Subject: Isn't 24 more than one? |
Bible Note: Hello Rowdy, "My whole answer in this regard is hinged on the fact nowhere in the Bible does God depict a concept of getting salvation with just simple belief without some kind of proof." This is absolutely correct, yet your definition of proof is baptism. You completely discount that James speaks of a lifestyle of good works, instead zeroing in on one specific work that must be done. It is a work that should be done, not the single most important one. Now go back to Tim's 24 verses, and get it right. Steve |
