For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.Collosians2:17.
If the Israelis didn't break the break the law,Salvation will never be accepted.
Heb10:1

Version
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah46;10
Yes,God knows how His creation will end even before He started creation.
He knew Adam would sin from the beginning .
He even purposely gave the children of Israel His laws through Moses for them to break it.

Happy Sunday

q Where in scripture is this claim of yours from?

Where is it written that one must first be born-again before one can comprehend anything written in Scripture?

Dude rest

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ said those who are given to understanding the secrets of the Kingdom are those who use the understanding they have ---- those who use the understanding they have are given more understanding by the Father while those who do not use the understanding they have been given will have even the little they has taken from them. I guess you don't believe that at all since you think understanding belongs instead to those who are of your religion.

Guy wetin you dey write self?
If you are not born again The bible is a close book to you

Kobojunkie:

How can faith amount to the doing of honest work when you are told in Isaiah 64 vs 1 - 6 that your sins taint every one of your honest works rendering them all filthy and hence an unholy abomination to God? Faith has instead to be something else that you do in response to paying back that which you owe— your sin debt— and since sin is merely disobedience of God's commandments. It makes sense to believe that faith is that which offsets that debt aka obedience to God's literal teachings and commandments.

What one believes works for him

A parable is a statement or comment that conveys a meaning indirectly by the use of comparison, analogy, or the like. Parables typically lose their meanings when one attempts to interpret the content used in conveying the message. I read through much of your doctrinal thesis, and all I kept wondering as I did was wonder why you engage in the unnecessary when the message is made clear right in the parables. Why convolute the utterly simple things... for what purpose?

Jesus Christ told those parables in order to provide a rebuttal to the Pharisees and teachers of the Law pointed out at the beginning of the chapter.

These Pharisees and teachers of the Law were men who claimed to be knowledgable of the Law yet they looked down on the sinners in the land, thinking them worthless beings, and hence of no value to God and His Plan. This isn't the first time that Jesus Christ is recorded to have used parables to provide rebuttals to the claims made against Him by the same crew. And in almost all cases, the message of the parable is found within the story itself.

---

PARABLE #1 - The Kingdom of God aka God's special Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 - welcomes the sinners of Israel who decides to change from following his sinful ways
PARABLE #2 - The angels of God welcome a sinner of Israel who decides to change from following his old sinful ways
PARABLE #3 - A sinner of Israel who decides to change from following his sinful ways is like a son who was once lost but is now found, once dead but is now alive.
PARABLE #4 - A sinner of Israel who decides to change from following his sinful ways is like a brother who was once lost but is now found, once dead but is now alive.

By way of these 4 parables, Jesus Christ provided, for the Pharisees and teachers of the law, 4 simple reasons why He came to call to Himself the sinners of Israel and not the righteous brothers/sons of Israel.

Dude, I have heard u

[quote author=Kobojunkie post=122480161]If you pay close attention, you would find that each parable taught a different and separate lesson from the next. There is equally more than one parable contained in Matthew 13 by the way. [/quote
Still didn't answer the question

Dude, me no understand u
Did you read the OPs answer to his question??

God2man2again:
Exactly!
Jesus took the decision to die for us.
It was ordained that the son of man will
Sacrifice his life for mankind for remission of the sins of the whole world.

Yes bro

John 10:18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
The verse is self explanatory.

Goshen360, aletheia,Missy89 or Explorers.
He should pick one.

pressplay411:
It would seem Paul and James and in fact Scripture contradicts itself in this 2 books.
But I assure you they don't.

I also struggled with reconciling this too. I even backlidded before I came to understand it.

I pray the Holy Spirit unveils and gives us understanding in Jesus name.

The point Paul was making is simple, our justification is by Faith alone apart from our works.

We are already justified by our Faith.

But this is where James was addressing and which further study of the Epistles of Paul including the same Romans also corroborates-
Now that we are justified by Faith alone, what next?
What is the evidence of our justification by Faith?

It is the works that confirms/justifies that our Faith is true and genuine.

An illustration would be Abraham believed God (had Faith in God) and it was imputed to him as righteousness. He was justified by his faith alone without any works. God simply promised him and he believed. He did not have to offer any sacrifice to justify his Faith then.

But later when God had given him Isaac the Promise, God commanded him to sacrifice Isaac and He obeyed.
His Obedience to genuinely agree to sacrifice His Promised Child here being the work that justified his Faith.

In conclusion, You can have Faith absent Works.
But it is the Works that confirms the genuineness of your Faith.

Which is why James continued by illustrating that even Demons have Faith. They believe God and know how powerful God is.
But clearly works of demons are not works of righteousness.

So what type of Faith do you have? It is made evident and revealed by the Works it produces.
And as James submitted, Faith alone, without works, is truly dead.
This is why Jesus Christ cursed the Fig Tree. But that's another discussion.

Grace, Faith and Love multiplied to us all in Jesus name. Amen.

Nice one

Kobojunkie:
1. In Genesis 26 vs 5, the Almighty Himself revealed that He justified Abraham by the works Abraham did in obedience to Him. (Abraham lived his life in submission and obedience to God's laws and statutes.) Jesus Christ equally called on His followers to live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments, declaring those the traits of those who love Him and will be equally loved by His Father - John 14 vs 15 - 20 & John 15 vs 9 - 11. Jesus Christ then revealed that only those who do works of righteousness — would be rewarded with Heaven after He returns and judges the sheep and goats in His Kingdom - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 40. So, clearly, as Jesus Christ proclaimed, it is only those who stand faithful until the end — who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to God's Law and Truth — will be saved - Matthew 10 vs 22 & Matthew 24 vs 12 -13 & Mark 13 vs 13. The Faith expected of us by God is the Kind that involves the doing of works(obedience) in addition to fully trusting in Him. Any kind of faith that does not include works(obedience) is dead on arrival.

Dude please read Romans4 from verse 1-4

Kobojunkie:
UPDATE: Following the conversation that Jesus Christ had with the thief on the cross, it turns out paradise literally means the grave, and yes, the dead aren't conscious or asleep— it is written in scripture and Jesus Christ Himself confirmed this in the case of Lazarus, His friend — and so the content of Luke 16 is confirmed a parable by that. Abraham's bosom is a euphemism for the grave.

The promise that Jesus Christ made to the thief on the cross is that he, the thief, would be with Him, Jesus Christ, in paradise that same day. And we confirm from what is written Jesus Christ was in the grave that very same day and remained there for 3 days afterward. Invariably, Jesus Christ's promise to the thief was that he, the thief, would die that same day as opposed to hanging alive on the cross for many days after, which was a common occurrence for many of the victims of crucifixion back then.

LoL so paradise is liken to grave right?
