I don't care how many translations you put up, that verse still will not say what you want it to. You're trying to force your understanding of the word "IT". Do you know how to diagram a sentence. If so, you should notice that grace and faith are both objects of a preposition and cannot...

Maybe if I make it real obvious, you won't laugh. Your statement in red is incorrect. There is an answer that is neither "He gives the faith" or "faith would be something we have to come up with ourselves". Both your possibilities are incorrect. Try again. I'll wait.

No, Paul is talking about being baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ. It's a spiritual baptism because we are a spiritual people. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to...

Getting water baptized is a work. Turning from sin is a work. In fact, you've got your work cut out for you. What about your present sins? What happens if you don't remain faithful unto death?

You should listen to what Derf says, instead of brushing it aside. Eternal life is the gift being spoken of in Eph. 2. If you don't get that part, you won't get the rest.

No, faith is not something we come up with ourselves. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17

No, that faith is not a gift of God. Salvation is the gift when we put our faith in the blood (Grace). Saved by the blood through faith. Saved by Grace through faith. The gift of God is eternal life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through...

Nope. Believing is something that happens to us when we are presented with truth. If I look outside and see it's raining....thus believing it's raining....is that something I do? Of course not.

You're talking about this question? Seriously? "I have a question about that. If Revelation is for believing Jews only, if it was written to believing Jews only----as has been said by some----why is that book in our Bible? I guess I would have the same question about Matthew, Mark, Luke, John...

Yep, Israel's kingdom will finally come. Really? The ONLY time this is going to happen is when Jesus is ruling on the earth. In fact, it can't happen now because there are too many evil people who would run us into the ground. Matt. 5: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but...

Makes sense to me. Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

If we didn't have Genesis, we wouldn't know about Creation....every book of the Bible is written for us. Not every book is written to us. It wouldn't be the Bible if we didn't know what God has been doing from the beginning. Of course the Gospels are in the Bible because we can see Jesus...

How long are you going to remain under the law?

Saved by grace through faith. There is nothing else required for salvation in this day and age. It's very important to figure out what dispensation you're in. If you say Christ is IN YOU, then you contributed nothing to your salvation. You merely believed the Gospel. If you claim "so many...

Do you really think this sounds like it's talking about works of the law? Remember, Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. 2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ...

No, those are not what Paul considered works. Works are anything we do in our body. Even any good works....they do not count for salvation. You just can't DO what only Jesus did on the Cross. You're confusing works for salvation and works that may come after salvation, and those works can't...

Do you realize that every single false religion in the world believes man has to do something to earn his salvation? After the cross, Grace came and salvation is a gift....freely given and must be freely received. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life...

The nations (unbelievers) will be living under the King of Kings. This is where the turn the other cheek stuff comes in. I think all believers will be in heaven, unless you're talking about the new heavens and new earth.

I'm thinking this is more than just the blindness of Israel.....the fulness of the Gentiles sure sounds like the end of something. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is...

I like the idea that a door was opened in heaven. I hadn't really noticed that before.
