I said Catholic dogma<---a works based vanilla café blend gospel.....do you believe works are part of the equation for salvation...to gain or keep it?
Do you teach, promote, preach and practice obedience to God’s Word which includes His Laws, commandments, teachings and instructions?
If I do as Jesus did, do you call me a catholic or a works salvationist or a sinless perfectionist? I am proud to walk as Jesus did. If I only claim to have faith but don’t practice that faith, i’m a liar, a hypocrite and the truth is not in me.
1 John 1:6-7 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Matthew 23:2-3 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
Do you practice what you preach and your faith?
James 2:22-24 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
Many scriptures would prove that salvation is not by faith alone but as it is written;
Titus 1:15-16 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
Only dead faith cannot save but faith that works in Love is the kind of faith that by God's grace would save.
So let us teach OBEDIENCE as Jesus did and instructed us to do and be the true children of God who serves and obeys His commands through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hebrews 5:7-10 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
