    Paul vs James?

    This has been a difficult topic for me personally in as much as communicating the truth in the subject. I think the author here does a good job. Enjoy and comment please! "May 10 Numbers 19; Psalms 56–57; Isaiah 8:1–9:7; James 2 “for we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from...

    God over free-will

    I seek to search the concept of human free-will in accordance with the sovereignty of God. I ask the Lord Most High to use His Holy Spirit to guide this endeavor in the name of Jesus Christ. I will begin by defining the term "free-will". When thinking of the term "free-will" one will rightly...

    Work, that dirty word...

    God is love, His command is to love. Exhortation to be changed to love. Attitudes and emotions play a large role in the reality of creation. Thoughts take seat in our disposition and world views help shape our actions. Be us transformed by the renewal of our minds and decide to be hands...

    The Judgments of the Future THE JUDGMENT OF BELIEVERS’ WORKS After the church is taken to heaven through translation and resurrection, individual believers will be judged for their works done as Christians (1 Co 3:11–15). Salvation with its assurance of heaven is not in question, only whether...

    Doctrine for Salvation

    2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. What I have heard said is doctrine does not save you. True, it is God that saves you, by a gift, that is Jesus Christ...

    Do we need evil?

    I was conversing with a friend of mine on the subject of good and evil. He seems to believe that in order for us to understand good, we have to have evil. What do you think?

    To Judge

    Matthew 7:1-2 Judge not that ye be not be judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. At what measure do you judge, or do you judge at all? Does it extend only to the length to which you have sinned, or does...
