Dude you keep, digging a deeper whole

And here's the whole I dig:
James 2:24 Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

Because you don't accept the whole, you're only accepting part of God's word.


Faith alone people trust part of God's word but don't trust Him well enough accept all of it.

You're adding legalistic rules and regulations to deny what God plainly said. That's why your legalism fails.

The good news for you, is the Gospel, which doesn't involve a theology exam. It merely requires you to love God and your neighbor and do the will of the Father. Even if you cling to your new doctrines, you can still be saved, so long as you do that.

The false expectation that exposing someone else's sin or error makes other sins and errors (which are worse) okay.

The "faith only" doctrine doesn't necessarily require that, but we have seen some of them saying so. As far as which are worse, one has no need to do the "my sins are nicer than your sins" dance if one realizes that God is right when He says that by works a man is justified and not by faith only.

Sooo a person who isn’t a Christian doesn’t do good works?
How can they?

Maybe your understanding of good works is flawed

how can we love if we have not experienced Gods love yet

remembering, we love BECAUSE god love us first,

and nothing done out of love is a good work

Well, I don’t think anyone is out to get me sooo you should apologize for that baseless lie.

I am happy to educate you about Christianity. A Protestant is a member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and follow the principles of the Reformation.

your welcome

Yes, there are many false preachers. In fact this happened and has continued since the beginning of the churches in the NT era, culminating in Catholics killing one another then others who exposed its error.

The apostate RCC is wholly corrupt whereas the true churches, akin to the NT churches in history have an admixture of corruption among them.

These things being true I see the RCC no different than Watch Tower Society teachings or the teachings of Mormonism which are also wholly corrupt and false.
