    Faith without woks explained

    I'm sorry that I misled you with the title. Way back in the 1990s when I came in/back I would hear “If all it takes to be saved is to believe in Jesus then the demons would be saved.” I even remember that I heard a pastor say it from the pulpit. The second chapter of James was cited to support...

    Faith without woks explained

    Thank you. The more that I know about the salvation process the more I understand what God has done for us. Jesus did it all and all we need do is trust and obey. God bless

    Faith without woks explained

    Read Genesis 22:2 -12. Isaac was a young man. Some estimate Isaac's age to be in his late teens. Let's read about Abraham being declared to be righteous. Read Genesis 15:2 -6. Abraham had no children when he was declared righteous. Abraham was declared righteous then at least 13 years later...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    I'm sorry. I must be in combat mode. Forgive me please. I believe that messianic Jews can obey the law, out of love, if they do it without doing anything that required them to deny Jesus. What I mean is, they cannot observe any sacrifice for their sins. If they did, it would be a witness to the...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    Hebrews 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    Galatians 3:24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. NKJV Is that a Jew writing the above? Paul states he, even though he's a Jew. is no longer under the tutor, the law...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    Acts 15:3 So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren. 4 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    I am teaching that we should observethose things that Jesus taught. Observe them out of love not for righteousness. Galatians 2:1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. 2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    I am saying that we obey that which Jesus convicts us of to stay in the Spirit. We do not have to obey the law as Jesus did that for us. We should conduct ourselves as God's children out of love.

    The reason for Jesus' oration of John 6.

    John 2:24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. NKJV Yes, Jesus knew what each person was in need of. He knew that a lot of the people were just looking for a free meal. Yet, He...

    What happens when a person believes the gospel message?

    I tried another multi quote and I don't get it. To Guojing Remember those Gospel bibles that started with the gospel of John and continued from there to revelation. Those were for new believers. With those bibles people did not get confused as to when the NT began. Matthew 16:16...

    What a time for witnessing!

    There is no symbolism in the 2 witness being killed. There is no symbolism in God calling the 2 witnesses to"come up here." There is no symbolism that the God of the ones being called is the "God of the earth", and Jesus has taken controll of the kingdoms of the world. There is no symbolism in...

    What a time for witnessing!

    There could have been only one meeting between the two main witnesses and the anti-christ. He would not have let such an opportunity pass without killing them. To have them meet in Jerusalem would certainly have been planned by God. To have them, and OT an NT saints, being called to heaven...

    What a time for witnessing!

    Chapter 11 of the book of revelation has the characters and conditions needed for the rapture named in the parable of the tares and in Matthew 24: 29-31. It is after the harvesting of the tares, Sixth trumpet, and Matt 24:23-28. It has the OT and NT Saints being called and the trumpet. It has...
