    "Whatever is not of faith is sin" - if God knew to create and did not, God would be in Hell?

    Hi there, So the full statement I wanted to make, was this: We are all obliged to do what we can about faith, this applies to God, as well. God could refuse to create, even, but His conscience would convict Him that He had not done something He had faith to do. God being God, He has an infinite...

    Not under law: Not under its condemnation or its commands?

    Hello! Various passages of Scripture suggest we're not under the law, which I understand to be the law of Moses. Do these passages suggest that its commands are no longer binding on us today? Acts of the Apostles 15 seems to be about circumcision and keeping the law of Moses in general (Acts of...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...
