The Bible has many examples of God's gracious free gift having a condition and no one's obedience in meeting the condition is said to be a work of merit. God commanded Noah to do the obedient work in building the ark in order to recevie God's free gift of salvation from the flood. If what you...

The Bible speaks of different kinds of works...good works, wicked works, works of righteousness, works of unrighteousness, works of the OT law, works of merit, works of obedience in doing God's will, etc but no verse eliminates ALL works of ALL kinds. Romans 4:5-6, Eph 2:8-9, Tts 3:5, etc do...

The context of Rom 11 is making a clear distinction between fleshly Israel and the true Israel (Gal 6:16) the church and Christians are the true Jew as Paul says in Rom 2:28-29 "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a...

God's inspired word written down for us. I see nothing in Rom 10:6-8 that would contradict verse 10.

Rom 10:17 faith comes by hearing the word of God.

The Bible teaches salvation by an OBEDIENT faith, a faith that obeys the will of God justifies/saves whereby a faith that is void of obedient works is dead as James says. Faith onlyists try and save man by having man do nothing, that is, salvation is by some thought process or some emotional...

Acts 28:27 "For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." The Jews closed their...

You have not yet, or ever will, to provide a single verse that eliminates obedience to God's will from obtaining salvation nor a verse that calls obedience to God's will a work of merit. This is why the faith only argument is a dead, faulty argument.

God justifies, Rom 8:23 obedient works justify James 2:24 faith justifies Romans 5:1 grace justifies Romans 3:24 Christ's blood justifies Rom 5:9 It is obvious that no one thing alone justifies, that is, faith alone does not justify, grace alone does not justify, obedience alone does not...

Lk 24:47: "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." From Luke's account of the great commission, the gospel would start to go forth beginning in Jerusalem on Pentecost with Peter preaching the first recorded gospel...

Those born again CAN fall away as 2 Pet 2 proves for Peter speaks of one who had been "bought"...redeemed by the Lord but falls away having forsaken the right way and gone astray. One who was always lost, never saved cannot forsake the right way for he was never in the right way, he cannot go...

No verse says the promise of everlasting life is UNconditional whereby the Christian can never be lost under any circumstance no matter how the Christian lives his life. Instead, Rom 6 Christians are those who have conditionally died to sin and cannot continue live in sin. Bit if salvation were...

more..............(my emp) Does Repentance Precede Faith? Hiram Hutto 05/20/12 - Repentance A person does not need to have listened to very much preaching — whether on the radio, television, or other places - to know that there are preachers who are telling people, "All you have to do to be...

continued Alleged Proofs When one has the gospel preached to him, and learns that he must repent, why does he repent? It is because he believes the message that is brought him. Were it not for this, he would not repent. One replies, “Well, surely these people must have something by which...

Below is an article that pointedly shows you are trying to conform the Bible with you faith olnyism as the reason why you are trying to do the illogical, the impossible in having one repent beofe one believes.......(my emp) In our last lesson we promised that we would devote this lesson to a...

You are rewriting the Bible at every turn trying ways to force faith onlyism into it creating contradictions yet never clear those contradictions up. Again, in Mark 1:15 context matters. In the context Jesus was speaking to Jews who ALREADY believed in God, therefore Jesus was not telling...

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. "His people" that God has not cast away of Rom 11:1-2 refers to Christians, the true Jew (Rom 2:28-29) the spiritual Jew for the text of Romans 11:19-23 clearly...

You continue the same old thing in trying to rewite the Bible in order to make it conform to your faith onlyism. Jn 12:42 proves that belief only cannot ave those who will not repent. Matt 10:32-33; Rom 10:9-10 make confession a necessity to being saved and you have not proven nor ever will...

We know from Jn 12:42 their belief would not lead them to confess Christ leaving them lost with their belief only. And you are still worng about repentance preceding faith for unbelievers would not CANNOT repent. Those who do not believe is is impossilbe for them to repent Heb 6:6. Atheists do...

Paul says one is serving one of two masters; 1) sin unto death 2) obedience unto righteousness Where then does Luther's faith onlyism fall among these two options? Faith onlyism cannot be serving "obedience unto righeousness" for it falsely claims there is nothing one can do to become saved...
