    T. Lewis The context of Corinthians Chapter 13 is that although we can do all these things tongues miracles works

    if it is not done in charity which is agapeo Love or the spiritual love of God via the spirit or pure then all these things

    profit nothing. When we do the word with a pure heart strictly service via the spirit or thinking no evil then we are

    walking in that Love of God. So you can burn yourself out in works and service but if it doesn't have that Love in it

    then we are going through natural good intentions nothing spiritual about it. There's a saying everything gives off something we should desire ro give off Gods Love.

    Hi Dawn, Don't forget the entire premise of US being grafted into the BODY of the messiah. Also we receive his blood for the remission of our sins. God Bless.

    Hi Gigi

    Thanks for your comments.

    Could you please show me in the scriptures these beliefs?

    If I got this right. The divine nature of Jesus couldn't sin.

    I don't know where in the scriptures you got this.

    Thanks

    Hello Connie,

    My interpretation of "Faith without works is dead" is what's written in scripture: James 2:1-4, James 2:5, please read all of James 2, for perspective & context. It says that faith without works is dead 3 times. Then gives examples what that is : * James 2:13-17,

    James 2:19-20,

    Notice: Isaiah 58, please read whole chapter. * Isaiah 58:6-7, James 1:23-27,

    Isaiah 58:10-12, Matthew 25:31-46, 1 Timothy 6:17-19, again read, 1Timothy 6, whole chapter. 1 Corinthians 13,

    I hope these scriptures help give you understanding to what GOD means by "Faith without out works is dead."

    Greetings,

    I have several needs, but this is the biggie:

    Haven't had steady work in decades! Haven't had any work in months (nor unemployment)!! Have had to pay my bills with the credit cards off and on for the past 2 years I owe $thousands$!! Thus, been staying with my folks for about 15 years!!! They're loving and we usually get along, but I need God to let me have a place of my own and the steady income that will provide for it!!!!

    Thank you

Let's endeavor to ensure that every request is responded to with a post that prays for the request. This way, the one who posts a request is blessed to know the request was prayed for and be encouraged and have their faith increase as we care for one another in this way.

    Jesus' human nature could be tempted. His divine nature could not be tempted to sin. He operated in both Natire's, but they were not mixed together to form another kind of nature. So He was tempted by Satan in His human nature and He resisted The devil. His divine nature cannot sin, but His human nature was capable of sinning, yet in this nature Jesus always chose God's will and never sinned. His divine nature always did the Fathet's will as they eternally have the same will, essence and plan of salvation.

    You may not believe this but it has been affirmed as orthodox teaching by the church over the centuries and anyone reading can look up The Dual Nature of Jesus to read more on this.

  • Gigi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    I agree, no matter where you are in your Christ walk, reading of His life in the gospels is always wise. He is the author and finisher of it faith (Heb.12:2)

    He is our Lord and our God

    ( John 20:28) He is the Resurrection and the Life ( John 11:25) He is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of God's Person ( Hebrews 1:3) he is worshipped by all the angels

    ( Hebrews 1:6) He is our Great God and Savior ( Titus 2:13-14) He is King of kings and Lord Of lords ( Rev. 19:16)



    And so much more. Therefore should we not have great interest and earnest desire to read of His life, words and actions from the Gospels often?

    For me, I love all sections of the Bible, but lovebtheGspels the most. It is here in the Gospels that I intake the truth of my Savior and become familiar with Him as the One I worship, adore, follow, serve, and hold out to others to come to know by faith.

    It is Jesus that we should know the most about. We should be thoroughly familiar with His life in the Gospels so that we can better understand the teachings about Hom in the Epistles, Revelation, and OT. This is why I always suggest that people wishing to know the Bible better begin with the Gospels.

    Mishael Then there's the other side of the coin, lot went out of His house to warn the rest of his family and

    even after the angels dragged them out his wife turned around because of unbelief and got the consequences of her actions. We will lead many if they are willing sheep because you will never change a goat. My sheep hear my voice

    we plant we water by only God gives the increase. Even so 2 Timothy 1-5 rings loudly.

    S Spencer,

    Truth is not complicated, nor is it disguised in fleshly wisdom of man; it is like the simplicity that is in Christ. Our faith is not in Christianity made of many denominations; our faith is in Jesus Christ, one faith, one Lord, one body. Through Jesus the Son of God, the Lamb that was sacrificed for us, we have access by one Spirit to the Father.

    Well said brother, God bless.

    Connie L Brundage Another added point on faith without works is dead. When we are born again confess Romans

    10:9+10 and believe in our hearts what we confess then we receive Holy spirit which Galatians 3:22 describes as the

    faith of Jesus Christ which is the bridge that spanned the gap between natural man and God. This his gift that being

    said we do the work of action on Gods word in our lifestyles as Jesse shared a bit to produce the affects of the gift

    on our personal lives. Fruit of he spirit Galatians 5:22 these are products that start appearing in our lives as a result

    of changing out lifestyles to spiritual thinking Gods revealed word. some of those thoughts Philippians 4:6-9, Eph. 5:1

    +2, Eph.4:21-32 their are many of these then you have lots of examples in the gospels. Good Stuff.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    John Lawrence With all due respect God is a very personal God, even the very hairs on out head are numbered,

    also morality is an organizational part of a God designed standard of living so I don't understand the statement also

    satan is the author of all confusion including not being moral. To have no morals is to state the old I'm ok and your

    ok no matter what and that IS NOT O.K. Spiritually because then you neither need God and then you can say I don't

    need Jesus Christ or Gods Word then all is Lost!

    S Spencer, great comment thank you

    As Jesus says in Matthew 18:3-7 trust and believe as a child.
  • S Spencer - 4 years ago
    One thing about Christianity is you can't carbon copy it, observation and following doesn't leads to Justification, It's what's inside that has to be renewed,

    not the doctrinal practices and rituals we focus on. We can't manifest spirituality.

    When we are born again our walk is guided by the Holyspirit,

    The Apostles walked and observed Jesus 3 years but was unable to truly follow Jesus until he sent the Holyspirit. Not only did their beliefs changed also their walk.

    It's not how much we know, winning debates, following any particular doctrine or church age that seals or confirms anything, IT'S BEING IN CHRIST WHERE IT BEGINS AND WHERE IT ENDS.

    After we have been regenerated, guidance follows and that's a work by the Spirit on your heart!! Spiritual growth begins. If there is no Spiritual growth we examine ourselves,

    We don't go after looking for sheep to follow.

    Matthew 7:15-18.

    John 15:5.

    But if there is one shepherding the Lords flock we will hear his voice.

    John 10:27.

    We don't become his sheep by following him, we follow him because we are his sheep. We hear is voice in who ever is speaking and from there we are led to green pasture.

  • Jesse - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hello Connie,

    In James Chapter 2, it tells us that faith without works is dead. Something we have to keep in mind is that there are two types of faith, human faith and spiritual faith. We cannot produce spiritual faith. The word faith used in the verse "faith without works," is talking about spiritual faith. Spiritual faith can only be produces by God's Spirit. And also, it is not human works, but God's work in our lives.

    So with this being said, if I were to tell you that I am a born again believer and that I have faith (Spiritual faith), if there is no evidence in my life that God's Spirit is working through me, my faith is a dead faith. In other words, I do not have God's Spirit living in me. It is impossible for a person who has been born of God's Spirit, to have the Spirit of God dwelling in them, and there be no fruit (Spiritual work). God's Spirit in a believer is never dormant. He is always working whether we realize it or not.

    You see, it is God's Spirit in me that produces the spiritual work in my life. My personal definition of faith would be the presence and activity of God's Spirit in a person's life. If God's Spirit is not working in a person's life, that person's faith is dead.

    I hope this makes sense? I can explain a little further is you need me to.

  • Blessing Israel Blesses America - 4 years ago
    GENESIS 12:1-3. Gods promise to USA

    We already know the Biden Administration will not only abandon Israel, but President Biden is also funding the enemy. It's an utter betrayal.

    Sign Our Petition Now. ACLJ dot ORG

    The U.N. just opened up an investigation of Israel, with accusations of apartheid. This is a brazenly false and dangerous legal attack on Israel - straight from the terrorists' playbook to destroy the only free democracy in the Middle East. We just filed a critical legal letter at the U.N. to defend Israel's interests BECAUSE PRESIDENT BIDEN WON'T. We're their last line of defense at the U.N.

    Jihadists are always poised to add rocket attacks on top of the legal attacks at a moment's notice in an effort to eviscerate Israel. Israel is always on Red Alert.

    President Biden is also illegally funneling money to Israel's enemies in direct violation of U.S. law, as the Palestinian Authority continues its "pay for slay" terrorist subsidies.

    The ACLJ has filed a critical lawsuit over President Biden's illegal anti-Israel funding, and TODAY is a critical court deadline in our case. But we need you to take action with us NOW.

    If we can remember the Obama years in office, he gave 450 billion tax dollars to Iran. Their money is still in a bank, and of course they want it back. Maybe those stories are still on Google?

    It's not right that our Government is doing this. Our country has always been Israel's friend UNTIL this past year. This guarantee's Jesus's return for Christians will be soon!

    Even the Pope said on camera, that Israel should GIVE UP ALL WEST BANK LAND for peace. This is blessing vs curses in Leviticus 26. Read those curses. It's already happening. Our shores are being invaded by foreigners (China, south border crossers, Palestinians in our Congress & smuggled in from Afghanistan. Prove this right or wrong.

  • Karen Sue - In Reply on Genesis 23 - 4 years ago
    Lauren, You said earlier there is No Fear or Condemnation in Christ Jesus so with this being said I will share with you when those thoughts come, they are from satan himself and I have learned when thoughts come I say in the name of Jesus satan you can get behind me and ask Jesus to take my thoughts captive and submit them to His word. If we do not do this immediately satan has a chance to toy with us and that's what he wants because he knows his time is short and He knows He cannot pluck us from Jesus hands.

    We Are His, I am a child and Dau of the One True King the Most High, God Almighty and His Kingdom is coming soon!!
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    S. Spencer I agree there's nothing new under the sun, when Jesus Christ walk in His ministry he never focused on what was going on around Him he preached he taught and those who believed were healed. The rest shake the dust off your

    feat and those who didn't believe he flat out said you will die in your sin or broken fellowship. Our great privilege is to

    speak the truth in Love[agapeo] either God calls them or they refuse and that's on them. Gods Word is the Honey and

    buy grace we can help take the sting of unbelief out of a few that are chosen. Just my respective.
  • Karen Sue - In Reply on Genesis 23 - 4 years ago
    Amen Lauren....We are covered by the Blood of jesus and there is No Fear or Condemnation in Christ Jesus!! Thank you
