Paul discussed Faith & Law, while James discussed Faith & works. I believe what Paul was emphasizing is that salvation is not a result of following the Law but is through faith, while James was emphasizing that genuine faith will always produce “works”. I see no disagreement just different discussions.Wm

I believe that's what we are suposed to do, all of us are in error at times and we need each other (and the Holy Spirit) to help us with it.

kejonn, Genesis 7:2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.Even if there had been only two doves I'm sure God would have bought them back…[Read more]

I like learning from facts, they will always support the truth (although a given interpretation of those facts may not be accurate). For me at least I've found at times that after learning a fact I would reinterpret my position, and gain even greater harmony with the whole of scripture.Wm

Quote (chosenone @ June 25 2007,02:18)I would like to know what your opinions are that Christs death and resurrection has done for mankind.  There seems to be many differing opinions as to what this accomplished.       Thank you all for your opinions, I'm sure there will be a great variety of thought, I will add my opinion later if requested, but…[Read more]

I disagree Gene,Job 34:10 “So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong. 11 He repays a man for what he has done; he brings upon him what his conduct deserves.I believe this verse makes it clear that when scripture speaks of “I make peace, and create evil” He is referring to a 2nd…[Read more]

chosenone,Quote I do not understand when you say “God made the wicked, but did not make them wicked”. How could God make the wicked and them not be wicked? Thanks for your input.I do not believe they are made wicked, but they have inherited it (through Adam), as have we all. However God's position is “While we were yet sinners…”

Thanks Is 1:18,God in all His wisdom knows there is no value to evil and it isn't needed to “balance out good” as some believe. But, He will use it to show futility of sin but it is not part of Him.Wm

Nick,I agree1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Timothy 1:13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.James 2:13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.…[Read more]

I agree the major problem today isn't that people don't know scripture but they don't know the context of scriptures. Too long have we heard snippets of verses pulled out of context to support a position, rather than trying to understand the truth that the author was attempting to relay to us. This has resulted in great delusion and confusion…[Read more]

I believe the trouble with many denominations is they make one truth, the truth, thus missing all truth.
