There are 5 fundamental biblical points that justbyfaith, Behold, Taken, and their ilk continually duck:
(1) I repeat: in both Hebrew ("amunah") and Greek (("Pistis") the word translated "faith" also means faithfulness." That in itself means that we are saved not by an act of belief or trust, but by a new way of being--or, as Paul puts it, by becoming "a new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 5:17)."
Oops...You made a direct Claim...I duck the Issues of Faith and Faithful...? Uh no.
That is False...but since I do not presume you have read everything I have posted...
I will clear up your false allegation.
"Faith" is a Gift of God.
Eph 2:
[
8] For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God [/B]
The Gift of Faith "cometh" TO a man, by that man Hearing (the Word of God).
Rom 10:17
[
17] So then
faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
All men begin their Natural Born Life...NOT in Belief IN God!
A man Hearing the Word of God: is that man's Beginning of Learning About God.
A man hearing, the Word of God...
* IS Blessed BY God, with measures of FAITH.(even a measure compared to a Tiny mustard seed).
* Keep Hearing the Word of God...KEEP receiving the INCREASE, of knowledge About God....oh ya...and the INCREASE of Gods Gift of Faith!!!
* Stop Hearing...Stop Receiving Gods Gift of Faith.
(So ... not complicated...Hear, the Word of God...God Blesses the individual with His Gift of Faith...Stop hearing...well DUH...Gods Gift of Faith, STOPS being GIVEN, that individual)
IN Context THAT ^ has Nothing to DO...with a man's, Faith- Fullness.
* It is God who IS Faithful to His Own Word.
* It is God who Gifts a man (who is Hearing Gods Word) with Faith.
* it is man's Freewill, to Continue to Receive Gods Gift of Faith...OR Not, (the "OR Not" man Being Called, having Fallen (away) From Faith.
* For the man WHO exercises his Own Freewill TO Continue Hearing the Word of God...
* DUH...^ that man CONTINUES, receiving Gods Gift of Faith.
* DUH...The Gift of Faith a man Receives, IS an INCREASE of Faith!
* It IS the INCREASE of Gods Gift of Faith...upon INCREASE of Gods Gift of Faith ...
THAT...is FILLING that Individual man...with the INCREASE of Gods Gift of Faith.
* a man (IN his own Natural Sin) Being Filled with Gods Gift of Faith...in Preparation, For That man (IN His Own Natural Sin)...
TO:
Make his OWN "Confession and Commitment" TO: ONLY Having Faith IN:
The Lord God Almighty.
* A man's own "word (from his Hearts thoughts), of "Confession and Commitment" To the Lord God Almighty...
IS fully Accepted, By the Faithful Lord God Almighty...
* And Forward to that man, IS Gods Faithful Promise...that that man's "word of Confession and Commitment OF Faith Full-ness To the Lord God Almighty"...will Forever BE KEPT UNTO that man...BY the Power of God.
See? a man can receive Faith from God...and men can Fall from receiving Faith from God...
But a man with just a small measure of Faith From God...By a Heartful Confession and Commitment...that man Will Forever BE Kept Faithful...TO ONLY, The Lord God Almighty.
So your false claim...is simply False.
Not a big secret, Faith is a Gift from God.
A man Freely Chooses TO make a Confession and Commitment to God...(or not).
A man who CHOOSES to MAKE a heartfelt, commitment TO the Lord God...
Becomes A Faithful man, TO Only the Lord God, Once and Forever.
Your 1st claim against me is False!
