    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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!

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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!

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    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.

    I posted the verses that said He gathered the nations. Your parroting changes nothing. Not after He already saved you. You are making stuff up They can try. Look around and see how well they do. I have the mind of Christ so He does think like me because I look to what He said and thought. It...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Some pretend that what they do after being saved is always perfect. You know the type. In other words, folks, get saved! Once they turn then they have turned. If some judgmental hypocrite then accuses some who turned to Jesus of some little mistake while claiming to be perfect, that is a sin...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    I disagree. I do not believe you. Not for a minute. You claim to be "without sin and pure and perfect" right now! I guess you use some other word for sin? Mistakes? Blowing it? trespasses? By the way if we are to forgive brothers and sisters for their trespasses, how it it they have sins to...

    The verse was about nations after the tribulation. It was not about being saved for works. If you are going to a church that says otherwise, sorry to hear it.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    In other words you claim it is BY walking a certain way at the time of death, that one is saved. The Pharisees putting on the show were not saved. Their hearts were not right. When we sincerely come to Jesus, our heart is right, and He makes it a lot righter! No work justifies salvation. Only...

    Nice verse. I already discussed that a few times and the context. Not sure what else you think is in there. Since your post says diddly squat about it, I guess no one will know what you think it means, if anything different. The context was after Jesus returned to earth in the future and...
