My explanations have not failed. You simply failed to understand. For the record, I'm not someone who attaches "a license for immortality" to OSAS which I believe you realize. OSAS is only a teaching from hell when someone attaches a license to sin with it. Just like NOSAS is a teaching from...

You mentioned behavior so what I shared was relevant. John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. We can see that these many people in Matthew 7:22-23 trusted in their works for...

Faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation is sufficient because the object of our faith is sufficient. (Romans 3:24-26) Works are mentioned because they are the demonstrative evidence of a living faith (James 2:14-18) and we are saved FOR good works. (Ephesians 2:5-10) They are the fruit of...

How believers behave stems from becoming new creations in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17) John drawa a contrast between children of God and children of the devil. (1 John 3:7-10) We see other contrasts throughout scripture as well. If someone claims to be a Christian but practicing sin is ther...

The contradiction is placed there by works-salvationists. Faith in Jesus Christ is sufficient for salvation because the object of our faith (Christ's finished work of redemption) is sufficient and complete to save believers. (Romans 3:22-26) No supplements needed. To reject faith in Jesus Christ...

Includes as in works are the very essence of faith? Or works are the fruit, by product and demonstrate evidence of faith? James is refuting a bare profession of faith that produces no works (James 2:14) and is not teaching works salvation in contradiction to Paul. (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:8,9)...

So, you DO teach salvation by faith AND works. I already knew that. Been there, done that. In regard to "faith without works is dead," James does not mean that faith is dead until it produces works and then it becomes a living faith or that works are the source of life in faith or that we are...

Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-26) *Jesus Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of...

Wow! Some people really go all out to decorate their house for Halloween.

Unlike me, huh? Our understanding of Scripture is not based on superior intellect. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) Now I do understand more than you think about what you wrote and prior to my conversion several years ago, I was born and raised in the RCC. So, you don't promote a "works based" gospel...

How about a little context. In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So, when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against...

Sadly, many believe a "different" gospel that culminates in works righteousness, which equates to unbelief. The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16)...

Hebrews 10:26 - For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate] (AMP)

The true gospel is highly offensive to unbelievers/make believers because they receive no credit for salvation. All the credit goes to Jesus Christ. ✝️ 1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19...

Which one? Wasn't there like 5 or 6 of them?

Sad indeed. We need to remember though that there are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers mixed together on various Christian forum sites, and many people are very passionate about what they believe so when disagreement...

Many people do promote salvation by works and yes, I have read James, numerous times. James 2:14-26 is often misinterpreted by works-salvationists, and the end result is salvation by works. So, do you claim to be sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, 100% of the time? Exactly like Jesus...

Either we are trusting 100% in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation or else we are 100% lost. (John 3:15,16,18; 6:40,47; 10:9, 11:25,26; 14:6; Acts 4:12; 10:43; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-26; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). It does not get any more narrow than that.
