    Bible Study Harmonizing James and Paul

    As I see this "works" is a reference to "I CAN DO IT MYSELF, I can come to salvation by MY good works." It i snot I think talking about actually "WORKING" as we think making a living, or doing a work project. Salvation IS A GIFT. The idea “saved By Grace through faith” is one of the most...

    Bible Study WELCOME TO AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF MATTHEW'S GOSPEL.

    I do not know about the theology BUT, My 10 year old said, "Jesus had taken ALL THE SIN OF THE WORLD ON HIS SHOULDERS, He had to go the where the sin belonged and bury it there before He could enter the presence of a Holy GOD. I think He did fairly good.

    Bible Study The authority of the law: Romans 7

    I do wonder though, which church says we no longer have to keep the law. I don't think any does. Not even the grace movement churches. What they're saying is the above - trouble is that many want to understand it their own way so they could do what they want to. This is not what is meant by "the...

    The last paart of that verse in not in the best manuscripts and is likely added by a scribe form the later verses. I left it off because it is not there.

    Bible Study The authority of the law: Romans 7

    Yes! Satan can never be "IN US". He goes about to deceive and accuse. In us would be demon possession, another subject all together. The important point is that in Christ we can over come chose not to sin. I did not say sinless More like justified innocent IN CHRIST.

    Bible Study The authority of the law: Romans 7

    It is a riddle and a hard one to learn to understand. This subject has many sides and if you do not try to look at all the truth it can ger very confusing. I do not claim to know all that is here but I have studies this a long time. I wrote an article "Two Roads out of Time and into Eternity"...

    Bible Study The authority of the law: Romans 7

    Great discussion.. I agree with your points (including many will disagree) In the last post you skipped the verse where Paul said specifically what you are saying. ROMANS 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

    Bible Study WELCOME TO AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF MATTHEW'S GOSPEL.

    We have no means of knowing where the writer obtained the data for this genealogy. It differs radically from that in Luke 3:23-38. One can only give his own theory of the difference. Apparently in Matthew we have the actual genealogy of Joseph which would be the legal pedigree of Jesus according...

    I have 6 Greek NT 3 have it 3 do not. Nestle-Aland, Westcott-Hort, Sinaticus DONOT have it in the text. Receptus, BEZA Greek NT, Apostic bible DO have it. I expect this is just a manuescript difference and we will never know. BUT I like it in there.

    Bible Study Harmonizing James and Paul

    This is a fascinating thread. AND I agree with the general Idea. BUT, you are discussing TWO subjects. PAUL was teaching HOW we are saved not by any thing we can do even the Law. We are saved by Grace by Faith. JAMES is teaching that SAVED we must LIVE IT and show our works and obedience. Paul...

    Luk 12:48 But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. We so often teach the illustration we miss the point! The...

    Bible Study “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded;

    This is a study that left me in tears. I will offer it to you for consideration. Luke 12:48 Peter asked him, Lord, are you addressing this parable to us or to all alike? The Lord answered, Who then is the faithful and sensible manager, whom the master will put in charge of his servants, to...

    Total Depravity

    Please see this wonderful TRUTH! GOD gave Adam the answers, the blood sacrifice for atonement, Keep MY commandments, Adam left the Garden under the Blood, KNOWING what was required to serve God, Looking forward to Christ. Total Depravity and TULIP say we are to sinful to come to God. That...

    Total Depravity

    It is a simple answer, He did not want sacrifices; God wanted Fellowship, freely offered by a choice to know Him. God said "Disobey Me and DIE" the debt had to be paid. God in mercy made a plan to pay that debt. Sacrifices looking forward to Christ, Grace looking back to the cross But God paid...

    Total Depravity

    At some point here we come to the “Image of God in man”. There are almost as many opinions to the meaning of this as there are people. Still, I will venture to offer one more. Given: God made man for fellowship. Given: God and man are Persons. Given: God and man have reason (knowledge)...

    Total Depravity

    IMO there is no such thing as total depravity, God gave man a choice and he made the wrong one. God in His own time decided to make man for fellowship, a creature able and willing to by choice come to Fellowship with GOD. In the beginning God created the heaven and earth and it was good...
