    Ummmmm, that's because we're discussing BIBLICAL faith - and NOT the "faaith" you have in the stock market or your favorit sports team. If you can't understand that - then this entire discussion is pointless . . . And here you go again with your convoluted claptrap because you fail to...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    And there we have yoiur admission that you don't have a CLUE as to what "Faith"" in God i s. Believing is just ONE ingredient which also requires LOVE (1 Cor. 13:2), WORKS (James 2:14-26, Gal. 5:6, Matt. 19:21, 25:31–46, Luke 18:22), OBEDIENCE (Matt. 16:24, John 14:15, 15:10) and HOPE (Matt...

    No - I'm simply showing you that it doesn't say what YOU'RE tryong yo msake it say. Namely, that works are a "byproduct" of faith. That is simply NOT on the pages of Scripture - when read in CONTEXT . . .

    And yet again, you reject the Bible . . . James 2:24 KJV Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and NOT by faith only.

    And again - YOU illustrate that YOUR definition of "Faith" is simply "believing". Just beliving gets you a place right next to the demons (James 2:19). Tell me - why do you suppose that if Paul said in Rom. 4 that Abraham was NOT justified by works - when did James say that he WAS justified by...

    The "Faith" spoken of in the Bible is ALL about God. And the demons have BRLIEF (James 2:19) - NOT fsaith. As I have REPEATEDLY shown you - "pisteuo" (πιστευο) does NOT only meran "Faith". It ALSO means "Berlieve". Pronunciation: pist-yoo'-o Definition: 1) to think to be true, to be persuaded...

    WRONG. The Word of God means everything it says. It just nevewr says that works are a "byproduct" of faith - but rather, an essential element OF it (James 2:14-26).

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Bevcause obedience is ALSO an ingredient of Godly faith. How many UNrighteous works do you think God created for you in advanbce to do? And as James yeaches - what you THINK is faith is NOT - unless you have works to complete oit (James 2:14-26). Works don't simply "fill up" fauth - they...

    Then YOU are at odds with the Word of God, which explicitly states that Abtraham's faith was COMPETED by his works (James 2:22). Your analofy about expecting something from my works of faith is nonsense. God GAVE me those things to do (Eph. 2:10) as part OF my faith.

    If you can't understand that "faith" in your finances is NOT the same thing as faith iun God - then I really can't help you . . .

    There arenb't any - for the one who understands God's Word. They ALL point to the fact that works COMPLETE faith.

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    And I've ALREADY shjown you that YOU didn't "produuce" anything - GOD pproduced those works for you to do as a completion OF fauth, not as a result FROM it HE gets the glory for those works. YOU'RE simpoky doing what HE arranged in advance for you to do as the completion of your faith. THAT'S...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    WRONG. James's entire point is that you CANNOT have faith UNLESS you have works (James 2:14-26), whioch complete faith (James 2:22). They don't "resultt from" faiuth - they are and ingregient OF faith. YOUE argumernt is as ignorant as claiming that a cake produces eggs. Eggs are an essential...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    Not according to the Bible . . . James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Rev. 5:8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    I f you actually knoew what you were talking about, you wouldn't use the ignorant term, "Roman Catholi" for ALL things Catholic. "Roman" simply refers to ONE of about TWENTY Liturgical Rites that comnprose the Catholic Church. Some of thes other Rites include the Chaldean, the Melkite...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    No - it;s called, "Church Authority" and it is God-given - and was NEVER granted to a single one of your Protestant Fathers . . . Matt 16:18-19 I will give yYOU the keys to the kingdom of heaven. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven; and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth shall be...

    Nah - I simply educated you about the fat that this is the SAME word, "pisteuo" (πιστευο) that James uses in James 2:19 for the demons. James is comparing FAITH with includes works - with BELIEF, which doesn't - and which id what the demnons anf YOU have . . .

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    WRONG again. I do them because God created those things for me to do in advance (Eph. 2:10) as part of my faith, which is obedience. If you're doing them solely as a "thank you" to God and NOT aas part of your faith in obedience to Him- then you are missing the point.

    Thanks for at least admotting that you don't takje Jesus seriously when He said that we must do the following . . . - Be baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) - Picking up our cross daily to follow him (Matt. 16:24, Luke 9:23) - DO Works of...
