1 | The meaning behind James 2:14 | James 2:14 | inmyheart | 166134 | ||
Here is a commentary: *The demonstration of a living faith in acts of love 1. (14) The principle established: true faith will have works with it. a. James thinks it impossible that someone can genuinely have saving faith with no works; but one can say he has faith, but show forth no good works - can that kind of faith save him? b. These were Jewish Christians who discovered the glory of salvation by faith; but now, having been freed from works-righteousness, they have gone to the extreme of thinking that there is no need for works at all. c. James does not contradict Paul, who insisted that we are saved not of works (Ephesians 2:9); James merely clarifies for us the kind of faith that saves - we are saved by faith, not works, but saving faith will have works that accompany it. i. Paul also understood the necessity of works in proving the character of our faith; For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10); This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. (Titus 3:8) d. "But James has quite another thing in view, even to shew that he who professes that he has faith, must prove the reality of his faith by his works. Doubtless James did not mean to teach us here the ground on which our hope of salvation ought to rest; and it is this alone that Paul dwells upon." (Calvin) i. As the saying goes: faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone. * Commentary from Blue Letter Bible |

4 | did Jesus have time to do what he wanted | Luke 9:11 | inmyheart | 163418 | ||
Jesus only did what His Father sent Him to do! Jhn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. Jhn 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Praise God, we all should be about our Father's business, giving Him the Honor. God Blessings to you! inmyheart |

6 | Saved but not living for God? | Matt 6:33 | inmyheart | 163413 | ||
If you have been saved, why would a person go live in the world, but the word says; Mat 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? Mat 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. My friend, whoever you are speaking of, God has given us promises that He will not leave us nor foresake us. As you know the things in the world are not everlasting, the backslider is missing the peace of mind, entering the rest of God, the provisions of life, and not to mention the testimony that of a persons life, reflecting the image of God, that the world is hungry for. God bless you and thank you for the question. inmyheart |

7 | could this woman of contentions be a ch | Prov 25:24 | inmyheart | 163165 | ||
It's my understanding that the man (or Woman) should have known what he/she was getting into before the two married. All marriages have their moments, but they are working on resolving issues. but the contentious man or woman, is not so, therefore, a person should not be unequally yoked (2Cor.6:14). It is not to say that the woman may be in a early maturing stage, and down the road the relationship will get better. inmyheart Mat. 19:26 |

10 | Trying to go straight | Rom 12:2 | inmyheart | 162782 | ||
Romans 12:2 says do not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. It's a day by day process, the more we read God's Word the more we understand what His good, acceptable and perfect will for our lives should be. God understands your needs and He is always waiting to hear from you, so make your requests be known to Him. The day will come, my friend, that you will have new thoughts, and you will think on them, as it is written in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, THINK on these things. (KJV) Thank you for being open and honest about your situation and no matter if your sin was trying to be too good or if you were a hopeless addict, God can and will turn your situation around, He has that much grace and love, and He loves you may friend. God bless inmyheart |

11 | Verses for dealing with a childs illness | Bible general Archive 3 | inmyheart | 162330 | ||
Greetings, Welcome to this site. There are many verses in the four gospels that relate to healing, but God assures us that He is the Healer. God wants you to trust in Him and not to worry over your daughter. You stated that "God is looking over her" if you believe that then your soul is at rest, rest from worry, anxiety and stress. God's way's are not our ways and the paradox of life is, "if we keep our life, we will lose it, and if we lose our life for his sake, then we will find it." My friend there is strength in prayer, and I will link my faith with yours and pray for your daughters recovery. God bless you and you are really in Good Hands. inmyheart |

12 | Where is Abraham's test of faith? | Genesis | inmyheart | 162277 | ||
Let me see if I can put this another way for you to understand. Let's assume you go to the store and buy a light bulb, you get home and put it in your lamp, how do you know it's going to work? Well, before you bought the bulb the manufacturer tested it to make sure it would work! God, The Manufacturer, put a measure of faith in every man, God knows it works, and for man to know it works, God will test it. That's about it, I pray that all the information that you have received will bring the revelation you are looking for, and if you are still not sure, just meditate on it for awhile, it will come! How did you know you were going to be saved? By faith! God bless inmyheart |

13 | contradiction? | Genesis | inmyheart | 162145 | ||
Rats Feet, Make no mistake, he KNEW! Let's put it this way, God didn't just come up to Abraham one day and ask him to sacrifice his son, no, God demonstrated that Abraham could trust Him. If God could cause Abraham and Sara to have a baby in their nineties, then Abraham could trust God to provide a sacrafice. Abraham did not stagger at the promises of God. God bless inmyheart |

15 | God sanctions murder of the innocent? | Genesis | inmyheart | 161856 | ||
Hello, You stated in the last part of your post "People can argue that God really didn't mean for Abraham to kill Isaac, yet obviously Abraham killing Isaac would have been the right thing to do, so there is no difference." The difference is Abraham knew God would not kill his son, God is not a murderer. That's why he told the men that were traveling with him to wait for him, Gen 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you." Abraham did not say "we may or may not return!" God bless inmyheart |

16 | Beleiving and Knowing | 1 Cor 1:21 | inmyheart | 161137 | ||
Life and Death! 1 Corinthians 1:21 (New King James Version) For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not "know" God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who "believe." I knew there was a Christ, but I didn't know Him until I believed in Him. We are not knowers (is that a word), we are believers. inmyheart |

17 | Sexual Sin Follow up | Gen 2:18 | inmyheart | 161123 | ||
What's that term they use today, hooking-up! Where you do everything but have intercourse. My friend instead of you and your girlfriend trying to see how close you get to the actuall act, why don't you see how close you can get to God. If you do more of the "do's" you will not hve to worry about the "don'ts". Even Paul stated that he wished that all men were like him, but if you must marry then do so. If you are honest about your relationship then you and your girlfriend should get counseling, because this is not just about you, it's also about her. But thank you for being transparent and believe me you are not alone, there are many who are and have and will be in your shoes, and God is not up there with a bat ready to clobber you over your head, He loves you, and He allowed you to come to this site to get your answers, now it's up to you, choose to live! God bless, inmyheart |

18 | Is belief in the bible needed to be save | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 160839 | ||
2 Timothy is speaking of the last times, that there would be perilous times and how men would act out, but 2 Tim. 3:5 says "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." I might add, you have a way of stirring up the nest. Peace inmyheart |

20 | 1Pe 3:6 "...and do not give way to fear" | 1 Pet 3:6 | inmyheart | 154444 | ||
The last part of 1Pe 3:6 states in the KJV...and not afraid with any amazement. The essential characteristic of Generalized Anxiety Disorder is excessive uncontrollable worry about everyday things. This constant worry affects daily functioning and can cause physical symptoms. V.5 speaks of women in the old testment days of "trusting God"...SOoo...if we are trusting God what are we to worry or fear about? I'm not a qualified Doctor to give you the advice you seek, but I do know you are not alone. Connect with other Christians who have and are struggling with anxiety and build that support group...Romans 12:2 says that we are not to be conformed or pressured into or squeezed into this worlds pattern of thinking, but rather we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Our souls have been elevated to a higher standard of living, but our MINDS are in the process of being renewed to that higher standard of living, day by day. God's Kingdom system of living is powerful to overcome and have breakthrough. And then we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God is for our lives. Grace plus Truth equals accountability and responsibility and fault and blame leads to shame. God loves you just as you and your wife are, but loves you too much to keep you the same way you are. Thank you for letting me share and I pray for the breakthrough you seek. Peace inmyheart |
