Faith saves apart from the merit of works (Romans 4:2-6) yet authentic faith does not remain apart from the presence of works. (James 2:14-24) Learn the difference. More irony and quite the opposite. Roman Catholics (who also trust in works for salvation would certainly agree with you here)...

The law of Christ is not salvation by works. In Galatians 6:2, we read - Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. That would fall under loving your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39) which is not excluded from the law of Moses. (Leviticus 19:18) How many of us have...

Believing in/placing faith in water baptism + other works for salvation does not make you a believer. Genuine believers have placed their faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. (John 3:15,16,18; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 10:43; 16:31; Romans 1:16; 10:4; 1 John 5:13 etc..)...

More of the same longwinded nonsense. You have been thoroughly indoctrinated into church of Christ theology and are unteachable. :( I at one time had temporarily attended the so-called church of Christ several years ago, so I understand how they try to "shoehorn" works "into" salvation through...

Abraham was BEFORE the law of Moses, so your argument does not hold water. Plus, in Romans 4:3, Paul simply said Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. No works included, so ALL works apply. Abraham believed God "apart from additions or modification" no works...

Straw man argument. When Abraham performed the good work in Genesis 22; he fulfilled the expectations created by the pronouncement of his faith in Genesis 15:6. In James 2:23, the scripture was fulfilled in vindicating or demonstrating that Abraham believed God and was accounted as righteous. My...

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, (believes plus what? Simply believes) for the Jew first and also for the Greek. What happened to multiple acts of obedience/obeying multiple commandments/works...

To the contrary. Romans 4:6 - just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works. Your argument is with God, not me. Paul simply said, "apart from works" in Romans 4:6 and not works of the law of Moses and regardless, when it comes to the...

Normal is not coming back but Jesus is.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/aoc-says-conservative-supreme-court-justices-need-check/ AOC said the conservative Supreme Court Justices need a “check on their power” or we will start seeing a “dangerous authoritarian expansion of power.” We are already seeing a dangerous...

That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow works-salvationists to trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-SUFFICIENT means of their salvation...

Dan is teaching salvation by the obedient act of choosing to believe the gospel (Romans 1:16; 10:16) and multiple acts of obedience/works which follow are the fruit of salvation, but not the root of it. God imputes righteousness apart from works. (Romans 4:6) Yet Titus says otherwise. Choosing...

Believing only which does not result in producing obedient works at all is not saving belief in Christ and is no different than the belief of devils. (James 2:19) Works of obedience/good works are the fruit, by product and demonstrative evidence of authentic belief/faith. All genuine believers...

Amen! Excellent post and video. :woohoo!:

You showed me no such thing. Only your eisegesis. Romans 4:11 - And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might...

Those who are born of God are characterized by obedience and not disobedience. Ephesians 2:2 - And you He made alive, who were (past tense) dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked (past tense) according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air...

I don't teach salvation by "faith only" (James 2:24) which is an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains barren of works. (James 2:14) Not to be confused with "salvation through faith (rightly understood) in Christ alone (Romans 4:5-6) which results in producing works. (Ephesians 2:10)...

"Faith only" per James is an empty profession of faith/dead faith that produces no works (James 2:14) which is not to be confused with faith that "trusts in Christ alone for salvation" and not in works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9)

That is their supplement, which nullifies faith.
