    We are saved by God's GRACE - from which stems His iinfinity mercy and love. This doiesn't negate the necessity of works that He provided for us to do (Eph. 2:10) in our faith. If you would stop cherry-picking verses and start learning His Word in CONTEXT - you wouldn't be so confused . . .

    Congratulatiopns. That's the most idiotic thing you've said yet. Simply believing in the promise of a son doesn't justify. Loving and Believing in and hacing hope in anf trusting in and surrendering your will to GOD is what justifies. THAT is the faith that Abraham had. Finally - the demons...

    Setting aside the fact that your statement makes absolutely ZERO sense - I was merely ponting out your complete ignorance of Catholic teaching. I could teach a class on how little you know . . .

    And in your abject ignorance of the Old Testament you fail to undeerstand that works of the LAW were requirements - NOT faith. The works that God prepared for us in advance (Eph. 2:10) ARE part of our faith. Romans 4 is talking about works of the LAW of the Old covenant.

    THANK YOU for openly illustrating a completely idiotic and ignorant grasp of Catholic teaching.

    Ummmmm, there are YOUR idiotic words - not mine: I showed you that the demons ALSO have 'pisteuo' - but they don't have Faith. As I stated before - YOUR failure lies in the fact that you are trying to impose 21st century English on 1st century Koined Greek. That, coupled with your constanc...

    Read the ENTIRE chaptrer pf Romans 4 insteqad of cherry-pickinh partial verses and phrases. Paul is talking about WORKS OF THE LAW. He is NOT talking about the works that God has prepared for us in advcance (Eph. 2:1) - which are an essential element of true faith. At this pont, you're just...

    Thank you for ththose at non-answers, filled with false indignation. YOU are the one who keeps trying to equate "belief" with" faith". The Biuble rejects your view and shows us that mere belief in God is worthless without FAITH - which requires love, hope, surrender and obedience in addition to...

    And I've already proven this to be FALSE. James 2:19 says that even the demons believe (pisteuo) - verb. They do NOT have faith - theyt ONLY have belief. YOU keep insisting that faith is just belief - and it's NOT. As I have stated repeatedly - YOUR problem is that you are trying to use 21st...

    As I’ve already pointed out – Abraham had true faith – NOT just “belief”, as YOU falsely believe. Remember how I showed you that the SAME word is used for belief and faith (pistus). – and it is the CONTEXT of the verse that shows us which word is being alluded to. Abraham believed God and...

    James ISN'T describing what true faith DOES - he is describing what true faith IS. You erroneously interpret that to mean that workjs are a result of faith - a byprodust, wherease James shows that works COMPLETE our faith as an essential element OF it. In EVERY one of Paul's epistules - he...

    Just as I thought. Your understanding of the Epistle of James is as warped as your understanding of the rest of Scripture. James was ABSOLUTELY writing to born-again Christians - mot "make believers". What part of the following makes you think that they were NOT born-again christians?? James...

    That's just it. Anybody can "quote" Scripture - nut NOT everybody understands what it is saying because they completely discount CONTEXT in favor of cherry-picking. This is Scripturally-bankrupt. To say that enduring in faith ONLY applies to those during the Tribulation is to ignore...

    "Things HOPED FOR". This shows us that faith is NOT just a "Thing" as you have repeatedly stated - but an ACTION. that requires much more than simple "belief". "Abraham believed" does NOT mean that he had a simple mental assent to God. It means that he surrendered himself to God - and THAT is...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    You are partially correct. Our faith IS based on hop. However – the Scriptures tells us that it is also based on LOVE (1 Cor. 13:1-13, Gal. 5:6) and OBEDIENCE (James 2:14-26, Matt. 25:31-46). These are things we DO. When you take love out of the equation – you are nothing more than a...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    WRONG. Abraham's faith was COMPLETEWD BY his works (James 2:22). His works weren't done AFTER his faith came about - but as part of it. YOU are still under the fallacy that "Faith" is simply "Belief". I have proven repeatedly with Scripture (James 2:19, 1 Cor. 13:1-13, Gal. 5:6) that you are...

    Never said Pail was wrong. However - faith is NOT just a "thing". It requires love and hope and obedience. Faith is an action as much as it is a thing. Abraham's faith was COMPLETEWD BY his works (James 2:22). His works weren't done AFTER his faith came about. P don't have faith IN the...

    Paul wasn’t wrong at ALL – and neither was James. They BOTH understood and explained that “faith” is something that WOKES (1 Cor. 13:1-13, Gal. 5:6, James 2:14-26). Faith is an action – not just a “thing”. It’s not an “object” as you guys falsely believe. The Bible shows us that it is a LIVING...

    WRONG. There you go again thinking that "Faith" is just "belief". It ain't, according to the Bible . . . James 2:19:24 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not...
