The way we receive faith is by hearing God speak to us. Repent means to turn to God. JPT

Please show me the scripture and the context you are referring to. I agree, Abraham was justified apaert from the deeds or works of the law. I never said otherwise. The work that justifies is obedience to what we hear. That's why it's called the obedience of faith. But now is made...

Believing is what we do. Believe is a verb: a word of action Faith is a noun: it is what we receive from God when He speaks to us. Grace is the power of God that enables us to do what we can not without it: Grace is the Holy Spirit: The Spirit of grace. Since you have purified your...

The "work" by which Abraham was justified is the "work" of obedience, not the "works" of the law, or the "work" that earns a wage. James is showing us the principle of how faith operates or functions to produce a divine result, otherwise faith is dead, or "dormant" like a body without a spirit...

Why not just answer the man's question honestly? Why do you insult and accuse? How can a lost person be reconciled to God, if he doesn't repent and return to God? JPT

The Sabbath was instituted long before there was any such notion of a Jew. My bible says that the Sabbath was made for "man", not Jew. The Sabbath was given for us to rest, not for man to be burdened with a lot of regulations to keep. Please quote a scripture from Jesus or the Apostles...

My point that I made from the scriptures is a sheep can wander away and become lost. 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays...

Yes. If keeping the Sabbath means going to a Synagogue where people who reject Jesus as Messiah gather on Saturday to convince each other that the “messiah” is coming soon, then yes I’m missing the Sabbath on purpose. JPT

They believed. Jesus said the condition for being saved is to believe. These in this group did in fact believe. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Luke 8:12...

How is asking what the condition to being saved, a cheap set up? The condition for being saved is to believe. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luke 8:12 lest they should...
