Amen! Exodus 31:16 - Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh...

Your eisegesis culminates in works salvation. It's you who is not a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) Those who believe the gospel trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient...

Confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead are not two separate steps to salvation but are chronologically together. Romans 10:8 - But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (TOGETHER) that is, the...

Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-24). *Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our...

Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, hence not of works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation have obeyed the gospel by choosing to believe the gospel. Romans 10:16 - But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah...

In James 2:21, we notice that James does not say that Abraham's work of offering up Isaac resulted in God accounting Abraham as righteous, which is confirmed in Romans 4:2-3. The accounting of Abraham's faith as righteousness was made in Genesis 15:6, many years before his work of offering up...

James is simply saying faith that remains by itself "barren of works" demonstrates that it's dead. If someone merely says-claims (key word) they have faith but lack resulting evidential works, then they demonstrate that they have an empty profession of faith/dead faith and not authentic faith...

Seventh-day Adventists teach that near the end of time the "mark of the beast" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. o_O https://www.nonsda.org/study8.shtml

God imputes righteousness apart from works, not of works, not by works of righteousness which we have done, not according to our works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Does God perform these works for us why we passively sit by or does man perform these works? So much...

Where does God's word say that obeying God's commandments are conditions for receiving His grace? In 1 John 2:3, we read - By this we know that we have come to know Him, (already know Him, which means we have already received His grace and are saved) if we keep His commandments. So, keeping His...

1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from...

Faith 'results' in obedience to Jesus' New Testament commandments which are summed up in love. (John 13:34; Romans 13:8-10) This is the fruit of faith (Matthew 7:17; 12:33) but not the very essence of faith. Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things...

What straw man? What lie? You clearly teach that we are saved by faith (your version of faith) + works. I often hear those who attend the church of Christ say that we are saved by faith "conjoined" with works and I also hear Roman Catholics say we are saved by faith "infused" with works...

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...
