    Saved by Grace not of works !

    The Bible speaks of different works. I think the two main ones being confused are man's attempt at works for salvation, and works done by the believer in the service of God. Neither are accounted for salvation.

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    Here's a link to the thread where I repeated a theological explanation regarding Paul's justification by faith remarks and James' justification by works remarks. Please look for it. http://www.christianforums.net/f17/salvation-faith-alone-only-38070/

    Freemasonry- Can a Christian be a mason?

    Normally, I would, and would be glad to do so. However, what I've found is many people here would rather dispute anything posted rather than use it for increasing knowledge and understanding. So I've decided to post enough information of my own experience or opinion, and let others who truly...

    Salvation by faith alone/only?

    The "great" theologian / professor R. C. Sproul discusses this apparent confusion (from my notes of his lecture) It would be nice to be able to say that they used two different Greek words, but no, they both used the same one. How it would be nice to say that Paul wrote after James to clarify...

    [__ Prayer __] My Sense of Smell

    While I think it's important to have any such change checked out by an MD... the use of the herb ashwagandha has a tendency to aid the sense of smell. (It's a natural "cortisone" from God :) )

    Freemasonry- Can a Christian be a mason?

    I have personal experience with freemasonry, and freemasons, as well as the Eastern Star. I would stay far, far away, as a true, born-again believer wishing to serve ONLY Christ.

    Bible Advice

    Hi there! Try using the NASB (New American Standard Bible). While in some respects it is a more collegiate level of words, it's phrasing is really easy to read. For example: Deuteronmony 5:1-5 On the idea of reading the Bible alot... I'm for that! I find that reading it once a quarter...

    [_ Old Earth _] Were Dinosaurs a deception from Satan to make the world look older ?

    I believe God created the dinosaurs along with all the other wonderful creatures. I also believe they were on the ark. I think that the change in climate... i.e. after the flood there was no more protective water/vapor barrier that may have contributed to their dying off... and perhaps in...

    Those who don't believe in free-will, why do so many verse's claim it??

    I do believe there are those who cannot understand the full concepts of the TULIP outline, yes. (There are countless discussions here to prove that.) That however does not mean it is unbiblical. What is being missed here in this thread, imo, is that there is a difference between the mind and...
