    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    Luther did not want the book of James included in the canon because it undermined the false prophet Paul. James stated that without works there is no faith. You can have faith, as indicated with the demons, and still come up short. As the "false prophet" of Revelation 16:12 has a demon...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    And if your physically unable to "perform works", then what? Nobody is saved by "works". Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    I believe as far as the interpretation of scripture did not necessarily begin with Luther, Biblical citations can support that salvation is by both faith and works, James 2:14-26 Faith Without Works Is Dead 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works...

    Faith is being sure...

    And like Franz. , everything faith based went splat! That's what happens when people try to make faith sound noble and virtuous.

    Faith is being sure...

    I was applying the thought about faith without works to attaining riches as one's goal in life.

    Faith is being sure...

    That's not what Paul was referring to. If I remember correctly, what he was saying was that just believing something wasn't enough - what was required were action actions to show your faith was true James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    I will simply answer the theological challenge above in this post...as its very clear that you do not understand the theology of Salvation by Grace through Faith. The "dilemma of faith and works" I am an SDA and our denomination believes that the debate about faith and works rages because a...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    In reference to your first comment about Adam and Eve, and the compendium of opinion about that, I realize that many of the early Christians were persecuted by religious people who firmly disagreed with them. So what does that mean? That opinions are just that. And if you believe scientific...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    Paul refers to the fact that it is not necessary to fulfill works based on the Mosaic law. However, Paul himself insists that people who have inappropriate practices (works) will not inherit the kingdom of God. Does Paul contradict himself in his writings, or do people misinterpret him?

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    First of all you start on a wrong foot. There was never an Adam and Eve. Man has been around for at least 200,000 years. According to the Bible the universe was built in 6 literal days. There is no contradiction if you don't need faith (and/or works) but you were predestined to be saved before...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    What is important are deeds, not "intentions", best expressed by James 2:14-17 & Matthew 25:41-42. "Faith, if it has no works is dead", whereas those who did not feed the hungry will be "accursed" and sanctioned to the "eternal fire". The God of Israel, Abraham, and Isaac crushed Israel when...

    Faith Without Works Is Dead

    Monday 11-13-23 2nd. Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Cheshvan 28 5784, 52nd. Fall Day “Faith without works is dead” is a phrase that appears in the Bible, in the book of James 2:14-26. The passage explains that faith alone is not enough to save a person, but that faith must be accompanied by good...

    WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT IS ABOLISHED?

    You quoted Paul in Galatians, and said it was the message of "Jesus". Yeshua's message was that one was to produce "good fruit" or be cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 3). Matthew 13:39-42 says that those "who commit lawlessness", such as the "many" followers of Paul's false gospel of...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Your response here... Hi Brian, nice to see you again. According to the scripture, I believe Gods' people are in every Church (John 10:17) living up to all the knowledge that God has revealed to them from His Word. The problem is not all the Church's are following God and His Word but have been...

    Faith without Work

    James 2 1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    A person has to be born again or they aren’t a believer John 3. If a person is saying now there is no God and say they were a Christian once then they had to know God existed and had a relationship with Him. The 2 don’t mix, can’t have it both ways. An atheist who said they were a Christian...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    And yet there are clear passages that say over and over just belief /faith brings salvation. "not of works, lest anyone should boast." Then we get For you render to each one according to his works. Psalm 62:12 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin...

    “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-10‬...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    LOL!! It is to you, because you seem to be unable to read in context. Try exegesis; I think this will help you. Exegesis tries to listen to the text, and let meaning come from the text itself in its original, historical context. Eisegesis brings meaning to the text, and does not concern...
