    Faith without good works is dead.

    With real faith that is essential with which there is salvation from God's provision will have works that may be seen resulting. We are told from the Bible there are blessings from this resulting work, we need this, as being told that is encouragement to us, for more godly work from us that...

    Is it right to ask others to pray for us?

    It really is right to ask other believers to pray for us if they are willing, it is biblical for more believers to pray about something, according to what is in God's will. We can just pray rightly to God who we approach through Christ for that. Saints are in heaven, the departed believers in...

    How can they close churches, and set aside our Bill of Rights and freedom of religion?

    Human inclination overrides institutions thought to be written in stone. The Bill of Rights, enshrined as it is, is not eternal. And votes may overturn anything. With the voting in these days, and with response to visible dissatisfaction, democracy is voted away, and is being eroded away. If you...

    What is God's role in salvation?

    You got that right. False issue. We are accountable, we are not damnable without it we

    Does Jesus Hate Children?

    God is love, Jesus shows that. The problem we have is that the world is cursed. It isn't God's fault, it is humanity's fault, and we are spreading that curse, with all our sinning. God would show justice throwing this world away and starting with a new one. As God is love, as Jesus shows, Jesus...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    We can change our minds, and even leave heresies behind that way.

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Besides the subject of whether Luther brought in heresy, there is the subject of how any heresy does persist. Do they? I can say they sure do. Many heresies persist. Those which are really heresies are not true, and are not with the Holy Spirit empowering them. Persistence then is no proof of...

    Tithing

    I have nothing to say against giving. With being enabled we should be giving. The tithes, mentioned in the old testament, were never money, and not ever for a church, but were given when it was established certainly for shepherding people, with the early abundance, to show they would do things...

    What is God's role in salvation?

    What does that have to do with any of these things being discussed? Can you explain how it relates? Where is accountability? There is no accountability we have for whether it rains on a specific day. But how do any people perish and be damned with no accountability? They would just need to...

    Are dinosaurs in the bible?

    Creatures mentioned in the Bible might be ones that are not known to us now. Many species have been going extinct. But pairs of land animals of all kinds were saved from the flood in the ark. Any kinds of animals from before could have been around after it, for some time.

    What is God's role in salvation?

    No, not one single Bible verse determines in any way however remotely that responding repentantly having faith is at all a work. It actually accomplishes nothing itself, change of works should happen afterward from that. So if we do not respond, for having that, we are logically not...

    25 dead in a mass church shooting in Texas

    Nice way to disown the statement that Democrats should be restricted from guns. You still overlook what I stated already saying Black Lives Matter does not address violence of blacks against blacks, it is not about black people, it is about the police force with institutional violence against...

    The gods behind abortion

    Interesting but I and others do not conclude meaning of God's word which is the Bible from the Talmud, which is something else. If one is open, and a few are, it can be seen that God, the Creator, cares for every creature. As humans will justify killing some they then can justify killing others...

    25 dead in a mass church shooting in Texas

    I do not say that at all. It was your suggestion there should be separate treatment of Democrats in some business transactions, which requires among other things invasive inquiry of all individuals, which are irrelevant. I know that Black Lives Matter is unfairly dismissed. It is not about any...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    Fortunately our entering Heaven is not at all dependent on how we answer a question when we stand at a gate to enter. We are either already in Christ, or we would not even get that far if we are not in Christ. All others will stand in judgment for all things in their lives without Christ who...

    25 dead in a mass church shooting in Texas

    It seems that focusing on politics and approaches which Republicans do, that many among Christians embrace, is in need of remembering who Jesus is. Remember his example, he shows mercy, love, compassion, patience, and caring for others in many ways. The downtrodden are not to be neglected...

    I am not iBot!

    I checked through this thread, as it is likely the member playing iBot posted in here with the regular account being used. A good portion of members among the posters here have not been active in this forum site for a long while. Only one of those members stopped being active close to the last...

    I am not iBot!

    iBot was last seen on this forum site on April 18. One could look to see when another member stopped being acfive on this forum site around that time, to figure out which member was probably playing iBot.

    25 dead in a mass church shooting in Texas

    Giving you the benefit of the doubt, there still would not be a legal basis constitutionally to have restrictions in place for some according to whether they are politically Republican or Democrat. Any movement actually in that direction for controlling people would resemble fascism too much.

    25 dead in a mass church shooting in Texas

    Your whole argument is against a political party and those in it. First of all, I do not belong to any political party. Second of all, Christianity is not a political movement and it is not supposed to be. It is a mistake to seek having Christianity that way. That mistake has occurred enough in...
