    Biblical Mary!

    I think your understanding of The immaculate conception of Mary may differ from the Catholic belief. I think you need to find out what their true teaching on the subject is and not just posting what you have assumed they believe. I think they have their official way of communicating and...

    How can we uphold the law through faith? Romans 3:31

    I think we can look at it this way: The faith that is required of us is faith that works by love. Galatia 5:6. Faith and love are intrinsically connected in that Faith without love is nothing. 1Corinthians 13:2. Therefore, through faith that works by love, we establish the law because...

    Yes, we find our wholeness in God. We are complete in him ---- only if we are walking in the light, in the Spirit. If one says he is a child of God or born again, and he is walking in darkness or sin, how can he be complete in him? Light and darkness do not co -exist. They are parallel. We...

    First, I would not like to use the word Sinless perfection because there is no sin in God's perfection. I would rather use holiness or perfection or even sinless. If Perfection is not possible here on earth, why should we be told by Christ Jesus to be holy and perfect as our Father which is...

    I can see you are stating the popular opinion here with regards to man and sin. But is this what scripture is telling us? I doubt. Just for instance Scripture tells us ---- to be holy and perfect as our Father which is in heaven ( is there sin in holiness or perfection, is there...

    I know and understand who man is as God''s image and likeness. By your statement, I wonder if you are not making void the sacrifice Christ Jesus did for that sinful man you know.

    I doubt if you considered the context in which the statement was made before putting forward your opinion. That statement was made within a specific context. But, of course I believe that, we can reach a stage in our Christian life here on earth where we can be sinless if we imbibe and...

    . Yes, the Spirit can resolve all matters -- if there are matters to resolve. ( and will resolve them if it is the will of God to do so). However, where the Spirit sees nothing to resolve, there will be nothing to resolve.

    What I meant was that when it comes to the issue of Faith and Good works in relation to Salvation, Paul's work as seen in his letters to the believers and the Acts of the Apostles and what James wrote on the same are not different. My mind was not on Romans alone for one has to consider the...

    There is really nothing to resolve because the two are saying the same things. There are no contradictions. The problem arises when we believe that Salvation stops with justification ( i.e. justification either as an event or what others call initial justification)

    Please ignore my question in my previous quote unless what I think you meant is not what you meant. For, I think you meant to say that Salvation is a result of a genuine faith. If this is so, you are equally saying that good works is necessary for Salvation. In your own words, you said faith...

    GOD is hiding information from his only Son.

    I do not really know who thought you or is teaching you this. If God could allow his only Son to die for our sake so that we can live, how could he create you for doom. I see someone loosing hope and faith in God. Just open your heart unto him in sincerity no matter what you are going through...

    GOD is hiding information from his only Son.

    I think lying is unrighteous and sinful. But, there are sins not unto death. St John said in 1 John 5:16 - 17, all unrighteousness is sin and there is a sin not unto death. If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them...
