the basis, and Denominational paradigms may or may not have any truth connected to them. Heb 11:1 gives two aspects that...

IF you are a Born again Christian, then you can ask for WISDOM, and if you do so Single-mindedly, then you will recieve it Freely from the Holy Spirit ( James 1:5-8). Personally, I function as a "Teacher" primarily, and "being of service" to others is a parallel calling.

Big "IF". What makes the difference is FAITH (Heb 11:1 - Rom 10:17 - Eph 2:8) not "Belief" (mental assent). The "VISIBLE CHURCH" is inevitably populated by "WHEAT" (Actual born again believers), and "TARES" (religious adherents with no actual FAITH) in varying levels of concentration (Mat...

Simple: The LAW is God's will and it is eternal. Fortunately, we have a SAVIOR who Died to deliver us from the LAW by becoming the perfect SIN OFFERING for us (Isa 53:10). It's called "The Gospel".

Correfction: man's "theology" / "interpretation" tells us many things. Some things are true, and some things are horse manure. if I hear a trumpet, I'm outta here.

The Crucifixion as defined by Isaiah was a "SIN OFFERING" for the complete cleansing of those who had FAITH (not "Belief" - mental assent) in its efficacy. In the OLD Testament it was a look forward to what WOULD happen, and now it''s a look back on what DID happen. OUR SIN was nailed to the...

However, since a human CAN NOT Self-generate Biblical FAITH (Rom 10:17, Heb 11:1), there's obviously more to it than "Mental assent" - Intellectual belief. Intellectual belief IS NOT "Substantive", and is only "Evidence" of personal pre-conditioning / experience. Biblical FAITH is entirely...

It's called "Denominational theology".

No times. "Dead Faith" isn't FAITH at all. In salvation, GOD MOVES FIRST - giving CONVICTION OF SIN to the person, who them by their own FREE WILL either decides to surrender, repent and cry out in REAL FAITH for salvation. Rom 10:17 reveals the SOURCE of FAITH, and Heb 11:1 reveals it's...

A Pizza Without ANCHOVIES is like a day without sunlight!!!! Paranthetic: back in the late '40s and early '50s, Pizza in the Boston area was known as "Italian cheese pie"

I had it in San Paulo years back. I was delicious!!!!

Obviously Jesus and Paul preached the SAME MESSAGE. the Practical difference is that BEFORE CALVARY, NOBODY could be "Born again of the Holy Spirit", since the ultimate SIN OFFERING (Isa 53:10) hadn't been made - yet.

To the Jewish people. Jhn 11:25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Jhn 11:26: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? The Jewish people, AND the "Nations" Rom...

I Agree, and I did. It changed NOTHING, but it did feel like "obedience".

Unknown. Gen 6:3 indicates limits. Salvation WITHOUT "conviction of SIN" appears to be impossible, and Rom 10:17 indicates the source of that conviction. Paranthetic: "Dead Faith" isn't "FAITH" at all - just "Religion / Theology"

True statement. And the answer is Rom 10:17 - "Faith" (biblical faith) comes by HEARING, and HEARING by GOD'S WORD. that's to say that Biblical FAITH occurs AS THE RESULT of the HOLY SPIRIT coming to the individual whit CONVICTION OF SIN, without which tere won't be any REAL repentance, or...

Don't confuse "CAUSE" with "Effect".

Pay attention to Biblical context, not denominational "Theology".

I don't havy problem with what GOD SAYS!! My problem is with what YOU SAY GOD SAYS. Simple as that.

Chuckle!!!
