    A serious discussion.

    I like how you leave out words here. Of course, James will be wrong if you don't quote him correctly. Jame 2:24 (NKJV) You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. It is the act of doing what God says to do, that is your works. Jame 2:21 (NKJV) Was not Abraham our...

    God's Elect

    Who does the baptist church see the God's elect as? All throughout the New Testament, the Bible talks about God's elect. As far as I can recall, I've never heard a sermon on who the elect are. References: Matthew 24:22 Matthew 24:24 Matthew 24:41 Romans 9:11 Romans 11:7 and others

    Ah, Matthew 24:14. Thanks.

    What scripture backs this claim?

    A serious discussion.

    It is my personal opinion through my knowledge of the Bible that I say, I believe that God is merely saying to Cain, "Do as I say and you are accepted to me, don't do as I say and you are in sin." God uses this over and over in the Bible. He wants his Saints to obey his commandments. Cain made...

    Does Jesus still have scar marks?

    (Rev 5:6) And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Jesus looks as a slain...

    Things Continue As They Were?

    Well, let's take a look at the creation of the earth first. Gene 1:1 (NKJV) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Ok, so pay...

    Does it matter where I worship?

    Here is the entire context. Jesus is basically explaining the differences of physical verses spiritual. He uses water as a metaphor. Pay attention that he says you must worship in spirit. John 4:7 (NKJV) A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." 8 For His...

    Does it matter where I worship?

    John 4:20 (NKJV) "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you [Jews] say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." 21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 "You worship...

    What is a "work"?

    Dean, I did not say that your works and faith justify you, I said, as the Bible says, it is God that justifies you based on your faith and works. Because faith and works are just believing in Him and following his commandments. They are essentially the same thing. Acts 13:39 (NKJV) "and by...

    What is a "work"?

    I'll admit that the way I worded first was wrong and I went back and fixed it. By your faith and your works God justifies you, because you are doing what he said to do as he told you to do. I will agree that God is the only one...

    What is a "work"?

    I think the issue here is what we define as faith and works. I must not have the Baptist ideology of faith and works so let me define them by scripture. First, let's start back in James. Where is clearly states that faith and works make perfect, as James says about Abraham. Jame 2:22 (NKJV) Do...

    What is a "work"?

    Decon, My definition of justification is just as yours, to be righteous. And what is it to be righteous? To be just and lawful. I agree that a man cannot be justified(righteous) by his works alone, I said that before; a man is justified(righteous/lawful) by doing his works AND by faith. 20...

    Things Continue As They Were?

    2Pet 3:3 (NKJV) knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they] [were] from the beginning of creation." 5 For this they...
