Yup - that covers it nicely. Luke 16:22-26

And most of what is "Called Faith" is "blind faith" - I.E. not "FAITH" at all. Biblical FAITH isn't BLIND because it's based on God's WORD to us. Eph 2: 8,9. Faith is always revelatory. The best we can do is nothing more that "Intellectual assent", which has no "Substance", and is "Evidence"...

You can do what you please. But Biblical FAITH (that has "Substance", and is an "Evidence" of what you don't see) will never come through "Reasoning".

Romans 10:17 details where FAITH actually comes from. Supposed dates of gospel authorship has nothing to do with that, since it's only "Intellectual Knowledge".

Of course!! Salvation (Becoming Born again of the Holy Spirit) is a PERSONAL TRANSACTION between a person and God, who drew them to Christ, Convicts them of SIN, and Gifts them with the FAITH to Call on God to apply the SIN OFFERING of Jesus to their lives, cleansing them from SIN. The...

Handle 1 Cor 7:27,28

BINGO!!!! Theologians, in all their supposed "wisdom", won't figure it out until it's obvious to everybody.

SO why do you STILL fall into sin?

I have a HUMAN Nature, just like you, and everybody else including Adam (before and after the fall), and Jesus (since HE was tempted in every respect AS WE ARE. The Mechanism of Temptation is given in James 1. It STARTS with OUR LUST, and satan's folks apply the "enticement". Jesus, simply...

Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Jas 1:7 For let not that man...

Only if you read it INTO the Bible.

I prefer mine a bit older -

The book of James (chapter 2) is a litmus test for one to determine whather what they call "FAITH" is really nothing but "Religion" - which SAVES nobody.

Christians (like everybody) else have a HUMAN NATURE. Christians, however, are also infilled with The Holy Spirit, and their "Old Man" human nature has been Crucified with Christ on the cross. However it's up to the CHristian to "mortify the deeds of the flesh, and render the OLD NATURE...

Science Fiction, lost a lot of it's appeal to me after reading the 1956 Hugo winner (the STAR - Arthur C. Clark) where a burnt out planet is visited, and after some exploration, there develops a awareness of how Vibrant, and advanced the civilizations, and Societies on the now dead world had...

Same place as the Apostolic Dedication to take the WORD into the world. The early disciples weren't "get together for an hour once a week" types. Miracles carry a RESPONSIBILITY to disseminate the story, and reach folks for the Lord. The casual church of 2021 won't SEE many miracles until...

SO, essentially you teach SALVATION BY WORKS, and feel that Eph 2:8,9 is a lie.

It's a statement of LIMITATION.

Here in Texas, OUTSIDE of Dallas county, other than folks running around in masks, things are pretty normal. THe restaurants are open, and Traffic on the roads is (if anything) greater than normal. ANd I've never stopped working full time.

OF course. My Grandmother (on dad's side) prepared it (and Lisagna, and Ravioli, and Gnocci, and Brasciole) and She was a contract bride from Milan for my Grandfather (A second generation Italian American His father was the immigrant). She thought he was pretty ugly when she first saw him...
