    You need to view our lessons on Acts and Romans. Who is the one person in all of Scripture who comes with a warning he's hard to grasp? Paul. And yet, we Westerners with Greek philosophical mindsets think we know exactly what Paul is talking about when the warning was even to 1st century Jews of that culture. To add to the confusion, Greek only has one word for "Law" which means it is difficult to know what law he's talking about without a lot of context. In short, when Paul refers to such things as "works of the law" he is NOT referring to God's Law.

    Thank you. I am telling Christians this all the time, especially Protestants. The priority is on Jesus' teachings, then the Catholic/General Epistles, then Paul. Paul called himself the least of the Apostles, but Protestants put him ahead of all the Apostles and ahead of the Lord Jesus Himself. Let's keep the priorities Biblical. Peter says Paul's writings are hard on the mind and some distort them to their own destruction. #1 Jesus' teachings #2 Apostle's writings #3 Other New Testament writings #4 Paul's writings

    Context is key . It's quite clear that we are saved by Grace . The law whether it be the law of moses or the 613 or even deeds of faith , if it's not by grace you have a different Gospel.

    "One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. ..." John 14:21 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another." John 13:34 "But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves." James 1:22 By their fruits you will know them... Matthew 7:16 "... let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth" 1 John 3:18 'Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" He said to him, "...if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." He said to him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder.' 'You shall not commit adultery.' 'You shall not steal.' 'You shall not offer false testimony.' 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" Matthew 19:16-19 "Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." Galatians 6:7 "...faith apart from works is dead. James 2:26 "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up." Galatians 6:9 "For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment... How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:26-29 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished. Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 5:17-20 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 "who will pay back to everyone according to their works" Romans 2:6 "Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you." John 5:14 "They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work." Titus 1:16 'One who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.' 1 John 2:4 "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous." 1 John 5:2-3 "Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment." John 5:28-29 "For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10 '"Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Revelations 22:12-14 "Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 5:19 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 'But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."' Luke 11:28 "I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try t he heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:10 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?..." Luke 6:46 "If you love me, keep my commands" John 14:15 "You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith." James 2:24

    Repentance isn't about abolishing sin. It is about TURNING IN FAITH (an express GIFT of the Father) from when you (the redeemed believer in faith) commit sins against others and the Father to the provided SAVIOUR, JESUS for mercy and forgiveness of those sins, which your flesh and mind inflict upon your spirit.

    The problem I see is the requirement here for a *physical* baptism. I am fully on-board with a spiritual baptism that happens continually through one's life so long as they do not not outright abandon God to the point they can no longer repent. The requirement for a physical baptism ignores the situation faced by many outside the West where such a thing is simply not possible. This part of Bradford's teaching I have to currently disagree with.

    Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. If God did not promise us salvation in his son Jesus Christ, then we all die in our sins and are condemned. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. This is a promise being spoken by God through Paul that we are saved by the grace of God and this is not of yourselves which means you have no part to play in your salvation. The only thing required of you to do is to believe, hope and be patient on him fulfilling what he has promised to do which is to save you by his grace and his grace alone.

    The short answer is, no. As long as we draw breath, living in this sinful nature, we won’t, we can’t stop being sinful: it is who we are by nature. But what Christ’s work on the cross and subsequent resurrection did for us, is to declare us righteous in front of God, thus bringing us out from under the slavery to sin AND enabling us to choose Him, instead of reverting to the flesh. It is a daily struggle, because we are alive and very much tempted, but we are now made capable to live godly lives, while still in our bodies. I hope that this helps you.

    You need to know what sin is? Sin is disobeying God's instructions. His Torah. 1 John 3. We therefore need to know what that is. We hear of the 10 commandments but it's more than that. The commandments teach us how to love God and our neighbour. Faith without works is dead. You can't be saved by keeping the Torah but you follow because you are saved. It's about a relationship.

    Receiving the Holy Spirit can give you the impetus to make large strides, but overall will teach you to stop sinning and clean up your life over time as well. There are times when you will put something on God, and ask for help to stop, and it feels instantaneous, but that doesn't mean the temptation can not linger or return. I've had passages given to me in dreams, that answered prayers and questions and then had immediately had no desire to repeat that sin or issue. Acts 2:38 is key to the start(if you haven't begun there). Father bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Are you aware that Abraham wasn't circumcised until about 18 years AFTER Scripture says he believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness? Circumcision regards the covenant. Baptism was always a symbol of being cleansed. We are not saved by works, but a genuine saving faith always produces fruit - works. Hope this helps, George

    What are your thoughts on American Capital Punishment? Consider this: An immigrant comes and doesn’t know the law. He/she commits a horrendous crime, the sort that would likely result in capital punishment, since not all crimes would result in capital punishment. Would knowing the law have been a tutor of some sort? Would knowing it have saved her from capital punishment? The immigrant can keep the law mechanically and really have no sense of citizenship or patriotism. The law was never meant to save anyone in the eternal sense. Faith was always the requirement for salvation. And God’s, in his grace, made a way for imperfect man to draw near (Korban) to him through the sacrificial system. God in his grace will save us too regardless of how imperfect we are. It is faith that pleases him. Lip service is cheap. The immigrant might keep the law of America to avoid jail or prison... and the immigrant might enjoy a certain amount of protection for being a law abiding citizen. It’s the law you call when someone is breaking into your home or violated your right. It’s the judge however that can pardon you! See what I’m saying? As early as Eve there was promise of the messiah. That is what everyone looked for. The religious leaders after the second century, namely the circumcision party, are the ones who tried to turn the sign of being in covenant (citizenship) into being a sign of eternal salvation. They should not have done that. So you’re right. We have to qualify that true statement though because I’m not hearing this teacher say that keeping the law will save you. I’m not hearing from him that you have to earn or merit salvation. When a judge or a president pardons someone... do they merit that pardon? Many times they don’t. It’s grace. It’s also mercy. We all deserve death... so of course mercy and grace are at play! Obedience is the fruit and not the root of our salvation. So what does a prisoner (Excon) do when they are pardoned?

    If there is no difference, then there would be no need for Paul to declare that by the work of the law no man is justified. The word is justified by the favor of God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ and his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. I agree that the blood sacrifice was a means of grace being applied, but that has been the case throughout all of the old covenants. The Mosaic covenant is primarily a covenant of works and is clearly understood as such by the blessings and cursings. People get turned upside down about this topic because they don't understand the purposes and principles of covenant-making during the Old Covenant era. The reason Paul said that the law was passing away, was that the covenant with God through the law was no longer the means to salvation and righteousness. That is evident by Paul's prolific writing on this topic, especially in the books of Galatians and Hebrews. The books of Romans, Galatians, Colossians, and Hebrews, are specifically written for this topic. The false teaching that we have to obey the law and have faith is clearly denounced by Paul in Galatians. And his warning to the Hebrews to not return to law as a means of justification and righteousness is stated, Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. This is in the context of explaining in the previous chapters how Jesus is better than angels, Moses, the priesthood, the High Priest, and all the sacrifices. In the book of Acts, it is even more clearly spelled out. Act 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. That council in Acts 15 stated that the Gentile believers were to abstain from idols and to remember the poor. They were not given the burden of trying to obey the law to procure God's favor and salvation. Peter explicitly said this, Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. I fear that the Messianic movement is morphing into the sort of organization that said in Acts 15, "The must Keep the Law of Moses". The law of God is not a set of rules to be followed for salvation, righteousness, or favor from God. The law of God is the love of God written on the hearts of those who come to Christ by faith. That love is expressed in acts of kindness, faith, mercy, and forgiveness of sins towards the whole world. By that is the law fulfilled. It's easy to preach the law and say we must keep it in order to be pleasing to God, but without faith, God is not pleased, and faith works by the love of God in the heart of humanity submitted to the gospel and lordship of Jesus Christ. For by the deeds of the law shall no man be justified. For ye are saved by grace, through faith.

    You cannot actively turn from your sin first unless you accept Jesus admitting that you are a sinner being present time, then once you 1st heard the truth, and when you believe, the action is accepting Jesus Christ for who HE is and what HE did, and then we receive the Holy Spirit who in turn teaches us and speaks to us, and the more we seek God he come near and when we spend more time with God and remember him daily the stronger we become and are able to see the Love of God which has set us free and therefore we are able to turn from sin because it has no power over us period. The more we say no to the world and the flesh the more powerful we are through the love of Jesus to became a new creation daily. You need to take ‘tis video down as you are speaking a different Gospel and it is against what Jesus did. He not one time said to anyone he healed, and forgave them of their sins to first stop sinning. Christ is the example so stick to what he did and do not try to adjust it to met your understanding and standards, His ways are not our ways, and we cannot fathom to understand our Lord, our only God Elohim. I do like your teaching so far on a video or two but you are way off on this and its is not an area you want to be off on since Christ said that if you take up teaching you are held to a higher standard.

    The Apostle John says without ambiguity that your sins will not be cleansed unless you first start walking in the light again. " 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." If you do not repent, your sins will not be forgiven. In Acts 2:37-38 the listeners were first cut to the heart. They were ready to repent, but they did not know what to do. Peter said that they must FIRST repent and be baptized and THEN they would receive remission of sins. "37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [k]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”" [NKJV] Acts 2 You are just parroting what you've read in materials from the Christian bookstores and from the pulpits of the businesses that masquerade as "churches" and from the mouths of the apostles of Calvin who preach the reductionist gospel of Calvin. Return to the Lord Jesus Christ, sit at his feet, throw out the words of men and listen to Jesus preach HIS Gospel anew to your heart. And accept WHATEVER He says as Gospel truth, in spite of the corrupt teachings of men that you've heard for decades. You know them by their fruit. Their fruit is disobedience and they approve of it in others and teach disobedience as a daily way of life. Does this sound like the truth of God to you? Do you not recognize the fruit of disobedience that is useless in prayer, as well in their works for the LORD? The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective, yet if the man is sinning daily then where is the righteousness? You say it comes from Christ? You are right, but it is not imputed. 1 John 3:5-7 says, "5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous." [NKJV] Jesus cleanses you from your sin so that you may then do what is right starting from a clean start. If you do not do what is right you will AGAIN not be righteous. He gives you a righteous state by cleansing you, but if you do not do what is right you will again not be righteous. John even warns to not be deceived, but it seems you are deceived in exactly the way John said not to be. So now that you have been warned, if you reject these words, you reject God, not man. If you do not return to Christ to learn anew HIS Gospel, then you will perish. This may be your last warning from the LORD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    When are people going to figure out that there are two types of sons in Israel. Those that are predestined by election that are servants and lambs of sacrifice for others also known as the bridegroom. There are the sons of grace that are grafted into Israel because of they're faith in following the God of Abraham. The type is clearly shown in the OT. Israel + the gentile stranger that lives among israelires that are given the same inheritance. All must live according to the new covenant of obedience and repentance to Gods laws minus the rituals. I hear people arguing over which doctrine is correct all the time. They are both correct. There are two sons. They are joined together as one and no one knows who is who as its completely spiritual. The only difference is the elect sons rise first and are not deceived by the false christ of Rome. The son by grace will be conformed to the image of the elect son.

    The comments were disabled for the video about Ham and Noah, so I'm commenting here. My guess is because you were so wrong in your video. You should remove it from KZread because it is bad information for people who are trying to learn the Bible. I haven't watched any of your other videos but if they are as bad as that one you should stop teaching.

    Faye, I have watched ALL of Toms Videos, most of them twice. Some 300 teachings. There have been two times that His teaching was different than my understanding, but my understanding had come from extra biblical sources, not Tanak scripture. Tom sticks with scripture and so I respect that. These few differences are of no consequence. Just as the story of Noah and Ham is of no great consequence to our sanctification and repentance. Toms teaching on the Books of Moses are so eye opening and thought provoking. You really see Holy Scripture through the eyes of the Hebrew writers. Please give his teachings another chance. I know you will blessed by it. His heart is pure and it shows. We will not agree on everything in the Bible, because we are not told everything and people will fill in the blanks or read other information that seems to fill in the blanks. Please do not judge the body of teaching on this one matter. On Seed of Abraham Ministry web page, TorahClass.com. - there is a link to teachings on every chapter of the Torah (Bks of Moses) These are in depth 50 min teachings by chapter. Not just 5/7 min clips. So like I said, I and my husband have been doing Bible Study with Mr. Bradford for at least 3 years, and out of all we have learned, only have we run across 2 alternate understandings from non Biblical sources. Thats a Great record and witness to Toms commitment of bringing the truth to us. Shalom

    Elizabeth Ann, Keeping the Old covenant law is not how we come to salvation. In fact, Paul said keeping the law will cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6). We are to bear fruit of the Spirit (Matthew 7:16-20) which can only be done through Christ (John 15:5). Once we have the Spirit we no longer need the law because the Spirit gives life, but the law is only a ministration of death that kills and condemns (2 Corinthians 3:6-17). "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23

    The Clockmaker. The commands of THE LORD YESHUA (ie jesus) are mostly found in matthew chapters 5-7 but with some other passages in the gospels and examples are : "love and do good to and greet your enemies and those who do evil to you", "give to every who asks", "forgive everyone or you won't be forgiven", "do charitable deeds to the needy without anyone knowing about it", and so on. And THE LORD YESHUA also said those who are truly MY disciples and friends are those who know MY commandments and do them regularly. Also by finding that we naturally do these commands of THE LORD YESHUA prove that we really do love HIM and have indeed be given a NEW NATURE as a now born again believer and as the apostle James said "faith without works is dead". hope this is encouraging and edifying to you and may be blessed by this.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

    Faith does not save you, according to the Scriptures themselves. Faith without actions is dead. [James] Even the demons have faith and shiver in fear! Or are you ignorant of the Scriptures? Paul in Ephesians 2 says that we are in grace and saved through faith AND the works God has laid out for us in advance, NOT by our own works. Jesus tells the prophecy against future Christians who He will disavow as evil doers and that He has never known them, because they did not PLEASE the Father. Parable after parable the people are condemned or saved by what they do or do not do. Parable of the talents: the one who hid his investment from the Lord was called wicked and lazy, though he was a believer entrusted with this from the Lord. He was damned to the outer darkness with the unbelievers. Those who did not give water to the thirsty or visit the sick in prison were sent to damnation for what they did not do. The list goes on and on. Peter says clearly what the people MUST do, when they respond to the Gospel message of the Apostle. We are told in John 3 that we are saved by water and spirit. So if water baptism is unnecessary, then you call our Lord Jesus and the Apostle Peter liars.

    Faith initiates and carries through, but it is not alone. You will not have remission of sins without repentance and baptism in water and without the remission of sins you will not receive the Holy Spirit. It is the declaration of the LORD's Testimony through the mouth of Peter the Apostle at Pentecost: "37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [k]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”" [NKJV] Acts 2 You are clearly parroting the words of man in the folly of the intelligence of men. Repent of your foolishness and believe God's Testimony or you will perish.

    I would think apostle Paul knew the Torah better than this gentleman. He also knew the covenant of promise better than this gentleman. Galatians 4:21-26,28,30 KJVS Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. Genesis 21:12 KJVS And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

    The difference is the works of Faith, but not the works of the law (Romans 3:21-28). Christ said we must bear fruit of the Spirit for salvation (Matthew 7:16-20) which can only be done through Him (John 15:5).

Galatians 5:22-23 Trying to keep the Old covenant law will cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6) because the law is not of Faith (Galatians 3:12) and voids Faith (Romans 4:13-14). The strength of sin is by the law (1 Corinthians 15:56) and stimulates sin (Romans 5:20, 7:5-12). This is why the apostles opposed keeping the law (Acts 15:5-29).

    You need to view our lessons on Acts and Romans. Who is the one person in all of Scripture who comes with a warning he's hard to grasp? Paul. And yet, we Westerners with Greek philosophical mindsets think we know exactly what Paul is talking about when the warning was even to 1st century Jews of that culture. In short, when Paul refers to such things as "works of the law" he is NOT referring to God's Law.

    “Works of the law” was the closest thing to the word LEGALISM. Here’s the idea: Halakha was a groups particular way of walking. Ie Baptist, Messianic, Catholic, 2nd Church of Christ, etc etc. To say to any new convert that you must walk that particular way was wrong. It was wrong then and it’s wrong today. Instead the message is, you come as you are, like Ruth and others, and you follow and learn as you go. You don’t come as you are and then stay as you are. That was never in the New Testament authors view. You can see that clearly when we read scripture in context. But to take the whole body of biblical doctrine (and even the whole body of extra-biblical commandments and traditions) and impose them on anyone, was an unbearable burden, but it was also not the prescription for salvation. Faith is what please God. “The law” of God given to Moses is not the same phrase as “the works of the law.” The works of the law is halakha. That’s sort of like ‘rite of passage’ or Frat house hazing. That’s like saying you aren’t a Marine until you pass Marine bootcamp. That like the circumcision party saying you aren’t grafted in unto salvation in unless you get circumcised. It was a sign of being in covenant but the sign had become more than just a sign. Paul is not saying good works are bad. He is also not saying the law of God is sin. He is not saying that you graduate from bootcamp and then go into a combat situation and forget everything you were taught in bootcamp by the tutor. Basically he is saying the legalism, mechanically performing a set of sectarian actions, do not produce salvific faith. He is also not promoting, on the other hand, that believers would be lawless.

    Martin Luther the founder of Bible only believing Christians was the one who came up with the false assumption that Faith in Christ only will save you. In fact he believed that so much that he even told his followers "If you are going to sin, sin boldly" What was the first requirement that he mentioned here, Turn away from sin. Now every Christian should know that the works of the Old Testament became null and void when Jesus died on the cross. Mark 15:38 "And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom" But what about the Apostle of Jesus, James? Yes James the book of the bible that Mr. Luther wanted to take out of the bible because he thought it was a book of straw. By the way that is the one book of the New Testament that protestants never quote from. And why did he think that? I refer you to the book of James, the whole 2nd chapter. Now keep in mind James was one of Jesus' Apostles. (already a believer)

    ant240 Not sure where you get the ridiculous idea that Protestants don’t quote from the book of James. Reading James just now, I’m reminded of many many sermons on James I’ve heard by Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist preachers. John MacArthur wrote a 320 page commentary on this book. J. Vernon McGee did a chapter by chapter study of James (and all 66 books of the Bible). Les Feldick did a very intense study of the book of James. Protestants do not ignore any book, chapter or verse of God’s word. You may not agree with our interpretation but we read, study and meditate on the whole Bible. Blessings to you from our LORD Jesus.

    Grace in the OT God’s grace infuses Noah’s Story. “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Gen 6:8). God’s grace endures in spite of Abraham and Sarah’s unbelief. “And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 12:3b). God’s grace for Joseph gave him strength to persevere. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good” (Gen 50:20). The Israelites repeatedly rebelled against God, yet He graciously rescued them. “And he could bear Israel’s misery no longer (Judges 10:16).” Rahab bravely asked God to save her (in spite of her past sins) and He did! “The Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below (Josh. 2:11b).” David lusted, stole, fornicated, lied, and killed-yet God saw his heart and loved him. “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin (Ps. 51:1)”

    Repentance means turn from something to something…unbelief to belief. God repented more than anyone in the Bible. God repented more than anyone in the Bible God is perfect. In Jonah it says that repentance is work in exodus it says the Hebrews don’t repent and turn back to go back into Egypt. I didn’t see the guy on the cross with Jesus do anything but say Lord remember me when thou enter your kingdom?? John 3:16 says anyone who believes is saved…no works but believe. God says in the Old Testament it’s because of their unbelief they failed God. Then u say it’s not works but u better repent u better be baptized u better do good things go to church…YES we should all do theses things everyday but not for salvation. You confuse the things of doing good that are right for the LOVE of God because of salvation and turn it into a WORK or your not saved. CRAP CRAP reason why the pharisees was condemned because of unbelief .
