That's true.

A verse told us not to judge.

Itzmoneyman1:
"for Everyone Has Sinned, And Fall Short Of The Glory Of God" ( Romans 3 : 23)

"if We Say We Have Not Sinned We Make Him (God) A Liar, And His Word Is Not In Us" (1 John 1:10)


From The Above Verses We Can See That Everybody Was Born In Sin And Commits Sin During Their Lifetime, But Yet The Catholic Church Say's That Mary Was Born Without Sin And No Bibilical Backing.

So It Begs The Question;
Is The Virgin Mary Truely Immaculate? If No, What Happens To Those That Worship And Honour Her?

InsanePsycho:
Better to be sane than be a Christian is what I say

That's like saying better be sane than wise and sane. I think you are mixing up gullible people with Christians. Even at that, no matter how gullible someone is I won't call them insane, preferably vain and deceived.

What an insult by his members.
Why won't he reject it? Is it not his mates that their members are buying private jet for upandan?

Tithing is so controversial.....when we all get to heaven,...we go know the truth

frank317:
What are u saying?
Are u not the ones rubbing the power of ur God on our faces? Does God not heal without the use of medicine again? According to u guys, God has been in the business of healing people from madness, fibroids, headache, blonde etc... Now he didn't heal this one, he is suddenly not meant to heal by has ordained medicine for man...

Face it, the woman believed in God and he failed her, period.

Good news is not prosperity, it's salvation....... The good news is '' Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand ''.

The good news is Jesus died for sinners 2Corinthians 5:21

We are saved by grace through faith(not alone). Not by works( works alone) so that no man will boast.
We are created in Christ for GOOD WORKS. Which God has prepared so that we will walk in them Eph 2:8-10

What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says He has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
James 2:14
So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
James 2:17

But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
James 2:18

Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?
James 2:20

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when He offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
James 2:21

You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,
James 2:22

You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
James 2:24

Scriptures are to be in harmony right? They can't contradict. From Genesis down to the apostles we are told that Abraham was made righteous by faith and the epistles have these almost on all pages confirming that men are made righteous by faith.

So why is James saying men are justified by faith and works and not faith alone like the other scriptures? Are we dishonest men and women? If not let us face this squarely. No scripture contradicts another but when we come across one that seems to contradict ( because of our misunderstanding) we must interpret contextually.

James started thus in 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory with respect of persons. Apart from stating that the faith of Jesus
does not discriminate against persons, James is bringing to our notice something profound which many ignore which is that the faith we preach is alive and bears fruits. And one of the fruits it does not bear is discrimination. Did you see that?

James is saying if you have the faith of Christ prove it through your works because even the devil believes that there is God. Anybody can claim they have faith but there is only one faith that bears fruits. That is the faith of Jesus, the faith we preach. If you claim to have the faith of Christ and it does not bear fruits/good works in you then your faith is not of Christ but a dead faith.

Can this dead faith save a man? No
Which faith saves? The faith that produces works. If it does not produce works or bears fruits that faith is not alive and cannot save.

vs 14 What does it profit my brethren, though a man say he hath faith and hath no works? can faith save him?

James is saying "in scriptural harmony" that how can a man say he has faith but yet we can't see goodworks or changes in him. It means that man has another faith which cannot save. This faith is a dead one.

vs 17 Even so faith if it hath no works, is dead, being alone.

yeah this
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them
There are quite a number of things to note here. Foremost is believers are God's workmanship. This implies that we are God's skilled work. God is moulding us into what He wants us to become even without our say. He foreordained bearing fruits of holiness through us, His handiwork. So every good works in a believer's life are as a result of the inner workings of God in him or her. Philippians 2:12,13

UNTO GOOD WORKS. if we don't show good works then our faith is not rooted in Christ but is dead.

Abraham's obedience to offer Isaac upon the altar was the evidence of his faith in God. He wasn't justified by works before God but before men. But he was justified by faith alone before God who searches the hearts unlike men who judge from the outside.
Only God can see faith in us but men need to see our works to confirm our faith.

Works fulfil(show perfectly) faith. This is like saying the bearing of fruits shows seeds beneath the ground we can't see.

vs 21,22,23 Was not Abraham our father justified by works. when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
See thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God and it was inputted unto him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God

Whenever there's any case concerning God and His Prophets, it's better not to interfere for one's own good lest you say things you know nothing about all in the name of "making sense" or "opening the eyes of people". Do not make yourself Judge over such matters.... Judgment is of the Lord's.... If God's prophet airs, let God Judge him/her in His own way.... He doesn't need humans to help Him do what He does best..... If you think I'm lying, read about Aaron and Miriam's Punishment for speaking against Moses. (Numbers 12: 1- end)..... Shalom!!!!

Yes, I accept the fact she didn't know any man b4 she conceived Lord Jesus, but she fought for her salvation, she's just like u and I, the only reason she's being recognized is because she conceived the son of God, infact in the Bible, don't worship any false image, all these statues I see up and down, Mary's statue, Jesus' statue, the crucifix we hang on our necks, do not worship any at all, kneel down and pray, commune with God, see let me tell u, if u sleep with a bible on ur chest,thinking " o nothing will happen " I bet u, the demons will shift the book and do to u whatever pleases them, it is only when u speak the word of God with faith that it becomes a two edged sword and it causes commotion and earthquake in Hell! Thank you
