In regards to James 2, "faith without works is dead" does not mean that faith is dead until it produces works (which would be like saying that a tree is dead until it produces fruit and then it becomes a living tree and the fruit is the source of life in the tree). James is simply saying faith...

I call that "type 2 works salvation" or salvation by works at the back door. ALL false religions and cults teach that salvation is either "obtained" by works or "maintained" by works or both. From beginning "have been saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8) to end "receiving the end of your...

Is this the Christianity Board or the Jerry Springer show? :oops:

I see and yes I'm aware and yes, CLING TO JESUS.

Romans 5:1 - Therefore, having been justified (accounted as righteous) by faith, (and works? NO simply - faith) we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the Bread of Life and just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers. John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Jesus used figurative language to...

I've been watching and the video is very telling! TUCKER CARLSON: The January 6 videos touch a nerve because they threaten Dems' lies Tucker sounds off on Chuck Schumer's call for censorship https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-january-6-videos-touch-nerve-because-they-threaten-dems-lies

Interesting video but I'm not sure why you responded to my post with this video. I've been keeping an eye on the coming (not so) great reset.

In John 3:18, Jesus said - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. In Acts 10:43, Peter said - Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who...

Sounds like something a lawyer would say. The word "Catholic" simply means "universal." So you are saying there is more than one "Catholic" church? The Roman Catholic church has "added" non-canonical books and tradition to the Bible. Placing our faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation is...

1 John 1:8 - if we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, (past tense) we make Him a...

Yes. After it was decreed that Christianity was to be the official religion of the Roman empire, pagans flooded into the church and brought their pagan beliefs and traditions with them. One of those ancient pagan beliefs was a place of purification where souls went to make satisfaction for their...

SELF promotion, SELF righteousness and SELF preservation all stems from PRIDE. For these folks it's all about SELF. Me, Me, Me, I, I, I.

Purgatory is a travesty on the justice of God. It's a disgraceful lie that robs Jesus Christ of His glory and honor. Jesus Christ alone satisfied divine justice, once and for all, by His ALL-sufficient sacrifice. The fatal deception of purgatory blinds Roman Catholics from the glorious gospel of...

Hebrews 12:6 - For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. 7 You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there...

2 Corinthians 4:3 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Jesus does not need our help to save...

Well I'm sorry if you feel that I used more words expressed than needed in my post, but I like to be thorough in my explanations. Not that you will care either way to seriously consider what I have to say. Your beliefs are obviously fixed and your conscience is seared. I hear this argument all...

I did not say works alone, but faith AND works. I've heard it all my life. I was raised in the Roman Catholic church. There it is. A distinction without a difference. Faith "infused" with works (essential element) of faith and not just a by product of it. You just made my case. In 1...

You nailed it! 1 Corinthians 2:14 - But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

"Faith only" per James 2:24 is an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains alone - "barren of works" (James 2:14) which is not to be confused with faith that trusts in Christ alone for salvation. (Romans 4:5-6) James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but...
