Dead Works. Consequences ??

[stream]

James chapter 2

Faith and works go together. Abraham demestrated both.
Rahab of Jericho also demestrated it.

Body of Christ has different gifts and functions. Not everyone can be teachers.

One can be good at making money, and dobates to the poor.
Evangelist is one who teaches basics and sends new convert to teacher or pastors.

Volunteer in soup kitchen.

Romans chapter 12 to document

What about dead Works.

Those involved in traditions of men and false doctrine.
Plotting evil against Christian people
Staying bibillcy illiterate. Refuses to study Bible.
Reprobates
Disobedience to God.

These are examples of Dead Works.

Linen makes up your works some people will be naked as Jay bird in sheol.

Revelation chapter 14
Chapter 19
Works make our linen.

Wicked and reprobates go to sheol. It's holding place for the spiritually dead untill judgement Day.

Dead Works have Consequences.

I have faith!!

Show me your Works !!!

 

[MatthewG]

lol none of that means anything if it’s not done in love…
(Volunteered at soup kitchen. Big woop.) some just check off a mark for good deeds when the deeds of love should come through the spirit through us… being thankful to Yahavah for the Holy Spirit we are given in hearts of believers.

You can feed the poor and dress them in warm clothes. It doesn’t mean anything though if you want some type of reward and it’s not done out of love.

Love is the works… that’s all it is. However where are those notions found?

If we don’t love yeah there are consequences. For all our choices, from injecting heroin to getting hooker, to hating your neighbor. Etc….

Dead works in my opinion are those where it is assumed brownie points are attached.
