Yes, faith must be present in order for us to “act”, but that is not the point James is emphasizing. It’s evident that James is emphasizing works as opposed to faith alone. And yes, we SHOW faith by our works, but the scriptures specifically say THREE TIMES, MAN is JUSTIFIED BY WORKS. That is...

I already showed you scripture where if you claim to be justified by works, you have something to boast about. That would include any work. Water Baptism,. Getting circumcised, Giving to the poor. Praying without ceasing, etc etc. If you are doing any work of righteousness as a means of saving...

I agree with some of what you say. However, 1) it takes BOTH faith and works to save us which seems to be the reason James uses so many examples of “works.” He used The demons as a negative example—having faith but NO works; he used Abraham and Rahab, as positive examples of how faith and...

Hey, you want to boast of being baptized. feel free. Count me out, I will boast in christ. who baptized me himself into Christ,. His death, and his body (rom 6, 1 cor 12 and gal 5) Did I miss the scripture that shows “being baptized is Boasting”? Either for it or against it? Because i...

I understand how strange this must sound if you have never studied it before. I wiil just state up front what I believe the Bible teaches and I will give you scripture for EVERYTHING to show WHY I believe that there was an Old law for the Jews in the Old Testament and it lasted until Jesus...

Your job is to PROVE that there are 2 kinds of baptism: 1) that if you are baptized to receive something that is “boastful” baptism and 2) that you are baptized because your are already saved. I can find scriptures that show we are baptized to receive something. That’s easy. Acts 2;38, we...

Says WHO? You? Where’s the scripture?

Where does the Bible say that?? You are making a “made up” distinction where God has not made one.

May be? We can believe “may be. Where is the scripture that says what you are saying? You either are “building on “rock” or “sand”. Matthew 7.

Have you read ALL of Galatians? Have you read ALL of the book of Galatians? For example 2:16, “ Knowing that a man is NOT justified by the works of the law, ( Old Testament) but by faith in Jesus Christ.Even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ. and...

Where is your scripture that teaches this?

I’ll let the Holy Spirit do the talking for me. HEBREWS 7:12 “For the priesthood being changed, of necessity, THERE IS ALSO A CHANGE OF THE LAW.” This is the argument the Spirit is making: Under the OLD LAW of Israel, a man could NOT be a priest unless he was from the tribe of Levi. But...

On the subject of “boastful” works, Jesus told this story in Luke 17: a SERVANT had worked hard all day plowing or tending sheep. When he comes in from the field does his master say, “ Come here, sit down and eat.”? No, instead the master would say, “you prepare MY supper, and gird yourself...

Not sure if your post is “agreeing” with me or DIS—agreeing with me. But I certainly do agree that the act of repenting is from God. It originated with God and it is COMMANDED by God; it is one of “His” works. But it is also something that man MUST DO. The Jews asked Peter (Acts 2:37). What...

Our present United States of America has been under 3 different Laws in under 230 years. 1) the first “law” was the law of England. 2) then, after we won our freedom, we were under The Laws of Confederation, 3) Now, we are ruled by The Constitution of the United States of America—in under 230...

Here is a story: A man goes to the DOCTOR. He is not having any health problems. He’s just going for his yearly wellness check. The doctor discovers that he has a small, malignant brain tumor. Surgery is necessary. The man goes to see a SURGEON. The surgeon removes most of the...

In response to Post #106, Part 2. Here is scripture # 7 That “proves (?)” that Faith has nothing to do with salvation because it is not mentioned in this (and all of the other) verses. According to Mailman.) 1 Peter 3:21. Here the apostle Peter says, guided by the Holy Spirit, that baptism...

Mailman, Your answer to Mark 16:16 is wrong since baptism is only for BELIEVERS” Acts 8:37. You know it was UN-necessary for Jesus to say “He who does not believe and is not baptized.” If you dont believe, baptism is out of the question. The bottom line is, if you want to know how to be...

Y You are saying that we do nothing when it comes to faith, which is ridiculous. That is not what Jesus says. And you mis -quoted Romans 10:17. Faith comes from HEARING the word of God, not from the word as if it is some supernatural thing that Only God. does and we have no part in. Our...

In John 6;28 the people asked what THEY COULD DO. They are not asking about what God does or has done. And Jesus is telling them what THEY-the people need TO DO.
