Did I say Paul was my or any other Christian's God? Absolutely, not! So are you saying God did not give the words of the Bible to the those that wrote it? I serve one God. That's the Heavenly Father &&&&&&
Christian take Paul's letters twist them to create the Christianity other than trusting in Jesus as Savior. Show were Jesus spoke about Grace saving someone rather than Faith.
ashehikingmom.....you can't get a fool to understand...mhj just expresses his foolishness daily. It's best to ignore him like many others have. He will give an account for what his is doing one day.

Look to Jesus for your Salvation not Pauls letters that Christianity uses to Deceive.
According to scripture, Jesus healed people who expressed faith in him, and sometimes emphasized the condition of their hearts. For example, Jesus told a blind beggar, "Your faith has made you well" in Luke 18:42, and a penitent prostitute, "Your faith has saved you" in Luke 7:50. Jesus also healed a paralyzed man after seeing the faithfulness of the men who lowered him down to Jesus through the roof.
2-3 Here's how we can be sure that we know God in the right way: Keep his commandments. 4-6 If someone claims, "I know him well!" but doesn't keep his commandments, he's obviously a liar. His life doesn't match his words. But the one who keeps God's word is the person in whom we see God's mature love. This is the only way to be sure we're in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.
7-8 My dear friends, I'm not writing anything new here. This is the oldest commandment in the book, and you've known it from day one. It's always been implicit in the Message you've heard. On the other hand, perhaps it is new, freshly minted as it is in both Christ and you-the darkness fading away and the True Light already blazing!
9-11 Anyone who claims to live in God's light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark. It's the person who loves brother and sister who dwells in God's light and doesn't block the light from others. But whoever hates is still in the dark, stumbles around in the dark, doesn't know which end is up, blinded by the darkness.
Who is the author of the Bible? God is! Who gave Paul and the others the words to write &&&&&&
Jesus is speaking for the Father. Everything that the Father have us to know he told us and then said if you needed more answers he would send to you the Holy Spirit. Period. Paul is the Holy Spirit. Paul a preacher not Jesus so if you make a preacher of God your God you loose. Who else are you going follow to keep traditions of the CATHOLICS Christian pagan religion. You twist Pauls letter to misinterprete says something Evil Grace COMES from FAITH.
Who is the author of the Bible? God is! Who gave Paul and the others the words to write? That's right God did! Without the grace of God there would be no faith. God was gracious to send Jesus to the cross. Jesus was gracious enough not to call upon the Father to stop His death. Christians have faith in Jesus. They have faith He will return. They have faith He saves people from the eternal fires of h3!!! We also believe in the grace of God!! He loves all He created because He is gracious. No not everyone will enter into Heaven. However, you do not know who those will be! You are condemning others as if you are the Lord Almighty! All you want to worry about is if we are not working on Saturday. I don't think there was a wall calendar, much any real calendar 2000 years ago. So tell us why you think the Sabbath most absolutely is Saturday? God's timing is not the same as man's timing. Unless you were abiding in Heaven when God decided to create the heavens and the earth you don't know how long His days, months or years are. I know that Jesus died for me and I know He is my Lord and Savior! Do you know that is true for you?
Since your clergy decided to take One verse of Paul's letters and twist it to erase the FAITH that is required to be SAVED. Listen to what else Paul says..
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Since you Christians have chosen Paul as your teacher instead of Jesus listen up
Titus 2:11-14 New International Version 11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
God Grace is Free because Jesus paid the price. Do you have Faith enough in God to keep him in your Heart.
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to Go
That's right THROUGH FAITH. Without FAITH you can't receive grace. Don't allow the twisting of Paul letter to lead you from God because you was Baptized into his family. Put Jesus in your Life don't allow Satan to Rule you.
Matthew 12:43-45 King James Version 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
God's Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone.
Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ.
How can you allow Satan into your heart if you confess Jesus is the Savior.
Romans 6 The Message When Death Becomes Life 6 1-3 So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we've left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace-a new life in a new land!
3-5 That's what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we're going in our new grace-sovereign country.
6-11 Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life-no longer captive to sin's demands! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ's sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection. We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word. When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us. From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That's what Jesus did.
12-14 That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day. Don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time-remember, you've been raised from the dead!-into God's way of doing things. Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God.
