So how much work is needed to be justified?

Romans 15:6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 2:20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

Only two choices, so I'll pick #1.

I don't think God needs our weakness to make His strength perfect in Himself. His strength stands by Itself, already perfect, and is usable in our weaknesses, by faith in the Lord. Our weaknesses can prove the strength of the Lord. Maybe I'm deceived also.

I spoke too soon. Sorry. You were providing some good teaching and I was being foolish. (but, at least you got me to read Hosea again!)

How about "anti-Catholic Church"? Not, anti-catholic people.

I'm happy to see you are using the Bible now to prove things.

You said: "If there is sin in that, then I repent" Wouldn't repentance involve turning away from the sin, and not going to any more graduations? You still celebrate Christmas, which you think is sinful.

If it is true that the "pagan feast of Saturnalia" got Christianized, and became what we think of as Christmas, then that is exactly what should happen to the entire world by the Spirit of God. Jeremiah 10:1-5 ends by saying "Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do...

Could you explain how/why Jesus considers Christmas as idolatry? Is anybody celebrating Christmas an idolater?

I'm sorry. I see now where you said no debate.

You said: "The only way Christians will fully stop the sin in there lives is through tounges and the Holy Ghiost does the rest." No. I think the spirit who leads you has said that to you, but it is not from the Holy Spirit. You sound just like a previous Forum member who went by the name of...

Because the Scriptures show us what sin is.

Regarding King David: why? Because he was saved. And it looks like God wanted to keep using David for His purposes.

People.

By faith, I believe God breathed the Scriptures.

You said: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" II Cor 6:14 Was Hosea not a prophet of God who heard from God? Has God changed? Why was it that Hosea went ahead and...

Right, I agree. So, sola-Scriptura is not really alone. Something like the "rule of faith" (or tradition), and the church, have always been used to agree on the absolute truth. But, the "rule of faith" and the church are not equal to the Scriptures. Scripture stands alone. (says a fallible...

Is that different than "Do you pray in the spirit", your O.P.?

Fallible people decide what is absolute truth.
