    Paul vs James who is right?

    I would not have thought of that description, but there are certainly the encouragements for faith and not fearing, and the warning against faithlessness and falling to more sin in rebellion to God. That is what sin is. When we think sin is hard to avoid, remember, it is rebellion to God. It is...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    But I have told you. There is salvation just through Christ, and this with repentant faith to be restored to God. There are rules here to not even accuse others of not believing that, other than them saying that of themselves, then they do not belong here. And, no one is losing their salvation...

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    I see... You then have a Calvinist position. That is another topic though. Christ was indeed the only effective sacrifice for anyone.

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    I don't know! I'll be as clear as is possible and maybe you will get it. I don't know if there is really a lake of fire. Mention of such is in a book full of symbols. But I was clear, over and over, that salvation is in Christ. You don't have any righteousness of your own, no one does, to just...

    YAHUAH

    Consider John 17:6. Jesus spoke in prayer to the Father in Heaven. "I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me." It is best understood the people descended from Israel had forgotten it with not speaking the name of...

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    No, it is not clear he did. You are reading something compromising it. You are not persuasive. Text was altered, I am not persuaded by the claim that Jesus ate fish, from the one passage where honeycomb was edited out, Jesus only said to eat it, proving he was alive, and as I cannot believe it...

    Dealing with the day after

    The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    Making a personal dig? You just were speaking to include me as a big deceiver. That is a personal remark. Don't do that. Stay on topic? You were the one going on about getting thrown in the lake of fire. I was giving you a full answer, and straight enough. I do not consider that some can't...

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    It is apparently assumed that as a seventh day Sabbath observer I am a Seventh Day Adventist. This has been assumed before, it has nothing to do with the reality. I am not, and I do not make any choices based on anything whatever of what White said. I observe the will of God, and that is what is...

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Yes, but that is not possibly all. Christ Jesus did not speak to all others to repent for nothing. God did not say what to do or what not to do for nothing but showing need of the Savior to save them from the wrath of God. The Savior is not doing something to go contrary to what God would do...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    Well you are really set on talking about getting thrown into a lake of fire. Are you lots of fun at a party? Whatever is represented in the Bible, whether literal, which many things are in the Bible, or figurative, which lots of things are in the Book of Revelation, God's justice is absolutely...

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Well, you want to bring up righteousness... That's something else. You don't have any of your own. No one does. Since ever, actually, any righteousness is from God, through Christ, to be applied to the redeemed. What is the point of sin being revealed? It is pointless for any betterment, but for...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    You seem to have assumptions, such as teachings I received and spread. I get my conclusions from the Bible and do not depend on a church or congregation for them. There is a sensible approach to the Bible. What is shown as God's will is God's will, and that does not change. When something shown...

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Fulfillment was obedience there should have been. So fallen are all who are of humanity, that none are obedient fully to God, just Jesus could be, and was, fulfilling so what the law was there for, to have obedience to God being shown. That did not abolish it. Those saying that is its meaning do...

    After critical times

    The huge creature, the underearthworm, continued to be around the wall, going along it on the outside of the garden with drenched plants all around in it, seemingly needing to feed right there. Those watching soon decided that their plants they needed to have growing were not threatened by this...
