    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    I am making assumptions in regards to how many people in the worlds numerous denominations actually believe in loving their neighbors and their enemies. And as I stated, I am only guessing on the percentages. I, however, am not making any assumptions on who they in 1 John 4:7-16 are, and are...

    It's not that some have a deathwish, it's the devil who deceives all mankind (Revelaiton 12:9) with false illumination (2 Corinthians 11:14), in which people believe their actions to be beneficial, or at least benign. All the plagues seen in Revelation chapters 8 & 9 are attributed to the love...

    Unfortunately, what you say about most Muslims and Buddhists not knowing loving their neighbors is correct. The vast majority of Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, do not believe in loving their neighbors, and especially not their enemies. I'm just guessing, but maybe 1% or 2% may be like the...

    Mystery Babylon

    Horns in the bible are often a methaphor for the military of a nation. Currently, one then sees there being only seven militaries for the G-7, one military for each nation. This is where it gets a little complicated. In Daniel 7:7-8, we see the fourth beast who has ten horns, from whom a little...

    Must all dispensationalists believe in cessation of miracles?

    They who leave everything to follow Christ will likewise receive a hundred fold more than what they leave behind (Matthew 19:29). Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall...

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    I will come full circle and ask a basic question: Would Muslims and Buddhists who like the Samaritan in Luke 10 believed in loving their neighbors and enemies be part of the sheep in (Matthew 25:34-40), or is there some other place the Samaritan and Buddhists and Muslims like him go, other than...

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    I have tied scriptures with scriptures confirming what believing in Christ means, which is to love ones neighbor. Instead of raising an empty accusation that my perspective is circular reasoning leading to a smoking pit, maybe you could explain how so?

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    Agreed, we are not saved by our doing good works. We are saved by what we believe in; which in turn manifests itself in our works. The Samaritan believed in loving his neighbor, which manifested itself in his mercy toward his enemy.

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    I like to keep it simple and stick to God's Word. They who love their neighbors, are born of God, and God knows them. They who do not love their neighbors, are not born of God, and the Lord does not know them, no matter what they profess, or good works they may do.

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    This is what I see described in 1 John 2:22. Christ by definition means Savior. Christ saves individuals from their wrong path/way, leading them on a correct Path/Way. They who deny Christ, deny the Path/Way that Christ laid out, being to love God and your neighbor. The Samaritan and others like...

    Must all dispensationalists believe in cessation of miracles?

    I believe in Christ and am part of the body of Christ which includes many parts. I, however, do not hate my life, and I therefore recognize I cannot be a disciple of Christ. This is me acknowledging truth, and the truth shall set me free. I don't deceive myself by circling around the Word to...

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    And why do you think some of the sheep who will have thought they did not believe in Jesus, the Lord tells them that they did believe in Him? (Matthew 25:37-40) Matthew 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee...

    Must all dispensationalists believe in cessation of miracles?

    A disciple is a lot more than a learner. The cross is a metaphor for a painfull lifestyle choice as that of Christ's with many hardships. The only way one would choose this type of lifestyle, is if they hated everything about their lives, including their family life.

    The IMF and the World Bank are controlled by the G-7. They make the economic policies that reverberate throughout all the worlds nations. As to who the eiighth might be; maybe it's the rest of the EU's members as mentioned in the Wikipedia excerpt: [3] The European Union is also represented at...

    Poison

    Unless you live in the woods and drink water from a clean source of fresh water, you then in all likelihood have BPA's in your body thanks to the plastic industry. Biphenol A's are endocrine disrupters and wreak havoc with the environment. There's a lot more to it than just BPA's and plastics...

    Must all dispensationalists believe in cessation of miracles?

    For us, and to those of us who would like to be His disciples. There were disciples then and there to whom Christ told would do the miracles he did and even greater miracles, and there are future disciples who would and will likewise do the miracles and greater miracles than those of Christs...

    I am saying that if a Muslim, Buddhist, or even a self professed atheist, believes in loving their neighbor; these individuals then believe in love who is God, and are born of God according to 1 John 4:7. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that...

    Angels in the Bible

    I believe the Lord speaks to all of us, including ubelievers daily. We just don't recognize it. What we believe to be our own ID is in fact either the Lord providing us illumination, or it is the devil deceiving us. When Sarah laughed at the Lord's statement that she would conceie, it was the...

    OK. Just need to be aware that there will be they like the Samaritan who will have believed they did not know Christ, to whom Christ being love, will acknowledge; and there will be they who will have believed they knew Christ, to whom Christ being love, will declare He never knew them (Matthew...
