So you are saying James is teaching some are not saved by faith alone? But I thought it was by faith alone. James never denies he has faith does he? He just says his faith is worthless incomplete un-perfected. Because it was not united with the works of faith, the obedience of faith so it was...

The false the abuse and misuse of the Gifts is not something we should allow to deter us from seeking them from God for ourselves. That would just make the enemy happy. I think God would have us peruse and have and walk in the good Gifts of God as a judgement against the false making clear which...

Seriously you reject those scriptures as authoritative because Jesus spoke them before He ascended? Or to you reject them because they speak of the works of faith directly as a function of obedience out of love resulting in salvation which is fellowship with God through the receiving of Holy...

The bible is biblical, to suggest it is insufficient or in need of additional man made doctrines to explain it is error. When you switch to something else explaining the bible that you must believe in, that something else becomes the authority. Now if Trinity was like Christophany it would just...

No he was... but he had a happiness about him that disarmed people too.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever - John 14:15 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with...

I am partly joking, but then again no. You do know what Sola Scriptura means right? scripture alone. Creeds are not scripture. For example in scripture jesus says "The father is greater then I" Jesus directly refutes equality, yet because of the confusion of the trinity many people say they...

1 John 4:7-8

Should do name tags with emoji faces and let people pick one to match the heart. Or just become friends and share. One thing I liked about the Quakers was their use of the term friends in regards to a church fellowship Quakers, also called Friends, belong to a historically Christian...

I knew a guy once who would always answer that with "Why better then I deserve, Because I deserve death" And then share the gospel with someone at this point perhaps both a bit scared and a little curious. Me I am loved and I am certain that love is better then anyone deserves.

How does it go? Teacher do you not teach thyself? Why a trap, why a stumbling stone and a rock of offense? Why is it that Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that his rider falls backward” Because the way is wide that leads to destruction and...

I could add this. If you think its God calling you to do something, then you know what is right to do and you are required to keep your conscience. If you are unsure go in prayer But if you where right then you knew what is right to do and do not do it is sin for you. He directs our steps but...

I would say that creeds like the Trinity are in denial of Sola Scriptura. Strangely enough Sola Scriptura is in denial of Sola Scriptura itself being an extra biblical creed held to rather then the written word of God. The debate during the creation of the trinity was that is was not the word...

There are the works of the law and their are the works of faith. If you look at the context Paul is is always referring to the works of law. That is in not way rejecting the works of faith by which you are saved and become children of Abraham who was saved by works. not the works of the law but...

Gods will is easy just ask for what he says you should be. Be holy Be Perfect Be filled up to the fullness of the stature of Christ Jesus Be filled up to all the fullness of God. Be kind one to another, tenderhearted. Be angry without sinful motives. My favorite cease from sin and begin to live...

The law is perfect. But perfect for what? It made nothing perfect. It made sin worse, more sinful exposing it. Condemning everyone who sins or ever sinned. It is against you and it comes with a curse. It only has power over the living. It is unlawful to apply it to those who have died in Christ...

Yeah, don't neglect the weightier things that being love.

Good words. Thanks. I would add Everyone who has This hope in them purifies himself just as he is pure. That we have been given all things pertaining to life and Godliness. That ceasing from sin is the very purpose of the Gospel according to Peter. That our part looks like this. Search me and...

Another way to put it is how like Jesus are you? How like the apostles are you? They responded to His presence.

Correction: Godly Anger is totally about payback and vengeance. The cloak of vengeance is part of Gods armor. But it is Gods and Christs alone. When evil comes we fight against it and we don't relent until the day is done. But while Gods mercies are new every morning our should be also given...
