Works? What kind of works? Paul is not very specific about faith, laws or works. But DOING righteousness is doing good works. What we can't do is justify ourselves by our works. Neither can we justify ourselves by our beliefs...which has reached epidemic proportions in the modern church. The...

Yes...I agree that TOC (the confused one) is funny. :) It brings some levity. And I understand why he thinks as he does. But the fact that so many people would take anything he says seriously shows how far removed from reality people have strayed. I see TOC as a school drop-out who sits in rags...

LOL. He is simply...simple. You confuse a lack of intelligence as being righteous. Of course. Because you have no critical thinking...therefore anyone who has forsaken critical thinking and looks down on intelligence must have done so to follow a god who they think wants us to be simple and...

The first thing that is thrown out in modern religious circles is critical thinking. And honesty. If you want to accept the salvation scheme as presented by pretenders TO other pretenders...then you have to set aside basic intelligence. Because any kind of critical thinking and discernment would...

On the silly charge of me being "inclusivist" by the TCO (the confused one). Yes...I honour God who is merciful. His love and mercy are "inclusivist". Those who only see God as "exclusivist" have no love or mercy...and see an angry and spiteful god...the likes of which are not according to the...

LOL You underestimate God's intelligence level so that He can only think as far as you do. In your pretend world God just wants lip-service and religious sounding platitudes. And you get a LOT of likes (that's why you are here...seeking approval from people) because most people are no more...

No. The UNBELIEVABLE density of religious people is so exasperating because a very simple term can't be understood even as children could understand it. After a while that dullness of understanding gets to the point where an adult conversation becomes impossible. And at that point one must try...

Actually the difference between the early church and the modern church is that the church at that time was not yet corrupted by false doctrines and the gospel was still the real gospel. Add to that that the early believers were honest and not dishonest like so many modern believers, and we can...

Reading skills are required when reading the bible. The word "holy" in the term HOLY Spirit is an adjective. Like "red" in a red house is an adjective. Are you following? So then the holy Spirit makes a person holy. Not righteous....but holy. Righteousness is what we DO with that. Cornelius...

Most modern believers will fail every honesty test because the beliefs they hold are arrived at through dishonesty. And even when they SEE that they still cling to their dishonesty like a life raft for the outer man.

Here is an honesty test for you. How many kinds of people...eternal destinies... do you read here? (and then compare that to someone with grade 1 reading skills, what any unbiased 5 year old would say...as a child would read it)) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is...

Most people that read the bible today understand neither holiness nor righteousness. Consequently what comes from a reading of the bible is an unbalanced mess. Enter the devil who proclaims a falsehood that quickly gains popularity, that God permits to test those who are neither humble...

That's not in context....that is a novice mistake of thinking one verse cancels all other verses that says something different. You have taken one verse out of context and destroyed righteousness that God accepts. Amazing. In one fell swoop you undo all teachings of Jesus including the sermon...

How many times have you read this verse? But in every nation he that fears God and does righteousness is accepted with Him

Lip-service but wrong spirited. More lip-service. I don't do lip-service with pretenders.

False. And you speak lies. Notice the goodness and severity of God. You are excluded from what you think you are included in. So without God's mercy, that you look down on...you are toast. You just don't know it. The false spirits are in the church as well as outside the church. A religious...

What you are not seeing is the difference between righteousness and holiness. What has been replaced is the holiness aspect of Judaism. The righteousness aspect has not. In fact in many ways the Jews are STILL more righteous than most Christians. How? They allow for others beside themselves to...

That's what I just said. But you don't understand the truth. Righteousness is about DOING God's will. Jesus said not all will enter the kingdom but those who DO the will of My Father in heaven. So call Jesus a liar. The foundation that Jesus calls for is DOING what He says. Building your house...

I don't know when your are all going to realize you are speaking empty platitudes, self-congratulatory approvals, and theories of things you have no understanding of...for the most part. People have veered so off course that this thread has long been hijacked...just like the bible has been...

Every cult is unbalanced and champions either one aspect of truth or another...accepting only half-truths and lies. But these who love the truth seek out the balance. For example righteousness works by BOTH faith and works. Whereas holiness is only by faith since no one can overcome sin by...
