    Justification - Part 2

    According to James which came first? Abraham’s faith or his works? I would have to say that his faith came first and his works followed. Since both Paul and James quote Genesis saying ‘Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness ‘. Paul was referring to the time when He...

    It is both. Being declared righteous is being made righteous, or right with God. Justified and made righteous are synonymous and have the same meaning in Greek. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Justification - Part 2

    Josiah Sounds like you are doing what the Church in Corinth had done, dividing Christian against Christian. 1Cor 1:11. For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,”...

    Justification - Part 2

    Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2 - We have been justified as Paul stated...

    No one has a 'personal' translation. No such thing exists, except maybe the NWT of the Watchtower. That is their personal translation.

    Justification - Part 2

    Often when a translation has an added word they use Italics to indicate the addition to the translation for clarification. Or an asterisk * is used to indicate addition for clarification. The NLT has neither. That could be dangerous in trying to interpret a passage when words have been either...

    That doesn't give a publisher of the Holy Bible the privilege to add words that are not in the original languages. Therefore it is wrong to use those versions that do so!

    Can the Holy Spirit be taken away?

    God's mercy can never be taken away. His mercy is everlasting! God is gracious to the repentant. Luke 18 11 The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a...

    I use the NASB because it's the best word for word translation from the original languages. The NIV is the best thought for thought translation.

    Justification - Part 2

    NLT is a paraphrase not a tranalation and not faithful to the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. IOW it's not a version a Christian should use.

    Justification - Part 2

    His version did not remove it because the original manuscripts never had it! So again I ask, which version are you using and why add words that are not supposed to be there?

    Justification - Part 2

    Why did you add the word 'chosen' to those verses when no Bible contains the word chosen? Adding to the word changes context! Makes it a pretext! What version? The NMV? (New Menno Version)?

    Justification - Part 2

    I know what you claim and I also know what a denomination is. The Catholic Church claims to be pre-denomination not a denomination. Claiming doesn’t make it so. Proving it does. What is denomination? What is its meaning? Denomination— a religious organization whose congregations are united...

    When you are chosen by God you know you are so it would not be arrogance saying one is chosen or elect. To say salvation comes through one and only one denomination is arrogance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
