Admin	Whatever is not of faith is sin: Posted : 13 May, 2011 06:24 AM Faith has to be the most understood teaching in the bible, and the ignorance of it, is what normally produces the post we see on this forum, it is not just the ignorance bur the unwillingness of a few that control it for the majority of the board. No one can be saved without faith, should we not want to learn it so that we can better be equipped to help others? It is often said that faith is a gift on this site and that would be okay if you consider everything in this life a gift, and in a sense most of what we have is given to us from God but it is not considered to be a gift, and if we say it is a gift it is error and irresponsible and brings confusion. Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God, do you know that faith is proof of the bible and without it you can not please God. Here is a simple example: every word of God is a seed and the seed has all it needs to produce itself in the heart of man if taken according to instruction and it is not necessary to understand faith to exercise it. Jn 3:16 and 17, 18: JN 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This context gives man faith to be saved very simple and the acting in accordance to the word of God is faith in action thus in this case the new birth, it is very simple. It is impossible for God to lie and every seed of God produces after it's own kind. Read, study, meditate on the parable of the sower Jesus tells you how faith starts in the heart of man. Man is born again by the incorruptible seed the word of God: 1st peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 1st peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Mt 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Mt 13:15 For this people�s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Thank you Lord that I have been released from the law, and by the blood of Your son, have right standing with you. Post Reply
