I've been having a heated discussion with a fellow church member about the differences between James and Paul. How James was under a different dispensation than Paul, my friend can't buy that. I was wondering what scriptures I could show him that would back up my argument? I tried to explain how James was a legalist, that his teaching was faith plus works for salvation, and Paul's teaching is Faith. Can you help?
I was reading 1 Timothy 5:9 and was wondering how many years are threescore years and does this passage mean the church is not responsible for widows until this age?
Can you show me the biblical position on the local church supporting a widow (indeed)? How the widow indeed definition works and where the example is given of the deacons being charged with assisting the bishop in the administration and dispersement of needed funds to the widows and any other needy believers that may be listed?
What does it mean when the Bible says that an evil spirit was sent by God to torment Saul (reference 1 Samuel 16:14-15)?
Do Christians require anointing oil, i.e. olive oil, to heal the sick, as instructed in James?
