Faith : becomes your Righteousness

[Behold]

I mean we need to accept Christ to be saved.

"accept Christ".

Is obtuse, and meaningless.

Try, "FATIH in Christ', or "TRUST in Christ"., as that is accurate.

 

[Behold]

I don't think anybody can do good apart from God.

"I dont think" you said........... is proof you are stating your opinions, over and over.
Those are not needed.

Also, Jesus said.>>>"if you being Evil, can give GOOD Gifts, to your Children"..

Now, can an EVIL understand a GOOD Gift?
They just gave one, according to Jesus, but your "opinion" disagrees.
So, lets put your opinions in the Trash Bin, as usual, and Keep the Word's of The Lord, as ours, instead.

So, your Theology, at its core, is blank opinion, and nothing else, and nothing more.
You are one of those who tries on new belief systems, and new denominations, because the ROOT isnt there, yet.
No Solid Grounding in real Faith, found, yet.
I keep waiting for you to start talking about the "contract" that God and a Believer have to agree to, so that they can be saved.

Are you about ready to fire that one up and get it going again, @Randy Kluth

Word games! You state your "opinion" every time you post, brother.

No let's revisit what I actually said, and not your corrupted version of it. I said only God is good, which is what the Scriptures say. So we can all do good *via God's word,* which is given to every man, who is made in the image of God. Good or evil, all men know what "good" is, and all men can do "good" through God.

I keep waiting for you to start talking about the "contract" that God and a Believer have to agree to, so that they can be saved.

I didn't know you were asking for a literal "contract?" The contract is similar to the promise God made to Abraham, that when he believes in God and in His ways, He receives a reward for that faith. The same thing applied under the Law, that when Israel faithfully acknowledged God and His laws, they were blessed. The same thing applies in the New Covenant, that if we acknowledge Jesus and his sacrifice for our sins, we can enter into Christ and be saved.

If you were a student of Paul's Doctrine, which you are not.... then you'd not have that opinion.

I didn't know you were asking for a literal "contract?" T

I was being sarcastic... as I dont need your circular reasoning regarding that "contract issue".

I can't thank you for showing up on my Threads, as you never have anything useful to offer, and your opinions, are your Theology.

Id ask you to just stop responding to my Threads, but, being that you can't write your own, you need to find something to do here.
Apparently.

False, I've been a student of Paul's Doctrine since I made a fuller commitment to Christ at 16 years old. That was a very long time ago! What has evolved is the way I describe my Protestant Faith, which is more of a blend between Protestant Justification and Catholic Justification. I do accept both "Faith Alone" and "Faith and Works," since I do not see them as incompatible. "Faith Alone" is based on Christ's exclusive atonement. And "Faith and Works" is based on a true definition of "Faith."

I can't thank you for showing up on my Threads, as you never have anything useful to offer, and your opinions, are your Theology.

I don't show up on your threads to be friendly, although I'm not against being friendly. I show up to determine that what you say is balanced in the minds of your readers. This is a *public* forum, obviously. If you wish to use the Scripture, you'll have to use it in a balanced way.

Id ask you to just stop responding to my Threads, but, being that you can't write your own, you need to find something to do here.

You may not wish to be challenged, but you don't own a public forum. And I wish to protect those who read your posts and draw unscriptural conclusions. So you're stuck with me.
