THE BROTHER OF JESUS CHRIST Jude 1.1 Most likely Jude, the author of this Letter is the one of the brothers of Jesus Christ. In total Jesus have four brothers and unknown number of sisters. Matthew 13.55-56 55. "Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers...

RICH AND POOR James 5.1-6 In these verses James very harshly condemns the rich for their power by which they abuse others. To be rich is not a sin, many our Patriarchs of Faith were rich in material wealth, starting from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, David, Solomon, and others. But a person became...

PRAYERS James 4.1-3 These verses reveal the source of confusion among some Christians who ask a question, 'Why we do not receive from GOD that we ask?" James gives a perfect answer to that question, "because you ask with wrong motives." Or because you do not deserve it, that could be another...

Yes, I have been in Fundamentalists churched too, and I agree with you how you describe them. I do not belong to any particular group, sect, or denomination, but Concerning perseverance, I certainly believe in perseverance of the saints and all other who have faith in Christ. For true Christian...

Yes, all above, for some people the Good Work in the Name of Christ are not important and for some even not necessary. Some people assume that by promise of GOD of Salvation alone, or by His Grace alone they are already saved. So, why do Good Works if you already saved by the Grace or by the...

TEACHERS AND ACCOUNTABILITY James 3.1 "Let not many of you become teachers." Many people like to teach and give advises but not all of them are of good, practical, or beneficial. And so, among the Christians who spent tenths of thousands of dollars in seminary, for their right to teach, but...

I commented on the writing of James. if you understand what James said in his writing then you surely will understand what I meant in my comment. As I wrote in my previous posts and replies, Faith without Good Works is Dead. It means that one cannot exist without another, just like the head...

WORKS AND FAITH James 2.26 I could not pass this last paragraph of James because of its importance and emphasis on Good Deeds in Christ. Of course, the Works of Law (Physical Rituals and Ceremonies of the Law of Moses) and Faith, is the subject of constant debates and disagreements among...

RICH AND POOR James 2.5-7 5. Listen my beloved brethren, did not GOD choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom, which He promised to those who love Him? (1Corinthians 2.9) (James 2.5) (John 14.23) (Luke 6.35) (Isaiah 64.4) (Psalm 91.14-16). KSB James condemned...

I heard it too many times in many different churches. Some pastors and some, so call "Christians" quickly made judgement on others without knowing anything about Hell and the destiny of unbelievers. The Bible has many passages about Hell, and those who ungodly, for them no place to go between...

"Real saving faith will result in good works to evidence the fruit of salvation, but are not part of getting that salvation." Excellent translation! Actually, Good Works as the fruit, among many other good fruits of Faith and Love, are the parts of Salvation, but individually not the Salvation...

DOUBLE - MINDED James 1.6.8 Here James combined those who doubt GOD and His Gospel, who accept the Gospel but do not follow it, they are all double-minded. But here is much more about this matter, because it all depends on what is doubtful and what is not. James does not talk here about...

THE GOOD DEEDS Hebrews 13.16.21 And of course, Paul never forgets the importance and value of the Good Deeds in Christ. And here again he mentioned Good Deeds and made very important conclusion comparing Good Deeds to a sacrifice to GOD (16). Indeed, then you do Good Deeds you are usually...

It is true, but not all Jews went back to their orthodox Judaism, millions of Jews all around world worship, obeying, and love their Messiah Jesus Christ. We must be very careful not to stereotype any race but look at the best of it.

I purposely gave you all the places of the Bible in which Good Works are mentioned, so you can read and chose which of them relate to salvation, and many are. You did not read them all. Those who precondition themselves to reject, will reject everything, including common sense and undeniable...
