The main point of my post was to show how important it is to believe what God says and to encourage everyone to accept His words. How can that be wrong? I’m surprised that anyone who calls themselves a believer in God woujd find fault with that. John 12:48 proves that God thinks this is a...

My purpose is not to define atheism but to show how people ( whatever you call them) do not believe What God has said. There is abundant proof that Atheist don’t believe in the God of the Bible, nor anything He might have said. Do you want to argue about that?

How so? All I did was repeat a story that the Holy Spirit told in the Old Testanent. Did I tell it wrong? If my post is wrong—please tell me what is wrong about it? Did I not tell the story accurately?

Yes. The reason we have so much division in Christianity is because men either refuse to believe what is written in the Bible or they don’t like certain passages or it doesn’t fit their preferred doctrine. We could all be United if we would just accept what God has said In His word...

Paul says the things that were written in the Old Testament are “our examples” verse 6, so that we should not sin as they did, and “they were written for our admonition. One version says for our learning. Many of the stories in the Old Testament have wonderful spiritual lessons for us today in...

I apologize for the mix-up. At the end of my post I added an explanation that I was replying to a post by John 146. I inadvertently posted under your post, not his. I am sorry.

Sorry, this post was a reply to John 146.

Paul never says or said that faith ALONE saves. He may have said “faith saves” but he never says faith ALONE SAVES. If he did then we have a contradiction in the Bible because James 2:24 says faith alone does NOT save. If the Bible contradicts itself how can we believe anything it says...

When Jesus was on earth, He could save people any way, anytime, He chose. He not only saved the thief on the cross, He also saved the man let down through a hole in the roof. That does not mean that people today can be saved that way. You do not understand the difference between the old...

According to man? Or according to the Bible?Man teaches many different doctrines about this. The Bible teaches one way that is the same for everyone. Man teaches “salvation by faith ONLY!” The Bible teaches salvation by faith but NOT by faith only. James 2:24 Man teaches baptism does NOT...

And is the work of believing (faith) a BOASTFUL work? The Holy Spirit calls it a work. What do you call it?

Have you read James 2:14-26? That whole passage contradicts what you just said. Faith and works go together verse 22. Abraham was saved by works when he offered Isaac. Rahab was saved by works when she hid the spies. They had faith, yes, but their faith without works is dead! Verses 17 and...

The baptism in Acts 2:38 commanded by Peter was water baptism; I know this because the Holy Spirit was promised as a “gift” AFTER they were baptised; so it could NOT have been Holy Spirit baptism. The baptism of the Samaritans in Acts 8 was water baptism; I know this because AFTER they were...

Are you talking about Eph. 2? When you say that Paul says it’s faith and not works that saves us? If so, then two things you should consider: 1) Paul does not say “faith alone”.saves. Just as James does not say “works” alone saves us in James 2 when he says we are justified (saved) by works...

Luke 17:10 says that when we have done all those things that God has commanded, we have only done what was our DUTY to do. He says we are still unprofitable servants. We cannot boast about doing any “work of God (John 6:28-29) that He has commanded. Let’s see, He has commanded the work...

Well, since there are obviously different kinds of works —some good and some bad— what kind of works do you think he is talking about in Ephesians 2? He has already said they were not the kind of works that anyone could “BOAST ABOUT” in verse 9. What woujd YOU call those kinds of works? He’s...

Thank you so much for your kindness to me. But please believe what Jesus said in Mark 16:16-“ He that believes AND is baptized shall be saved.” It must be in that order, because putting baptism AFTER SALVATION changes what Jesus said. Also, the Holy Spirit guided Peter to write, “ …baptism...

And, yet, James 2 is all about how faith without works is dead. And Abraham was “justified” only when his faith caused Him to obey the command to (work) offer Issac as a sacrifice. It took BOTH faith and works verse 22.
