    Protestantism justifies sin on some level.

    There are 800 million to 1 billion Protestants in the world. Surely this is not what Jesus referred to when He said narrow is the way that leads unto life and FEW be there that find it.

    Your question is loaded like a baked potato. I gave you the TRUE explanation of what 1 Corinthians 3 is really saying. it’s not what you think it says. Read my explanation and examine it with Scripture. If not, then you are simply parroting the Protestant religion that is the big gorilla on...

    In 1 Corinthians 3: Paul says before his parable, "you are God's building." So we are the materials that make up the building. The work is not referring to just any kind of general actions of a believer like good fruit (any kind of good fruit) and evil fruit (sin). For sin is not of the faith...

    Another reason why I cannot respect their belief is because if one believes this garbage, and they later in life find themselves not living holy, then they will doubt that they were genuinely saved to begin with (When they really did get saved genuinely). They then will start to doubt God’s...

    The law of Moses was to point folks to Jesus Christ. But we are not under the 613 Laws of Moses anymore (Romans 6:14). We are under the Laws of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:21). The Law was to show that they did break God’s laws and come to God’s grace in their INITIAL Salvation. Paul is trying...

    That’s not what Ephesians 2:8-9 says. Nor does it teach such a thing. If Ephesians 2:8-9 said that we are saved solely by believing on the finished work of the cross, it would have said that. Being saved by God’s grace through faith without works is not saying the exact words saved solely by...

    The thing is that I don’t believe the Christian group who says that a believer must not practice sin or they were never a true believer to begin with. Why? Well, in the beginning I believed there was one group that was more holy and strict, but after closely examining ALL of their words that...

    Justified means to be declared just or righteous. So if we are justified (declared just by God) by our faith in God’s grace and believing the savior for salvation, then we are also declare to be justified (declared righteous or just by God) by our works of faith. Paul mentions a thing called...

    The warning to put on the whole armor of God is so that we can stand against the schemes of the devil. To the OSAS Christian or the Sin and Still Be Saved Proponent (Free Will Baptists, etcetera) they really don’t look at the Scriptures and it’s warnings like this. They are saved by a belief...

    I am not denying this verse. I do agree that the love of God can compel us. But it also does not mean we cannot fall away from the faith or be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

    Revelation 3 should erase any doubt. One church was lukewarm and they were spewed out of Christ’s mouth. Another church was told to repent because He did not find their works perfect before God. So our works have to be perfect (worthy) before God after we are saved by God’s grace through...

    Then you believe that the word faith mentioned in James 2:24 is saying the same thing in relation to being justified?

    Watch this video. There are lots of Scripture verses that this Pastor puts forth to explain things here. While I do not agree with everything this Pastor says, I do agree with him (for the most part) in this video. I would encourage your to check it out.

    This sounds like a contradiction. Then again, if you were to carefully examine the Protestant religion more, you would see that they make contradictory statements all the time.

    First, why are you not able to see that there is only ONE WORD called justified in James 2:24? Meaning, James did not mention the word justified twice so as to refer to one version of justified as in reference to works, and another word justified for faith in James 2:24. Why are you unable to...

    And this kind of thinking is why few will only be saved. Noah and his family (8 people) were onboard the Ark. Jesus said narrow is the way that leads unto life, and FEW be there that find it. Protestantism is not of the FEW because it is one of the largest denominations on the planet (or it’s...

    No. You are not forced against your will to be a certain way. While there is a change in the new birth, it does not override our free will, and or relinquish our responsibility in continuing in God’s plan of salvation. We are told: “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the...

    Works is a part of our sanctification, and James says, “You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.” (James 2:24) (BLB). The same word justified is used for both faith and works. So if you suggest that we are not justified by works, then you must suggest that faith also...

    So then what do you make of 1 John 1:7, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, and Romans 8:13?
