Featured The connection between: Loving Jesus—Obedience—Eternal Life

I'm not hating anyone, You attack my character because you have no substance on the content we debate.

 

Easy to refute. I'm going to let you interpret this, cause only an idiot could interpret it anyways otherwise.

1 Corinthians 10
13No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

 

More with this hateful attitude

 

The book of James is why so many hate the bible.

It targets the theme we are covering. Its no surprise why Martin Luther hated this book.

A BAPTIST didn't write James and sure the heck wasn't a Calvinist Baptist. They would lose their job in a heartbeat.



James 1

12Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

^God doesn't tempt anyone.


James 1
2Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Endurance is required.




James 1

22But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.


^if you ever said anything close to that I would eat my own shoe!

Everyone knows BAPTISTS don't say these things.

 

If you could send me your study for:

James 1

22But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.


That would be interesting. Like explaining a hearer of the law who delude themselves and not a doer.
Or what does a unsaved "forgetter" forget? If he never had it and could never get it in the first place.




Maybe give me your study for Next page

James 2

26For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.


Body = Faith

Spirit = Works


If you stack some dead bodies the spirit comes afterwards right?

 

Who has hated you and your message here? And what exactly is your message?

 

Are you a Jesse Morrell follower too?

 

So Luther was a Baptist, was he?

Baptists preach on James as often as they preach on anything else. It's a small book in a big Bible, but it entirely endorses Reformed Baptist theology. Of course it does. James was a Baptist.

 

If my "good moral character" results in salvation then Christ died in vain. Do we live Holy After we are saved? Absolutely, CHRIST LIVES IN ME and THROUGH ME. Am i Mature and Perfect in conduct and attitude? Nope. Am i striving to Be? yes. Because that is the new nature within me.

Are toddlers ready for full time jobs and raising their own families? Do infants feed themselves and make their own omlets? Do 5 year olds master the art of conflict resolution? No, they must mature and learn to grow up.

Same thing for Christians, man. We must mature and become who God wants us to be in Christ. The maturation process for a believer takes time. With that being said, it is God who Works in you to will and to do of His good pleasure. NO boasting even if you are doing what you are called to do.

 

Jesus stated that He will NONE that He ever saves, do you agree with Him then?

 

James and paul taught same thing, as did Calvin, as ALL agreed that a real saving faith evidenced by good works. Byproducy of salvation, NOT cause of it!

 

Wonderful! How about the rest of the post?

Just to remind you of the verse you are responding to: 'For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you"' (Heb. 13:5). The promise is God's to Joshua (Deuteronomy 31:8; Joshua 1:5). So you are saying that the verse really means, "I may very well leave you or forsake you." Is that your interpretation?

So do you believe therefore that the indwelling of the Spirit is in fact totally ineffective?

Amen! But God says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep my judgements and do them" (Ezekiel 36:26-27), and also
'"But this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the Lord: "I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them." Then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more"' (Hebrews 10:16-17).

Now, how about responding to the rest of my post?[/QUOTE]

 

Honest question here, have you ever thought that what you believe about salvation might be wrong? And the person or denomination that taught it to you might be wrong?
