    What is the Church Age Theory?

    That is about what I heard when Dwight Pentecost's book on Prophecy was in vogue. But things change in dispensationalism and now some other scheme may be in vogue.

    Justification - Part 2

    The same way that Lazarus (who was dead) responded to the command of the Lord when the Lord said "Lazarus come forth". Is it so hard to understand that the call of God to "repent and believe the gospel" is a command? Is it so unclear that the command calls for response? That is why I wrote It is...

    Justification - Part 2

    I can't help but chuckle at your hatchet job on my post. What I really wrote is It is fundamental for the faithful that good works are good because God ordains them to be done by the faithful. Note that it is the faithful who do the good works that God ordained for them to do. They are called...

    Justification - Part 2

    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 scriptures, reading and quoting scripture will never teach what...

    Justification - Part 2

    It is fundamental for the faithful that good works are good because God ordains them to be done by the faithful. Note that it is the faithful who do the good works that God ordained for them to do. They are called the faithful because they have faith in God; specifically, because they repent and...

    Justification - Part 2

    God alone justifies because God alone is capable of pronouncing the words "well done thou good and faithful servant" yet it is important to acknowledge what God says through saint James and through the prophets and apostles and most of all through the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is justified by...

    Justification - Part 2

    The lone verse is the voice of God speaking the truth "a person is justified by works and not by faith alone" it is a lone voice because God is one and God alone can speak this truth because no one else decides what justifies and what does not justify. But the verse is not really one verse...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota, the faithful in Christ enjoy God's grace and fully realise that it is by grace that God's children are saved and not by works of the Law and the faithful in Christ fully realise that God's children are called to live a life characterised by good works because there is no other...

    Justification - Part 2

    Dear sister Lamm, they are God's people. I am but a brother in the family and not the Father. God alone can bring his children into line, not even the most powerful of bishops can do more than admonish.

    Lukewarm

    "Hearts waxed cold" refers to "hearts grown cold" the idea of "waxed" is drawn from waxing a wick by dipping it into melted wax repeatedly until the wax is thick enough to become a candle. The wax "grows" with each dip into the melted wax. Thus waxing is to grow a thing by constant exposure to...

    Please, the thread is not at fault nor is the topic a bad one the only faults can be found in a few posts written by a few individuals the rest of us need not suffer the loss of a good topic simple because a few are misbehaving in their posts.

    Justification - Part 2

    The good thing is that I am happy with what God says. I like the way he says it - A person is justified by works and not by faith alone it is reassuring that God cares about what we do as well as what we say and believe and it holds promise of good things to come both in this world and the next...

    Justification - Part 2

    Like I said, Humans need not apply You keep saying it is all God's doing. Nothing human about it. We get it. Nevertheless God keeps saying a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

    I reckon it was a Church in the Roman province of Asia like Revelation says it is. Revelation 1:4 From John, to the seven churches of Asia: receive grace and peace from him who is, who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits of God, which are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus...

    Soda or Pop?

    It's fizzy drinks, not soda (which really refers to carbonated water) nor pop (which refers to a style of modern music).

    When is our name written in the book of life?

    Lovely verses but isn't the first one applicable to the 12 disciples at the time when Jesus was still on the earth? And isn't James 2:5 about a class of people rather than about individuals? "The poor of this world" looks like a group rather than individuals as would be the case if it was...
