James 2:21 says that Abraham was justified by works by offering up Isaac. Hebrews 11:17 says… BY FAITH… Abraham offered up Isaac. So it’s saying the same thing. Abraham’s works were a part of his faith. It’s how one LIVES out their faith. From faith to faith… the just will LIVE by faith.

Paul was speaking as a Pharisee in that he was under the WHOLE of the 613 Laws of Moses in Romans 7:14-24. He wanted to keep the righteous aspect of the Old Law (i.e. the moral law like do not murder, to do not steal, etc.) but he couldn’t because he was under the Old law as a WHOLE (that did...

Paul never says that you are not under the laws like do not murder, to do not steal, etcetera. One is completely ignorant of the Scriptures if one believes that. Paul warns in several places that those who murder, covet, steal will not inherit the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21) (1...

Protestant Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationists have tried to say that the word “justified” in James 2:24 is non-salvific. But the same word “justified” is used for both faith and works in the same verse. James is saying that a faith lived out that has no works is like a dead faith (James...

Acts 13:39 says you cannot be justified by the Law of Moses. This is the 613 Laws as a whole or package deal. This is why Paul says we are not under the Law (i.e. the Old Law) in Romans 6:14. However, Paul says he is not without law seeing he is under the Law of Christ (See: 1 Corinthians 9:21)...

Many do not know how to rightly divide. There is a difference between the 613 Laws of Moses and the Laws of Christ in the New Testament. Christians are not under the 613 Laws of Moses or the works of the Old Law that was given to Israel and not the church. Christians today are ignorant about...

To all: Some do not understand why we fight the good fight of faith even (because they don’t actually believe all of the Bible). 2 Timothy 4:2 says, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”

To all: Christians are to be encouraging other believers to do good works constantly. Titus 3:8 “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable...

The Bible determines the truth on… #1. Works done out of worldly love while one justifies sin and or unfruitfulness (Under God’s grace) (i.e. Perpetual Belief Alone-ism), vs. #2. Works done out of love and as a part of the faith in glorifying God’s grace (See: Titus 2:11-12, Ephesians 5:25-27).

John the Baptist was against Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism. He said to the Pharisees “do not think to say within yourselves we have Abraham our father.” For they thought they were saved by simply being sons of Abraham. For it is written: “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance...

To all: Many will attempt to make false accusations based on their brainwashing from Protestantism. They don’t really read and believe all of the Scriptures. They change them to suit their own ends. They turn God’s grace into a license for immorality of which Jude 1:4 warns us against.

James 2:24 (Berean Literal Bible) “You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.” This would be faith lived out, and not in our faith involving our initial salvation in being saved by God’s grace (of which Paul talks about).

Anyone who reads the Bible and has been transformed by it knows they should be sold out to Christ and in living for Him instead of themselves. Those who seek to justify sin under God’s grace are never really going to understand (1 Timothy 6:3-4). Matthew 25:21 says that the servant who was...

Titus 3:9 says, “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.”

Ephesians 2:10 does not say that you are saved for good works. That’s another nonsensical imaginary Protestant saying. The text simply says we are created unto Christ Jesus for good works and that we should walk in them. But you say that works do not save and then you contradict yourself and...

Picture two men cleaning a really huge dirty bowl or vase that is white. One man cleans with the intention of putting away the dirt. The second man cleans with the intention of thinking that there will always be some kind of dirt he will never get off the item. He may believe pollution and...

As for OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved): This type of belief will lead a believer to treat grace as a license to sin on some level. While not all OSAS folk are Hyper Grace (in that they believe that they can live in excessive amounts of sin as a way of life like say: Fornication, murder, theft...

I strive to ignore Anti-Trinitarians, Hyper Grace Folk, Univeralists, and cults. So if your belief falls into one of these above categories, and you have written me something, there is a good chance I will not read everything you write (Let alone reply back to you).

No offense, but I have no interest in talking about the Bible with those who deny Jesus is God (after I have shown them the truth with Scripture). Granted, while I do care and love them, I simply find their belief to be heretical and wrong --- whereby any meaningful bible discussion on any...

So you believe you are forever saved by a belief alone... then if that is the case... then how you live does not matter. Good works do not matter. In fact, we know this kind of belief will just lead you to doing good works mingled with evil works because this kind of belief can make a person...
