    Not by works - but by faith

    Your reply is based completely on the mistranslated words believe, believer, and believing. This mistranslation changes the object of Faith from God Himself, a real living person, to God's word and promises. Huge difference!

    Coop That word " believeth" is a mistranslation. The invitation isn't to " believe" in Him, the invitation is to personally surrender our lives to Him and live a life inspired by such surrender.

    " Believing " is a choice, something you do, why is that exempt from your "no work" theology? Do you know the Greek word that is used to define how Faith is applied in relation to the living God?

    If your willing, let's talk about how a called out one responds to the call of the Father. The very beginning of the salvation journey. In Rom. 8:9 we are told that if we are not in Him, and He is not in us, we are none of His. This is telling us if we don't have the Spirit of Christ, Christ...

    Hi NC. Haven't talked with you for awhile, but have seen your still in the discussion arena. I know you stay away from confrontational discussion, and I respect that. If you remember me, I'm all about what Faith is and how it's applied in relation to the living God. If I remember correctly...
