I believe our works is the expression of our faith and I believe that is what James talks about. Jesus spoke about false faith... "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from...

Not necessarily for God knows what is in our hearts. We may make mistakes but God knows where our heart is and He knows that we are prone to do so. The Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man...

You don't say how old you are but I assume you are still a minor. For this reason, I would say that your concerns come from your lack of honoring your parents. They have your best intentions in mind for you. You may not agree with them at this time and assuming you know how to use the Airpods...

Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints, for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them. But I am sending the brothers so that...

I agree with most of what you say. How others feel or judge me has nothing to do with my beliefs. It is what God says that matters. Jesus says plenty about LGBTQ+ lifestyles. First, one must understand who Jesus is. Jesus was God in human form. “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and...

orthodoxcrusader1996 in other words, this argument would take away the free will and make us all moist robots rather than individuals that could love God. Arguments like this also are just another attempt to be our own god. It goes back to the question presented to Eve, "Did God really...

Still available here in our small town.

I want to remind everyone that in this Q&A forum the rules require that we address the OP's questions.

The glory you speak of may not have been for God's benefit but rather for the people around to understand. In other words they can experience, see, and know His glory. It doesn't necessarily mean that the man was born blind just so God could heal him. Perhaps God just took advantage of a...

The thing that people forget is that the two major parties remain major because we the people keep them that way. Too many of us vote by party rather than learning what the candidates' positions are and choosing the one that best fits our needs or desires. We're too lazy to do the research. We...

That's why candidates try so hard to win the support of one of the two parties.

Okay. How does that answer my question? I see this all the time in Christian discussions. Someone asks a question and those who respond get defensive and evasive right away rather than simply answering the question. It's too bad.

What does this have to do with the topic at hand? I asked some questions but have not received any answers.

What does this have to do with answering the questions I have asked? You have not answered any of my questions.
