There is not any dispute between Paul and James. Paul used the word "faith" for salvation, while James used good works as a witness of faith. You can not...

I have heard others say that also, Donna. I believe it comes from 2 Peter 1:20, but verse 21 clarifies what Peter is actually saying: 2 Peter 1:20-21...

The death sentence given to Adam (humanity) was more about spiritual death (separation from God) than about our physical death. Man was not destined to...

Thanks for your comment, Jennifer! I appreciate your understanding of 1 Cor 13:10. We are certainly in disagreement. I understand our "spiritual blessings"...

The "Perfect" in 1 Cor 13:10 is not scripture, but the world to come where we see Jesus face to face. And Paul himself often spread the gospel accompanied by...

Hello Julie Favazza! I respectfully show that Peter was speaking to Israel in Acts (exception of Cornelius). We Gentiles at that time were without God until...

But God's mercy is taught by many in the Christian faith as if it has a limit. They teach that God's wrath is the result of his mercy being rejected, as if...

So, we will have been HARDENED so greatly by our salvation that even seeing our mom cast into hell won't soften our hearts? You say 'we will agree' with that...
