What is God's will for us to BECOME saved? Not "lip service" confession of Jesus as Lord (Matthew 7:21) and works salvation. (Matthew 7:22) 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...

Abraham was already justified (accounted as righteous) before God based on his faith before he did the work of offering up Isaac on the altar many years later in Genesis 22. Since Abraham had authentic faith, he would not have refused to do the works God gave him to do. It's all about works with...

That was deep. I hope and pray to God that someday we will be brothers in Christ. :pray: I have love for you as well. (John 13:34) Then why do you interpret James 2:24 to mean man is "accounted as righteous" by works? You also cite James 2:22 to mean that faith is incomplete to save until after...

Exactly! Exposes their true colors.

I just saw in the news where a Haitian illegal alien gangster with a long rap sheet was freaking out after ICE takes him off of the street. That illegal alien was shouting profanity towards Trump (which I can't repeat) and Biden forever, bro! :oops: I say hit the road jack and don't you come...

Socialism is slavery. Bernie Sanders can move to Venezuela and take AOC with him! Here is a very interesting sermon that exposes the dangers of socialism.

Amen! pryw

Some people are too busy exalting themselves and judging others in a harsh manner. Reminds me of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14.

Speaking of narcissism. :rolleyes:

It's possible to hear and not understand. See and not perceive. Like the song goes, "..when you look up in the sky, you can see the stars and still not see the light." Even after I explained to you multiple times what James means by "faith only" in this thread? You certainly hear and do not...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/soros-backed-district-attorney-larry-krasner-exploring-state/ As expected, a Democrat DA is now trying to bring state charges to pardoned January 6ers. Larry Krasner is seeking state charges against pardoned January 6 defendants who live in Pennsylvania...

In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We exercise our will but, the use of...

Presuppositional belief? I already showed you where James said says/claims to have faith (James 2:14) and that James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous and that James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to...

I have properly interpreted what James is saying in context and I also properly harmonized Scripture with Scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. *Be sure to go back and thoroughly read post #4. Your argument is moot. James 2:14 - What use is it, my brethren, if someone says/claims...

If you believe and teach that man is saved by faith + works (even if it's only works in part) then you are a works-salvationist. I am not a faith-onlyist (per James 2:24). I am a faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (per Paul - Romans 4:5-6). I really don't expect you to understand the...

James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

Oh brother. :rolleyes: How did I contradict myself? Genuine faith does not remain alone "barren of works" (James 2:14-24) yet we are still saved through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) God imputes righteousness apart from works. (Romans 4:5-6) No contradiction. You just don't get it. My...
