Ok lets start here We are enemies of the cross. Alienated from God. In adam. Spiritually dead. We must be born again, Adopted, and be brought into right standing. This is accomplished solely by the work of God. His work on the cross. And his work of thousands of years of gathering witnesses...

Romans refutes the legalistic mindset of faith plus works being require. James refutes the licentious mindset of a claimed faith with no repentance. They think they can say a prayer and they are saved, It does not matter if they continue to act like they always have, because they were not bad...

I think people get confused by the wording There is no such thing as faith alone. A dead faith is no faith at all. It is lifeless. It has no power to do anything. It is mere belief. It can not save because it does not trust It can not work, because it can not trust. So the misnomer “faith...

You act like I have not discussed anything with you or have not been reading your posts Everything I said was true. I am sure you do not like it. But its true If it is of grace it is no longer of works. Period. Paul said if abraham was found by works, he has something to boast about. Paul...

Typical response from someone who does not understand the truth of the gospel No its not. A christian is not a dog. Nor is he a swine, he is a new believer. A new creation. They do not return to their sin. Jhn makes this clear whoever sins has never seen or known God whoever is born of God...

I want to be careful because I am not completely sure I understand you faith is an assurance. A confidence a trust in the person or thing you have faith in. faith comes be hearing and hearing by the word of God faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen...

This happens when people look at the standard of morality where they are and not gods standard of morality anyone who looks at god and does not see how sinful they are are deceived and have not understood gods standard remember john How did he react to an angel? Or Daniel or others that came...

Yeah, Sadly they think they have to clean themselves up. Not realising thats an impossible task.

Amen!, Thats why we need to be made into a new creation, through christ. A dog returns to his vomit because he is still a dog. He does not know any better. When we are made into new creation, our need of sin (to serve self) is removed. Only then can we start to grow into the knowledge and grace...

Your avoiding the truth of the gospel. Dude, faith only is not calvinism. Are you so stuck in your self righteous war against a certain belief that it keeps you blind to the truth. IF IT IS OF GRACE IT IS NO LONGER OF WORKS. You keep ignoring this passage We are saved BY GRACE. Period...

Your right But the Bible does describe the error of people DOING the works of obedience to MERIT SALVATION. You can deny it all you want. It will not make it any less true ROM 11: 6 IF IT IS OF GRACE IT IS NO LONGER OF WRKS, OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO LONGER GRACE. IF IT IS OF WORKS IT IS NO...

your teaching LAW Obedience only works by the law The law stated, cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word. You have failed to do that. You are failing to do that now. And you will continue to fail to do that. The ONLY way through obedience you will be rightiousness is to...

All of those men were saved eternally because of their faith before they did one iota of work. Their works were a result of their faith. Not added to it.. Noah had his physical life saved, but his eternal life in Christ was completed before he even started to build the ark. You need to step...

Yep. We just have James totally contradict paul. We just make the Bible a fairy tail which can not be trusted. Because the writers could not even agree themselves. We don’t look at it that Paul spoke about and to people like you. Who trust their own works and deeds above the work of Christ, and...

I don;t condition my salvation on anything God does. He offers me eternal life based on his work I either in faith say yes Lord. Apply your work to my eternity. Or in unbelief reply no Lord. I reject your gift i will do it my way Jesus made it clear. Whoever believes is not condemned...

The thing to remember is Abraham was justified by faith. Granted, He showed his faith by his works. But he also had some prety grave sin also. He did not always trust perfectly. But he was saved by grace through faith. The NT says we, who are of the faith of Abraham, are saved the same way...

I think of a pharisee when I hear this term..

Excuse me sir The penalty of sin is death. Not being good. Gods standard is perfection. You have not made it. I have not made it no one has. If your going to try to stand in front of God by how good you are. You will not like the outcome.

I think adam and eve and food was perfect. so there was no waste. Waste is a result of sin..

again, not true Our faith is in the work of God. Thats why it is his work. not ours. As jesus said, it is the work of God we believe. Not our work.
