The passage is describing an action that justified her. Again I appeal to reading skills here. What did the woman DO? Did she just sit there and believe something? Or did she act? Did her faith have action or not?

There...you answered your own question...taking one aspect of the truth to negate plain teaching which you are willing to throw out the window for something you desire to be the whole truth on the matter. Faith without works is dead. And you are not understanding how God's righteousness...

That is part of the equation....but the righteous are not perfect, they sin at times. This is below the holiness standard of Christ.....which is to be as God the Father is in purity. But even though the righteous sin... Prov. 24:16 For though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up...

A religious hypocrite is one who says something or believes something but doesn't do what he says or believes. Jesus says about these...do as they say but not as they do. So people can know something ABOUT the truth but not belong to the truth. People who preach half-truths...or speak the truth...

I came out so much to say it that I started a thread about it. You were just asking a mundane question. This is about reading comprehension. i find that many people here can't read...or have no real reading comprehension. Just look at some of the responses in the threads. Is the lack of...

You just have to read the title of this thread.

keep watching the thread. As soon as you mention the word "righteousness", you get religious statements (implanted by group think) that are partially true but deny reality

Jesus said...you will know them by their love...not by a religious statement. So that should tell you that this is about what people do....not what they believe or opine about. As it says in Mat. 25....those that are Christ's among all the religions and non-religions of the world will be...

So what you are saying is that you are latching onto the invisible things while the visible is pointing another way, perhaps? Reality has nothing to do with faith?

Even if God has chosen us first....we must still also choose Him. Didn't Jesus also choose the rich young ruler saying to Him...follow Me? Yet the rich young man did not choose to follow Christ. So then we must choose Christ. We must choose to obey Him, follow Him, love Him.

Are all the sheep of Christ, Christian believers? No. And neither are all Christian believers His sheep. The truth is not delineated by human considerations and labels. How much of what people think is just vain human understandings? But we will all be judged by our deeds...what we do. Take...

Is this thread a rabbit trail away from religion? Is this thread not a drawing away from rabbit trails of error back onto the path of life? While it seems that God is religious and that Christianity is a religion...it is not so. Christianity is an anti-religion. Christianity is based on truth...

I would like to point out a guide to truth spoken by Jesus which is never quoted because it is so little understood. Mat. 10:41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a...

In this thread I hope to challenge the lack of good sense in so many of todays false doctrines. These false doctrines are insidious and dangerous in that they are invented in hell...and are meant to do the people of God great harm. The problem is so great that the truth will appear as strange...

Let's look at the nameless prostitute who wept before Jesus and washed His feet with her hair.....yes, THAT prostitute. Notice that Jesus says...she is forgiven because she loved much. Who loved much? She did. Her love is what moved Jesus. Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which...

Now this statement may appear to be easy to understand and accept....but in todays religious anti-truth quagmire...it has become unacceptable. So then this is a good place to examine the distance that so many have fallen away from the teachings of Jesus. May this examination lead some people to...

When Paul mentions the works of the law he means Judaism....or any religious dogmatic system that has no life in it. Take modern Christianity...it too has become a dead religious form. People prefer dead forms that seem to give a semblance of security to a living truth that they can't get a...

There are differences of course between The Catholic system and the Protestant system. The main difference is that in the Catholic system, it is man deceiving man. In the Protestant system, it's the other way around.

Yes...house church. The best thing is to find other seekers of God and journey with them.

Or to the degree we respond. But many walk away and seek to continue their own lives on their own terms having become convinced that their eternal welfare is taken care of. A very Protestant attitude. Being born again is receiving Christ in us...a potential that needs to be opened up into...
