Thank you for your reference, it was interesting. "rightly dividing" the word, for some, has come to another level. That level is dividing the word into those NT words that belong to the "law of Moses" (and can be ignored in regards to our salvation because they have been superceeded by the...

You are aware that the one bible is nothing but a collection of 28 separate letters written to the saints by the apostles and others? The bible is also divided into the OT and the NT. 2 completely different collection of letters. So for me to say that the word of God can be divided into 2...

OK, I am going to give you 2 scriptures, let me know if they are both right, according to the gospel of Christ. John 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life...

The word "believe" has a much deeper meaning than most people give it credit for. IOW, I believe that when Jesus used the word "believe", he did not use it frivolously. If he is giving a person Eternal Life if they "believe", he means it. I don't think he means, oh good, you believe in me...

Your reply to what is the concept of "rightly dividing" the word of God. "2nd Timothy 2:15 and saying that faith plus works to gain, maintain, top off, finish or keep salvation is NOT cutting straight the word of GOD......." 2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 Study to shew thyself...

As I remember, you are all for what Christ did for you, but you rightly divide his words right out of your bible, and replace them with the words of Paul. Doesn't seem right.

So do you find yourself shying away from good works so you do not find yourself full of pride?

Thank you for using the concept in a sentence, but what does "rightly divided" mean to you?

Who is going to rely on their works vs rely on Jesus. Nobody. A person does good works because of his faith in Jesus. So the test is real. If you are doing good works, you can pretty much assure yourself that there is a true faith in Christ. If you are not doing good works, you can...

So were any on the left part of the OSAS Christians?

If true faith is always accompanied by works, then we have a simple test to know if someone truly believes and someone who is faking it?

Then you are saying that OSAS is not a true doctrine, but those saved will be the ones that take care of Jesus's physical brethren? Am I right?

So why is it that you continue to do good works?

I thought this was an intersting comment, and so I responded, but have not heard back. Will you please respond to my response to you. Thank you .

Tell me what you know of the concept of "rightly divided"?

The YOU = whoever Jesus was talking to. The "brothers of mine" = the poor and the needy. You can overanalyze a scripture until you have negated the reason it was given. We do this to help us move the scripture closer to the way we believe, even though the scritpure is telling us something we...

I understand fully what you mean and I believe the same as you. Thank you for your words.

We are not under the law of Moses, but are we not under the law of Christ? Do we need to be concerned with this law of Christ?

Would you agree that those that are saved are doing the will of Jesus and following him in his footsteps, because the Holy Spirit has created a new person in them that causes them to be doing what the master wants us to do?

What a belief. You can't be good enough to deserve salvation, so that helps you decide that you don't have to be good. And then you can't be bad enough that you can't be saved, so that helps you to be as bad as you want because your saved anyway. Is this how the gospel of Jesus Christ works...
