    James teaches that Abraham's faith that Paul taught about in Romans chapter four is the same faith that the Holy Spirit inspired him to write about and both he and Paul teach that biblical faith is a working faith.

    Is Faith A Force, Tool, Power, Or?

Conversely, it is believed that if a person is not healed or has little money, they lack in personal faith. Most believe ...read more

    James 2:14-17 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but ...read more

It is disturbing because people feel they can control it. These kinds of choices have consequences and things like Demons are real and not to ...read more
