1 | Please explain James 3:2 | James 3:2 | dat | 87738 | ||
James 3:1 says, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." James 3:2 says, "For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well". It is actually saying the opposite. He is saying that we aren't perfect and that those who teach will be under stricter judgement if they sin, but we all sin. Fortunately, Jesus took all of our sins upon himself so that we wouldn't have to pay the price of eternal damnation. | ||||||
2 | How do I answer them? | Bible general Archive 1 | dat | 83981 | ||
Yes, we are saved by faith, but it also requires that we ask God into our hearts and repent of our sinful ways. It says that faith without works is dead. I believe that to mean that after you have accepted Jesus and asked him into your life, that you become saved. In turn, when you repent and start to follow in Jesus' footsteps, you will do good works because your "nature" will change. Just because you believe in your head doesn't mean you are saved and go to Heaven. It says in the bible that even the demons believe... However, they aren't going to Heaven. Continue in the word of God and you will see the differences between having faith and a relationship with God instead of just "head" knowledge. Dat | ||||||
3 | BEING BORN AGAIN ?? | Luke | dat | 78568 | ||
I believe that when you read or hear the word of God and discover its truth, you make a decision to accept or deny Jesus. If you ask Jesus to come into your heart and confess that you are a sinner, you will receive the Holy Spirit. Going to church, being a good person, or even being baptised doesn't mean you are saved...having a personal relationship with God and continuing to do so is what is important. dat | ||||||
