1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God 1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:10...

I guess we would need a judge to rule there were no works at all. If we asked the Pharisees and maybe some onlookers who gave more, the widow or the rich man, possibly most would say the rich man had the better work, If we asked them about the beggar out on the street named Lazarus, they might...

He forgave us all our sins. We are clean. Being clean in this world does not being without any trespasses at all ever in life. Jesus made that clear. We are to forgive brothers that trespass. That does not mean they are filthy dogs and rags. It means they made a mistake. Like the old bumper...

If you never trespass against brethren why did Jesus say we should forgive you when you do? You set up a false perfection and then say that is what being a Christian means!

In other words if we trust God for what He said (eternal life) we are highminded? Jn 11:25,26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou...

There are many men in churches today that would view works very differently. Some people would view preaching the gospel for example as extremism and illegal etc. Some churches would view extreme sin in the eyes of God, such as unnatural sexual practices and molesting the natural sexes of...

Jesus in us makes us blameless. Amen. Your calling requires a certain behavior and standard. Salvation is a gift. As long as you remember the context, this is a great verse. If we try hard and obey we won't stumble and fall. Here is the context Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven...

So Jesus was wrong commanding us to forgive people? (If none had ever sinned or trespassed no forgiveness could be needed) Speaking of knowing, you don't know anyone here or that they are perfect or not. I do know. Everyone here is not perfect! Not because I met them, but because the bible says...

Let's get this straight. Anyone that hasn't met someone that is perfect has not done so because they don't get out enough and meet the right people!? Seriously? Then you toss in a random verse about how believers see stuff after they are saved!

He is very much a respecter of persons as regards wolves and sheep. He is not a respecter of persons as to who can be saved if they come to Him. He also does not reward all wolves the same. Hell, so to speak has many levels. Heaven also. Some have rewards more than others. We all do the best we...

Ok but I might ask, evidence to who, and in whose eyes? What some men judge as nothing that they can see, God might judge as something else. So it gets down to judge not. We do not see and know all. Some men would have thought the widow offering a penny was terrible compared to the stash of cash...

OK, but since you said "no such thing as authentic faith that produces no works at all." the thief came to mind. Then there are deathbed conversions etc. 1 Cor 3: 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall...

Can you cite a few works the thief on the cross did?

Thank God we are not saved by our deeds!

And that represented...what? Better than those sinning while saying they aren't. Remind us of the verse that says he was sinless? Have you asked your wife if you are sinless and 100% pure always? Co workers? Anyone at all? Believers try. And sometimes fail. They are still sons. It is not...

Not guilty on that one:)

We are sons. If your son took the wrong job, against your advice would you want eternal flames for him? The wicked are judged for not being sons. Sons are rewarded according to works. Work does not make a son a son! Nor does it keep a son a son. A son is a son is a son.

The idea with the gospel is that anyone that wants can repent and come to Him. Don't get sore that not all people swallow your works trip on again off again salvation pill. Absollutely. Our works are likf filthy mentrous rags and not anywhere near good enough to save us. That is why Jesus...

Biblically. You said this "Those Christians that say they are saved, or even the whole world are saved, because Jesus died on the cross, are not teaching the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ in the Bible." The only reason we are saved is because He died for us, so that we can accept His...

Not your idea of a works trip 'Christianity'. I prefer the good news.
