Not by themselves and no more or less than faith by itself. Yes I the position to be saved and how does one get I that position. BOTH faith AND works.

So if he doesn't force you then by definition it is a choice. Since it's a choice thats why works are needed, not sufficient but needed to complete faith just like James said. Faith without works is dead.

I am going to try and work on the assumption you can read with comprehension. Im not entirely sure you can but I'm willing to try. I'm going to ask you a question and I really need you to focus and not capitalize half your words when you reply . You ready? Here it comes: Where did I say we...

So you're like the fig tree you have no choice but to do the works of God. You will produce "fruit" no matter what. Then if it's not a choice it's not done of out love it's down out of obligation?

I'm going to and treat you with a respect you haven't earned, so what do you mean by "teach" works? What I will say though, while contemplate a response that will no doubt not answer the question, is I reference works just as James does. That is to say works complete faith. In other words if...

Of course having faith in your dentist and going to him to get your tooth fixed completes the process. How else would it happen? God could have made it so Jesus dying on the cross saved everyone regardless of faith or works but that's now how it works is it? Both are necessary as alone neither...

That a great analogy! So what you're saying is, if you have you don't have faith in the dentist and you dont go of the dentist your tooth won't get fixed. So neither is sufficient for getting your tooth fixed. The only way to get your tooth fixed is to have faith in the dentist and to go to the...

You should be done with it. I would run too if I was you. It's fruitless because I won't let you dictate the conversation. I've asked you numerous times to tell me what sufficient means, but you either can't or won't. That alon makes conversation with you useless. They are my observations. My...

That why I'm wary of you. You believe stuff not in the bible while ignoring stuff that is. That definitely doesnt make you someone I'm interested in listening to or who I want to take seriously. On top of that you seem to be claiming some absolute authority on the meaning of scripture even...

Look up the meaning of the sufficient and get back to me. Yes the repentant thief's confession is a work born of faith, but show that had he not made the confession his faith alone would have saved him. Jesus knew his faith existed there was no need to confess it if faith is sufficient for...

That first line makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever. I suspect you would argue you are saved by faith correct?

It is faith plus works. Do you people not understand what sufficient means? Go look it up and get back to me.

I didn't call anyone any of those things. Please read I wrote again. A persons ideas can and in this care are nonsensical stupid and ridiculous. They are also behaving pompously and with buffoonery. If they want to suspend me they can. It doesn't change their behavior.

Oh brother. Once saved are you free to sin?

But we have a choice and without those works you have NOTHING. Too bad you reject scripture but i understand why you have to.

Of course it says that 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his...

I know the difference. Is ou free will suspended when we are "saved" by faith? I have very little tolerance for blind nonsense

Grace is a function of Gods mercy and faith is our belief that grace is salvific. Faith however is completed by works just as scripture says. The same part that you can't understand that works complete faith. Once again if faith was sufficient it wouldn't need completion. That's the exact...

Which AGAIN leads people to assume faith alone saves. It does not Maybe someone does. Faulty premise, faulty outcome. Understand? To say not faith alone is not the same thing as saying works saves. Now you either comprehend that or you don't. The problem is you people get bugged eyed whenever...
