To whom am I supposed to pray? My dad was a Mormon, my older sister used to be Pentecostal but is now Lutheran, and one of my friends is Jehovah Witness. They caused a great confusion for me. Also I have been reading the NIV. I do believe in Jesus and that he died for our sins. I am not confused about the trinity, in fact, I believe in it, but who am I suppose to pray if I want to repent and be saved - our heavenly Father or Jesus? or does it make any difference?
How do you define sin nature? I believe in the concept of original sin inherited from Adam, but recently I was told that sin is actually in our blood. I have believed that sin is in our nature, but I'd never thought of it as actually being in our blood.
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?
What does the Lord mean when He says in Romans 1:20 that "even his eternal power and Godhead;" are revealed in the creation. How is the Trinity evident in creation?
In the question and answer section of your website on doubting your salvation, the writer quotes Galatians 2:16 and indicates "the faith OF Christ" refers not to faith IN Christ, but Christ's actual faith. That verse is referred to also in the same way in the section on "how to lose your salvation." JF&B, Matthew Henry, Luther, and Wiersbe all seem to indicate that this verse refers to faith IN Christ. Can you tell me of any other sources that support your interpretation?
