Vetran; you are pulling verses from context that have nothing to do with Dan. 9:27, (ie) 11:21-24; 11:31-37. As long as you go along with popular doctrinal opinion (C. I. Scofield and friends), you won't see it any other way.
These verses in Daniel have been fulfilled. :)
I also agree the "HE" in Dan. 9:27, is Jesus. No explanations given or needeed, except good Bible exposition does not call for changing horses, in midstream. :)
James is not talking about doing works to prove faith, but that the proof of good works accompany true faith.
His statement is more in a form of a question, than an answer. He is addressing those who say they have faith, but produce no evidence of faith (good works/fruits of the spirit). Just...
Granted there are works of "faith to obedience", and there are "works for the sake of works". Some have a hard time separating the two, and have a fear of anything that states the word works in the context. James was not however speaking of works for works sake, but works from obedience through...
James has been called a book of straw, and hay (works) by some for years. But if you use some understanding instead of criticism you will find James, and Paul on the same page; just writing to a different audience.
As the KJV says God tempted Abraham. Now the word tempted in 1611, was...
To keep it short, "Christianity" in its true form is still Christ Like. But "Religion" is a slap in the face of Christianity, just as "Pharisaic Judaism" was a slap in the face of the Law. As the old saying goes, "what go around - comes around". The apostate Gentile Church, will end just as...
It simply means those who do not place their faith, and trust in Jesus Christ alone. And do not his commandments, will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
But what are his commandments. ??? :)
If you want to get down to the basics of what that particular passage teaches; it is this. That we are supposed to be a separated people, that things or people related to this world are to be secondary to us. That our following, and devotion to Christ must come first, or else we have our...
This is probably a waste of time, and words. But that verse is not open for interpretation, because it needs none, it interprets its self. Only the blind stagger along roads, and fall into ditches. :)
If the Rich Ruler had agreed to go, and sell all that he had. Jesus would not have required him to do so, and just bid him to follow him immediately. As he did the young man that wanted to bury his father first. When he told him to leave the dead to bury the dead, and follow him. That young man...
As you often find with the Gospels, some of the writers are quite good with details, others will summarize. This often appears as a contradiction until we examine the evidence closely, and don't jump to conclusions.
You will find in Matthew 27:3-10 an explanation of how the Priests took the...
