Paul is speaking of Justification by faith and James is emphasizing that true faith will have the fruits of good works as the RESULT of saving faith as it is written, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."...

Your pastor has made a serious error and should be gently corrected; chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis, clearly only speaks of 2 people getting the boot from the garden as an act of mercy on God's part. Imagine is they had discovered that tree of life and lived forever in an earthly state of sin and...

http://www.gty.org/Resources/Questions/QA135 We believe the Old Testament regulations governing Sabbath observances are ceremonial, not moral, aspects of the law. As such, they are no longer in force, but have passed away along with the sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and all other...

Christians can't keep the 10 commandments all of the time and the commandments are summed up in Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, strength and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. It is only by God's grace that we can achieve this for any length of time. It is not the perfection of...

LOL...Amen to that!

I sent him to school and decided, why not, he is 9 years old and won't remember a word of it anyway, besides when FOX News is on and Obama lies; I just point out the lie and show the truth, then ask him what God thinks about those that lie? Great teaching moments.

Hello, I have looked into this more carefully and even if we accept your idea; which I do not reject without further study, but Jesus is actually saying that no one has ascended into heaven that has come from heaven. Is that true? Yes. That is different than Jesus just saying no one has...

So you don't have to know God and His nature to actually believe? What form of Christianity is this?

What do you mean; clarify the question. I don't know a Christian that did not have an understanding of the Gods nature being revealed in 3 persons; do you?

Do you belong to a church? Do they sing hymns? Most people that profess Christ claim to know Him; but only a few does He know. Matt. 7:13-14.

I would hope that every service that worships God has an emotional impact, which increases the love and understanding of God. :yes

When God hardens a heart; He only acts in the sense that He leaves them to themselves and since men love darkness more than light; their deeds are evil. This whole discussion is based on a paradox that the human mind cannot reconcile. Just as Jesus was fully human and fully God; we do not have...

Yes, one must believe He is a triune God. If one does not understand the trinity, then one does not understand God because one does not understand the very nature of God. The trinity is explicit in Scripture; it is not a mystery as some presume or suggest. John 1:33 - "I did not...

It is not a matter of debating the Bible; there are 3 heavens the Bible describes. The heaven used in 2Kings is the heaven directly above the earth. Further more Jesus said "NO ONE has ascended into heaven". Jesus did not use the phrase you mentioned above "only one person", but "no one"...
