    Justification - Part 2

    You appear to be missing something, did you use the KJV? Sirach 7:31 Fear the Lord, and honour the priest; and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee; the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of...

    Justification - Part 2

    Yes, back to justification. I didn't think you'd want to discuss "sanctification" despite it being a topic you raised. I also had my doubts that you'd want to discuss the verses in the KJV that use the word "sanctification"; specifically 1Corinthians 1:30, 1Thessalonians 4:3, 1Thessalonians...

    There is none in the KJV verses mentioned. It's all canon.

    Justification - Part 2

    In the holy scriptures the only passages that mention (in the KJV) the word "sanctification are found in 1Corinthians 1:30, 1Thessalonians 4:3, 1Thessalonians 4:4, 2Thessalonians 2:13, 1Peter 1:2, Sirach 7:31. Which one or ones do you want us to give special attention?

    Justification - Part 2

    I am not sure why the order of "faith" and "works" is such a sticking point for you. It is obvious, I think, that both faith and works must come together before the "faith" can be considered "Christian faith" because "Christian faith" requires "works" in order to be "Christian faith". Let me...

    Justification - Part 2

    Okay, I am wondering why you wrote what you did. I wrote "Yes, not comparing scripture with scripture only but understanding each scripture by experiencing it in life - reading about how to swim will never teach what actually swimming can teach about swimming. The same is true of the holy...

    I do hope that "butt" is a typo or a spelling error. The conjunction is spelled "but" whereas "butt" is short for buttocks.... The post is for information purposes only.

    Justification - Part 2

    The Israelites always had faith and knew that faith was necessary to please God. But some among them, like the Pharisees who opposed Jesus, were hypocrite. That is true of Christians today too. Christians know that faith is necessary to be pleasing to God. But some among Christians are...

    God serves you

    In Christian worship the faithful receive Jesus Christ in the holy Eucharist, he is and always will be the servant brother of the faithful as well as the Lord King of the faithful and the Prophet Word of God. The idea of Christ as priest is Christ as servant.

    Justification - Part 2

    I'm not so sure that James was writing to pagans. He starts his letter like this: James 1:1 James, a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greetings to the twelve tribes scattered among the nations.

    Justification - Part 2

    I am not taking James' letter alone, it is part of the whole revelation given by God both in holy scripture and especially in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments and Jehovah said to obey is better than sacrifice as well as [Jehovah] has told you, O...

    Justification - Part 2

    No, I am not putting emphasis on works as opposed to faith I am quoting what is in the letter of James in the bible it says "a man is justified by works and not by faith alone". It isn't as if works are given primacy by the letter it is just that works and faith are absolutely necessary for the...

    Justification - Part 2

    I do not think you've asked the right person. For some reason what saint James wrote is causing difficulty; specifically, a person is justified by works and not by faith alone upsets a specific kind of theology.

    Isn't what you wrote what we've been writing to you in our posts " those whom God makes alive will repent" you write and we wrote "[A man dead in sins responds to the call to repent in] The same way that Lazarus (who was dead) responded to the command of the Lord when the Lord said "Lazarus come...

    You are right. David was a man of his times and knew only what was revealed at the time he said those words. The story goes this way: 2Samuel 12:11 Thus says Jehovah: Your misfortune will rise from your own house! I will take your wives from you and give them to your neighbour who shall lie with...
