Paul spoke to those who tried to add works.. thats why he said faith minus works

James spoke to people who claimed to have faith, but had no works..proving they had no faith to begin with.

Both are steeped in pride..

Ready for a shocker . which one . cause ITS INFLUENCE IS ALL OVER THE PROTESTANT REALM .
its like they are more and more becoming little houses of ROME themselves . The protestant realm
THROUGH a guise of unity and common ground BOUGHT A DEADLY SNARE that has entrapped them
and worse they do get and will get . UNLESS they BREAK her chains from off thier backs .
remember, when people left and started their own churches. Many of them brought their faulty catholic beliefs with them

Yes we could say Paul said we are saved by grace.. and those saved will do good works.

James is saying if you claim to have faith, but do not have the works Paul said those saved by Grace would have, Your faith is dead. Which is why you have no works

You were not transformed and made new creatures.

this is why we see the Spirit at work within the apostles . to both warn and to remind the church .
Every word works good to the soul of the hearer and the doer of the Word .
Every reminder works to the good of the church . All reminders help to stir the church up to remembrance .
The Lord knows how to keep the church safe and from falling .
Let us embrace all reminders as they are good for the souls of the lambs .

Ephesians 2:8-9 NIVFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
First of all – WHYY is it that Protestants always leave out verse 10 when posting about Eph. 8-9??
Leaving out
verse 10 removes the CONTEXT of what Paul is saying,

Verses 8-9 pertain to the people in Matt. 7:21-23, who performed works for their OWN glory.
Verse 10 pertains to those works that God prepared in advance for us to complete.

John 6:38-40 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
As for John 6:38-40, you missed the context AGAIN.
“BELIEVE” in this context is illustrated by the disciples who LEFT Jesus after He told them that they had to eat (trogon) His flesh and drink His blood – which He called “REAL food” and “REAL drink”.

The Apostles, who didn’t fully understand yet because the Last Supper is where Jesus instituted this practice STAYED With Him.

Which are YOU – the former or the
latter?

never, his church did survive, inspite of Rome’s attempt to destroy it
The Catholic Church was the ONLY Christian Church for the first 10 centuries.
YOU
are saying that Jesus's Church disintegrated in the FIRT century, rendering Him a LIAR (Matt. 16:18).

Good luck telling HIM that at your Judgement . . .

He was the bread from heaven

when did I eat it? 50 years ago

how. The way he said

John 6:

come to him,

35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Believe in him

40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me,that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
“Believing” is only a PART of what faith us – one of the elements of faith. Even the demons believe – but they don’t have faith (James 2:19).
Surrender and Obedience are the other elements if faith – and are NO LESS essential.

That’s why the condemned servants in Matt. 7:21-23, who did their own works, their own way were NOT recognized by Jesus. They had “belief” and they had works – but they lacked surrender and obedience.

The works that God prepared in advance for us to do as a part of our faith (Eph. 2:19) ARE pleasing to Him.

So, you came to faith in Christ. You didn’t eat His body or drink Jis blood.

He explicitly described what His Body and blood were and how to consume them sacramentally - and it wasn’t symbolic:
“This IS my body,
“This IS my blood.”
(Luke 22:19–20; Matthew 26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24).

Paul
also describes this sacramental meal and how Jesus is substantially present in the bread and wine (1 Cor, 11:23–25).

Just as the Jews were to consume the flesh of the lamb at Passover – WE consume the Paschal Lamb of God

The Hebrew meaning of Bethlehem means, “House of Btraf.”
The Arabic word means, “House of Meat.”


Jesus, the Bread of Life was born in the “House of Bread/Meat” and was laid in a feeding trough.
NOYHIG
in Scripture is accidental . . .

That's the RCC rhetoric. However, in truth the RCC officially began in 590C.E.

I think it unfair to early Christians,followers of the way of Immanuel,to imply there was no "church" before the RCC.

There was. And it was not the RCC that initiated the ecclestical practice in year 1.


Early followers of Christ met in homes,in the outdoors when possible given the faith was outlawed for centuries due to Roman law and its prosecution.
It would therefore be impossible for the RCC to have existed in 34A.D due to its namesake, Roman, law forbidding such a thing.

Furthermore, God forbids idolatry, necromancy,etc...All that the RCC upholds.

We dont

Work comes after we are saved not to get saved. It is because we are a new creation
Verses 8-9 pertain to the people in Matt. 7:21-23, who performed works for their OWN glory.
Verse 10 pertains to those works that God prepared in advance for us to complete.
Where do you come up with this?

Works is works

We are not saved by works we are saved for works. Don’t add to the word
As for John 6:38-40, you missed the context AGAIN.

They left because of unbelief

They did not believe Jesus could supply the food which ensures forever.

You’re no different. You do not believe it either

How do you think I came to faith in the first place?
He explicitly described what His Body and blood were and how to consume them sacramentally - and it wasn’t symbolic:

Yawn

Go back and read what I said follow Jesus words.

Stop being like this who left him because they did not believe in the food that endures forever

Jesus said this food unlike physical food you can eat and not die

When you can shiw
Me I can eat the Eucharist and I am assured I will live forever. I will believe you

Roman Catholic,Catholic Romans, are led to accept the church saves as representatives of the Christ. Holy Mother church. And the infallible Poe, vicar of Christ.

And you?
Yup- except for the erroneous part in RED.

Salvation is conditional. It is guaranteed for those who REMAIN FAITHFIL in Christ (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor. 10:12, 1 Tim. 4:1, 1 Tim. 4:16, 2 Tim. 2:12, Heb. 3:6, Heb. 3:12-14, Heb. 6:4-6, Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Pet. 2:20-21, 2 Pet. 3:17, 1 John 2:24, 1 John 5:13, Rev. 3:5, Rev. 22:19).

Give me the official documentation hat substantiates this claim.

And that's where you're dead wrong.

The Church was being called "The Catholic Church" in the FIRST century, while the Apostke John was still alive.
In fact, the FIRST century Bishop and lifelong disciple of John, Ignatius of Antioch wrote the folloeing on his way to his Martyrdom in Rome:


Ignatius of Antioch
Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same reverence that you would to a command of God. Make sure that no step affecting the Church is ever taken by anyone without the bishop’s sanction. The sole Eucharist you should consider valid is one that is celebrated by the bishop himself, or by some person authorized by him. Where the bishop is to be seen, there let all his people be; just as, wherever Jesus Christ is present, there is the Catholic Church (Letter to the Smyrneans 8:2 [A.D. 107]).

Early followers of Christ met in homes,in the outdoors when possible given the faith was outlawed for centuries due to Roman law and its prosecution.
It would therefore be impossible for the RCC to have existed in 34A.D due to its namesake, Roman, law forbidding such a thing.
WRONG again . . .

I already PROVED to you that the Catholic Church existed in the FIRST century.
As for ut bwing outlawed - it WAS. That's why they were being persecuted. The first 33 Popes were MARTYRED during this tme, along with countless priets, deacons and lay peole.

Furthermore, God forbids idolatry, necromancy,etc...All that the RCC upholds.
This is patently FALSE - and BOTH are condemned by the Church.
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
2114
Human life finds its unity in the adoration of the one God. The commandment to worship the Lord alone integrates man and saves him from an endless disintegration. Idolatry is a perversion of man's innate religious sense. An idolater is someone who "transfers his indestructible notion of God to anything other than God."


2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

Bearing FALSE witness is a sin. Do you knpw what happens to LIARS at the end?
Rev.21:8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

We are saved by the free gift Immanuel paid for in full on his cross, by God's grace through faith.

Not by a church,the church.
Yep . and the church are the ones who have been saved BY JESUS CHRIST . yes indeed .
The church preaches the message , aka gospel on how TO BE saved . BUT yep , your right my friend
The lambs keep the FAITH and HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST . HE alone saves . Now on that note , ITS LORD PRAISING TIME
in the building and round the world .
