Does faith alone save? Yes. Is faith without works/fruits stillborn, i.e. a birth that produces no life? Yes. According to Mat. 7, almost all professing “Christians” aren’t Christians. Jesus NEVER knew them. The vast masses, headed for destruction, the “Many” who will never see life vss. 13-14...

I have a question. Could God "choose" to save everyone "If" He so "chose" to do so?

Ok. So, you agree with those Jesus corrected that logic and reason is no indicator at all of correct beliefs and that Jesus should have been dismissed without a hearing. There are 45,000 different belief groups out there within the group labeled "Christian", and in Mat. 7 Jesus says almost all...

The problem isn't that faith is illogical. The problem is that "most people's" faith is illogical. As Jesus pointed out in the 50 places where He claimed people's beliefs were off from truth, the reason they are incorrect is because they hold to beliefs that do not make sense when all the...

Interesting. Many validate, and identify, with all the people who refused to consider Jesus' words. Sending sound over wire... ludicrous. Over the airwaves? You are a loon. Flying? Of course you are nuts. Logic and reason state that everything seems impossible till those who fail to see how...

The Pharisees got it right. Only God can forgive sins. Jesus didn't argue the point because they were correct. That's a part of the point. If they reasoned ... but what if He is claiming to be God ... which they did later on. And then they accused Him of blasphemy ... because He claimed to be...

Actually, there are only two groups of people. Those with the ongoing "Fruits". or habit and way of life actions, attitudes, responses that prove them to be true Christians, and those with the "Fruits". or habit and way of life actions, attitudes, responses that prove them to be still lost and...

Part 2 So, missing this "particular" "day of the Lord would mean you did not have the Holy Spirit in the first place. And yes, according to Mat. 7, almost all those who believe Jesus is their Lord, God and Savior, are going to miss it. But then that would mean you are still lost and...

Part 1 Rapturo and Harpodzoe have the same meaning. The first is Greek, and the second Latin. But come on now. Who wouldn't want to be "Raptured". To be "Harpodzoed" sounds like something that happens to an unfortunate whale meeting up with a bunch of whalers. Just saying. LOL I haven't heard...

Hmmm. Interesting question. Joh 9:21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself." 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be...

Who knew? I didn't. There are about 50 places I could find where Jesus refuted incorrect beliefs, practices, doctrines, ... and from what I can see, Jesus expects true Christians to evaluate every belief based on whether or not the belief makes complete logical, reasonable rational sense IN...

If you do not have the Holy Spirit, according to Romans, you aren't a Christian. The Holy Spirit is given as a pledge of our future inheritance at the moment of salvation. No Holy Spirit = not a Christian.

The 10 commandments, the original ones were carved out of stone with the very finger of God. The law, the Pentateuch, the 5 books were delivered by God to Moses. Moses, and those God said for him to delegate authority to, were to judge between others based on that "Law". The law was delivered by...

Context, context, context ... the Context is, before you judge anyone else BY THE STANDARD I AM ABOUT TO COMMAND YOU TO JUDGE EVERYONE ELSE BY, judge yourselves and make sure you do not fall short. Mat. 1-5 covers that warning. Vs. 6 is Jesus command to judge others based on their responses to...
