quote-Another fraud is Jesus preached and healed for 3 years. It was actually one year.
Actually, with study of the scriptures and the Father’s calendar, His ministry lasted 3 1/2 years. or 1,260 days, or 42 months.
His minisitry began on the Day of Atonement, 10th Day of the 7th month, in year ‘1’.
and ended on The Feast of Passover, the 14th Day of the 1st month, in year ‘4’.
quite awesome to see the math unfold like it did!
Swine is easy? I’m guessing it is greedy, lustful, lazy.. basically evil people.
But wouldn’t we want to help the worst of society?
Sounds like a great church!
One where Satan reigns and all sorts of idolatry is rampant.
No he isn't.
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
I like the KJV better, wish more people would use it today.
There is not one scripture quoted here that would not be more clear an eloquent if the author had used the KJV of Scripture. Otherwise no argument from me on the conclusions.
Not one Church can honestly say they do not have a hook in their doctrine that is designed to keep the member in line and dutiful.
Good perspective!
From Ron Graham:
“I am the way the truth and the life” – the whole reason for this statement was that people would believe and not perish. Those who do not believe Jesus’ words will certainly perish. “…that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16b. This verse is just as exclusive as the verse in John 14:6. To obtain everlasting life we must first believe in Him (Jesus Christ) as the one who gives everlasting life. There is no other God and there is simply no reason for political correctness. If God Almighty isn’t being PC why should we?
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17. There is no condemnation in Jesus Christ the condemnation is in believing there are other paths/roads/religions that lead to the Father. All who believe this erroneous concept are condemning themselves to Hell. God gives us His truth to follow – it’s up to us to believe and to follow Him as our only Savoir and Lord. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19. “
If both are necessary Christ didn’t need to die. If our works mattered to our salvation then we could keep the law. If we can keep the law, Christ died in vain. (Galations 2:21)
Works are PROOF of our trust, not required for Salvation.
Both are good, one is necessary.
If you are willing to set a price for something(works) then it is not free. Jesus made it abundantly clear that Grace is a free Gift of God. He also made it clear that works are a good thing.
I prefer the KJV version also.
It’s what I was reading when I became a saved Born Again Christian.
Any version will work though.
Just pray before reading that the Holy Spirit will show you what God wanted to get across to you.
He is ever faithful.
another is Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.
When you’re in love with someone, you eagerly want to do for them, be with them, read their love letters, etc. For a Christian, it is the same. If we love the Lord, really love him and aren’t just being religious, we will love to do what He asks of us, trust Him when things don’t go the way we wish they would; we love to be in his presence and read his words.
Works are the evidence that we’re saved, but they are not what saves us.
Yes, those who believe St. James “Faith without works is dead”, and St. Paul who was “working out my salvation in fear and trembling”, understand that stating your belief in Christ and His resurrection, does not excuse you from living out that belief.
Don’t just blame unchaste women. Christian men can be unchaste too and they are just as accountable to God for their actions.
“What does it mean to ‘believe’ to you? James 2:19 ‘You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.’ Surely, there is more to belief than mere knowledge.”
To place one’s trust in / have faith in. The demons believe in God’s existence, but they have no faith or trust in Him.
The key is in the verse. If they’re willing to respectfully listen to the Gospel, great! If they become more and more angry and violent, such that they desire to “turn again and rend” us, well, Christ tells us we don’t have to evangelize them. It’s Christ who called them “dogs” and “swine,” and it’s Christ who commands us to not give “pearls” to swine and to not give “that which is holy” to dogs.
Well, no. That is not at all what Paul says.
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2:12
I saw online a sermon on “works”. We use the same word - but in the Bible there are three words for “work”. I think it is “dyonmos” (dynamite) for the the work that God does. Both by Himself, and through us. It is that word that is used in the verse about “faith without works is dead”.
Another word is for work that man does - I think that is used once in the Bible. And then a third word for “work” which I can’t remember at the moment - but it is also used quite a bit in the Bible.
