Paul taught the Ephesians that grace, faith and merit is not how man is saved. Paul in fact taught the Ephesians the gospel of Jesus Christ in Acts 19:1-7. Paul did not teach them to just believe to be saved. Paul water baptized them for the forgiveness of their sins, Acts 2:38 ; Acts 22:16...

First the thief on the cross was saved under the old testament law of Moses. He is not how we are saved today under, the new covenant of Jesus' gospel. Therefore the thief is no example or proof of salvation by the gospel of Jesus Christ. His will and testament was not yet in effect because He...

Can man boast of believing in God? His faith saves him, why not boast of faith? Paul is not teaching faith alone salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul is teaching meritorious works are not involved in salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9. What works can man boast about? Works that have earned him...

I'm having low blood sugar, gotta take care of the needs of the flesh, see y'all later!

I agree with 99% of what you just taught. Except I believe the scriptures do teach that works of righteousness do justify us, James 2:24, You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone? You are correct that my work without Gods grace could never justify me. But if I desire for...

Yes, but OSAS tends to accompany the belief of faith onlyism

. I also don't believe you can know if salvation can be lost from James 2. What it does teach is salvation cannot be obtain without obedience, works

O, I didn't know you believe God speaks to man outside His Holy Word. Many calvinist's think this. I've heard them say, even muslims that may never read the gospel in their lives will be saved. Because God will give them the Miraculous regeneration of the Holy Spirit if they are of the elect...

James teaches if faith is not accompanied with action ie works it is dead, James 2:20. Therefore to saying saved by faith alone. Is to say I'm saved by a dead faith that does nothing, takes no action

Yes eternal life cannot be not eternal. That would be faulty logic. But if you forfeit eternal life then you no longer have Gods grace. Yes faith is an action. I 100% agree with you. Therefore faith is never just a belief. It is always accompanied with an action. Hence James 2::24.

I had a long pointless discussion with a man who goes by the name, Praise Yeshua. I wish now I had never responded to his post. He is a very angry man. He does not believe the book of James is Gods revelation. So I got nowhere discussing how, the Bible must be without error or it cannot be...

Hello, Grailhunter!

The belief that works of righteousness is evidence of true faith and salvation is true. But not for faith alone or OSAS. It is true that a living perfect faith has works, James 2:22. It is also true that a dead faith has no works, James 2:20. Therefore evidence of salvation from faith is a...

Hello, welcome to the forum, MaurineQlt

God does not miraculously change a born again christian. You must walk with God. You must resist sin. God does not resist sin for you. God allows a way of escape. It is up to YOU to take it. If it is God that is directly keeping you from sinning. Then when a Christian does sin. Who is really...

You accuse me of lying! Here is the real liar! It is The Law! That is not referring to the Pharisees sect! It is the whole Law of Moses! You inserted the Pharisees traditions in the text. Nowhere does it say this. The Pharisees were trying to force the gentile christians to keep THE LAW OF...

Really you proved me wrong? Then show me where an uncircumcised gentile could enter the synagogue! Why did Paul circumcise Timothy?, Acts 16:3, Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him an circumcised him because of the Jews who were in the region, for they all knew that his...

O, I see Gods commandments are Jesus' commandments, No such thing as a Holy commandment new covenant calendar. God gives us liberty to follow whatever calendar is used in our time. No Christian, sun-worships. Show me a christian today who worships the sun because of our calendar? You wont find...

The apostles doctrine, was never eat common meals together. The disciples obeyed the apostles doctrine. You dont obey any new testament covenant to eat common meals together. Show where any of the apostles taught this in Jesus' gospel? What you do find is The apostles doctrine of the breaking...

Notice the corrupt, Jesus denying Pharisees, did exactly as the modern day Sabbatarians are guilty of. Acts 15:5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them(gentiles) and to command them to keep the law of Moses. The apostles...
