You have placed yourself under law for salvation and being that you are so fond of bringing James into the conversation about dead faith, here is what he says about those who put their dead faith on law:

James 2:10 - For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking ALL of it. (That's that ALL again)

Translation: All law does is condemn.

Have you started your ministry in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth as Jesus commanded His followers do, meshak? No?

It is so sad that your faith in Jesus is so little that you cannot reach out to the world.

You need creativity in serving Him.

You don't tell anyone to do something you are not doing yourself, friend.

I have no obligation to explain to you how I serve God who are not interested in being faithful to Him.

Blessings in serving Him.

My goodness.
Please tone it down.
You are not showing much of Jesus' spirit of love by slandering Christians who are serving Him.

The whole Bible is about Jesus Christ and his Gospel. In the Old Testament we see God bringing forth a people and a nation from whom the savior of the world would come. God chose Patriarchs, prophets and others to reveal his plan of salvation. The Old Testament saints were saved and justified by faith in God's promise of a savior.

"Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness" Romans 4:3.

There is a thread that runs through the Old Testament concerning God's promise of a savior. Many of the Jews looked forward to seeing God's promise of a savior, but died without ever seeing it become a reality, Hebrews 11:39. They were saved and justified by faith. They looked forward to seeing the savior. We look back. It is much easier to look back than it is to look forward. We have the whole revelation of Jesus Christ and his Gospel in the New Testament.

God's promise of a savior becomes a reality in the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord" Luke 2:11.

The long awaited savior finally arrives, but not many knew who he was, nor did they know what his purpose was, John 1:12. The apostles knew who he was, 1 John 1:1-4. But even some of them did not know what his purpose was until the day of Pentecost. Acts chapter 2 is the big reveal. For the very first time the Gospel comes into the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. The lowly disciples are transformed into powerful preachers of the Gospel, Acts 4:18-20. Pentecost gave birth to the New Testament church. Nothing is the same after Pentecost. The apostles went everywhere preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thousands and thousands of Jews are born again by the word of God (the Gospel) 1 Peter 1:23 and become witnesses for Christ and his Gospel.

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?

The Gospel is that work that Jesus did in our name and on our behalf that justifies the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and reconciles us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. In the Gospel Jesus comes into the world as God's new Adam and our new humanity, 2 Corinthians 5:17. His mission is to do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves. By his righteous sinless life he offers to God the Father a life of perfect obedience according to his Holy Law. Jesus is the end and the fulfillment of God's law, Romans 10:4.

That was not enough. Something had to be done about our sins and the sins of the whole world,

"For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" 2 Corinthians 5:21.

In Jesus Christ we have been justified, sanctified and redeemed, 1 Corinthians 1:30. We now stand before God as holy and complete in Jesus Christ, Colossians 2:10. If the Bible is read in the light of this historical Gospel of Jesus Christ it will make sense. If you try to add your religion to the Bible, it will not make sense.

The sole purpose of the Bible is to reveal Jesus Christ and his Gospel. It is not a Christian Torah. Those that hear and believe the Gospel are born again by the word of God, 1 Peter 1:23, which is the Gospel. Christianity is the only religion that is spiritual. All other religions are of the law and the flesh. In the Gospel we are complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10 and have been reconciled to God, 2 Corinthians 5:18. We now stand before God's holy court as justified, sanctified, and redeemed by Jesus Christ. What the religious are trying to do by the works of the law and religion, is already ours in Jesus Christ.

"And has (past tense) raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Jesus Christ" Ephesians 2:6.

God sees all that believe in his Son as perfect and complete in Jesus Christ. No religion needed.

Shalom.

Today is Shlishli (Third) 12-26.

You mention the Gospel and the Bible saying How the Gospel Interprets the Bible. Your thread title has a special or particular meaning that I do not understand. Please explain.

Shalom.

This isn't me speaking, it's in the bible!

Acts 5

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

We are to obey the living God, regardless of what you think, if we don't, then we don't receive the Holy Spirit.

we are just showing you how the HS helps to serve God since you dont seem to know how.

It is not us who are being faithful. It is the HS. So it is not such good idea to mock and ridicule Him the way you guys are doing.

Praise God for the HS's power:)

blessings in serving Him.:)

Your arrogant attitude and mouth sure is not of Jesus.
Jesus says we know them by their fruit.
